FunkyFr3sh Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 spawn.xdp is rules.ini if you like to play in the new game lobby and spawnam.xdp is aftrmath.ini you can open them with notepad or any other text editor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolioshades Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Alright I've got everything you guys have said. Appreciate the help so much. One last thing, spawn.xdp is saying it cannot open because the file is not supported or it is damaged.. It only gives me the option to open it with adobe.. Any last pieces of advice?

Allen262 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Make a back up spawn.xdp and spawnAM.xdp than you can open the spawn.xdp and spawnAM.xdp with notepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyerguds Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Alright I've got everything you guys have said. Appreciate the help so much. One last thing, spawn.xdp is saying it cannot open because the file is not supported or it is damaged.. It only gives me the option to open it with adobe.. Any last pieces of advice? They already said it's an ini file. Just open it with Notepad. If you right click on the file you should get "open with..." in it, allowing you to choose the program manually. If not, you need to hold shift while right-clicking the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolioshades Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Alright I understand notepad and how to open a file. I'm not a neanderthal. It's just the file I have that is labeled "spawn.xdp" Will not open, the error report is as follows... "Adobe reader could not open "spawn.xdp" because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged" I also know how to use the "open with.." option, but that does not give me any other option than to open with adobe reader.

Allen262 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 There should be a choose program option. Use it to open the file with notepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Or just open notepad and drag the file into it. Or open Notepad, go to Open File, set the file type to *.*, and then open the file. Clearly, you do NOT "understand notepad and how to open a file." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimas Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi, 2 issues: - OS SHP builder is in 3.37 Beta version, but more interesting, they have a SVN folder, so it's useful to avoid editing the link for newer versions; - If you wanna try another notepad there is Scite, you might find it useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpet Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Do I just open a shp file with OS SHP editor to edit it (say, the spy) or do I do something else? Because it says some error. It's in the same folder as Red Alert and the OS SHP editor (the spy.shp) and I uninstalled it because it was useless. Are there any other tools for editing shps?

FunkyFr3sh Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 i just convert it to png with xcc and then i edit it with microsoft paint .. then just convert it back with xcc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 SHP Builder 3.37 is no longer a beta and is now more stable with Tib Dawn and Red Alert 1 .shp http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpet Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well, now I have a new problem. I can't place anything in the Mix files (even using XCC Mix Editor). Also, just to make sure, if I have Iran's PortableRA, and I have small infantry enabled, where should I put my edited spy.shp file? Inside the small infantry file?

FunkyFr3sh Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 extract the mix inside of the other mix, add the unit and then put the mix back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpet Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 XCC Editor says insert failed, or either doesn't let me delete the smallinfantry.mix or spy.shp and the cursor shows the spy.shp can't be placed in the smallinfantry.mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 did you extract the smallinfantry mix first ? run it as admin, close the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpet Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I was able to do it, thanks (needed to make an EXPAND mix tho) But for some reason the icons i made for the spy and Tanya crash the game when they are shown. What palette should i use for them in the SHP builder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 You need to use Red Alert 1 snow.pal or temperate.pal but if you are getting a crash it is likely that the icon size has been changed from the stock size of 64 x 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpet Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Changed my icons to snow/temperate. Still crashes (I put it in my expand.mix) and its correctly sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxOwlbear Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 The link to the homepage for the C&C95 editor is broken (page is down), but the Internet Archive still has a 2009 version of the website: https://web.archive.org/web/20091028194911/http://www.xs4all.nl/~jarit/ccmap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattAttack Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 heh heh... nobody uses ccmap anymore! these days it's all about the XCC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cn2mc Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yeah, and I believe we even need a new one, or at least some extended capabilities in one of the old ones. Lice copy/paste for templates, fixed trigger and teamtype syntax, smudges, etc. Oh well, I guess I shoud've strived to be a programmer after all... Nah.

MattAttack Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I was actually able to get in touch with that Olaf dude and emailed him a long-ass list of things which could use improving in XCC. Among the improvements was a request for a copy/paste/hex edit option. I'm not sure if he'll implement them, as I imagine TD is not high on the list of priorities, but he politely responded with some questions and didn't just blow me off.... (fingers crossed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messiah Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 heh heh... nobody uses ccmap anymore! these days it's all about the XCC! No, I clearly prefer CCWMAP since it doesn't crash so often and doesn't mess up my .ini file. ccwmap is easier to install and handle, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattAttack Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Have you downloaded xcc utilities recently? a lot of that stuff has been remedied. iirc the only thing messed up now is if you try to 'fill with water' in the desert theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
