you need WinRar- but dont use that version, I've just got a couple more things then Version 0.03 is going to be out. so just hold tight, that version sucks.

[Death3464]

and after around one or two more updates, itll be at version 0.10 (itll start going by tens if it is bigupdates) oops- sorry for the double-posting......

ROF=80
Range=15
Speed=100
Warhead=PsychGasCreate
Report=TeslaCoilAttack
Projectile=Invisible
IsElectricBolt=true

and rad coil

[RadEruptionWarhead2]
Verses=100%,100%,100%,20%,10%,10%,0%,0%,0%,100%,10 0%
InfDeath=7
Radiation=yes
CellSpread=5
CellInset=3

[RadBolt]
Damage=100
ROF=80
Range=15
Speed=100
Warhead=RadEruptionWarhead2

[Death3464]

Death, if you want to post my or somebody else's tutorials, you should do so by posting a link to them, not by c/p'ing the whole stuff without credit.

To get ra2md.csf (the strings table, which can be edited with RA2StrEdit or any other string editor such as the XCC Utilities one), you must extract it from the game's .mix files. Same with almost any file you need to edit to make a mod.

The XCC Mixer can extract such files; I assume you've already downloaded it. Well, browse through the various /mix files until you come across the ra2md.cfs file. I'll be nice - it's in langmd.mix. Then simply right-click on ra2md.csf and clik "Extract" and save it somewhere, ready for editing.

[bobing]

RA2 String Editor? never heard of the thing, what you need is XCC mixer, get the pack containing the mix editor and thats everything you'll ever need. only thing XCC mixer doesn't do for you is place files back into a mix, so, you want to use XCC mix editor for that.

oh, that and wordpad, and anything you need to make VXLs, SHPs and HVAs if you want graphics too, but for now i sugest sticking to XCC mixer and wordpad/notepad or some other text editor.

[Death3464]

I'm not sure why that's occuring because it has not happened to me yet.

I have edited his post. Death, don't do that any more. If you don't understand why, I will explain to you in numbing detail.
