Hmm... I know how to INI code, I even added one (Sadly v.v) sub-faction for RA2. If it's a new side you want me doing, I can't without the required sidecXX.mix files D= But I can add sub-factions =3 It just takes me a while to get them added correctly. Feel free to let me help with that part, I'll get you the resaults as fast I can. QUICK_EDIT
Hmmm... I know you cna basically add a new side through the country logic, which is how I added my subfaction for testing purposes. Sadly, it's only one MCV per side, but each sub-faction (In my theory from what I read) can basically be a differnt side that shares the construction yard and MCV of the faction the sub-faction is in.
As for removing, can't exactly help with that, unless you edit the part of the ini files that lets the AI decide which country to use. Atleast I think it's possible to remove a side that way.
Back to the MCV thing, I'm pretty sure you can't have it per sub-faction (Like eight differnt MCVs =O) but the sub-factions can seem like a new side that shares the Construction yard and MCV of the owning side. QUICK_EDIT
dude, it's really easy to give the other sides a new MCV.
Under [General], there will be a tag "BaseUnit=", this has all the MCVs that are used in the game. Add as many as you want.
Now, once you have added all you MCVs in their proper places (easiest just to c/p one mcv first), decide which countries you want to have which MCVs. All you have to do is add the names of those Countries in the "Owner=" tag, and presto, you're done. (Just make sure you only have each country under an Owner tage once).
For removing the RA2 subfactions, I would assume you just remove them from the [Countries] list, and just move the ones at the bottom up the appropiate number. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

That crashes the game. It even tells you in the comments, DO NOT REORDER the house list. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
above is a country entry. Now is it safe to assume you would just change "Multiplay=yes" to "Multiplay=no"? _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
I dont understand what you need help with.
But if you want to remove a country, simply put MultiplayPassive=true to the country, do that to YuriCountry and they are gone.
Diffrence MCV for same sides is easy to. Just play with the Owner= tag
I am good at sides and can be your man if u want... QUICK_EDIT
ok. now i successful to make 2 country have different Conyard [and mcv] and they even have different power plant!
Legion Of Steel Conyard [ Mech Faction ]
T.E.R.R.A Conyard [ Tank Faction ]
too bad if you use engineer capture conyard from another country you will not have their unit because i use "RequiredHouses" tag,then it will show all unit in each buildlist. QUICK_EDIT
Heres a long work around, give each house its own copy of all the buildings/units with the right prerequistes. That should fix it. _________________ Comcast: Yo dawg we herd yo were downloading, so we put fail in yo modem so yo cant download while yo failin! QUICK_EDIT
Nice work in the pictures, looks very nice. Nice to se you working on ROS again
Next time use PNG instead of blury JPEG. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Apex is right, although for some basic units (that only require one building) you should use the "PrerequisiteOverride=" instead, thus letting you have one unit being able to be built once you have either structre (you can have as many builingds in the prerequisite override). _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
But if you want to remove a country, simply put MultiplayPassive=true to the country
That only removes the country from the list. Choosing "Random ???" as your side is still able to choose the house that is not listed. There's a reason RP/NP added a fix to limit which houses are chosen by the random selection. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Ok, from what I understand, you have lets say the British Sniper can only be built for the british, but if you capture the britsih barracks, you can build it. So what you would do is:
Now both the normal Allies and the british can build GIs from their barracks, while only the someone possessing a british barracks can build a sniper.
Also, I don't think new MCVs deploy on their own (idk about the .exe patches though). A trick that is used is to give the mcv a weapon (usually a very very long range) that forces it to deploy to fire. So immeditaly when the game starts the mcv will target something, try to shoot, and deploy into a con yard. I'm uncertain if the AI will build or not (they don't in mod maps.... but maybe you can fix that with the aimd.ini) _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Am I the only one that think Mech Factions Construction Yard dont fit with the other GDI buildings?(Tank Factions is awsome)
Its to big and dont fitt with the others IMO. But the model is good. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Simply put, no. The sniper simply has owner as all allied countries and "requiredhouses=british" I think that should do it, however I must chech for other code, but that's all I remember, no cloned barracks or anything. _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
There was graphical mod somewhere which allows you built just units in your side colors.
This tag disallow one unit for countries in the list.

