Wuastbrot Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hello, im currently trying build my own mod but i cant get any changes into my game as long as i start with the cnc net launcher. I've tried replacing the spawner.xdp with the rules.ini including changing the name but i cant find the MainClient.ini in my Resources folder. Do i need a custom .exe file? I feel like theres a simple solution im missing I would appreciate some help if anyone knows the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YosefAnan Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 what kind of mode you mean? If you want to make mode like change the unit weapon or make it stronger or give it some features you don't need edit files.. just add that change in the same map you make.. watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc_Pw7IX25Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMlqaPQTtZY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wuastbrot Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hello again. Ive made a lot of changes to the game for certain maps already and so far im really happy with it. Unfortunately i found out that i cant add cameos for single maps only. Is there a way for me to add cameos to the game after the "art.ini" doest exist like that anymore? Ive tried working with the spawner.xdp but i didnt find a way to change art that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPwny Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 you can only edit the rules.ini flags in a map. not art.ini, not AI.ini, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuastbrot Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 yes but how do i change the game itself, not just single maps? its only for skirmish and LAN, isnt there a simple way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPwny Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 OH. start by getting XCC utilities and use XCC mixer, it will let you open the archives of the game and also view the contents in them. conveinently enough anything you "extract" and put into the ra2 directory takes precidence over default files in the .MIX archives so its fairly easy. test it out with rules.ini from local.mix inside of ra2.mix or if its yuris revenge rulesmd.ini inside of localmd.mix inside of ra2md.mix. it may sound complex but once you lay eyes on it you will understand just how stupidly easy it is to mod ra2. im not sure about LAN though you may need to copy the mod on both computers or make a modded map or somthing to get that to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuastbrot Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 alright, thats something i can work with. thx man ill try it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuastbrot Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hey, sorry for another question but theres one problem i have. If i extract .mix files like the cameo.mix in the RA2 directory it automatically has a higher priority just like you told me and it works fine. But if i extract rulesmd.ini, changing it only works if i start the game with origin instead of cnc net. Some help would be cool since i really dont know how to solve this. And since im asking already, theres another minor problem i managed to work around though. i used XCC Mix Editor to insert the new files into cameo.mix since XCC Mixer wont let me copy images INTO a .mix file, even though in a tutorial and the guide it seems to work. Thats not that important right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPwny Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 individual files will work from a directory. maps files, cameo files, ini files, animation files, whatever. if you want to save directory space and compile your own mix or edit one you have to use XCC Mix editor, xcc mixer is just for extracting/viewing stuff. now i never play multiplayer but one would think cnc net just plain wouldent be able to work like that if not everyone is using the same set of files, hence the modding maps to play a mod since the mod itself is the shared file of the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuastbrot Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 alright i got it now. i forgot to rename the rulesmd.ini to spawner.xdp. After i did, it worked perfectly fine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
