Carpet Bombing

This tutorial will show you how to enable the Carpet Bombing superweapon in Generals.

First of all open the file FactionBuilding.ini located in DataINIObject. Find this bit of code:

DisplayName = OBJECT:Airfield
Side = America

Under that entry find this line:

; *** ENGINEERING Parameters ***

This defines the special parameters for this building. Under this section find:

RadarPriority = STRUCTURE
KindOf = PRELOAD STRUCTURE SELECTABLE IMMOBILE AIRFIELD SCORE CAPTURABLE FS_FACTORY MP_COUNT_FOR_VICTORY AUTO_RALLYPOINT
Body = StructureBody ModuleTag_10
MaxHealth = 1500.0
InitialHealth = 1500.0
End

Add this after it:

Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_23
SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponCarpetBomb
OCL = SUPERWEAPON_CarpetBomb
End

Now find this:

; Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_23;this has been removed from everywhere but the ChinaAirfield in CHI05
; SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponCarpetBomb
; OCL = SUPERWEAPON_CarpetBomb
; CreateLocation = CREATE_AT_EDGE_NEAR_SOURCE
; End

Replace it with this:

Behavior = OCLSpecialPower ModuleTag_23
SpecialPowerTemplate = SuperweaponCarpetBomb
OCL = SUPERWEAPON_CarpetBomb
CreateLocation = CREATE_AT_EDGE_NEAR_SOURCE
End

Save the file and close it. Now open CommandSet.ini located in DataINI. Find this:

CommandSet AmericaAirfieldCommandSet

Under that entry find this line:

8 = Command_UpgradeAmericaLaserMissiles

Add this line after it:

9 = Command_CarpetBomb

Save the file and close it. Now open SpecialPower.ini located in DataINI. Find this:

SpecialPower SuperweaponCarpetBomb

Under that entry find this line:

;;;RequiredScience = SCIENCE_CarpetBomb;;; Never ever ever use a required science with a public timer, since the hiddenbyscience never clears

Delete it.

Now find this line under the same entry:

PublicTimer = Yes

Change it to:

PublicTimer = No

Done. You have now successfully enabled the Carpet Bombing superweapon.
