The only difference between adding a unit to the rules file and a map is that in map you cannot add new art assets. Beyond that it's absolutely the same.

ok i see what you need so this is what you have to do.

Open wordpad.
Open your map in wordpad
Copy the new unit you made thats in your edited rule.ini to the bottum of the wordpad as long as it doesn't use a new artfile and you make sure you copy the part of list for the unit in Unitlist it should work.
Heres a quick example:
----------------------------------------------------------
^loads of map text that will be very long

***Unitlist***
-
-
-
100(wot ever next new number should be)=MBUGGY

[MBUGGY]
Name=Missle attack buggy
blah blah blah you get the idea i hope

If you would make a tutorial on how to make hvas with hva builder Banshee, that would be freakin' sweet. I can make awesome voxels, but I would like to know how to make turrets work, too.

I have a request, I want to make a second artilarty type for GDI with farther range, better accuracy and a 10 second rate of fire (using the rules.ini(basically I want to know how to copy weapons and vehicles and make the copied versions different)

like: NOD artillary being the normal one and GDI artillary being the copied and modified version.

Why did you create the reaper and the defender as infantry in the first place, then? They make much more sense as vehicles... and you don't need any sequences then.

yes ok..I figured that out but i have another question.

when making a tank without a turret..like the Howi, is it possible to make a seperate barrel voxel..or is that only needed for turretless tanks?

Im making a SU-152 spg. much like the one in my AVI.
the body looks great..but my barrel didnt show up ingame.

Barrels are for turreted voxels only. Originally, in TS they would aim up or down dependant upon their target, but that got removed in Ra2, in favor of just using the static 'fire angle'. It's pointless to make a BARL voxel for something that doesn't have a turret. You could euther make the chassis and barrel all one voxel, or add it in as another voxel section.

Geoff, the [Bomb] weapon already does that. Fiddle with its ROF and Range properties if need be.

Erm, shapes? You must mean voxels and SHPs. There is already a tutorial on properly adding tanks and infantry here in PPM.

Also, there is RA2 FAQ.

PostPosted: Wed May 02, 2007 4:58 pm    Post subject:  A guide that introduces the editorial program Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

Can someone please make a guide for the editor, that explaines its functions step by step, screenshots on every step would be extra helpfull. A guide that goes through the editor step by step and lets you do the things described in the guide while you read them, like the Heroes5 tutorial for the map editor or the tutorial for the elder scrolls 3 construction set.

The guide should have a goel, for example to make a new faction and a map. The guide describes step by step what you have to do and you just read and follow the instructions and do what's described. The guide should let you do both own new units and importing already existing units and buildings. Because when you know have to make a new faction you also know have to edit an already existing faction. So it would be optimal for the learning to have to make a whole new faction.

The guide should be very simple and very explaining, like explaining for a child. It would be optimal if the guide contained screenshots from the editor on every stage of the modding process and screenshots on how the changes made in the editor affects the game.

So then when you start modding and gets a bit unsure, you just have to look in the guide to see how they did there.

It would be were helpfull for us newbies with a guide like this, that introduces the editor to you in a simple way.

Edit: The guide would be great if it were as explaining as this:

http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Quest_Tutorial

But with screenshots!

You see now, I really need a tutoriaguide. Some guys told me to get the XCC editor, but according to you there are many, which should I use?

What's FA2?

EDIT: Is there an easy tutorial for XCC or FA? I could only find complicated ones.

FA2 is Final Alert 2 the offical map editor.

XCC Mixer is used to created mod.exe files and extract ini files and for plugging in custom graphics, etc.

The pinned topics in RA2/YR can help.

I can really only give help if its specific problem, trying to explain something like XCC is normally too generalised.

Basically Try and Ask

That's why I pin up a notice about someone making a tutorialguide for the XCC editor. That would be very helpful for us newbies, but I guess I'll have to learn the hard way like everyone else. But if there were a guide like that, nobody would have to ask questions because the easy tutorialguide would explain everything.

Should I test Final Alert, btw what's that?

Add them to the appropriate list, such as InfantryTypes or BuildingTypes.
