Hi All, Thanks for helping out DontCryJustDie with the updated INI, its of incredible value to me! I've taken the decision to unlist the mod (Tiberian Dawn Expansion Pack for others to recognise) for the short term as it is clear that it is needing the work, and it is not acceptable (to me) to be used in its current form. I will update and bring back when correct functionality is restored.

Out of respect for your work DontCryJustDie this is the best option at this time!

No, not this time, my sidebar is fine with your mod and RA assets, i had that issue when the expansion pack was enabled, i don't have said mod now so its all good, yes when your mod told me to restart the game i actually did. Again, all is in working order now, just waiting for the updated pack.

You have black boxes on the sidebar because you didn't restarted the game app when you were told to or maybe some of the items just don't have sidebar camoes. With next update the game will automatically close when XML file were modified and will show a message in a console app, hopefully that will finally stop those 'bug' reports/comments about that...

The one from your mod works fine so far no blacked boxes on the sidebar, when i used the expansion pack i had trouble with helipad, some things to buy were not displaying the icon just the name ( blacked boxes) i'd call it. so i decided to remove the mod until its updated. Yours with RA assets work fine no issues so far and no crashes. I did download that rule ini file you mentioned just now.

Some days ago I posted an updated rules_mod.ini in that mod's comment section (just 2 comments under your comment there) that fixed the problems. You can use that until RangerbeastDrill updates the mod.

All fixed no warning messages now! Thanks for the help :D . Now to wait for the Tiberian Expansion Pack to be updated!

ah i see yes i had compability there twice i deleted one of them and will test now! :)

Oh and by "Simply remove it." I mean removed the duplicate entry and not delete the file because when you delete it you can't play the game because the Remaster needs to file for whatever reason.

Followup post: Yes, the original CONQUER.INI shipped with the Remaster contains Compatibility twice, I guess I fixed that in my ini long time ago that is why I never got the warning.

You can share files using Google Drive or you can create a pastebin. Anyway not needed for this because I now know what the problem is. For some reason, your CONQUER.INI file contains a duplicate entry called "Compatibility." Simply remove it. It is a leftover ini from vanilla TD, maybe I'll stop parsing the file in a future update because most settings are useless in the Remaster.

I am not using third party mods, i just simply subscribed to your mod and that's it, the game has had a clean install done.

How would i go about posting my log? The only mod i am using besides yours is RA assets. I'm waiting for them to update Tiberian Dawn Expansion Pack, so at the moment i just use yours and RA assets. This is what it says: WARNING: 'Compatibility' hash collision with existing entry key 'Compatibility' in section [Options]. Im just confused in what options??

As I said I added some basic rules validation with my last update that is to help the user find wrong ini settings he may made. If you got a warning then your probably made a mistake when you edited ini files. If you got a hash collision warning it probably means you have a duplicated section or duplicated entries in a section. The log entry tells you the section/entry, just fix it.

If you haven't made any edits the warning comes from a third party mod, ask the author to fix it.
If you haven't made any edits and don't use a third party mod then the warning is from my mod then please post your log so I can fix it.

i dont get any errors but i get a 1 warning and 0 errors when running ini message, i checked the log it says something about compability hash??

I saw you also posted on Tiberian Dawn Expansion Pack, that mod isn't updated for the latest version of my mod, the warnings/errors are from that mod, so deactivate said mod until it got fixed by the author.

the mod crashes my game i belive it say it have 17 errors in veteran file

No, you haven't restarted your game after you got the xml file modification message.

mobile shield is a blank square?

@DontCryJustDie:

Thanks for the tips, as always they're greatly appreciated and as of now I'm making a record of them and implementing them into my mod.ini files as per your directions

The settings with Scenario prefix only work in campaign. BuildTimePenalty works in skirmish but is disabled there via skirmish.ini. If you want the pre nerf difficulty copy [Brutal] from veterancy.ini to campaign_mod.ini, rename it to [Difficult] and add HarvAutoCrushScenario=0.

