Blast Damage can be set in the Warhead settings for each weapon, but it is worth noting that it gets overpowered really fast. I've toyed with this in my own RA 2 pet mod years ago, and with 2 Blast Radius - two tiles - the Apocalypse could destroy a Concrete Armor building with 16k health with a single salvo... xD I don't remember if the Apocalypse was Elite or not, though... likely Elite since I increased blast radius for elite vehicles. But still... 2×400 with 2 Blast Radius can kill a 16k health structure in one hit with overkill to spare. Only Tech Outpost which I gave 50k Health or so and Concrete armor could tank one salvo from it with some health to spare -.-
Exploding units/structures can be done with death anim, but it's kinda annoying since it punishes a mistake too much.
Also, note that units aren't really to scale at all, nor is building height, so it's not too difficult to imagine a single infantry to be like a squad. (Also, Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 engines do not allow squad logic)
TI is doing a good job at keeping things balanced, and that's partly because they avoid touching the things that get OP fast. _________________ Tales of War QUICK_EDIT

A build Que so that you can select a series of units and buildings to build and it will do it as soon as the next one is finished.
Build queue is only supported for infantry and vehicles. It isn't supported for buildings, engine wise.
As far as I remember, TI already has set the build queue to 30.
adamstrange wrote:
Would be cool if you can have multiple factories building different units at the same time.
Once again - engine limitation. Only four different types are supported - infantry, vehicles, aircraft and buildings. I may be mistaken, but as far as I know it is impossible to get another seperated vehicle list, for example. Even if it would be labeled Naval, it would still build as vehicle and thus blocking other vehicle production
adamstrange wrote:
I don't know if the engine supports this but infantry squads would be cool.
From what I remember the same problem - it simply is not supported. You can only build one unit at a time, not multiple. While it would be possible to modify a unit making it look like a squad, it wouldn't loose firepower or units when damaged. . . _________________
So, yeah, I've created a new acc. 'cause no one could remember Ordosherrscher - and I didn't like that name anyway. QUICK_EDIT
Explosion damage on destroyed units is rather bad.
As mentioned by Vulture, it can unbalance things very quick (e.g. players rather send 3-4 units into their suicide death into the enemy army, than using 8-15 units to attack in the normal way)
However, TI has already a few units which deliberately do area damage when they are destroyed. (e.g. the Nod Demolition Drone). Giving this logic to many regular units, would make such special units useless and not special anymore.
There is no logic in the TS engine to create something like radiation.
Workarounds are possible, but they would likely cause lags since they involve many animations. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Also how do I go about just changing the starting money ?
you can't. TI uses the Launcher and not the ingame lobby. The launcher is a separate program, which doesn't read rules.ini and has these settings hardcoded.
Though 50000 is quite bad anyway as this takes away every fun from the game. Just mass unit production and instant tank rush.
In addition do tiberium fields regenerate much faster in TI than TS, so even 2 refineries can harvest from the same field without depleting it. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
[...] separate program, which doesn't read rules.ini and has these settings hardcoded.
Thats a rather bad way to put it. It can be interpreted as though the rules.ini would never be read (well, I did anyway).
@adamstrange:
You can instead do one of the following changes:
add cost=0.5 (or whatever) under
[Nod] and [GDI]. This will reduce all costs by half. (Tiberium will be the same, actively granted the double amount)
Another way would be to increase the value of tiberium - this one does not give more money at the very beginning before harvesting, though _________________
So, yeah, I've created a new acc. 'cause no one could remember Ordosherrscher - and I didn't like that name anyway. QUICK_EDIT
[...] separate program, which doesn't read rules.ini and has these settings hardcoded.
Thats a rather bad way to put it. It can be interpreted as though the rules.ini would never be read (well, I did anyway).
In rules.ini stands only MaxMoney=10000
the launcher however has to offer many fixed values like
3000
5000
7000
9000
10000
15000
20000
So either the launcher has these set, or it has to calculate them.
But to calculate them it has
a) to find rules.ini. There are many places, even inside mix files where it can be. Thus a lot to code for Rampastring just for this tiny thing
b) if the launcher has finally found rules.ini, it has to offer a good selection of values, which it has to calculate just from this one value (such a calculated selection can be quite bad, so a modder chosen list of values is surely better) _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Nono, you misunderstand me. I mean that, when I first read it, it sounded like the rules.ini wouldn't be read at all, meaning, changing the rules.ini wouldn't change anything in the game while it does. After all, as you said, the launcher and the game are two seperate programms.
Its just that I imagine, that someone not knowing it could easily mistake your statement for the rules.ini having no effect at all _________________
So, yeah, I've created a new acc. 'cause no one could remember Ordosherrscher - and I didn't like that name anyway. QUICK_EDIT
Well another thing I would like to see if possible is the ability to had my own custom colors at the start menu.
In Generals and and I think those following in the series you can have a huge selection of custom colors in the menu.
I like the ability to have lets say 30 custom colors of 7.
This means that if you pick, lets say, a BlueGrey for one side and Orange Red for the other, you can have a skirmish match of 1 vs 7 where the first side's team color is BlueGrey and all the 7 armies against you are Orange Red. QUICK_EDIT
You can already give all AIs the same color. All human players need to have different colors however; the Tiberian Sun engine uses colors for internal sorting of the players so it's impossible for two or more human players to share the same color. It is possible to extend the color list though, but currently I have no plans of doing that. _________________ CnCNet Client | CnCNet TS patches | More Quality-of-Life Improvements for RA Remastered
I was able to rescale most of the units in ZR so that the soldiers were much smaller than everything else
I don't know how it's done in ZH, but the TS engine has no automatic scaling logic. You can re-scale units, but you have to do that manually by editing the files that contain the graphics. In other words, it's a lot of work. _________________ CnCNet Client | CnCNet TS patches | More Quality-of-Life Improvements for RA Remastered
In zero hour there is from what I remember 2 or 3 small lines of simple code.
You would add something like 1.5 at the bottom of the units code to make it one and a half times bigger or something like this.
Rampastein, I tried editing a map but when I save it, it does not show up in the menu.
I know that there is a read-me file in the custom folder saying to put user map in that folder but there is no "custom mode" in the game menu to select it.
The file has to have a .MAP extension but the editor only spits out .MPR file format or something like that.
I tried changing the extension to .MAP, placed it in the other folders and even went as far as taking a default map,opening it, then without editing just saving with a number behind the name so as to not overwrite the original in the DEFAULT folder and it still won't show up. QUICK_EDIT
I know that there is a read-me file in the custom folder saying to put user map in that folder but there is no "custom mode" in the game menu to select it.
but there is no "custom mode" in the game menu to select it.
The launcher shows this only if you actually have a map inside the folder.
Once you have inserted a map into the custom folder, you also have to restart the launcher, so it now notices the new file. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Why are there structures on maps like the Stationary Gun Battery and other weapons that you can send engineers to capture them but you can't sell them, you can't use them to target the enemy and I have yet to see them fire or be of any use. QUICK_EDIT
There can only be one construction yard which undeploys into one specific unit. This has to be the same for all factions, therefor.

