Dustbunnies 0 Posted February 22, 2005 hey if u mess up the rules.ini folder how would u restore it or should u just make a copy also how do whats a soylent and how would u make a chrono legionnaire phase in faster :?: Share this post Link to post
Mario 0 Posted February 22, 2005 make a backup of the folder b4 messing with it Share this post Link to post
Wildshield 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Soylent is the sell back of a unit. Infantry is usually half of it's cost and vehicles are in full. The grinder is one way of getting cash back. Hint: Chrono Stuff Share this post Link to post
Mario 0 Posted February 22, 2005 thats true and if u want the fbi 2 stop watching u use ghostsurf 2005 it hides ur ip address and any personal info Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 23, 2005 Either that, or it tells the FBI who is using this "software" and hands out the info to them....or someone else :wink: Share this post Link to post
alleylee 0 Posted February 23, 2005 cut the fbi talk and back to stealth units... boomers are awesome... but i don't think they can match up to equal amount of dophines in price... Share this post Link to post
Dustbunnies 0 Posted February 23, 2005 this is what i put for the chrono stuff but i think i did something wrong correct it if u wanna help me ;*** Reinforcement/Chrono Stuff *** ChronoDelay=.1 ;delay after teleport for chrono sphere ChronoReinfDelay=.1 ;delay after teleport for chrono reinforcements ChronoDistanceFactor=.1 ;default = 32 amount to divide the distance to destination by to get the warped out delay ChronoTrigger=yes ;defualt=yes, if yes, then delay varies by distance, if no, it's a constant ChronoMinimumDelay=0 ;default=0;this is the minimum delay for teleporting, no matter how short the distance ;this value will also be used if the ChronoTrigger flag is turned off ChronoRangeMinimum=1 ;this can be used to set a small range within which the delay is constant ;the range is measured in leptons (256 per cell) within this range the delay will be set to the minimum ;a value of 32 for ChronoDistanceFactor gives a delay of eight frames for every cell traveled. ;256 leptons per pixel, so to get frames delay per cell use 256/ChronoDistanceFactor ;this is an inverse function, so larger number means shorter delay ;minimum value can be one (not zero!) which would result in 256 frames of delay per cell traveled Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted February 23, 2005 Read what ChronoTrigger=yes does. Then adjust the appropriate values. Share this post Link to post
hodahel 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Hey, there is stealth in RA2 open the rules.ini. go to the crate section, and change the percentage of each crate happening, and allow stealth crates. Hi, I can't find the "RULES.INI" in my RA2 folder..Is it created by the game or do I have to create it? Sorry for my ignorance.. :cry: Thanks. Share this post Link to post

hodahel 0 Posted February 23, 2005 XCC Utilities Get them, learn them, love them. You can extract the rules file using those tools. Thanks a lot.. One more question..I have extracted the RULES.INI file and made some tweaks on it..will I just leave it there in the same folder as RA2? or have to put it back where I extracted? Thanks again.. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted February 23, 2005 The /RA2/ folder is perfectly acceptable. Share this post Link to post
hodahel 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Now on editting the INI file.. Is this the portion I'll should edit? ; ******* Crate rules *******; General crate rules and controls are specified here. [CrateRules] CrateMaximum=255 ; crates can never exceed this quantity CrateMinimum=1 ; crates are normally one per human player but never below this number CrateRadius=3.0 ; radius (cells) for area effect crate powerup bonuses CrateRegen=3 ; average minutes between random powerup crate regeneration SilverCrate=HealBase ; solo play silver crate bonus SoloCrateMoney=5000 ; money to give for money crate in solo play missions UnitCrateType=none ; specifies specific unit type for unit type crate ['none' means pick randomly] WoodCrate=Money ; solo play wood crate bonus WaterCrate=Money ; solo play water crate bonus HealCrateSound=HealCrate ; heal crate sound effect WoodCrateImg=CRATE ; wood crate overlay image to use CrateImg=CRATE ; normal crate overlay image to use WaterCrateImg=WCRATE ; Water crate image FreeMCV=yes ; Give free MCV from crate if no buildings but still has money [multiplay only]? What particular entry I should change? Share this post Link to post

