This tutorial will show you how to enable the Carpet Bombing superweapon in Generals.

First of all open the file FactionBuilding.ini located in Data\INI\Object. Find this bit of

Code:

  DisplayName      = OBJECT:Airfield
  Side             = America

Under that entry find this line:

Code:

  ; *** ENGINEERING Parameters ***

This defines the special parameters for this building. Under this section find:

Code:

  RadarPriority       = STRUCTURE
  KindOf              = PRELOAD STRUCTURE SELECTABLE IMMOBILE AIRFIELD SCORE CAPTURABLE FS_FACTORY MP_COUNT_FOR_VICTORY AUTO_RALLYPOINT
  Body                = StructureBody ModuleTag_10
    MaxHealth         = 1500.0
    InitialHealth     = 1500.0
  End

Add this after it:

Code:

  Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_23
    SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponCarpetBomb
    OCL                  = SUPERWEAPON_CarpetBomb
  End

Now find this:

Code:

;  Behavior           = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_23;this has been removed from everywhere but the ChinaAirfield in CHI05
;    SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponCarpetBomb
;    OCL                  = SUPERWEAPON_CarpetBomb
;    CreateLocation       = CREATE_AT_EDGE_NEAR_SOURCE
;  End

Delete it.

Save the file and close it. Now open CommandSet.ini located in Data\INI. Find this:

Code:

CommandSet AmericaAirfieldCommandSet

Under that entry find this line:

Code:

  8  = Command_UpgradeAmericaLaserMissiles

Add this line after it:

Code:

  9  = Command_CarpetBomb

Save the file and close it. Now open SpecialPower.ini located in Data\INI. Find this:

Code:

SpecialPower SuperweaponCarpetBomb
  Enum                = SPECIAL_CARPET_BOMB
  ReloadTime          = 150000   ; in milliseconds
  ;;;RequiredScience     = SCIENCE_CarpetBomb;;; Never ever ever use a required science with a public timer, since the hiddenbyscience never clears
  PublicTimer         = Yes
  SharedSyncedTimer   = Yes
  ViewObjectDuration  = 40000
  ViewObjectRange     = 250
  RadiusCursorRadius  = 100
End

Change it to:

Code:

SpecialPower SuperweaponCarpetBomb
  Enum                = SPECIAL_CARPET_BOMB
  ReloadTime          = 150000
  PublicTimer         = No
  SharedSyncedTimer   = Yes
  ViewObjectDuration  = 40000
  ViewObjectRange     = 250
  RadiusCursorRadius  = 100
End

Save the file, close it and you're done. You have now successfully enabled the Carpet Bombing superweapon.
