Hi, im new to this editing stuff..i alrdy made some changes to my Firestorm (actually im tryin to balance it, since westwood kinda made gdi too strong) ..and i have a problem: i dunno how to make walls cost less... i alrdy tried modifying its cost in the Rules.ini, but nothing happened..i also tried adding a new building (the walls) in the Firestorm.ini, and nothing (yes, i listed the names of the buildings, and cloned them from Rules.ini)..i just changed the cost to 50, but again nothing happened, they still cost the damn 250.....please, some help on this.. sorry to bother with such an stupid question, i know ure all busy.. thx in advance QUICK_EDIT

Anderwin, learn to read questions before heroically posting something unhelpfull.
If you have changed the cost of the walls, I don't see why it shouldn't have affected it, however I believe someone had the same problem once on these forums and they posted a topic about it, I suggest you look around for it. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
well, im refering to the concrete walls, but thx anyway... hmm i tried looking as you said Morpher, and found only 2 posts... 1 by Judeau (he was talkin about some bug that occurs when the computer builds walls) and 1 by MudGe....none helped..any other ideas or solutions please? sry to bother QUICK_EDIT

A small question: do you have TS patched up to 2.03. If so, with this patch, the walls can be created with a line (just like Firestorm Defence Wall), and the cost of the wall is hardcoded to $250. QUICK_EDIT
hardcoded parts of the game can't be changed by the superficial .ini files. like how the civilians always turn colored gray.
actually you can
you just need to look at the color table inside the rules file
under [Colors]
the values there are HSV, or Hue, Saturation, Value
Saturation is how strong the Hue color shows up( faded, or bright ), the Value tag sets how light or dark it is, high values make it light
and Hue is well, the color, in a mildly fucked up way
and on fixing "hardcoded units" simply clone em , and make the originals unbuildable, of course you need to adjust tags to reflect the cloned units, but i won't get into that, simply fiddle around with it _________________ Micro TS
Portable, no campaign, movies or music, just the engine and needed resources for skirmish and lan. QUICK_EDIT
hey, that's very useful information there Judeau, thanks. I read somewhere in the forums some time ago that their remap color can't be changed but perhaps now I can finally change that annoying gray color on the civies QUICK_EDIT
es un programa que edita el rules.ini y les hace cambios directamente. de primera mano ayuda... pero si luego quieres modificarlo en modo avanzado, tendrias que hacerlo a mano.
por cierto, tienes un mensaje privado mio
now, I back to english _________________ "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes" -J.D. Zallinger

If i can guess good, you gave him the advise to use TibEd. Then i give this advise: dont use it, just use Notepad or a similar program, because TibEd and all other relatives (SunEdit2K, etc) mess up your files. I say this because i have used them too. QUICK_EDIT
Judeau: thx for the help man, im gonna try that.. if it doesnt work or i get confused...ill just give up..thx again
OccultSpectre: no quiero usar programas como ese, es que quiero aprender a modificar el juego por medio de notepad, pero gracias de todas maneras.
Dutchygamer: yeah, i tried using Sunedit2k but i dont like it, cause it does mess things up.

For this reason, the victorious army first realizes the conditions for victory, and then seeks to engage in battle. The vanquished army fights first, and seeks victory after." QUICK_EDIT
aun asi, no podras jugar online con el rules modificado... _________________ "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes" -J.D. Zallinger
