Final Alert 2 questions

deputy865 · Vehicle Driver **Joined**: 11 Apr 2007

I have no idea what i'm doing. I'm in the INI editor for FA2 but it is confusing as all hell. Is there an easier editor? After reading some stuff on here i think i know how to do stuff, but dont know where to put/apply the code to make the mod work. Haha, i'm so confused i dont know what questions to ask to help myself out. Is there a tutorial i can read/watch? Or can someone give me the run down on how to get things going?

100% clueless..

Can anyone help a poor newb out? Been makin maps on FA2 for 2 years now and just found out you can mod stuff haha.

What exactly are you trying to do? Just modding in general, or do you just want to edit some certain things?
What i advise you do, is download the RA2 INI Files from somewhere, and read through the "RA2 Rules.INI", and learn what the certain codes mean...
Say you want to give the GI better armour (Or something else really simple like that), either open your map out in wordpad, or simply use the INI Editor (Which i myself, find it easier than playing around in wordpad), and enter the following.

Strength=500

Yeah?? You just need to learn what each code means... Alough with the inparticular thing i posted above is complete and utter crap... Who'd give a GI That much armour anyhow?

Where are the Rules.INI files at of the map? Because when i go to where i have the map saved, right click then go to open with and i select note pad or word pad it comes up with ALOT of random nothingness. Just a whole bunch of unorganized random letters and numbers.

You just go to the bottom of all the random stuff & then put your Codes at the bottom.

eg..

Code:

................................
147=Neutral,NANRCT,256,100,11,64,None,1,0,1,0,0,None,None,None,0,0
148=Neutral,NANRCT,256,94,11,64,None,1,0,1,0,0,None,None,None,0,0
149=Neutral,NANRCT,256,90,12,64,None,1,0,1,0,0,None,None,None,0,0

vv THEN THIS IS WHERE YOU PUT YOUR CODES. vv

[E1]
Strength=500

Don't put all of the entry in, just what you want to change.

Hopefully that should help you :]

First of all, either extract rulesmd.ini using XCC Editor, or get the YR File pack from RADEN or somewhere...

You can look for whatever you need in the rulesmd.ini file.
