Upgrades

Hello!

I dont know if any red alert 2 mod has done this but is it possible to include upgrades for units,structures...etc?

I.E:An upgrade that increases the armor for a unit.

Thanks!

IIRC you're modding RA2, in which case no you cant... Only thing you can do is upgrade a buildings weapon, power or superweapon like in TS.

If you are using Ares tho you can use Prerequisite.Negative= to simulate an upgrade on a unit by removing a unit from the sidebar & replacing it with another one with better stats.

You could also use Ares's attach effect logic to "upgrade" units but it's still the in the testing phase & will be released in the future.

Only for structures, but using them as prerequisites is glitchy. But using them for upgrading power plants is just fine.
You cannot use upgrades on units.

If you are using them as prerequisite, I cannot guarantee they'll work (properly).

Just treat them as any other prerequisite, add them to the 'Prerequisite=' list of the unit which requires the upgraded structure.

Prerequisites don't work on upgrades, again unless you use Ares in which case they do.

You really should just switch to using YR/Ares most of the stuff you have been asking about recently is only possible with Ares after all.

Upload your syringe.log after you launched the bat.

Or first install YR as well and update it to 1.001.

I own five copies of first decade, most I paid for First decade was $11, excluding when i first bought the original games, but those weren't first decade. The most recent Decade pack I got for under $4 on Ebay. No excuses not to buy the game really, when you can get it so cheap.

Well back in the day I use to do lan parties on xwis with friends at my house, since I own 5 computers.... but really I picked some of them up on a whim, most I paid under $8 for or less. Some of the keys my friends use on their machines so we can play since their too cheap to buy the game...
