Agnious Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hello all! I am trying to edit the rulesmd.ini to create a new kind of paradrop which is available from airports called a tactical paradrop. It does not replace the AmerParaDropSpecial or the ParaDropSpecial. I want to create a new kind of paradrop altogether. Is this possible in the original game without mods? Is it possible for this paradrop to be different based on the side you play? Eg: Allies drop a seal, a sniper and a spy, soviets drop a desolator and terrorists, yuri drops psi commandos / brutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGT_ZURU Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 This is what I use for my Custom Maps. [General] AmerParaDropInf=E1,E1,ENGINEER AmerParaDropNum=8,8,2 AllyParaDropInf=E1,E1,ENGINEER AllyParaDropNum=6,6,2 SovParaDropInf=E2,E2,ENGINEER SovParaDropNum=9,9,2 YuriParaDropInf=INIT,INIT,ENGINEER YuriParaDropNum=6,6,2 This translates to: America Para-Drop = 8 GI, 8 GI, 2 Engineer Allied Para-Drop (Captured Airfield) = 6 GI, 6 GI, 2 Engineer Soviet Para-Drop (Captured Airfield) = 9 Conscript, 9 Conscript, 2 Engineer Yuri Para-Drop (Captured Airfield) = 6 Initiate, 6 Initiate, 2 Engineer With respect, what I use is powerful enough assuming all 3 Planes make it to the Drop-Zone. I would highly recommend not using things like Tier 2 and Tier 3 Units, especially since the game has to guess where the Chute is. It can look scruffy on abnormally larger units sometimes. If you insist on using those units, then I will provide the ID's of them (Listed bellow in order that you wrote in your message). GHOST, SNIPE, SPY DESO, TERROR PTROOP, BRUTE Comment: "MAD TANK DEPLOYED" Multiple Commas equals more Planes. So if I want 5 Planes, I would put something like: [General] AmerParaDropInf=E1,E1,E1,E1,ENGINEER AmerParaDropNum=8,8,8,8,2 AllyParaDropInf=E1,E1,E1,E1,ENGINEER AllyParaDropNum=6,6,6,6,2 SovParaDropInf=E2,E2,E2,E2,ENGINEER SovParaDropNum=9,9,9,9,2 YuriParaDropInf=INIT,INIT,INIT,INIT,ENGINEER YuriParaDropNum=6,6,6,6,2 Obviously, I wouldn't do this since most players wouldn't cope with that coming from the skies into their base. Though taking down the Planes can be easy, if you have an 8 Player Map going 1 VS 7, and those 7 drop Para's on you... Let's just say 3 Planes per Player is bad enough, 5 Planes 7 times would flatten your base (Debris alone). I might actually try this just to see what it takes, and how much strain on CPU's this could create. Hahahahahahaha, that sounds crazy as I'm writing it.
