Well from what you are saying, I really dont know where to have you start, I guess the best thing for now would be to go online and download the XCC utilities to extract your ini files and go from there with trial and error, because it would take mass amount of time and typing to explain it all, there are alot of tutorials out there that will help you along the way, but dont run away from this site, stick around and keep posting bro, Good luck
I will tell you this though for now cause so simple, open your map file located in your RA2 folder with word pad and add this for your money
[CAOILD]
ProduceCashAmount=100000
this will give you the infinite money, but make sure you have oil derricks placed on map, and you will only need 1 per person... QUICK_EDIT
First off, for the love of god, PLEASE use proper grammar, looking at your typing is straining my eyes.
Now that thats out of the way:
Quote:
Prism Tanks can attack rocketeers.
If you want to change what type of terrain a weapon will shoot at(ground, water, air), you look at the weapons projectile which is defined under Projectile= on the unit's weapon. Look at the tags under the projectile list for the descriptions(If you look at the unedited rules.ini)
Quote:
and I want to know how to make a tech oil derrick make infinite money
ProduceCashAmount and ProduceCashDelay are the tags you want to edit here, if you lower ProduceCashDelay too far, it won't produce any cash(it broke for me below 10)
Quote:
and be invincible
Immune tag is what you want to slap on your building here. Immune=yes will make it impossible to damage.
Quote:
How do I make the game fast build?
BuildSpeed under [General]
Quote:
and how do I change what paratroopers drop
If you mean what units a paradrop gives, look at this section, its self explanitory so I'm not saying anything on it other than this is also under [General]
Code:
;GEF
;************ American Paradrop Special Rules ***********
;These two lists _must_ have the same number of elements, otherwise bad crashiness will result
;AmerParaDropInf=E1,GHOST,ENGINEER ;Types of infantry for the planes to drop
;AmerParaDropNum=6,6,6 ;How many of each of those infantry
AmerParaDropInf=E1 ;Types of infantry for the planes to drop
AmerParaDropNum=8 ;How many of each of those infantry
AllyParaDropInf=E1 ;Types of infantry for the planes to drop
AllyParaDropNum=6 ;How many of each of those infantry
SovParaDropInf=E2 ;Types of infantry for the planes to drop
SovParaDropNum=9 ;How many of each of those infantry
YuriParaDropInf=INIT ;Types of infantry for the planes to drop
YuriParaDropNum=6 ;How many of each of those infantry

Condesending though some of you may be, I appreciate the help none the less. lol, and sorry about the grammar last time around, I was fairly hammered. Where do I access to the unedited rules.ini? Thanks again guys! _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT
Better yet, just use the search function of XCC Mixer (Ctrl+F) and type "rule*.ini". That way it will show any/all "rules.ini" or "rulesmd.ini" you have. QUICK_EDIT

0 is invalid (ProduceCashDelay). Put at least 1 or 2.

So, which one of you is correct? _________________ DUNK! QUICK_EDIT
ok got it, jeez theres so much to figure out, so nwo if i want a prism tank to shoot air, i put projectile= ? air, or is there anactual format name for each weapon? if so, whats one for ground to air to put under projectile? thanks again guys..huge help
i just played this map i made with all this stuff, and for some reason about half way through the game it wont let me produce any more units. it will highlight them and i can put up to thirty in qeue like normal, but it wont actual produce..what now? _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT
WOW SO MANY PROBLEMS, no for some reason, the game is like cycling, once the money max's out from the oil, it does down, and u cant build during th down time, and when it hits zero it starts to go back up and then u can build again, also apacolypse tanks are upgraded to elites after killing one thing, no matter what it is!!!! soo many help _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT

1)Dunno about money madness. Seems interesting in concept. Forced people to choose what they want to build in a limited ammount of time.
2)Remember that veterancy system work on price system - each unit has to kill a certain ratio of enemy units prices to its own prices. So, ifapoc costs 10 and conscript still 100, it will pretty much instantly become elite. Lower prices tend to have this tendency. You need to balance out the prices. _________________ DUNK! QUICK_EDIT
Sounds like you made a typing boo-boo, just put this in yer map, you dont need cash delay, or cash start up, just simply put
[CAOILD]
ProduceCashAmount=1000000
It'll go on and on forever, and by the time someone gets around to killing yer oil derrick you should already have more cash than you will be able to spend in 500 games
and yea if you changed the price to say like Cost=0 for testing purposes, yea it will pretty much become elite instantly, and no offense but why would you want a prism tank to have AA. QUICK_EDIT
you called it. it costed 1, i dont remember doing that. do u know how to make prism tanks shoot air units? i tried giving them the projectile qualitys of aegis, and what i thoght was flak tnaks. but instead they just turned towards the air units but didnt shoot. what do i need to put under projectile to get them to shoot air. is there anything else i need to put on sref to get them to shoot air other then projectile? thanks again for all ur guys help _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT
um if ya really want the prism to have AA, then add a secondary weapon
Secondary=Medusa ;or any other ground to air weapon, i think theres a few of them
Turret=yes
Also remeber this, if you use a wepon, and you alter that weapon, if something else uses that same weapon it to will fire that altered weapon, so be wise and be careful. Or just create your own weapon. QUICK_EDIT
i added the seconday and turret rules, it didnt help, still wont go AA how do i make my own weapon?!? _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT
wow, thats a lot more involved then just those two original lines..lol, thakns though, ill test it out, weed guy is already in this file that im messin with i dont notice anything weird about it. why is it NOT to be used lol
whats the rule file name for grand cannon. _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT
bastard sref...well i have seen no nukes out of anything...weird. any answers to the paradrop problem? _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT
you need to take a look at the tutorials, do some searching, and do alot of stuff yer self, else you will never learn and become dependent on everyone else for the answers. Alot of people will help you but we are not gonna do it all for you. just fool around, read tutorials, and soon enough youll understand what does what, and what dosent QUICK_EDIT
ive read all kinds of tutorials, but they always refer to shit as the rules format names, and i dont know those. know of any where i can learn them? _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT
use up some of the civilian vehicles, let your mind go wild, add some weapons and different images, see what you can come up with. there is a site that lists the unused weapons and vehicles, Im thinking MadHQ has the list. try doing that. QUICK_EDIT
get yourself a rules.ini. You need what's inside. That's all the advice I can give TBH, you need the rules names because that's what the game reads. _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
i did, i downloaded two. i cant find the rules name for flak troopers, cant give prism tnaks AA qualities. random side note, i currently wana stab my obese huge roommate in the neck. Js _________________ aim : u no that 1 kid QUICK_EDIT

put this in the ini:
[LargeCometP]
AA=yes
now anything using that projectile will hit the air.... including rocketeers. Though if you want it to hit just rocketeers, then you need to make a Secondary weapon and make the warhead so it only hits rocketeers. this way the prim cannon from the ground is unchanged but can also shoot the air. QUICK_EDIT
you can't give the prism a secondary. The way it works with the turret and "reload" animation dictates it can only have one weapon... it's the only unit like this, except those which have spawned missiles (Dred, V3, boomer(yr)) _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
yea but if you change chargeturret to no the turret disappears from the tank, i mean it will work but the sref will lokk funny, unless you add a differnt turrent anim to it QUICK_EDIT
yea, i tried messing around with the sref before, by changing the ChargeTurret to =false it disappears and it already has Turret=yes by default. I cant remember if an alternate turret anim worked either, been awhile.. QUICK_EDIT
