Changing Red Alert difficulty stats
How do I change the difficulty multipliers when making Red Alert singleplayer maps? I tried adjusting it at the map editor's INI section but didn't seem to work. Here's what I wrote:
[Difficult] Firepower=1.2 Groundspeed=1.2 Airspeed=1.2 BuildTime=.8 Armor=2.0 ROF=.8 Cost=.8 RepairDelay=.001 BuildDelay=.001 DestroyWalls=yes ContentScan=yes
Basically, I put the Easy multipliers on Hard and 2x more armor for testing purposes but my units are still handicapped on Hard. Does anyone know how to make it work?

I'm thinking you likely would need to add a rules.ini to a mod to be able to change the difficulty.
As that is likely something that is loaded only once i'm pretty sure

from rules.cpp in red alert folder /*********************************************************************************************** * RulesClass::Difficulty -- Fetch the various difficulty group settings. * * * * This routine is used to fetch the various group settings for the difficulty levels. * * * * INPUT: ini -- Reference to the INI database that has the difficulty setting values. * * * * OUTPUT: bool; Was the difficulty section found and processed. * * * * WARNINGS: none * * * * HISTORY: * * 09/10/1996 JLB : Created. * *=============================================================================================*/ bool RulesClass::Difficulty(CCINIClass & ini) { #if 0 Difficulty_Get(ini, Diff[DIFF_EASY], "Easy"); Difficulty_Get(ini, Diff[DIFF_NORMAL], "Normal"); Difficulty_Get(ini, Diff[DIFF_HARD], "Difficult"); #endif return(true); ####################################################### static void Difficulty_Get(CCINIClass & ini, DifficultyClass & diff, char const * section) { if (ini.Is_Present(section)) { diff.FirepowerBias = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "FirePower", 1); diff.GroundspeedBias = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "Groundspeed", 1); diff.AirspeedBias = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "Airspeed", 1); diff.ArmorBias = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "Armor", 1); diff.ROFBias = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "ROF", 1); diff.CostBias = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "Cost", 1); diff.RepairDelay = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "RepairDelay", ".02"); diff.BuildDelay = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "BuildDelay", ".03"); diff.IsBuildSlowdown = ini.Get_Bool(section, "BuildSlowdown", false); diff.BuildSpeedBias = ini.Get_Fixed(section, "BuildTime", 1); diff.IsWallDestroyer = ini.Get_Bool(section, "DestroyWalls", true); diff.IsContentScan = ini.Get_Bool(section, "ContentScan", false); }

Hmm I thought simply putting the difficulty stats at the .ini section would change it, at least that's how I saw the Brothers In Arms mission tweaked the GroundSpeed for easy and hard.

Thanks, anyway ^ ^

It might be loaded per mission , i didn't chase it that far back.

I don't know if you have added all 3 sections or not
[Easy]
[Normal]
[Difficult]

Also "ContentScan=yes" is not in my difficult section of my rules.ini

Wasn't that exactly the part that didn't work in the Remaster which made the Brothers in Arms mission malfunction?

And yea, RA savegames don't contain the whole mission; they need the original mission file to load properly, and I think the rules is the thing it actually rereads from that.
