rocketeer unit possible?

[atenzor]

I like the concept of the rocketeer unit from Red Alert 2 and was wondering if it is possible to mod and add that sort of unit into Red Alert 1? Would be very awesome!! Thanks and let me know.

I did somthing like that using the uncoded unit type logic but the game keeps sending Heli Troopers back to the Helipads to reload even if they have unlimited ammo.

I may still have the Heli Trooper hanging around.

Can you elaborate a little bit more about this heli troopers and what code did you use and how did you implement that. You have the files so I can download and test some things? thanks

He messed with the exe file directly to do that. aka, hacking

Are the heli troops actually troops. As I understand it, they're apache clones, with new graphics and edit weapons/hp/armor, etc, yeah?

Interesting... how do you do that exactly, if not a secret?

Iran expanded the unit set up to be more like TS so new units could be added but it is incomplate.

Yes. All new aircraft are stuck being AH64 or Hind clones.

You need one of the newer Iran updated RA95.exe. Than put this in to your rules.ini above ; ******* aircraft types ******* Also get the attached expand8.zip. Unzip it and put the expand8.mix into your game folder. It has the graphics for the Heli Trooper.

 

; ******* New Aircraft Type List *******
