and sorry 4 my englisch

In other words, you would like to merge the Superweapon General, Air Force General and default USA all into one faction...

---

you know Id like to be able to do that too, but I havent put in the time to figure it out... im sure its somewhere in the game data ini files... I havnt personally messed with that much, but if you download FinalBIG and open up the INIZH.BIG file you can find all sorts of fun stuff, scroll to near the bottom and youll see the different generals, and tons of dating relating to them...

---

yes i konw the finalbig but i dont know in wich ini i must change what that the change happens :(

maybess someone coul explain me

thx 4 the fast answers!

OK, I havnt done this before, however looking at the file I see a couple things that would prolly need to be changed to say, add the aurora to the regular USA airfield. (i could be wrong but im certain im atleast on the right track) Within that INIZH.BIG file you will see about a hundred files. Towards the bottom youll see a file for each general labeled Data\INI\Object\SuperweaponGeneral.ini and others for the other generals. Now, these files are huge so it takes some careful scrolling but about a tenth of the way down youll see the section on the aurora bomber. Now, what I did was pulled up that one and copy pasted to a notepad document the section on the aurora then I went to the airforce general and did the same to another notepad document. I did this so I could scroll through that particular section of the ini files side by side on my screen. There are only a few differences in those secions on the aurora. You have the 'button image' (i assume this is where you click to build), you have the 'select portrait', this should be the image over on the bottom right that just gives a picture of what your clicked on. Also, there is the 'model' field that must be filled in and for one its the super weapon aurora and the other it says the airforce aurora. These are all towards the top, towards the bottom, actually at the very bottom of the airforce general ini file youll see an extra section that gives the aurora for the airforce gen the defensive lasers (im assuming youd want to put those on as well). Now what I expect you would have to do, is go into the america ini file, and find the section on the aurora bomber and replace anything specific to its abilities with what the other two have. Now, I expect you would also have to go into the building object properties (also contained within each respective generals ini file) and add the aurora to its build list. Now, keep in mind I havent done this, but I'm prolly going to try here in the next day or two, so if it works for me I'll let you know!

i think that there are more preferences in other ini´s to to so.
i tryed to copy the arora alpha form the super weepon general into the ariforce general but its still the aurora bomber not the aurora alpha 😞

So you copies some things and it didnt work but you didnt get an error either?? and nothing funny on the screen like a alpha picture with the regular bomber?? I think with this its a matter of experimenting to figure out what all needs to be changed. Im going to try to make my USA have the alpha aurora with the laser defense and also the king raptor and the paladin tank with laser, and tomohawk and stealth comanches... since my AI scripts dont enhance the regular generals at all I figure I mise well fix them up too so its fair.

nad 0please dont forget tje emp patroiot ;)

thx 4 helping me!!!😎

greets noFace

PS i found a tutorisl but my rnhlidh is not thr best so i dont know what to to ore how to clone the paladin, crusader, aurora alpha , emp patrioit
but maybe It helps further


no i have in the airforcegeneral.ini from the americanvehicle.ini the paladin and the crusader panzer copy but it doesnt work. but the game does not chras. maybe we must something do in the commandbutton.ini bechause the buttons in the game when i play the airforce general are not there.

so hope sombody could made the little mod 😎

[EDIT: Double Post Splice -- CommieDog]

There are two ways of doing this. One is modifying the mutiplayer scripts located in the Data\Scripts folders of the game directories or you can do INI editing. For which ever way you are most comfortable wit, I will tell you how in step by step instructions on do it. But for the INI editing, all you really need to do is just move around the command buttons in the CommandSet.ini file. Then delete the prerequisites of all the units you toy with.

If you want to have the Paladin Tank a purchasable science, then it will require INI editing.

Let me know which way you'd rather do it. It think each way would take the same time.

I would be interested inthe INI directions if noFace isnt. Ive tried a little bit and didnt get the results I hoped for even after eyeing those ini files up and down for anything that looked like it should be changed

---

Me Myself And Pi i have worked with the ini file i did what you say but the game doesnt start (there came am message like virsus ore overheeating....)
please can you write me the ini and tehst it and send it to my email adress?
ore maybe the other way would work i dont test. but with the ini i have problems.

greetz

I haven't given you any instructions yet, but I'll be unable to until you let me know which way you'd like to do this, scripting or INI editing & whether or not you what to have the Paladin Science available for the air force general.

i prefere to work with the ini ;)


greetz noFace

Okay then, but you still haven't told if you want to Paladin science avilable for the Air Force General's Generals Promotions menu. Never the less I'll give you instructions to do it.

1) Remove any of your changes so far.
2) Open the CommandSet.ini file & use the search funtion (ctrl+F) to locate the command buttons for one of the units you want avilable for the Air Force General & copy them into a black notepad document.
3) Find the command sets for the buildings you want the unit avilable on & paste the command buttons from the notepad document into the command set. Give it a number that isn't already in use. Here's an example command set for the USA barracks with a rebel added to it:
4) Now find the "CommandSet AirF_SCIENCE_AMERICA_CommandSetRank1" line & add the "Command_PurchaseSciencePaladinTank" for the 3rd command button slot.

Now you need to adjust the prerequisites:

5) Open up the INI files that contains the code for the units.
6) Once you find the code for a unit, scroll down to the prerequisites & delete them. For the Alfa Aurora, add, AirF_AmericaStrategyCenter to the line that has the SupW_AmericaStrategyCenter in it instead. But delete the air field prerequisite. So it should look like this:
I don't think you need to adjust the prerequisites for the Paladin Tank Sciecne.

That should be it!