Regarding the new difficulty settings in the mod's INI file, are they applicable to both skirmish mode and campaign/spec ops mode, or only skirmish mode? I'm just trying to get my head around that new feature in the INI file and how I can utilise it to make the campaign's hard difficulty genuinely pre-nerf hard again

Mod has been updated if you now get warnings & errors it means that either your personal ini edits are faulty or if you use a third party mod then their rules are faulty, in the latter case ask the author to update the mod.

great, thank you

By using a map editor that can do that like this .

How do you create megamap?

ah thanks

Ask the Ares (RA2) or Vinifera (TS) devs.

do you know if its possible to add a button for Hunt in Dune 2k or TS/RA2? I presume they also have a hunt order for the AI

There is no parachute in TD.

A general question ...

Do all the parachute parameters that are used in the Red Alert rules.ini work in the TD version of your mod?
(So that I only have to add them to my .ini file)

I have a lot of ideas about things that could be parachuted.

Please use the bug report thread for bug reports, thanks.

As I said nuke had wrong scaling in v40 (fixed in v41) maybe your pc couldn't handle that, idk I don't have crashes when I fire the nuke.
The problem with the turrets should be fixed with v41, which was reported/discussed in said bug report thread.

For the nuke bug I quick saved before using it, throw nuke and do not look on explosion. For me looking at it is almost 100% crash.
Also from what I found during getting my platinum:
- Sometimes Helicopters with Veterancy level hover above landing zone and freeze there.
- Sometimes while building turrets there is just a gray placeholder which doesn't react in any way. Got it while building Turret / Obelisk in Covert OPS. You can't sell it but you can fix / attack it as it has HP bar.

It doesn't crash for me but I just saw that the nuke isn't scaled correctly because I made a copy&paste error in the last update. It will be fixed with next update.

Cool, is there any possibility that using Nuke Superweapon crashes game now?

Yes, I implemented better usage of secondary weapons. If you can't beat it reduce difficulty, deactivate the mod or use the ini system to change the Mammoth.

is this mod changing how Mammoth Tank target infantry? They always seem to shoot rockets which makes Nod 11B impossible to beat.

@DontCryJustDie
Thanks for the reply i tried to download the os big editor from the website it doesnt seen to be downloading. I will try again later.

You can change the difficulty values in the CNCRULES XML . I plan to move those settings to the rules.ini in a future update.

is there a way to make the AI harder in the campaign?

Can someone point me to a rule I can change?

Maybe i missed.

Does this mod effect the ai in campaign like is it harder?

Apparently this makes the final dino mission in which you control the dinos instead the military forces utterly impossible to take down since, according to a youtube user's comment, the passive cash gain that Advanced Communications Center and Temple of Nod give makes it so that the enemy forces will always outnumber you, so yeah, just figured i'd point out this annoyance. ^^;

As such, anyone trying to do that final dino mission should turn this mod temporarily off so that the mission doesn't become impossible to beat.

Alright, thank you for responding to my comments here, it's very much appreciated.

Please see rules ini and example rules threads. Click the links I just posted or click on the discussion section of this mod.

Ah, I see. I'm pretty much new to the C&C1 modding scene, so I dunno how to change the tib growth myself. If it's a simple change similar to the text-based "rules.ini" then I understand that, but I dunno what governs the tib growth, as I don't want it to be grown back insanely too fast or far from its original field, but just enough so that it can get one's footing during the early stuff before solidifying a good enough defense/exploration force for other tib field.

Could you please tell me how to change the tib growth rate then? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Also, how do you activate the "bounty system"? I would really like to use it after all.

You can't use more than one mod that changes the DLL as said in this mods description. You can only use mods together when they change different files, once mods change the same files they are incompatible with each other.

This mod has a highly customizable tib growth algorithm since Version 36.

Have a question, can this be combined with the "tib growth" mini-mods on the workshop? I'm asking since, as you can imagine, i'm getting VERY ANNOYED by the fact that, once a certain tib field is depleted, it immediately loses its main resource value, whereas the "tib growth" mini-mods mentioned before can help IMMENSELY to offset that.

Got it, thanks for clarifying regardless, really.

As said in the description of this mod, the legacy renderer has been disabled.

Gotcha, i'm guessing this mod won't work with classic unit graphics, right? Just figured i'd ask is all.
