How do you add more stages of promotion, and how do you edit what happens to them at that point? Oh, I almost forgot: How do you add the new promotion image?

Edit: Fixed typoe. Makes more sense now.

u can add more but they don't do anything so don't bother

There are two tags, look them up, I don't remeber them clearly: "Veteranabilities=" and "Eliteabilities=" I think.

Here you can put some values to give new abilities at promoptions:

STRONGER
FASTER
ROF
SELFHEAL
FIREPOWER (Not certain)
FEARLESS (Not certain)
There may be some more, not sure. Try to look them up.


For new weapons use "Eliteprimary=" and ""Elitesecondary="

I haven't memorized the rulesmd.ini, so chech capitalization and spelling.

[AOWR-Theoo Stratiotes]

There's no way to make them do something. C**p

Edit: I already know about normal Veteran/elite. I just can't figure out new ones.

Oh, and there are close to or over thirty abilities.

FIREPOWER is well obvious more damage on weapon

FEARLESS is for infantry and stops them crawling.

[MCV]

IRT AWOR: Over thirty!?! Where do I find them?

IRT Allied General: I mean I didn't know if they really excisted.

Dude, I got two good things out of TibEd:

One: I learned how to edit the crates.

Two: I found a list of the various promotion abilities.

Note: I was wrong; there are eighteen.

C4
Cloak
Crusher
Explodes
Faster
Fearless
Firepower
Guard_area
Radar_invisible
ROF
Scatter
Self_heal
Sensors
Sight
Stronger
Tiberium_heal
Tiberium_proof
Vein_proof

[Allied General]

Tiberium_heal
Tiberium_proof
Vein_proof

are obsolete and from TS

plz never use tibed ever otherwise expect minimal help cos it messes up the format of the inis i.e. humans can't understand it when you open up the file using notepad.

its also hasn't got tags which a modder can use.

fearless and C4 are infantry only

crusher is only for vehicles with crusher=no (ability changes it to crusher=yes)

sight only works if u modify VeteranSight=0.0

Don't call me an idiot for that.

I know not to use TibEd (I learned the time my game crashed because of it) . But I still attempt to find stuff like this because it has so many freakin' notes and guidelines that I can find some useful stuff that isn't actually listed anywhere else. See, this is why not to call me an idiot for that.

Some of it may not work, but this does; I tested it.

Now you can call me an idiot for testing it after my game crashed once.

Edit: I believe that the tiberium tags can be fixed, and thus, used. Correct me if this is not possible.

I fail to see where in this topic AG called you an idiot exactly but that may be me.

[Allied General]

if anything you are calling yourself a idiot by

a. your response

b. the fact you called this topic One mor dumb question

Also useful references.

Its a sticky thread for a reason.

Deezire.

This guy who has been around ages made an INI guide detailing 90% of the tags and there functions in the RA2/YR engine

Also WW leave behind all these ; with pieces of txt afterward

These are helpful comments (well most of them)

Its not brain surgery.

RA2/YR modding should not be dumb down to a graphical user interface with boxes and clicky buttons.

Also tiberium tags are oboselete, the damage logic, the power logic, the viens, the terrain were all dramitcally changed.

[AOWR-Theoo Stratiotes]

You're right, he didn't. (I don't think he would.)

But not many people like TibEd and it crashes games frequently so people are going to call me stupid for using it, and I don't deserve it for that.

I deserve it for testing the stuff from it, and inevitably the stuff that crashed my game.

Edit: This is for the comment by Blaat85.

Edit: I agree, modding should be going through code, editing and learning from the notes and for yourself what everything is. But the notes from it are very useful.

[Allied General]

well at least you learnt your lesson.

use notepad and if notepad can't open it use wordpad.

[AOWR-Theoo Stratiotes]

I do use notepad; along with programs like the OS SHP builder, or Blade's voxel editor.
