I will post the INI crate rules section...

 

******* Crate rules *******

; General crate rules and controls are specified here.

CrateRadius=5.0 ; 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]

; ******* Random Crate Powerups *******

; This specifies the chance for the specified crate powerup to appear

; in a 'random' crate. The chance is expressed in the form of 'shares'

; out of the total shares specified.

;

; The second parameter is the animation to use when this crate is picked up.

;

; The third parameter specifies whether this crate is available over water.

;

; The fourth parameter, if present, specifies

; the data value needed for that crate powerup. They mean different things

; for the different powerups.

[Powerups]

Armor=10,ARMOR,yes,1.5 ; armor of nearby objects increased (armor multiplier);gs Think of max strength being multiplied by this (in reality, damage is divided by this since you can't change the max in Type)

Firepower=10,FIREPOWR,yes,1.5 ; firepower of nearby objects increased (firepower multiplier)

HealBase=10,HEALALL,yes ; all buildings to full strength

Money=10,MONEY,yes,5000 ; a chunk o' cash (maximum cash)

Reveal=5,REVEAL,yes ; reveal entire radar map

Speed=10,SPEED,yes,1.5 ; speed of nearby objects increased (speed multiplier)

Veteran=20,VETERAN,yes,1 ; veteran upgrade (levels to upgrade)

Unit=30,<none>,no ; vehicle

Invulnerability=0,ARMOR,yes,1.0 ; invulnerability (duration in minutes)

IonStorm=0,<none>,yes ; initiate ion storm

Gas=0,<none>,yes,100 ; tiberium gas (damage for each gas cloud)

Tiberium=0,<none>,no ; tiberium patch

Pod=0,<none>,no ; drop pod special

Cloak=0,CLOAK,yes ; enable cloaking on nearby objects

Darkness=0,SHROUDX,yes ; cloak entire radar map

Explosion=0,<none>,yes,500 ; high explosive baddie (damage per explosion)

ICBM=1,CHEMISLE,yes ; nuke missile one time shot

Napalm=0,<none>,no,600 ; fire explosion baddie (damage)

Squad=0,<none>,no ; squad of random infantry

 

 

> > For Squad and Unit will be the any unit who has crate goodie as yes. Pod, Ionstorm, Invulnerability, and Gas which are listed seem to have no effect or nobody knows what the effect does. Darkness will even effect those who have a spysat.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

As explained before, Squad is obsolete and has no effect. It's residual from Red Alert.

 

Pod, IonStorm, Gas and Invulnerability are also obsolete crates. Pod, IonStorm and Gas are residual from Tiberian Sun and Invul is residual from Red Alert. By attaching special animations to the crates, you can simulate a NEW crate effect.

expand

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Expand? I told you what you had to do.

 

You attach an animation to a crate with an effect attached to that animation. It can be another way to die, it can spawn a mutated unit, among an array of other things. I'm going to make a "God" crate where your unit dies from a lightning bolt.
