Can someone make the Units Cap infinite?

Interesting solution. I will try it.

Wow, interesting solution. I think I will need to try it.

I admit, unpacking & changing a few rulesets & then repacking them & getting your friends (& foe) to download the same rulesets is much more easier then unpacking, tweaking, & then repacking lots of maps.

Hello, I have a question, how is the realism mod installed? I have seen videos where they only show how it is downloaded after that, I would just like someone to tell me how to put the realism mod

The game's default population limit is 70. This increments by 1 for every unit you own, including buildings and heroes. All units cost the same, which is 1 single command cost.

Just a small correction: the unit cap is actually 75, which I've confirmed by changing Sarge's command cost to 75; result I can't even build my HQ. In DR2, there's a code in the file unitlimits.cfg which reads

Code: Select all

Limit(150). 

Changing the number in the parentheses will change the default unit limit. However, this code does not work in AMRTS.

However, unit cap can be changed for each player in each mission by following these steps:

In game.cfg, state a starting objective for each player:

Code: Select all

    Objectives()
    {
      ReaperId(3475);
    }

Note: The ReaperId can be any unique number.

Then in objects.cfg, create a starting objective:

Code: Select all

CreateObject("objective_start_player_1", 3475)
{
  ObjectiveObj()
  {
    Condition();
  }
}

Then code the objective's action:

Code: Select all

CreateObjectType("objective_start_player_1", "Objective")
{
  Condition("TRUE");

  Action()
  {
    SetUnitLimit(200);
  }
}

Dear.
I have been reads your guide but I think some confuse...

How to embed this code into game compiled resource ?
Does we will going to use any tool ? Please share my tool/guide if that use tool. Thanks !

There currently isn't a way to recompile the game's source for now. The methods listed here are currently the only solutions for now. If you want the easiest solution, then I would recommend that you simply create a folder in your game's directory called 'base' and inside that folder have a file called 'unitlimit.cfg'. Then you can change this limit to whatever you want. Although keep in mind changing something as integral as the unit limit will cause desyncs online unless you provide your mod to all other players.

Contents of unitlimt.cfg should be as such:

Code: Select all

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Pandemic Studios
//
// Unit Construction Limits
//

Limit(70);

70 is the default, change it however you like. If you want unlimited units, then simply change it to an extreme number such as 9,999,999 to preclude ever hitting it.
