203 + arty Options

[Poskov]

I'm having problems with the nod arty and the latest Westwood TS patch;

After the patch, the arty becomes really pathetic

I tried to change the WH and weapon but it stayed the same.

well i removed it in a crude way but so far i have found no problems, if you dont want to write a tut and we decide its worth addding i could always put one together if you supply the edits, etc you'll still get credited of course

It's actually very easy to remove a hardcoded limitation.
Just search for the ID of the object in the game.exe and rename the ID there.

e.g. change all appearances of HMEC in game.exe into XYZW (stands only one time in the exe anyway). Then the game is forced to read the HMEC entry from rules.ini again.
The same works also for the Artillery 155MM weapon and ARTYHE warhead.

1. A Hex editor. There are multiple free ones available, look at the TS modding tools topic. (IDA pro or another disassembler for advanced editing, but don't bother if you haven't heard about exe editing before)

2. patch.mix -> ai.ini or TIBSUN.mix -> local.mix -> ai.ini (use XCC Mixer)
