[Amnesia5586]

I recently altered my rulesmd.ini and when I turned on the game I disabled superweapons but they were still available after I built my battle lab, I looked at the option disableablefromshell and that checked out as ok. I did notice one thing if I happen to build the superweapon there is no timer nor does it do anything at all its like on of the fake structures from Red Alert. Can anyone help?

[Daedalus]

what exactly did you alter?

[Amnesia5586]

mostly animations dealing with the superweapons

[Daedalus]

Hmm. the disablefromshel is ok indeed. I dunno, maybe just a bug. Try reinstalling, or doublecheck you didnt make a mistake par exident

[Amnesia5586]

What I was trying to do was clean the rule (quote free) and then maybe update the animations. Do you know where I could download an unalterd rulesmd (quote free file) and artmd (quote free file)

[Daedalus]

I guess cncden is a good place to start but i dont know the exact url.

Justs use google if you dont know either

[Kravvitz]

why would you want to remove the notes?

They don't make much of a difference in filesize, especially when you have lots of other files in you mod.

I've been modding C&C for years and I still refer to the notes all of the time.

"www.cncden.com", perhaps?

And the comments are essential. It's a mistake to take them all out. Listen to what Kravvitz said.
