I downloaded the C&C3 Mod SDK program and used Notepad to look at the XML files, but I don't know how to make the game accept my changes.
For example, I am studying the Tiberium Spike code in the C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Command & Conquer 3\MOD SDK\CnC3Xml\Neutral\Structures directory. Here is the code for the Tiberium Spike:

I want the game to accept a change I am making to the autodeposit module from this:
Code:
<AutoDepositUpdate
InitialCaptureBonus="750"
DepositInterval="1s"
DepositAmount="25"
GiveNoXP="true"
Flags="ACTIVE_WHEN_REPAIRING"/>
to this:
Code:
<AutoDepositUpdate
InitialCaptureBonus="10000"
DepositInterval="0.5s"
DepositAmount="500"
GiveNoXP="true"
Flags="ACTIVE_WHEN_REPAIRING"/>
How to I get the game to accept these changes? Otherwise it will use the first AutoDepositUpdate I posted above (InitialCaptureBonus="75", DepositInterval="1s", DepositAmount="25").
