Me and my friends play C&C with shockwave and we are usually used to £100,000 and we was wondering is there any possible alteration we can modify that will allow us to have £100,000 instead of £50,000.
Thanks

If you have minimal Modding Knowledge, you can change the Money over the "Multiplayer.INI".

I think there was also another way wich didn't include Modding. but I forgot what you need to do to get more money ...

Go to "Data\INI\multiplayer.ini" and add this:

MultiplayerStartingMoneyChoice
  Value = 100000
End


Edit: Moved to Zero:Hour Editing.

Or, you can go to the ZH folder in your My Documents and find network.ini if you're playing through network or Hamachi. Look for StartingCash and change it to whatever you like.

You need FinalBIG to extract the INIs from the INI.big, or for generals: Zero:Hour INIZH.big.

Thanks

I use hamachi.
We both edited the network file and neither of us can use the 100k starting value just 50k maximum.

Would you mind sending me your Multiplayer.ini File?
I could edit it and resend it back to you so you could use it.

Well there are two ways how we can do it.

1: You download a Programm called " FinalBig " and open with that the File " INIZH.Big ". It's in your Zero Hour directory.
Then you extract the " Multiplayer.ini " from there and either edit it by copying the Money Values and editing them, or you could also send me the .ini so I could do it.

or

2: Simply upload INIZH.big on a Filehoster, give me the download Link and I do the rest. Posted Image

Here you go.
Simply place this "Data" Folder into your Main Directory of Zero Hour.
It will probably ask you if you want to overwrite some Files, make BackUps incase there is any need to.

Then simply go to Skirmish and see if you can select up to 100.000$, if yes then it obviously worked. :D

I am not entirerly sure, but I think it would be better to send it to him.
Just to be on the safe side.

By modding it, you might cause mismatches. I think your edit of the network.ini worked, but you just can't see it. whatever custom you set, the game will show in the starting cash option as 10k. Just start the game and see if your edit really worked.

I would like to thank everyone for there replies as soon as my cousin gets online. Ill test it out with him also.
The mod that EVE supplied worked with a network game by myself and therefore it should work with my cousin if he uses the mod also.
Kind Regards
