Is this true? If it is, I can continue with planing my second mod.
It just seemed to be a bit far fetched, yet if true, then it be verry good for RA2 modders. YR modders not so much.

I did this to avoid Necro-posting.

Don't bother there has been a lot of research into new side logic

You basically have

no new eva
no new load screens
no workable ai
short game doesn't work with AI

Its been mentioned in TS but exactly the same issues.

The only tool which allows the addition of a new side sucessfully is RP/NP currently.

Well, I have seen DL's for Eva's, Load screens, and AI's. Why would this not fix it?

HARDCODED

All that stuff is for replacements of RP/NP and AI is about the logic of building stuff.

Here is all the logic which is impossible to implement properly without exe hack

Did AG forget to read the post again? He said no YR. Thus meaning RA2 vanilla.

AFAIK about RA2, there are only 2 defined sides to the game GDI (allies) and NOD (Soviet).

The [AI] and [Sides] sections in vanilla Rules.ini is almost verbatim to TS. Only more entries basically.

So in conclusion, RP/NP documentation won't help him. Not this time.

AG did read the post properly.

Then may I ask why did he suggest RP/NPatch documentation? They are both for YR thus useless to RA2 vanilla.

Lazy EDIT: woobles I saw the non-exe hax thingy.

I suggets getting YR or TFD... It adds more modding possibilities, and the public patches work with it Wink
