Thanks for the help, I also probably should have mentioned that I'm trying to edit these things to make the campaign a little more fun. That way you probably could have told me that the missions have their own set rules that are unaffected by modifications to the rules.ini file (which I have now learned) Turns out the modifications I made were all having an effect exactly as they were intended, just in skirmish- not the missions. Perhaps you could set me on the right track by suggesting a way to directly edit the rules of the missions themselves (if that is even possible)

That makes sense. But what about AtomDamage? Am I correct in assuming that does what it says?

So far all I've done is change this line: AtomDamage=0 ; damage points when nuclear bomb explodes (regardless of source) and as a test I change the name of the missile silo by editing this one: ; Soviet Nuclear Missile [NAMISL] UIName=Name:NAMISL Name=Impotent Launcher but the name change doesn't show up, leading me to believe that the changes aren't working.

So then am I not putting my Rules.ini in the right place (the main game directory)?

Okay, so I did everything in order this time, disabled origin in-game and installed the fixed launchers, however the game is still trying to load up through origin.

Ah. Thanks for pointing that part out. See, The mistake I now realize I made was I thought you were to disable origin in game by installing the fixed launchers, not that you had to first disable Origin in-game, then install them. Thanks again for your help; I'll try to think outside the box in the future, lol.

Sorry, I'm really new to this, so I think I used a term I don't understand. To backtrack a bit, my end goal is to be able to modify the ini files and have changes actually occur upon loading up the game. I've always had issues with mind control and superweapons so I figured, in order to have more personal enjoyment playing through the campaigns of Red Alert 2 and YR, that I would modify these files myself. Unfortunately, none of my changes have been taking effect, and from the research I on the issue did; the closest thing to an answer I found was that Origin was the issue. Is that conclusion incorrect?

Hi, I know there's a plethora of threads that involve this problem but unfortunately none have them have helped me with my specific issue. I'm attempting to override the launch parameters for Red Alert 2 on Origin using Bibber's fixed launchers, however; it is not working and I'm having a lot of difficulty understanding why. Perhaps one of you fine veterans can guide me through this so I might figure out what it is I'm doing wrong?
