2. For most maps any changes you make should (and will) only affect that map. If you edit stuff like player templates it will stick until you close the game (this is a common way of enabling the boss general).

Based On Acidbrain Said. In Question4: i will just put all my stuf there including(in that question it supposedly , i will mod only the ini file) : -Ini.File What should be The name of it? it does matters?

Posted by: klingondragon - Wednesday, January 11, 2017 5:41:51 AM
From what I understand of it (I'm struggling with your and acidbrain's english): You want to make a full mod but have it only affect one map. This would be very hard. Either you make a map.ini and just make the mod in there. Or you could make a mod and use a map.ini to switch to new units etc.. The problem with the first method is new stuff won't have a build cost or build time. The problem with the second method is it's too much effort for the player to install that one map. Using your crusader example: Method 1: Mod the crusader in map.ini Method 2: Copy the crusader and mod that. Save in a big archive. In your map.ini modify the crusader build commandbutton to build the copy instead of the normal one.

That wasn't an attack. That was merely me trying to help. It's you who react and take it the wrong way. If two people who have English as a second language communicate in English it's very easy for a small miscommunication to cause disproportionate problems. What you originally replied may be correct. However, after I managed to work out what was said, I thought a little more would help. Also, as the original poster asked for more information after your poor reply, I'm more than justified for trying to help out.

Posted by: acidbrain - Thursday, January 12, 2017 2:50:23 AM
If you want to use your own big file it is handy to have a separate shortcut so the game knows what to run... Here is how to do it: 1. Go to your game root and select generals.exe 2. Right click and select create shortcut 3. cut/paste the new shortcut to your desktop and name it, mod name would be handy 4. select the shortcut, right click and select properties 5. locate the source and add -mod yourmod.BIG to it, apply and voilla you have just created a shortcut to your mod... Be sure that there is a space between the end of the source path and -mod yourmod.BIG so something like this: ¨somekindofpath\blabla.exe¨ -mod yourmod.BIG Check the first post I made again, there is a link with possible switches Greetz

Posted by: Zatsupachi - Thursday, January 12, 2017 3:09:41 AM
Question 8- Preferrably yes. It's more organized that way. Question 9- The reason for shotcuts is so that you wont need multiple copies of your ZH/Generals directory. You just a shortcut that tells the exe beforehand to read the corresponding .big files.

9. If you want your stuff to show up in WB make sure it's in the root directory. Only once you're finished with WB should you use a special nodded shortcut to run the game. 10. No. The old shortcut would run the game normally. The new shortcut would run this mod. 11. Open finalbig (if you don't have it, check the downloads section of cnclabs). Click New >> BIG Archive. Click and drag your files into finabig. Make sure their names are: 'Data/INI/[filename]' (and your object should be: 'Data/INI/Object/[filename]'). Save as something like: `MapMod.big or 00MapMod.big ( the '`' and '00' are to make sure the mod shows up at the top of the list alphabetically and hence is added to the game first). 12. No. The map folder can only have the one ini file (map.ini). The big archive mods the whole game. Also, a note on your English. [s]I think you mean 'does' not 'did' in question 5 and 6.[/s] Actually I think 'Will' fits the second half of the sentence better'. And 'do' not 'did' in question 8. 'did' is the past tense of 'do' and is usually used to ask if someone has completed a task (or other action) e.g.: "Did you eat breakfast this morning". You're asking what you should be doing so you you could use: "Do I ..." or perhaps it would be better to use: "Should I ...". (Note, this is not an attack but some constructive advice.)

[b]Question:13[/b] Can i do a unit using a map ini? or can i moded the whole unit using Map.ini ,like this: adding the new unique commandset on it adding the new unique weapon on it adding the new unique commandbutton and the whole Unit that being moded on it.... [b] Question:14[/b] this is related at question13,is there's a limit in map.ini? Guys Thanks.[grin]

Posted by: klingondragon - Thursday, January 12, 2017 5:18:06 AM
13. It depends what you want to do with the unit. You can add new units and structures but the build times and costs won't work in game. However a new commandbutton, commandset, and weapon can all be added using a map.ini. 14. If you mean character limit in the file: I doubt it (but I don't [u]Know[/u]. If you mean limit in what you can do: as I've already said (in this reply, and others), there are a few things map.inis just can't do (namely: build times and build costs (I think there are a couple more things but I don't know what they are off the top of my head)).

