[RA1] new balance mod

[Furry Fox]

Hi ! I did a little mod on RA1 which changes the balance and gameplay, making it similar to the TD gameplay. But I need help how to optimize\to apply the mod to this version of the game. As far  I remember Cncnet 5 no longer uses ini files, also there is a problem with the icon for a single unit. who understands all this please tell me what to do next ? How to apply the mod to the game and how to get the icon for the unit ?

mplayer.ini is not supported, but you could merge it with aftrmath.ini (spawnam)

 

attached the files

Thank you ! Everything works. Now, to play this mod online i need to place these files in the game directory or need to do something else ? And what program is needed to edit and create files XDP format ?

[FunkyFr3sh]

yes, just place it in the game folder and it will work on cncnet skirmish/lan/online, the other players need to have the files too, else they cannot join

 

I only renamed them, it is still a text file and you can open it with any text editor

OK. Is it possible to combine  mod with the map ? I've seen the ability to edit Rules in the map editor. But there is only the Rules file, and my mod contains files Aftermath and file for icon . Can all three mod files  connect to a map that other players do not have to download and replace the game files on modified ?

Mods using custom icons cannot be used that way, everyone needs to download your mod

 

Plain rules mods can be placed inside of maps, just make sure you only add the lines you modified and not the whole rules.ini file
