hhm its notable , that this prolly only works on savegames that work with a engine programmed with c , wich is a verry limited amount of games, unless you play budgetgames. (im not sure at all though, dont flame me if im wrong :-) ) but this is generaly a good tuturial for a basic computer skill wich is using notepad to edit unkown formats, such as : .cfg, map, .mfc, .script and a whole lot of more , these are only the ones i actualy know that work in some games, for example i use wordpad to edit the .cfg's in my quake engine. some notable pointers for improvement of this tutorial are that instead of normal wordpad you can better use : wordpad mfc, as it cleans out "tab spaces" (no idee what the english word is) if you use normal wordpad in some situations you get all the text cramped together on 1 sentence filled with black dots , if you use wordpad mfc , then those black dots are translated into difrent lines.

man, u should of tell the people how to add a new unit/building, and stuff like that, not cheat. if the game is too hard, learn a strategy. I agree that classics campaigns are the hardest, but u can download the expansions(tad is the easiest)

The game Renegade Paintball had come config file that you could edit and change almost anything. I made all the guns fire perfectly, as in they instantly hit exactly where you point them :P

Y'all are missing the point. belligerentbanana has shown us how to do it, not what to do. It never occurred to me that it could be done, but now I know better. Experiment and see what you get. As long as you have the original CD you should be fine.

Cool, but what do I change? This is actually a cool discovery.
Feb 13, 2008. 10:47 AMPetervG says:
It's not helpful by saying "Fine the part you want to change, And type in the new stuff"
Feb 13, 2008. 2:17 PMWolf Seril says:
This is great until the driver cross checks it with the information on the CD, realizes you CANT have 50 billion gold, and then refuses to run your game. That, or it just automatically runs your original game instead of the copy you made.

Good idea, i usually find using cheat engine a lot easier
