this could be useful for a lot of people

newbies could have something a bit more understandable

and experienced ini coders could work faster with this

Sorry, dude... I'm not having free time to check these things. I'm desesperate to finish a homework that I have to present the class today... and it's 40% of my final grade in the animation subject. In short, if I miss this work, I loose the subject.

i had to do it becasue when you edit the EXE to change things, the game automaticly goes to TS and you can not choose, so i had to combine them. aswell as art.ini and artfs.ini.....

>banshee : i understand...damned homework
>tshyper : never knew that.....hmm i'm going to do that anyhow as my mod will have the fs graphics and stuff
this won't require fs then

I went and copied FS stuff to TS and it caused a crash, which is a slight pain. Anyway, TSHyper's right, this has gone a bit off-topic.

I personally don't think the rules.ini need that much organisation to it, although I change the unit order according to tech level.

true but sometime you keep scrolling around

like from unit->weapon->warhead->projectile->unit->voxel debris->voxel debris list(pointers)

that takes a lot of time.
now stuff is grouped together

i have not looked all the way though but maybe put things in the Sides like GDI then NOD then Civillians and so on and put a little bit if text up top saying where it is.

Judeau · Commander **Joined**: 28 Feb 2004

errrr it already has that

an index( sorta, it gives the order of stuff )
all vehicles/inf/buildings/aircraft have been grouped by side and importance/tech
