Then you needed to say that you had no prior experience with modding, ffs.

 

Rulesmd.ini is found inside of ra2md.mix\localmd.mix, which you can open with XCC Mixer (part of XCC Utilities found here: http://xhp.xwis.net/ ). You can edit it with Notepad and then put it in the RA2 directory. Its changes apply to the entire game, not just specific maps.

 

Adding changes in FinalAlert 2 is a bit more tiresome. In the INI editor, you need to create a new section that should have the same internal name as an object or whatever it is you wish to edit (in this case PCV), and then create a key that has a variable and new value that you wish to place (in this case, CrateGoodie=no). This will apply only to that map.

Not necessarily, just open the saved map in Notepad, add

CrateGoodie=no

 

save file.

well i do have some experience, not alot of tech know how when it comes 2 technical terms, but i have been editing & makeing maps since ra 1. i did figure out how 2 insert the no yuri mcv command, although i didnt get how [PCV] GoodieCrate=no, refers 2 the yuri mcv, thats what i mean by no tech know how, once i read the categories & after ive read all the ini files, i saw the format & figure out {pcv} was a new key, & CrateGoodie=no is the value, similar 2 windows registry, which ive edited many times. so i understand adding new sections. i did try & find the added NO RUSH timer on the Tournament map, but i couldnt find it. could u pls tell me about ADDING a timer. & i already had the XXC Utilities & understand editing the rules.ini, but i dont understand how 1 file effects all maps when it comes 2 the amount of that crates appear & the contents. i seen ,maps that have like 200 + crates @ 1 time & another maps has 10 appear @ 1 time. can u explain. ty 4 ur help. im almost done. thx again keep up the good work

I'm not familiar with the no rush timer on the map you mention, but it is probably handled with map triggers. Triggers are somewhat complex and would take a long time to explain, but aren't that difficult to learn on your own though trial and error.

 

Crates are normally limited to 1 per human player, this is handled like so:

 

[CrateRules]

CrateMinimum=1

 

This minimum can be increased up to 255, although the map's crate spawns start getting pretty ridiculous at numbers as low as 10-20.