Do you think its possible to set up the mod like this ?
I know that in the game earth 2150, someone made a mod and one of the mod's feature was that from the menu you could pick the sides to battle and then select OBSERVER and watch the entire game from start to finish.
Also if the engineers can go capture structures whats to stop the engine from allowing troops to garrison buildings ?
I don't know if I had mentioned it but if the game had been made the way this mod is, sales may have been triple what they were.

adamstrange wrote:

The fact that garrisoning buildings is simply a completely different logic. Capturing structure -> engineer enters structure, structure's side is swapped and engineer dies. Garrison -> infantry enters structure, structure's side is swapped, and the unit is "kept alive" (as in its data is stored in memory) while the structure is given a weapon. _________________ CnCNet Client | CnCNet TS patches | More Quality-of-Life Improvements for RA Remastered

DTA 1.13 will allow you to select spectator as your faction and since it'll share the same client, so will versions of TI released after that.
adamstrange wrote:

The building capturing logic (which simply changes the owner of a structure to another one) is very different from the building garrison logic (which allows infantry to become "passengers" of the structure and then fire out of it; a logic that doesn't even exist for vehicles in TS, let alone structures).
So what's stopping the engine from allowing this is the same thing that's stopping you from eating an apple that doesn't exist.

I play on a 27" monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 px as well, but I'm already used to the size of the units (not to mention that I mainly play DTA, which has even smaller units).

Not possible.

I put a few on a map and when I would pass a few infantry over it nothing happened.

VHM spawns veins (which damage vehicles when they move over them) and it creates gas clouds when attacked.
For the VHM to work correct, it needs to be placed via the Special Overlay\Veinhole Monster option (not as single overlay) and a few Veins need to be placed around it.
In addition does the center cell need to be lowered by one height level. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Would be cool if there were a new creature added maybe in a update, The Tiberium Graboid a tremors like creature that comes out of a VeinHole to swallow several troops and can destroy even vehicles instantly.

