This is a fairly minor thing but I think it's better off fixed than unfixed.

The Nod Rocket soldier has a bug in its points (the FUD clan found it years ago but I don't think anybody really cared); GDI barely gets any points damaging him, they only get the kill points. You ought to get about 23 points killing him (10% of the unit cost, as is the case for all other priced infantry, give or take one point for rounding)

could someone knock up a quick fix for this?

meh i find it fine tbh, gdi has an advantage over nod when it comes to infantry anyways, might aswell compensate a bit... even tho its in a rather weird and somewhat useless way

think of field... with the new clanwars settings nod occasionally does use a rocket soldier (kill the other day?)

imagine if you can a last-minute point race. we've gotten rid of the bullshit like sniping tanks; if rocket soldiers are being used then they ought to yield the right points when they're killed.

i have won field games by 1 point before...

if nod gets a rocket guy in tunnel... gdi should get a gunner in tunnel to counter it(shouldn't be a problem at all) and just keep 2 meds in field to keep nod off the harv/buildings

many thanks reborn.

hitman, that surely doesn't invalidate the argument... i think it's quite good that a rocket soldier can be considered a legitimate tactic.

No problem...

You're right, the Nod rocket guy has no damage points assigned to him. The direct counter-part on GDI has a value of 0.05, with the Gunner being worth 0.07. It makes sense to me that he should be worth 0.05 too. Would you agree?

I would prefer to make something useful, something that lets server owners define presets in a list themselves, then let that list define the keys in the ini file. This way you could add preset names to a list, then have that list create valid key names so you can add entries for other presets to change there Damage Points too. However, I do not think I can have the list define variables like that...
I may have to create a static list of preset names. But I really wish I could think of a way to do what I just explained. :-/

And while your knocking those points up could you make the 8 free soldiers return 0 points to match 10% of their cost?
k thanks

I THINK THE GAME WILL BE MORE BALANCED IF WE DISABLE POINTS. THEN WHEN TWO EXACTLY EQUALLY SKILLED TEAMS PLAY ON-LINE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO BITCH ABOUT MAKING 2 EXTRA POINTS WHEN SHOOTING WITH A GUN THAT DOES 2 LESS DAMAGE!

if you set it for 0.05 then i guess the total kill points would even out to 22/23? if so then that's right.
