Disable Housecolor still possible?

[myles_2k2]

Hi Guy's, just a lttle question about simple moddin. In C&C3 (also on Kane's Wrath) I was able to disable the housecolor through a simple line editing of the misc.big file containing the Data/gamedata/INI. It was just this little line in the INI file which i modified:

EnableHouseColor = No (the original was:Yes)

Is this still possible in Red Alert 3?

I am just a little turned off by the overly-done Housecolor/team color. Cant appreciate the nice unit graphics anymore. I only want to enable this in SP Campaign so it will look more cinematics http://www.cncgames.com/news/data/emoticons/smile.gif

and btw, the BIG's can still be opened by the old c&c3 tools...

Whoa there, you are WAY ahead of yourself, buddy. The game has only been out for a day, it isn't moddable yet (Even if you can open up the BIGs, you won't get it to work). Wait until RA3 gets a MOD SDK, THEN we can talk about modding.

I know its too early to mod RA3 but i was thinking if it was possible with C&C3 Tiberium Wars how could it not be with RA3? I'll tell you that a day after i've got that game (C&C3) i've come across that Misc.Big containing the gamedata/ini file which i've modified to overide the housecolor/team color. Even without the SDK and by only using the first version of the big opener that can open the demo Bigs of C&C3? The same also goes with Kane's wrath, which i' was able to do the same overide for disabling the housecolor.

I was Just hoping/presuming that since most of the file structures remains the same, i'd just like to know what file has replaced the configuration settings that were there in that Misc.Big. Partucularly the Data/gamedata/INI. What file replaced its function?

any hint from the Mod Guru's would difinitely start the ball rolling in modding this great game:yummy:

Can't find any similar files to the Data/gamedate/INI in the Misc.Big anymore. Anybody who has played the Beta or have tried any simple mod for this game? I really wanna play without the darn housecolors. the Housecolors takes away the nice cinematics graphics of the units. I haven't played the Single Player Campaign yet coz I want to play the story mode without those housecolors. Any help will be much appreciated.:)

RA3 actually has a different data structure, and even an entirely different game engine. It is similar in some ways, but significantly different.
