Editing C&C95.exe (Unit cost, build time build level etc)

[Markus]

Hello guyz i wish to make CnC more of a challenge in the capaign (replaying it is a bit too easy)both Tibed and CnCgold editor corrupt the C&C95.exe

[Tore]

If you want to mod unit stats in C&C95 you need to run TibEd in English mode and set everything to English. That should fix it corrupting C&C95.exe, it's a bug in TibEd.

I did, is not working, i'm using Nyer 1.06rev 3

Tibed shows the current stats for an harverster

the buildcost is -1017553313 obviously it's corrupted

btw can Settings.ini be used? Changes don't apply for me ingame

[FunkyFr3sh]

you could also modify the mission files instead of hacking around with the binary

 

maybe you can even package it up and share it with other users afterwards

[cn2mc]

You can't mod units with .ini (yet).

[Nyerguds]

Interesting... might explain why tibed apparently messes up some stuff. I'll have to check if I actually changed anything in the unit constructors.

 

For reference, here are the ACTUAL stats from the exe: (you can check 'em all out here, but only the music one actually works in the game as ini file)

(the reason TibEd shows more entries (49 vs 46) is because it interprets the memory definition and actual function call for creating the unit as "unknown data")

 

cn2mc: no, but TibEd's UI can only interpret ini data, so the way it works is by reading the exe data into ini format, letting the UI handle that, and then saving the resulting ini back into the exe.

[Markus]

I fixed it a while ago. My primary system language was set to japanese(to run  jap games) applocal don't work diff story anyway changing primary language back to dutch(Windows 7) and reinstalling Tibed solved the ini corruption. I think Tibed has a character set encoding that's not compatible with charsets that need unicode formats to work. the other person experiencing crashes might alsouse a different primary system language that needs unicode like UTF-8

[Nyerguds]

Oh, wow. TibEd has trouble with text encoding? That's good to know...

 

You can't really go wrong with Dutch; the creator of TibEd is Dutch