When someone says something what mr klingon doesnt like then he starts crying that he is attacked or that people ventilate unjustified hate towards him. He starts a charm offensive by starting a mod project right after he got a warning and now he acts like the big boy, it is really laughable... Try to make some lgbt jokes and see how he likes that, just say that people do that often in the place where you live and that it just a joke for you and see how mr. klingon likes that... Oh btw me calling mr klingon mr is just a joke, lmao over here, so much fun...

I've been thinking about that mod for months and I was talking about it in the staff forums for days before that argument even started. This is no charm offensive. It's a genuine mod that we're developing together (as a community). One of the many aspects of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_humour#Race_and_regional_stereotypes]British Humour[/url] is jokes about stereotypes. Sorry if those jokes don't work internationally. And, now I've seen that people are actually getting offended, I've stopped. You continue to call me 'mr klingon', even though I have told you I don't like it.

Posted by: klingondragon - Friday, January 13, 2017 5:46:41 AM
That's because that's a different commandbutton. The names have to be identical. To create a new commandbutton: copy an existing one and make the required modifications; To add it to the commandset: add the line: ' # = Command_Whatever_You_Called_It'.

I've found, when you want to mess with commandsets in map.inis, that renaming the commandset and giving the object the new commandset works (when just modifying the existing one doesn't). Also, if I understand what you want to do, you need not actually change the commandset and commandbutton. merely the weapon the terrorist has when he runs into things. As such, you should probably just have some code which looks like this: [code=plain]Object Terrorist WeaponSet PRIMARY = Nuke End End[/code] Obviously with the correct names and stuff. It is important never to make more changes than you actually need to (at least, not until you get it working).

16. Yes. Simply change that line of code in the object's ini code. 17. Do you mean "When you extract the art big files, Will the art folder be created?"? If so, Yes but I wouldn't advise doing this. I'd advise extracting the folders to your documents and copying files to the game folder when you need to use them. 18. Try paint.net. You can either create an image in there, or load an existing image and change the file type.

Precisely. When I first started modding, I directly edited the INIZH.big files. What I do now is have all the .big files extracted into a folder in my documents. I copy from there into the game when I want to mod.

I find it easier to just have one image per image file. That way you just check the dimensions and don't have to mess around with working out where things are. The game will resize it for you (I once used a 3000 by 3000 picture where the game usually had a 150 by 150).

19.1: Object inis can have any name as long as they're in the object folder. 19.2: You need to make sure the path is correct. It doesn't matter how you separate the files. 19.3: the big archive should be placed in either the game root (mods the game) or in your Generals data folder in your documents (allows you to create a separate shortcut for that mod). I hope that answers your questions. I found it hard to work out what you actually wanted. Your English is still quite poor.

[quote=acidbrain;142814]If you want to use your own big file it is handy to have a separate shortcut so the game knows what to run... Here is how to do it: 1. Go to your game root and select generals.exe 2. Right click and select create shortcut 3. cut/paste the new shortcut to your desktop and name it, mod name would be handy 4. select the shortcut, right click and select properties 5. locate the source and add -mod yourmod.BIG to it, apply and voilla you have just created a shortcut to your mod... Be sure that there is a space between the end of the source path and -mod yourmod.BIG so something like this: ¨somekindofpath\blabla.exe¨ -mod yourmod.BIG Check the first post I made again, there is a link with possible switches Greetz[/quote] [b] kinda need more detailed answer(need an picture too for more detailedness lol) about the shortcut, about the path .. or just can someone can give me the path that i need[/b] [img]https://s6.postimg.org/6mr52uh8x/shortcut_properties.png[/img] [b]i need an directory for my Map minimod[/b] should be start on documents Thanks for Advannnnceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee[grin] [+1] [b]EDIT: so do i just need to add this[/b] ? -mod ? and left the other's behind ?

You can remove in a map.ini. the best way is probably to: duplicate the commandset, give it a new name, give the object the new commandset, do what you want to the commandset.
