If you do a File->Export in TibEd, you can export your changes to a (empty) folder, which will contain 4 files (or more): rules.ini, art.ini, sound.ini and tibeddel.txt. If you distribute the ini files into his RA2 folder, you'll have the same mod. tibeddel.txt is for internal TibEd usage.
I still haven't got round to making a "Deploy" program, and I don't see that I will get the time to do this (I'm really short on time at the moment)
> My bigger question is:
> Have youu made a general forum where people can share the wacky things they've been able to do with TibEd. If not on your sight, then perhaps someone else posts such a thing? Simply that, yes, we can all do basic stuff. Make GIs 5 credits, give tanks machine guns, make enginers explode in a nuke blast when they die. But I'd like a place to share ideas, spawn wackyness. Which will give us all more options, and through options offer us the ability to balance our own games more. In part, because I don't think we should all be bothering you with trouble shooting our edits.
You're looking for an editing forum... There used to be a forum like this on RA2Mods.com, but it has desintegrated.
Perhaps I should set up a new forum for this. Hmmm. Any more thoughts on this matter? I could try to set up a new editing forum community... not sure if it'd work but I could try. Do you have any suggestions on which forum to use? XCC isn't handy for that because it can't search. How about IkonBoard? Check out http://www.ra2mods.com because they have it at this moment. Is that forum OK?
> Mainly, how do i use paradrop as a weapon? My main desire was to have aircraft carriers launch transportplanes (cargo planes? can't figure which?)and drop paratroops. using the hornet launch, i can get them to come out. but they just fire missles at the target, and then don't re-land, but rather hover over the carrier.
> If hornet launch paradrops aren't do-able. i'll take buildable paradrop cargo planes on the air pad. or night hawks that "fire" the para drop weapon. American, or regular. Right now I'm just looking for a starting point.

> Any help you can offer here would be great, and the exchange list sounds like a really good idea. not just what people have done, but how they've done it.

> Thank you for everything. $10 doesn't even cover the value of the program, never mind further assistance.

> email responses are welcome.
