This file contains everything related to sounds. Every bleep, bang or yacking from infantry can be found here.

very well done thank you!
Oldfaq

where can I donwload versions of ini now

Phoib · 02-12-2003, 03:03 PM

Extract them

FatJoe · 02-12-2003, 05:18 PM

Err yeah.. about that part...

How does one extract the ini files so they can be edited and where should the ini files be to affect the game.. ?*shrugs*?

Cheers
Joe

Phoib · 02-12-2003, 05:43 PM

Get XCC's BIG extractor here and follow the structure as it is in the INI.BIG file (and put them in data dir)

FatJoe · 02-13-2003, 05:53 AM

Great.. works like a charm.. now.. lets say I want to edit Chinas Nuke..
like the damage it does.. where exacly can I find it.. it sais 0 in the weapons.ini meaning its special or something.. does that mean it cant be edited or its somewhere else, and if so, where exacly if anyone knows..

cheers
Joe

You can edit it, but the bastards (nothing personall DZ

) named it NeutronMissile in FactionUnit.ini, so I have been seeking for it for 5 minutes...

what are all those Blast# for? is that like the Nuke (that is what it is right) damage effects ?

Ok this is the declaration of the particle cannon superweapon in SpecialPower.ini
Enum=not really sure I think it is just a name string
ReloadTime=time it takes to fire again in milliseconds
PublicTimer=can others see the countdown
ViewObjectDuration=time in milliseconds that you can see the area that is going to be effected by the superweapon

alright this is the Particle Cannon's laser draw sections in which to make the beam ingame the connector lasers (the first 2) I THINK is the beam that comes from the particle cannon building (that goes to the sky) the Intense is probably when the beam is at full power and the medium is when it is turning off (getting smaller) also the connectors may act for the fade away for the hitting beam too. The OrbitalLaser one is the actual beam that hits the enemies, that ScrollRate & TilingScalar are the things that allow you to move the beam while it is firing.

also comes off of the explosion of the beam impact (also not sure if sparks and magma are used in differemt places but this is my best understanding so far)

really not sure on this one but I think it has to do with the damage fire it causes

not sure on what this is for but it is probably for when the beam kills something, I think

this is what calls all the particle systems for the particle cannon the first one is for the beam impact to ground the second is for when it is fired from the particle cannon building (FXList.ini)

Ok I hope that helps or sheds some light on how the superweapons in Generals work, also if you have anything to add please go right ahead

First of all, it would look "cleaner" if you made a seperate post. (I will make one now, since this one is cluttered now

)

No, this is the Death OCL for the Particle Uplink, eg when the Particle Uplink blows up, this one get's into effect and sends out 6 Rangers.

For the rest your guesses seem accurate.

Please do so in a seperate post, so we have multiple posts on the ini's, one for the clear definitions, without regard to it's actual use, and another for the use of superweapons, another for FactionUnit.ini, and so on.
