Rules.ini?

Post by foul_owl »

I have googled a bit, but have only found:
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/C&C-RULES.INI

I note that it says "If placed in game directory, it will not override built in values."

I am assuming therefore that there is no rules.ini support? If not, I am considering adding a bounty for this feature.

Thanks!

OpenRA's rules setup is exposed as .yaml files, which are far more flexible than the old rules.ini. You can find them inside the mods/ra/rules etc subdirectory in your OpenRA installation directory.

OpenRA is at it's core far different than RA2.

The YAML system is a flexible (albeit very WIP) system built around a concept of inheritance and modular library support, while RA2 is based around hardcoded lists in specifically named (and very messy) INI files defining very specific things.

Getting either to even work with the other is insanely implausible at best.
