but it doesnt work.

i make the mammoth tank a little cheaper. but ingame it doesnt change.
always 1700 credits...

then i changed all mammoth tanks(gdi, nod ...) ingame 1700 Sad

you have some help for me?

thanks in advance

What cost section are you talking about? Every unit has their own cost specified in the unit's section, there is no global cost section defining the cost of each unit. For example, GDI's Mammoth tank:

Quote:

[HTNK]
Nominal=yes
Name=Mammoth Tank
FSName=Mammoth Tank
Category=AFV
Prerequisite=WEAP,FIX
Primary=120mm
Secondary=MammothTusk
Strength=600
;CrateGoodie=yes
Armor=heavy
Turret=yes
TechLevel=5
Sight=6
Speed=4
Owner=GDI
Cost=1500
...

For The Toxic Diversion, editing the Cost= value (that I highlighted in my previous post) in Rules.ini should be enough.

The campaign shouldn't be that hard though #Tongue

yes, i did.

but here is the problem.

ingame the mammoth costs 1700 (mission 3 the frontal duel)
in rules.ini are 1500.

so i changed the costs from 1500 to 1000.

then i start the savegame an restart the mission.
the mammoth costs now 1700 as before Rolling Eyes

The Rules.ini settings are also saved in the saved games, so making edits to Rules.ini indeed won't work then. You'll have to restart the mission by going to Abort and then clicking Restart.

Cheating your way through the missions is a waste though. You're better off setting the difficulty to Easy or lowering the game speed whenever necessary and also save often. This way you can at least improve yourself and you'll be able to handle more difficult missions in the future.
