hello every one

 

i would like to make some special units ( like space commando , cyborg commando , vanguard , yuri , sam stallion ) to be buildable in for example custom twin bridge map

 

any help would be appreciated

Open the map in editor and go to Edit- INI Editing. Add a new section for a unit.

You'll have to specify the Owner, Prerequisite and TechLevel values.

Just in case, here's the names of houses in MO:

USSR,Latin,Chinese,PsiCorps,Headquaters,ScorpionCell,Europeans,UnitedStates,Pacific,Guild1,Guild2,Guild3

thanks for your response ... can you pls be more detailed ? take for example space commando to be buildable for russia

[Terminal Velocity]

[CBRIS]
Owner=USSR
TechLevel=10
Prerequisite=NAHAND,NATECHR // Soviet Barracks + Palace, change it to whatever you wish
Prerequisite.RequiredTheaters=NEWURBAN  // Change it to the theater of your map

There's a small problem with space commando and some other units: they don't have a cameo.

what is the theater of map ?

[Terminal Velocity]

The map Theatres assign the tileset that the map uses in game. Like snow, temperate, urban, newurban,desert and lunar. The reason I specified the Prerequisite.RequiredTheaters is because by default the space commando was restricted to the lunar maps only.

Second question: Just place that unit on a map, than hover your cursor over it. Look at the status bar at the bottom.

Spoiler

Now, for your first question: that will require you to modify game's files.

Go to Your MO Directory/INI/Map Code and you will see configs for every game mode.

Just open it with a text editor, paste your code somewhere (it will look like my space commando example above,every section should be placed between [ ] ) ,and save the file.

Prerequisite.RequiredTheaters=NEWURBAN,temperate,urban,snow

^ Yeah,something like that. Not 100% sure about using multiple theaters, but I think it should work.

Note : I will recommend you to backup the original ini file before you go online

[shinmarwan]

sorry to bother

 

but cyborg commando doesnot show up in barracks i did this in the tech share ini

[CYCOM]

Owner=Guild1,Guild2,Guild3

TechLevel=10

Prerequisite=FABARR,FACLDP

Prerequisite.RequiredTheaters=TEMPERATE,SNOW,Urban,Desert,NewUrban

 

whats wrong ?

 

and also paradox engine

[Handepsilon]

it still has Stolen Tech prerequisite

 

Paradox Engine is very complicated one because the weapons were removed due to many people using ini files to cheat online.

 

Tbh, this is a very sensitive topic. I don't really want to disclose this kind of thing, especially out in the open where many people can see. A lot of variables can be tweaked without causing the game to crash online.

I am dumb enough to not realize, I can add new unit types or other things via map editor itself. I always used stupid Notepad+ each time