Anyone of you guys know where I can download the random map generator ?
I've looked for it on Google but can't find it. QUICK_EDIT
random map generator is included in the original TS but disabled in TI since it won't work with the additions (IIRC) and/or causes some problems.
Regarding that creature: Well, I guess you could do something which is restricted to walk on Tiberium Veins - but why would you? Additionally I am not even sure if it were to work. All in all, I don't think that such a creature would be making any sense at all ... _________________
So, yeah, I've created a new acc. 'cause no one could remember Ordosherrscher - and I didn't like that name anyway. QUICK_EDIT
The random map generator is part of Tiberian Sun and aside from the fact it can't be accessed via the client, it doesn't work for mods where a lot of changes have been made to the terrain. So even if you would figure out how to access the hidden Random Map Generator, it wouldn't work.
In vanilla TS you can access it via the ingame map selection menu however. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
The maps from the random map generator in Tiberian Sun in Tiberian Sun are not as random as you might think. (In YR/RA2 they appear to be, however.) If you set the settings to X, and leave X unchanged, the resulting map will always be the same. I still remember that from when I toyed around with that editor.
If little to no original TS terrain has been deleted, it should be possible to keep the temperate maps from the map editor in the game. Snow maps are a different matter for obvious reasons, and I doubt Lifeforms would work without fixing its coding...

Isn't it possible to make a base defence that uses a similar logic to the EMP tank in Firestorm, or the Mammoth MK II in TI?
If you click and "deploy" instead of EMP, it fires off a warhead that deals negative damage to everything around it (healing), and warhead effectiveness is set to 0% for non-infantry units.
It doesn't look entirely impossible if you ask me, even if the healing won't be automatic like AttachEffect animations do in Mental Omega and other Yuri's Revenge mods that use Ares - a player needs to do hit the healing button himself. QUICK_EDIT

Only 1 deploy weapon on a unit possible and that is the emp on the MKII.
deploy weapons also only work on vehicletypes, not on buildingtypes
So the only way for a building would be one that
a) constantly creates the area heal effect
or
b) needs to be force fired on your own units (but would auto-fire on enemy units)
So too many negative sideeffects imo.
In addition are on several maps GT hospitals which heal infantry quite similar, by just sending them into the building.
Each side could of course get a buildable hospital, but that would be quite unbalancing imo.
In addition are many infantry in TI able to selfheal (when elite) or tiberium heal and
GDI has the medic and Nod the very strong cyborgs.
So another thing to make infantry heal would be redundant or unbalancing. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
I never said it would be healthy for balance, and I don't think it should be added into the game at all.
It was more that I thought it was possible to code a healing building without too many side-effects. _________________ Tales of War QUICK_EDIT
nah, don't worry. I also explained it more elaborate for adamstrange, since several of his ideas seem to miss the point of making the mod unbalanced.

Yes I've seen this but there has to be another one that works because I have made some simple changes but the game doesn't recognize them. I tried to change the starting money and the colors and when I start the game nothing happens.
Someone I think posted that it has to be in a .MIX file for it to work but I'm not sure so can you tell me as to how I can remod this mod ?
This of cause is purely for personnel play not to be released.

Yes I've seen this but there has to be another one that works because I have made some simple changes but the game doesn't recognize them. I tried to change the starting money and the colors and when I start the game nothing happens.
The map editor was made for vanilla TS which had previews saved inside the map as some strange encrypted format.
TI uses real PNG files which are stored next to the map in the same folder.
The client uses these high res images instead of the crappy in-map-preview format.
So you have to create a preview yourself and save it as PNG next to the map.
The create preview functions aren't working/used anymore by TI, and it might be a good idea to disable that dialog entirely in future.
Also check how the other TI maps are done. This can answer many questions too. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
I love the GlobalTech Radar Array and I can't find the line of code like in the other C&C games where you can remove the black shroud so what I did was to increase the sight range to 500000 so it would remove the shroud but when I capture it, it doesn't work.
How can I remove the shroud like in the other games or at least give this ability to the Radar Array ? QUICK_EDIT
Sight= has a max value of 10; any higher value than that will just revert back to 10 ingame.
The only way to get a structure to reveal the entire map when captured is with a map trigger, but the map trigger will then reveal the shroud for all players in the game, no matter which player captured the structure and there's no way to fix this. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
