Hello everyone!

Tutorials Vault is a place where the community shares their modding knowledge by posting tutorials. In order to everything run smoothly and in a pleasant way, we have some rules that must be followed. Read them carefully before posting a new topic or replying to an existing one.

1) New Topics must be tutorials only. Anything that is not a tutorial will either be moved to Red Alert 2 Editing Forum or Crap Forum, without warning.

2) Requests for tutorials should be done only in the stickied topic called Tutorial Requests. Do not post them anywhere else, in order to keep the forum organized.

3) All tutorials posted here must have the authorization from its creator. Do not copy tutorials from other places without the permission from the person who wrote it. This is considered a crime here and the offender can be punished with a suspensions or a life-time ban.

4) The title of any tutorial posted here must be able to sum the purpose of the tutorials to the readers. The presence of stars (from 1 to 5) representing the difficulty level is optional, but recommended.

5) This forum follows the global rules of the PPM forums, which means that flames, warez, adult, pornographic material and any illegal content to the US laws are not tolerated, spam and offtopicness might be eliminated or crapped with no warning.

6) Don't post complete object code without explaining what flags are necessary and what they do. The main objective of these tutorials is to allow people to understand what is being done and how these flags work.

In short, the rules are simple. Respect them and you'll be certainly be respected here and have a nice staying here. Enjoy the forum!

Hmm, a slight question. Aren't torrents legal in the USA? Because then I could post some tutorials on how to find cheap (read: free) C&C games.

Nothing is legal in the USA, even breathing.

(There's a possible difference of legality between a .torrent file and its contents.)

Free C&C games qualifies as warez, if you use torrent or whatever else you use to find them and we do not tolerate them here.

I propose a new rule (in fact, I don't know why it wasn't here before, it certainly qualifies).

Don't post complete object code without explaining what flags are necessary and what they do. Anyone posting full code for simple "copy and paste this hurr im a durr" without explaining it will be subject to verbal abuse.

Agreed, copy and paste serves no purpose other then to make newbs more clueless about modding.

It took me 9 years to pay attention to this new proposed rule from DCoder. And while I agree that people shouldn't post the whole object code without explaining what flags are necessary, I completely disagree at the verbal abuse. Verbal abuse contradicts the rule #5 (no flames will be tolerated). So, yea, I've edited the 6th rule above today.

Is there any way to create a superweapon, where you can deploy it, causing units/ structures to go invisible for 30 seconds or so

This forum is for posting tutorials not asking general questions, also breaking the rules in the topic about the rules...
