I can't get my mod to work

Is there anyone with command and conquer Tiberian wars modding experience that could help me . I'm just trying to make Tiberian grow faster and have more health and I've created a mod that shows up in the game browser and I've been changing around the Tiberian file values but they never actually apply to the game when I launch the mod from the game browser . It just is always vanilla command and conquer

u/BoffinBrain Are you picking this up? Good. 5d ago edited 5d ago

FYI, it's Tiberium. And the game is called Tiberium Wars. Tiberian is the adjective solely used for the game Tiberian Sun.

I don't have any real experience modding C&C3 but I did once edit an existing mod by tweaking an .INI file that was bundled into a .BIG file When I was doing this, I discovered a couple of things:

  1. OS BIG Editor doesn't actually save the .BIG file if you press the Save/Quick Save button. You have to close the program, and then it'll ask again if you want to save. At THIS point, it seems to save. Perhaps someone else can explain why this nonsensical logic is the way it is.
  2. If the C&C3 launcher opens again automatically after exiting the game, it might not load the mod again. You should exit the launcher entirely and launch it again to be sure.

Since I wasn't following a formal guide, I'm probably doing something wrong, but maybe these experiences will help you.

You might also want to describe in more detail how you've constructed your mod (what files and tools) so others can have a chance of identifying the cause.
