I was thinking of making a unit that's invisible, and has maximum site. Not sure if it'd work.

No, hellfire, it wouldn't... The maximum sight is about 10 I think... Units can't see farther than that.

As for your idea, ace... This structure would have to be specific to one map, or a couple maps... Basicly, if you're familiar with triggers in maps, you could make a multiplayer map that has a trigger that basicly says:

When _ structure is built > Reveal all map

the _ structure being your "spy sat"...

The maximum sight number is around 10 or 12. This method doesn't work, I've tried it, but with a building. I think the SpySat is a superweapon in RA and RA2, checking an original RA1 rules.ini may help.

In RA it was a superweapon that you had to wait for it to charge... If you lost the structure that controls it the whole map would be re-shrouded... in RA2 however, you just build the structure and it reveals the whole map. Then when the structure blows up, the map is reshrouded...

I've checked a RA1 rules.ini and I've found nothing. Only this at the projectiles:
; Allied free radar (GPS satellite)
[GPSSatellite]
Gigundo=yes
High=yes
Image=SPUTNIK
Frames=4

But nothing is connected to this projectile in rules.ini. I think it's hard coded in the exe file like C&C95, everything was coded in the c&c95.exe.

EDIT:
I've also checked the RA2 rules.ini. It has an own tag: SpySat=yes but it doesn't work in TS. Adding theese tags: Reveal=yes, FreeRadar=yes don't work too. Right now I've no more ideas.

TD (C&C95) had the settings.ini (sp?)

Nope, in TD(Dos) you had to extract game.dat from general.mix and after that you could edit it with an editor. In TD(Win95) there was an editor that could edit the c&c95.exe. I have not heard about settings.ini and I could not find it in any mix file.

It's impossible without making it map-specific. Sorry.

it's not in any of the files like the rules.ini of the other games is.

The problem is that I forgot how I got the copy that I have...

BTW does somebody know how to get C&C95 working on WinXP? I always get an application error message.

if it did, you could make it reveal the map by a huge chain reaction of airburst weapons (all of them equiped with camera), but you would need so many units to store them #Tongue
