While make my (sucky)mod I came across a problem:
only one Infantry type will show up in the build menu(ie: mutant soldier when I wanted to Sodlier,Segernt,and bazooka,and engineer

But I did get the following up and working:
Ref
Barracks
Weapons Factory
(though no silo even though It has properties and all that other what not)

Congrats for getting it to work.. it's not exactly easy. Well to give u a few tips on making new sides..

Double check everything. It's easy to forget a simple thing like owner, prerequisite and techlevel of an object.

Don't just test your mod playing as the new side; check GDI and Nod as well, on all techlevels. It's quite a big chance that you'll mess up the existing sides in the process. TS doesn't fully support adding new sides...

Make sure that under the Country Statistics, your [NEWSIDE] has Side=Nod or GDI. This way, the AI players will thread you like GDI or Nod, and general AI triggers will be enabled. If you don't understand, don't worry, just do as i tell you.

It's actually quite good, just be sure to use INTERPUNCTION (looks at *certain* people here on PPM and TumSun forums...)

and as for the side= i never did that so my side= it
side=Mutants(thats the name)

Edit: I did put side=GDI and it f*cked up nod
so i just put it back to mutant

I just got Tibed like half way though my mod.
How would I get all the stuff I did normally into tibed?

noooo! Not TibEd! You don't want it.

Please don't make us explain why TibEd is bad for the hundredth time.

It's bast to just stick with text editors.

Edit: Some of the problems are described in this thread.

yeah, I had some n00b working with tibed asking me how to do certain stuff in Ra2, when I told him to use wordpad to open up art.ini he started cussing me out and shit. worse than that, he called me a n00b for not using tibed (later, he also called me a n00b for not using frontpage on my site).

Then as stupid as this guy is, he messes with the original mix files, and for some he-won't-tell-me reason he can't reinstall, so he wants me to send him the mix files... sad story, just don't use tibed (or frontpage for that matter)

I made the mistake of using TibEd.
I had to go through the ini's and fix up the mess it made.
