Rules Explanation

[Gobalopper]

Ok this post is for everyone who is still having problems with the Rules.txt file or just haven't tried yet. The basics I have figured out, I still don't have the game though :), is that there are two files called model0001.rfh or .rfd in the datamodel directory. I believe somehow the guys over at Emp:C&C extracted the information out of .rfd file and created the two "rules" files, I'm guessing since if you look closely at the .rfh file you will notice that it mentions Rules.txt and ArtIni.txt.

So from what I can see placing edited versions of those two files in your datamodel directory will over-ride what is already there. Sounds a little complicated? Well if you want the simple answer, download the Rules.txt and ArtIni.txt files and simply put them in that directory, after that any changes you make to them should show up in the game as well. Ok? Well how about some screenshots then?

Tainacher answered the call earlier for screenshots of the pre-order units and has come through nicely with five shots of the units in action.

Atreides Air Drone - Atreides Air Drone - Atreides Air Drone - Ordos AAMine - Harkonnen ADP

He also had this to say about the three units:

Atreides Air Drone - Kicks asses! blows away any other airunit, e.g. carryalls. An ultimate ruler unit!

Harkonnen Air Defense Plattform - Cool defense against groundunits. Cool animation. Dont know if it works against airunits, but i think so.

Ordos AAMine - Hmm what do u think is this?? :)

Thanks again to Tainacher and let us know if you find anything else interesting about the game. Look at this my copy JUST arrived... see you in a few weeks. :)

Update: Well cancel that idea, my CD case doesn't have a serial number on it?! What are the chances of that happening? Maybe it was written in invisible ink? Does anyone else who pre-ordered from EA.com not have a serial number? Well at least I can listen to the music CD. :)
