TA modding help needed

[moderator]

1. Is there a way to remove certain units that come in downloaded packs, such as the VD pack, and keep others? (i.e., keep the 'Conrad' fast construction bot but remove the VD seaplane platform)

2. Is there a way to remove existing/traditional units/weapons, such as the 'Big Bertha' and other long-range cannons from the game?

probably by making your own mod, by opening the HPI/ufo files and selecting from there. All the .hpi .ufo .ccx are basically a type of zip files that contain other files. But I'm not modder, but it should be possible with little expertise.

Thank you. I will see how I go. For now I'm just trying to find a reliable version of HPIView!

Try disabling Big Berthas in the AI, by doing this:
