#Ares Include Featuring UMP

Hogo · Last edited by Hogo on Mon May 09, 2011 12:28 am; edited 3 times in total

Just a quick one, I have been working on the UMP changes recently in my free time, the list of extra fixes that can be applied.

I have since used the Ares #include function to split up the rulesmd.ini file to make things easier to manage (Matter of opinion) I have set each [*****] Section as its own file but there is one exception

Sides & Country's Are in one file together to make things easier

I also Have yet to find a good place to put these so for now they are at the bottom of the rulesmd.ini file that includes all the file names. any suggestions are welcome as I will eventually release this as open source so if anyone wishes they can use them.

Just a note.
Removing completly all Units and Building sections out of rules.ini will prevent Final Alert or AI Editor from working.

Hehe, so you can split up the rules.ini into seperate ini files as in Gens? Nice feature Smile

I'm just doing some last checks to make sure everything works properly Smile

Then I will release this for anyone to use.

Yeah and I don't really see how it makes anything easier, or even more efficient. But hey that's just me.

Hey, Some people like organisation :p I personally hate the rulesmd file with a passion :p

Why not have the rulesini included and all the changfes will be overwritten once th loading goes to the next ini to load? This way, the only real change to the rules ini is the addition of the included tags and it won't harm FA.

EVA-251 · Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 11:49 pm Post subject:

I did this in SS, remerged it eventually for reasons I can't quite remember.

You can fix Final Alert by leaving dummy entries in rulesmd, like
[CASANF18]
Name=SF Apartment A
[CANEWY01]
Name=NY Apartment A
[CANEWY06]
Name=Wall Street Office
[CANEWY07]
Name=Wall Street Office (pointed roof)
[CANEWY08]
Name=Wall Street Office (stairstep)

Adding Image= where appropriate, like:
[E2]
Name=Conscript
Image=CONS

As a plus, it will allow you to give stuff custom names that appear only in Final Alert 2. It's a lot easier than seeing a wall of "Building"

This is good, can make my pc type "enter" less lag. But what about the original rulesmd.ini. How can you put the original into seperate parts?

IamInnocent: Ares allows you to include other inis to rulesmd, by listing them as include, IIRC.

Download Ares and read the manual. It's at Modding Enhancements, near the iterator character.

Pretty much I split every Bracket section into separate files, You have your separate files but you need to list what the new files are called you don't need to specify what is inside them.

Symphonic I completely agree, why do it all over again when I have it right here Wink

Took me a good 3 hours too xD

In the rules_buildingtypes.ini file. "DebrisAnims" was replaced with "DebrisAnimss", which I know is wrong.
I think it is accidentally happened with the change. Fixed the "DebrisAnim" Replaced with "DebrisAnims"