That does what holy_master is trying to avoid. It's from the capture pack BTW. _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
Lt Albrecht, what I *think* he wants to do, is have subfactions that can build thier units, and when you capture their buildings you can build their units. If you have the required houses tag, then only the owner country can build it. period. Capturing their buildings does not allow you to build their units.
"too bad if you use engineer capture conyard from another country you will not have their unit because i use "RequiredHouses" tag,then it will show all unit in each buildlist."-Holy_Master
using cloned buildings/prerequisite Override allows for being able to build another dude's units once you capture his buildings. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Actually no, from what I know of, you can't get a sides special unit by just capturing their buildings. The only structure that can allow that is the Tech Secret Lab in Yuri's Revenge, that'll give you a random pick of the special side units in it's list, which include the British Sniper, German Tank Destroyer, Korean Black Eagle, French Grand Cannon, Lybian Demo Truck, Russian Tesla Tank and the Iraqi Desolator. Unless you take away the required house tag, only the owner country can build their own special unit, or if you capture the Tech Secret Lab, which may even give you your own unit as your prize for capturing it. So if what Holy_Master is trying to do, make it so you can only build your units and no other side's units, I'd use the RequiredHouses= tag. There's my theory and possible idea, but those are my thoughts on this.
And for what DaFool said, he is pretty much, 100% correct to my mind. PrerequisiteOverride= tag and the cloned buildings will make it so that if you capture that building, you can build what ever it'll allow as long as you have the proper buildings captured or built for certian units. So I'm agreeing with DaFool, and my own theory; depending on what Holy_Master is trying to do.
Maybe Holy_Master should put in special units for if you have two differnt sides buildings, you get a special unit that uses both side's tech. Just a thought as well. ^_^ QUICK_EDIT
Or if hes only having 2 sides (GDI + Nod) why not utilise the 4th faction logic, and make each subfaction just another whole faction. Nobody will ever know. NPatch even supports more factions I believe.
Anyway yeah... you gotta reorder the [Countries] list to properly remove countries, else Random will always pick the wrong ones. I guess you did this though. QUICK_EDIT

You can't reorder the countries list using vanilla YRs. The game will crash. I know, I've tested it and it even said so in the ini comments. With NPatch, I don't know. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Are you willing to make (or show us) a unit list? If so, we can square this away. I can tell you how you should set up prerequisites (I could do it for you maybe next weekend). It all depends on how you want your sides' units to work. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
For units that appear in both barracks: Use Prerequisite= and Prerequisite Override
For units that appear in only one barracks: Use only Prerequisite=
For units that appear in both barracks but require multiple buildings: Make clones of the units and for each unit set the other house as the ForbiddenHouses=
-Legion of Steel Uses the Barracks called "Legion Barracks"
1)Marine*
Prerequisite=Terra Barracks
PrerequisiteOverride=Legion Barracks
2)Flak Soldier***
Prerequisite=Legion Barracks
3)Engineer*
Prerequisite=Terra Barracks
PrerequisiteOverride=Legion Barracks
4)Sniper***
Prerequisite=Lgion Barracks
5)Jackel Suit*
Prerequisite=Terra Barracks
PrerequisiteOverride=Legion Barracks
6)Commando*
Prerequisite=Terra Barracks
PrerequisiteOverride=Legion Barracks
*These can now be built with the presence of either barracks
**These require the Terra Barracks
***These Require the Legion Barracks
The above method will allow for what you want to do. If you want a unit to have more prerequisites than say, just the barracks,, then this is what you would have to do:
-Terra
1)Jackle Terra
Prerequisites=BARRACKS, GDI Radar Tower
ForbiddenHouses=Legion
2)Commando Terra
Prerequisites=BARRACKS, GDI Tech Center
ForbiddenHouses=Legion
-Legion
1)Jackle Legion
Prerequistes=BARRACKS, GDI Radar Tower
ForbiddenHouses=Terra
2)Commando Legion
Prerequisites=BARRACKS, GDI Tech Center
ForbiddenHouses=Terra
So in the above method you have a clone of each infantry. This method is used for the attack dogs. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
