Enabling mode maps

Hello!

A few years ago i saw many mods, including Deezire mod, and they have all types of mod maps(land rush, crate war, naval war,...)

How do i enable or add these?

Thanks!

You can add rules.ini code to a map and this way override rules.ini settings for this map only.
Play around with the added ini codes and you get your mod maps.

Those are game modes which are controlled by mpmodes(md).ini. It lists all the modes available in the game & the associated ini files (MPCoopMD.ini, MPUnholyMD.ini, MPNavalMD.ini, etc). These ini files can be used to override settings in the rules for that particular game mode & the maps used in it.

ModEnc has a page with more info.

Sorry for the delay.

Im having trouble adding the naval war, this is what i added in mpmodes.ini

[NavalWar]
9=GUI:NavalWar, STT:ModeNavalWar, MPNavalWar.ini, standard, true

Is there something else i have to edit?

I took the ini and pasted it in my RA2 directory.

Place it under the [Battle] section, all of the other ones are for LAN/online games.

That didnt work.

Is there something i need to edit in the code?

Go into missionsmd.pkt (open it with Notepad) and add 'standard' to any GameMode= tags that don't have it already. MissionsMD.pkt contains a list of all maps and that tag, as it says, defines what gamemodes the map is listed under.

Ok thanks I got the maps of the naval war, but i want the game modes to appear under the battle types list.

i.e:megawealth...

How is that doable?

In mpmodesmd.ini set

; ManBattle is battle between MEN! (i.e. no AI's or skirmish)
[ManBattle]
;5=GUI:Megawealth

here

[Battle]
;5=GUI:Megawealth
