I havent tried this, but just thinking out loud I think theres a reliable way of restoring the ability that allowed sharing of funds between allies in multiplayer

1 - make a new 'superweapon' thats a clone of the China Generals Ability (Cash Hack). On its CommandButton, just stick NEED_TARGET_ALLY_OBJECT in the Options line - you can only use it on allied Supply Centers.

2 - give it to your supply center. By tweaking the special power code, you can determine how much cash you can 'steal' (borrow) from your ally.

4 - Edit EVA.INI so theres a new entry called EVA_ReceivedFundsAlly - allocate the relevant speeches to it (unused, in Audio.BIG).

3 - In SkirmishScripts.scb, write a new script in the PlyrCivilian folder that says 'If Player <LocalPlayer> Completed Using Special Power <Your New Special Power> Then 'EVA_ReceivedFundsAlly' Plays Allowing Overlap = FALSE

Voila!!

If you want to get smart, you can make a 'dummy' superweapon in the supply center too along with relevant scripts that just trigger the 'Your Ally Has Requested Funds' and 'You Have Requested Funds From Your Ally' speeches

For extra tweak value, give the special power command button CursorName = InvalidBuild, and make the InvalidBuild entry in Mouse.INI allocating SCCSell to it - you then have a nice cash cursor when using the power.

If anyone has a go and gets any reliable results, I'd be interested in knowing.

Nice! Pity you can only take the funds not give them. Giving them would be better as it won't allow greedy allies to take everything... But still, the concept is nice.

[DeeZire]

Yep, but the beauty is that the Cash Hack self-validates - you cant take more than the player has, and by editing the special power code for your supply center you can specify the max amount to take (say $1000)

EDIT: Thought - if you edited the code so you TOOK a NEGATIVE amount, youd actually GIVE them cash. You could then tweak the code to deduct that same amount from you when you use the special power

Couldn't you make it a negative number?
"Steal -$1000" could be read as "give 1000"
That way your ally couldn't take from you when he/she wanted.

[Opals25]

Yeah, make it steal -1000, and make the upgrade cost 1000 bucks to use. that way it evens it out.

[CodeCat]

The logic will probably fail when you don't have 1000, because it wasn't made for that. I expect it to either crash when you start the game, or crash when you try to use it without enough cash.

I would be surprised if using a negative number worked. There might be error checking to prevent that, or it could be that they just used unsigned integers, so that a negative number looks like a positive number. Somebody should try this though. It could be interesting.

i tried use a negative number for cashhack in generals and it doesn't work.btw i made some code so you can give money to you ally,a bit complex though.

[Syco]

Well let's see that code capitain...successful..at stuff...man...

and i think you can add some scripts,so when your money is less than,like,1000,remove the "give" button.and when it's more than 1000,readd it.
