Hello, I read Upgrades system on http://www.modenc.renegadeprojects.com/Upgrades but I cannot understand it, because I never Tiberian Sun. Please give me some simple Tutorials about it. Thanks.

In Tiberian Sun GDI had a new system unique to them. The Upgrade System allows you to add certain upgrades to certain buildings.

For example, The GDI Turbine Power Plant. You could upgrade it for a total 3 Times to increase Power for every turbine installed.

Another example is the Component Towers. On its own, the Component Tower is basically a more expensive Wall that you can repair.

You could upgrade the Component Tower to one of 3 Types. A Machine Gun, Anti-Air Rockets & a Cannon.

In Red Alert 2, the Upgrades are still usable but are unused. You can apply the following effects:

Superweapons = These are the various random abilities you acquire from Structures.

Examples: Paradrop,Spy Plane,Psychic Reveal,Lightning Storm,etc.

Weapons = This should be obvious enough...

*As stated in ModEnc you cannot combine Superweapons & Weapons, Giving power however works.

Remember to note that a building is only limited to 2 Superweapons.

So that means I can add the ability only for my building, or I must also add some kind of "gadget" to it?

Yes you can provide unique upgrades to that building only.

Examples:

Component Tower (On its own its a useless 1x1 Building) but if you put in one of its upgrades (Gun,Rocket,Cannon) it turns into a defense building.

GDI Power Turbine

You can purchase Turbines which increase power output of the powerplant further. (For a more advanced example... Check out how USA in Generals can increase power)