hodahel 0 Posted February 23, 2005 If you read past the semicolons, the notes explain everything you need to know. Just about everything you ever wanted to change is in that file. Yes, I've been doing that.. But I can't find any entry that SAY'S "STEALTH or NOT STEALTH" :shock: Wont you mind telling me where should I start? Thanks again.. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted February 23, 2005 Find [CrateRules]. That's where you should start. Share this post Link to post
hodahel 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Find [CrateRules]. That's where you should start. Ok I found it.. As what GeneralZ said.. go to the crate section, and change the percentage of each crate happening, I think his referring to this entry: CrateRegen=3 ;average minutes between random powerup crate regeneration My default is 3....I don't know if I'll change it to 0, 10 or what? and allow stealth crates How can I allow STEALTH crates? Replace WOOD with STEALTH? What? Please help.. Share this post Link to post
alleylee 0 Posted February 24, 2005 wow... i never worked with crates before... Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted February 24, 2005 Sorry, I was wrong on [CrateRules]. You should look for [Powerups]. [Powerups] Armor=10,ARMOR,yes,1.5 Firepower=10,FIREPOWR,yes,2.0 HealBase=10,HEALALL,yes Money=20,MONEY,yes,2000 Reveal=10,REVEAL,yes Speed=10,SPEED,yes,1.2 Veteran=20,VETERAN,yes,1 Unit=20,<none>,no Invulnerability=0,ARMOR,yes,1.0 IonStorm=0,<none>,yes Gas=0,<none>,yes,100 Tiberium=0,<none>,no Pod=0,<none>,no Cloak=0,CLOAK,yes Darkness=0,SHROUDX,yes Explosion=0,<none>,yes,500 ICBM=0,CHEMISLE,yes Napalm=0,<none>,no,600 Squad=0,<none>,no That's directly from my rulesmd file. It's unedited so nothing is different. For a bit of an explanation, the Tag= is obvious as to its purpose, the number defines the probability a powerup will occur (the values MUST be equal to 110 or the game WILL crash), the <none> or word indicates the animation to be played upon collecting the crate, the yes/no defines whether it's available on water and the fourth parameter vales should not be touched.

alleylee 0 Posted February 25, 2005 cool... i should try crate editing... Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 26, 2005 Yes you should, makes game interesting. SO easy too. Bommers are strong, if you look in the rule.ini their torps arent anything close to Typhoon torps, but boomers fire two, so I gues thats makes it alright. Still, in naval combat, two Typhoons will take out a boomer, and depending on who fires first, will determine if one or two Typhoons survive. Share this post Link to post
GeneralZ 0 Posted February 26, 2005 [Powerups] Armor=10,ARMOR,yes,1.5 Firepower=10,FIREPOWR,yes,2.0 HealBase=10,HEALALL,yes Money=20,MONEY,yes,2000 Reveal=10,REVEAL,yes Speed=10,SPEED,yes,1.2 Veteran=20,VETERAN,yes,1 Unit=20,<none>,no Invulnerability=0,ARMOR,yes,1.0 IonStorm=0,<none>,yes Gas=0,<none>,yes,100 Tiberium=0,<none>,no Pod=0,<none>,no Cloak=0,CLOAK,yes Darkness=0,SHROUDX,yes Explosion=0,<none>,yes,500 ICBM=0,CHEMISLE,yes Napalm=0,<none>,no,600 Squad=0,<none>,no The total value does not have to be 110. I've tried 100 and 200, and they still work 1st values is percentage. U see the numbers on the right add up to 110. Firepower is 10, so 10/110 chance u will get a increased firepower crate. its the value over the overall total value. 3rd value is enabled in crate, and last 1 is rate, like in how much to boost stats/time affected What I would change: [Powerups] Armor=0,ARMOR,yes,1.5 Firepower=0,FIREPOWR,yes,2.0 HealBase=10,HEALALL,yes Money=10,MONEY,yes,2000 Reveal=20,REVEAL,yes Speed=0,SPEED,yes,1.2 Veteran=10,VETERAN,yes,1 Unit=10,<none>,no Invulnerability=0,ARMOR,yes,1.0 IonStorm=0,<none>,yes Gas=0,<none>,yes,100 Tiberium=0,<none>,no Pod=0,<none>,no Cloak=100,CLOAK,yes Darkness=0,SHROUDX,yes Explosion=0,<none>,yes,500 ICBM=20,CHEMISLE,yes Napalm=0,<none>,yes,600 Squad=20,<none>,yes Total is out of 200. Cloak is 100 out of 200, so 50% chance Share this post Link to post
