I am sure he was referring to tibed. Not the game.

Works fine for me, on both red alert 2 and yuri's revenge.

That could be so many different things.

Disable your anti-virus, while you are using it. Mine did the same thing and that was the problem.

No, a big file is just a bunch of text .ini files. If they are installed then they should be big files already. The game wont understand anything else. Post a link to one of the mods you have and I will take a look at it.

Final big allows you to add in ini files for your own mod, if you got a mod from somewhere else and it is not already a big file I have no idea what it would be.

If you have your own ini files and want to make them into a big file then I sugest you use Finalbig. It will allow you to do just that.

Sounds like you downloaded a virus from somewhere. 1. Tibed would not set a key in your registry to reinstall itself every time you restart windows. 2. The C&C patch would never need to do a reboot to finish installation. Your computer only needs to reboot after you install something that has to add or change something in one of the windows dll files that is being used by windows. 3. The Zero hour patch is only at 1.03, 1.07 is the regular generals patch version. So I really think you have a virus somewhere that is masquerading as generals. As for the "error not handled", it happens sometimes. You would only need to restart tibed to fix it though. I think it happens when tibed doesnt access one of the ini files right and it doesnt recover from it. So a simple restart is required.

If you are useing tibed 2 to make the mod you have to click the "export mod" button. It will create a .big file in your mods folder.

BFME is still a little buggy when it comes to the mods.

Update ZH to 1.02 or later. Rank.ini was added after initial release.

You changed something that the game engine itself doesnt understand. It is very easy to do and extremely hard for us to tell you exactly what you did wrong. If you tried to make the game do something it cant you will get that error. It is a good Idea to only change a few things at a time, try the mod and see if you get that error. Then if it runs fine save and proceed in small increments of trial and error. That will help you get a better understanding of what you did wrong, but there is not really much we can help you with as far as fixing that mod since you change so many things. You have to start over.

Those are some pretty high "minimum" specs. 5.5 GB of disk space is way to high. Most people dont like to have to upgrade thier computer every 6 or so months just to play a game. It would get very expensive very quickly. Go and "donate" a video card to him if it is that important to you. Maybe he will think about it then.

That is what tibed does, just change stuff.

Dont waste board space by creating multiple topics with the same question.

An entire mod is extremely time consuming and difficult. Tibed allows you to alter some of the peramaters of units and other in game variables. Depending on what game you are tring to edit there are a bunch of tutorials on how tibed works.

You cant have non builder units build things. They have a completely different AI, if you try to change jamen kells then he wont be able to do other things, Either you are a builder or you are not.

i am not sure how to get a non builder unit to build something but I believe it is way more trouble than it is worth.

No problem.

Install the 1.02 patch, it adds in the rank.ini. You have to install the 1.07 patch for Generals first also.

Yeah for some reason the athlon 64's seem to be causing different problems for different people. Personally I have a problem with red alert 2 where the mini video's will freeze the game. I can only play on my laptop.

Tibed 2 doesn't have support for red alert 2 at all. I don't know if he is somehow going to import it, but that is the future. In order to edit Red Alert 2 you have to use Tibed 1.6 They are 2 seperate editors so they wont conflict with each other, unless of course you install them in the same directory you might have some problems. P.S. Just reinstall and and use the same key he gave you before. I believe your key will work with tibed 1.6 also.

Did you export them into a .big file properly? The mod seletctor only reads .big files

Is cloning completely gone in the beta series? I thought you were going to put it back in in beta 2. Or am I just a moron who doesnt know how to get it to work?

I am having the same problem. I have athlon 64 3200, 1GB pc3200, Geforce fx 5600 It seems like it is running the game to fast. I have noticed that some of the audio will cue up before the other has even stopped playing. I think that the proc is choking the graphics card with to much information to fast. Although Yuri's revenge plays absolutely fine, and if I scroll away from all of the action before a cut-scene plays it won't freeze on me, but there are those times when a cut-scene is at the end of the level and you can't sroll away even if you want to. I am still having problems with it, has anyone found a solution yet?
