do not use tib ed at all. edit all ini's in word pad or equivalent. I am school right now so I can not give you the proper code unfortunately. I'll see what I can dig up when I get home.

I didnt mod for long time, but if I remeber correctly, you have to edit the super weapon building...

[GAPLUG1]
Name=Threat Rating Node
Image=GAPLUG_D
Prerequisite=GAPLUG
TechLevel=10
Armor=wood
Sight=1
Owner=GDI
Cost=500
Points=30
Power=-20
Crewed=no
Capturable=no
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
PowersUpBuilding=gaplug
PowersUpToLevel=-1
ThreatPosed=0 ; This value MUST be 0 for all building addons
IsThreatRatingNode=true
SuperWeapon=DropPodSpecial

NOTE: if you only have TS, you got to code the whole SW in, I think

EDIT: For what do u want this PlugIn? Because you also can edit the Image of the normal plugIn, so, it will look like the threat rating node, but it would be the same as before...

thanks (i only have TS) guess now i got the [GAPLUG1] set up right the only problem is i just started moding and i only know the basics so what i am trying to say is i don't know how to code the whole Super Weapon if you could please give me the codes id be extremely thankful

I've basically been learning from TibEd but its really limiting as far as i am concern Peace and Thanks!

You also may open one of these map and copy the code... That should be the easiest way for you^^
