Fun little tricks that we know.

Things I know:

-To make things fire from off screen(don't work for carrier types), off set the unit's fire so it comes from off screen.

-To make a pseudo extra side have stolen tech, make it so that the other stolen tech is forbidden to them and their stolen tech requiring their side.(theoretical)

-To make a grande cannon be buildable by AI, change the ower tag to 'French'(if you encounter any no EVA announcement bugs, just make it so that a structure(french wall perhaps) build when the french radar is built).(don't forget to put it on the list)

-To extend the Nuke's range, attach invisible spharpnel to it so it extends the thing's total range(theoretical)

-When in doubt, use the The Prism Tank Chassis.

What do oyu guys know?

Somewhere Godwin Koay is seething with anger. I don't mean to be offensive but this isn't exactly quality posting material. Anyhow:

- You can make a true helicopter with a Siege Chopper logic.

- When in doubt and needing originality use a stripped down Mirage Tank chassis.

- Deploying artillery = micromanagement = bad. People want to make lots of decisions, but not the really stupid or inane ones.

-Invisible invulnerable insignificant buildings = Starcraft-style upgrades.

-TS logic is played, but still useful.

-KINETIC weaponry rocks my socks.

-To make a psudeo fourt side not start with its real side starting infantry/tanks, change "owner=" for the old side infantry and tanks to not include your country that is now it's own side, and change "owner=" for the new side infantry and tanks to only include your new side's country(s).

Well the point of this was to kinda share what we know and how it's done.

TurnAGamer · 02-11-2003, 10:18 PM

Oh, so that you can steal all our ideas. OK.

Well for public use, I gave you how to make stuff coem from off map in RA2(a cool thing for non YR people).

RA2 modding won't be around for any much longer so we might as well give out how we do things.

RA2 Modding will be around as long as we're still around.

at last! Turn-A Gamer is here

RA2 has limitations compared to RA1 oz its TS based. the Pilot logic works in RA1 without the "Pilot=" entry in the rules.ini . i've tried disassemblying the .exe but i was unable to find something to unlock the Pilot logic and all i can see is 00112 and blah blahs.

btw, using Prism Tank's chassis is too big for an Allied Tank, a bit bigger that the Rhino tank. but the Mirage chassis could be better and must have a good turret to match it. .

Did you make it divide by zero so that you could get a code dump or something?
