---------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys, thanks for downloading the v 2.5 Alpha of my mod. I’ll release a Beta when I’ve got some people that help me out with some problems (problems below). In v2.5 Alpha I’ve added loads of new units and changed ore and gems value, the battle-lab-capture infantry and side units. The LASER LAUNCHER is now a secret unit. Solve the puzzle and find the secret. I’ve changed a lot of other units and even changed the paradrop stuff. I’ve given each country also his own abilities. Scroll down and see what I’ve changed. I’ve also changed the ai.ini for ultimate destruction attack groups.

In 2.5 Alpha are also 5 extra maps to play with (3 specially made for WFS)

Announcement: I need an ai.ini editor becoz the enemy doesn’t attack with black eagles in place of PrismPlanes. The computer thinks it’s still Koreans special unit.

Announcement 2: I need someone who can help me with the rules.ini coz the radiation artillery doesn’t work.

Announcement 3: I need an art.ini editor coz I think the problems with the NovaStar mech is something with the art.ini.

I’ll put the ones that help me in the credits of 2.5, and get a exclusive map for Ra2.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The descriptions of these are under -specials changes-.

Aegis cruiser. Shoots more missiles and missiles are faster and deadlier. $1750

Gap Generator. Is now a Cloak Generator, which cloaks an area in place of jamming the radar so if you are in a cloaked base you also can’t target buildings! $6000

Patriot Missile. Lots stronger. Still $1000

Harrier: is now the PPX-33 Prism Plane with a very strong laser. $3000

-Specials changes-

The LASER LAUNCHER is now a secret unit. Discover it.

Korea: has now the NovaStar Mech:

Primary: Maelstrom
Secondary: RedEye2E
Elite primary: MaelstromE
Size: 5 (place it takes in a hovercraft)
Cost: 4000

^^^^When this unit is shooting the game might crash!^^^^


Germany: has now the PrismAssault Siege Tank

Primary: BLKBEAM* (my own weapon)
Elite primary: BLKBEAME* (my own weapon)
Size: 4
Cost: 3250

* It’s supposed to be black but it didn’t work so it’s white. (And flashing! =D) now the weapon is an upgraded version of the Lazer Commando’s.


Cuba: has the Radiation Artillery

Cost: 2200
Size: 4
Primary: 175mmR
Elite Primary: 190mmR

-lab-capture-infantry descriptions-

Atom Trooper: has a nuclear weapon: the Experimental AtomRifle, which leaves shells that explode and create a radiation field. Has no anti air weapon though. $1000

Chrono Lazer Commando: the same as the original Chrono Commando but has another weapon: the “Lazerdoom” PrismAssault Rifle. $3000

Nuclear Air Trooper: this Rocketeer isn’t equipped with a rocket launcher, but with a gun that fires nanonukes, highly explosive nano technology bombs. They’re so small so they can’t be seen and can be fired very fast. When he’s elite he gets a nano-nuke-scatter-gun, which shoots 5 nanonukes at a time, which will scatter. Highly destructive weapon. However, the bombs can’t be launched at aircraft becoz the air trooper knows he will not hit it. Planes are just too fast.

Shock Commando: very well trained tesla trooper with the experimental XDT-02 Tesla Assault Rifle. The weapon is in burst mode: it will fire three shots at a time. (Just like a M16 in burst mode) It has also advanced armour. The TitanArmor is made of 20 cm thick titanium. $3000

Weather control. Not 10:00 but 8:00 reload time.

-Known Bugs-

The game crashes sometimes if the NovaStar mech tries to shoot.

Allied countries don’t attack by air.

Sometimes units are build too fast and then is the other unit not yet out of the war factory and then the unit you bought disappears but you’ve paid money for it.

Radiation Artillery isn’t in the game so Cuba has NO special unit.

If the missile trooper becomes elite the game crashes (or SEAL, I dunno)

-Credits-
I have to thank ULTIMAR235 a lot becoz I used his maelstrom mech, the Cluster=xxx code in the Rules.ini, the very, very, very cool mini nuke explosion, and loads more!
(Ultimar235, if you read this, I have you to say that I wanted to ask if I may use your VXLs but you didn’t put your Email address in the readme of Black Missile and I tried to make contact with you in a comment I posted on FileFront. But you didn’t respond so I thought, I will just use it and put him in big, bold, letters in the credits list)

I thank myself for the b-e-a-utiful screenshots and making this mod and testing this mod.

I think this is everything.


HAVE FUN.
