The only difference between adding a unit to the rules file and a map is that in map you cannot add new art assets. Beyond that it's absolutely the same. QUICK_EDIT
omg, just click at them and place them into the f*cking map! (sorry, got mad) they're already there if you've coded them at rules/art ini _________________ QUICK_EDIT
ok i see what you need so this is what you have to do.
Open wordpad.
Open your map in wordpad
Copy the new unit you made thats in your edited rule.ini to the bottum of the wordpad as long as it doesn't use a new artfile and you make sure you copy the part of list for the unit in Unitlist it should work.
Heres a quick example:
----------------------------------------------------------
^loads of map text that will be very long
***Unitlist***

100(wot ever next new number should be)=MBUGGY
[MBUGGY]

OMG you just copy rename copy rename the fire rate is ROF= tag the range=tag is range. God Look around first. And be sure you post is in the right forum. QUICK_EDIT
Why did you create the reaper and the defender as infantry in the first place, then? They make much more sense as vehicles... and you don't need any sequences then. QUICK_EDIT
yeah i changed it but when the big guy is created his hed aperes in the roof and i dont like that but its ok _________________ Global Genocide Website QUICK_EDIT
Barrels are for turreted voxels only. Originally, in TS they would aim up or down dependant upon their target, but that got removed in Ra2, in favor of just using the static 'fire angle'. It's pointless to make a BARL voxel for something that doesn't have a turret. You could euther make the chassis and barrel all one voxel, or add it in as another voxel section. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

A guide that introduces the editorial program
Can someone please make a guide for the editor, that explaines its functions step by step, screenshots on every step would be extra helpfull. A guide that goes through the editor step by step and lets you do the things described in the guide while you read them, like the Heroes5 tutorial for the map editor or the tutorial for the elder scrolls 3 construction set.
The guide should have a goel, for example to make a new faction and a map. The guide describes step by step what you have to do and you just read and follow the instructions and do what's described. The guide should let you do both own new units and importing already existing units and buildings. Because when you know have to make a new faction you also know have to edit an already existing faction. So it would be optimal for the learning to have to make a whole new faction.
The guide should be very simple and very explaining, like explaining for a child. It would be optimal if the guide contained screenshots from the editor on every stage of the modding process and screenshots on how the changes made in the editor affects the game.
So then when you start modding and gets a bit unsure, you just have to look in the guide to see how they did there.
It would be were helpfull for us newbies with a guide like this, that introduces the editor to you in a simple way.
Edit: The guide would be great if it were as explaining as this:
That's why I pin up a notice about someone making a tutorialguide for the XCC editor. That would be very helpful for us newbies, but I guess I'll have to learn the hard way like everyone else. But if there were a guide like that, nobody would have to ask questions because the easy tutorialguide would explain everything.
Should I test Final Alert, btw what's that? QUICK_EDIT
Hmm... I'm wondering so if you add new unit like [YURI] thing then it replaces teh yuri.
So how i can make units they don't replace any other units? QUICK_EDIT
