Multiple superweapons of the same type?

Evening all

On the OpenRA title screen it shows three nukes launching one after the other...is that actually something that can be achieved in game?

Whenever I've built more than one silo it doesn't seem to make any change to the game...no extra nuke button and it doesn't affect the countdown speed (exactly like the base game if I remember rightly!).

Thanks!

No, that's a scripted special. It would be possible to have more than one with some rules changes.

Ah OK, thanks for the quick reply!

Is there an easy to change the rules a bit? I see there is a tick box in the game to allow cheats but I have no idea what the cheats are. I've had a look using Google but haven't come up with anything.

I remember years ago editing medium tanks in the original C&C to move at the speed of an Orca and fired Obelisk lasers...might be fun to mess about with the settings again!

Cheats activate a menu (more some kind of a developer mode).

You are looking for the https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Modding-Guide and https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Mapping Documentation is bad (help wanted *hint*), but editing the YAML files is straight forward if you already know how it was done in INI times.

Ooooh thanks very much, I'll have a look!

I have no idea how it was done in ini times, I used an editor, I think it was called CCEdit...but an ini is basically a glorified txt so it shouldn't be too hard...I hope!
