I am really new to modding and i was wandering what uttilities do i need to create a new mod with new icons units and stuff thnx

1) XCC Mixer - without this, virtually no modding oif C&C games would be possible
2) Notepad/Wordpad - Extremely extremely good program. So simple it rocks.
3) A good GFX editor - preferable one you know how to use if you want to create new SHP gfx
4) Voxel Section Editor 2 v1.7 - for creating voxels (basically the tanks and the aircraft).
5) Last but not least, your brain.

You can't; and if you can, it has not been discovered yet.

Actually you can. Paralyzes= on the warhead. It specifies the number of frames to paralyze the affected unit.

But there's a difference between paralyzing a unit and turning of electricity...

Or would paralyzing a building turn it off? *eyebrow*

Renegade and I are 2 of the top 10 cameo ( build icon ) makers.

The cameo needs to be in pcx format, so that you can use XCC Mixer to convert it to shp(ts) format. It helps if whatever program you used to create the cameo can apply the palette to the pcx, XCC Mixer can apply pallettes, but cameos often need a little tweaking after applying the correct palette. After the cameo is in shp(ts) format and the correct palette you will need to put it in a mix file named "ecache(md)XX", md is if it is for YR only and XX is for the numbers between 02 and 99, and yes the leading zero is needed.

What program(s) are you using for graphics editing?

Do you know about the middle panel in XCC Mixer?

Do you have XCC Mix Editor?

XCC Mixer and XCC Mix Editor are available at http://xccu.sourceforge.net/

If you have more questions feel free to ask.
