you dont have to start with EVERYTHING at once...

try INI first and change some things (there are MANY things to change and play thru INI)

then change graphic

then try some map creating

Everyone here has all been a n00b before and/or never/or even heard of it/ used TibEd. YOu should just take things abit slow at first then move onto the next thing. Easier that way.

Not true, many of the veterans never had the 'luxury' of TibEd or SE2k or didn't know of their existance when they joined.

Umm.. Not really.. Back then, when TS the most advanced game out there, there wasn't shit. Paint was, probalby, used like OS SHP builder is now.

Yep. every mod featured 1TNK,2TNK,3TNK,4TNK. Afterglow pratically revoloutionized TS modding by explaing that C&C 95/RA1 SHPs could be added. i got started that way myself. RA2,though. i wanted to play with the stupid Hind Transport so bad,i got a RULES.INI(I had no clue wtf a MIX file was..) off of C&CDEN,and made the Hind buildable.

Hmm, what I suggest, is a lot of step-by-step tutorials.

Offtopic, Clazzy is right on target, us 'oldies' (Although for some reason few people think of me as one) started out either before TS, and before programs like TibEd or SunEdit2K, or just didn't know about them. Personally I started before RA came out, and there was no alternative to notepad/wordpad. When SunEdit and the such came about, they just couldn't match up to notepad.

Ok ok, yes.. obviously peoples are going to have bought the game... opened up install files in wordpad.. and saw a wholwe world of moddingness inthere... going rigfht back to any game.. the earlier the more.. possibilties a lot of the time. But htis thread almost turned into a ztyping "Im a vet and so cool I edit in wordpad i can read text and figure out the obvious " kind of thread. Lets not do that.

Wolf Dane.. I suggest you as people have previously said... start out slow. Add a few units.. or maybe just reenable soem units hidden away in the mixes.. if voxelling isnt your hting.. theres a lot of kickass voxels available on the net. Check out the HUUUUGE kickass ummmm....... thing at tumsun.. im drunk to remeber it. But start out small.. build your experience.. and bedcome kickass. Good luck dude. Im looking forward to you contributing whatever you can to the community.

EDIT - Oh yes, but really.. these guys did hit on a point.. no matter their braggishness.. TIBEDIT/SUNEDIT2000 SUCK MAJOR FREAKING ASS AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS!!! Your basic text editor should be more than sufficient.. do an open with/wordpad and look around.. a lot of it is extremely serlf explanatory. Also look around the tutorials on here and www.TiberiumSun.com ... a heell of alot to be learnt... played with.. had fun with... and generally... make your existence a btter experience.

maybe a stupid thing, but tru se2k i've learned all the basics, but for more advanced things, you must use notepad. so my hint is: use first se2k, and if you can't use it anymore, or you understand it very well, stop with it and work with notepad

thorn · Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2005 5:03 pm Post subject:

hey wolf, sorry it took me so long to find you dude..

i'll explain... Me an wolf were partners 'back in the good old days' used tibed a lot for TS/RA2/YR. Rolling Eyes

got a few new units created, mainly on RA2 for me... like Gattling Troopers, the gattling grand cannon Laughing

prism troopers etc...

now i realise that this is going off topic a bit... but was was it to begin with...

Anyway...

Just a quick question... is it possible to import the Steath option from the Nod stealth tanks in TS, and place into RA2/YR? i'm not saying why just yet.. but if possible it means that with a lilttle bit of help, me an wolf can 'revitalise' a few old projects...

yes
you can check the submarine units for cloaking tags.

also my advice is learn to voxel good no one notices if your coding is shit if you have sexy graphics.

NO learn to make good shps! there are so many good voxelers and so few good shp makers! and as alex said Its the outside that matters not the inside... or well thats false but whatever

very nice signature wolf dane...

well to be ontopic, I would have to aggree with ackron. A lot of mods are missing some new quality voxels, and if you spend the time to make only a few new ones instead of a lot of ripped ones it will be well worth it.

And what is meant by coding?

No. If you use a .INI editor, go hunt down TibEd, or even better, screw all the INI editors.

The sig i got was off a m8's website hehehe, nice to see u here thorn woundered how long it take for u to track me down....

sub marine = under water...

extract hte SHP of your new building, put it into ecache##.mix (## = 02-99) and copy an art.ini building code (e.g.: NAHAND) and change anything you need.

then you can add it to your rules.ini

nah i think i would leave out the tiberium moster for trainable units, after watching some japanesse anime (yes,again thorn) most noteably robotech hehehehe it gave some inspiration for a modd involving where tiberium first came from.....
