OpenRA

I've added support for new theaters to my RA95 patch. The new theaters I want to support are winter and desert from C&C95. I was wondering if you're interested in working on this. I already have a partially converted winter and desert theater made by Allen262. You can find me on the OpenRA IRC chann...

I haven't worked on this for a while and I'm not sure I will. I've been patching the original Red Alert, making it modular, easy to download, install, configure etc.

A video showing some of the stuff I have now:

I've been playing around with some speed changes and UI (mostly sidebar changes), I got to tweak a bunch of stuff and the power bar is bugged over badly, the sidebar is starting to resemble the RA2 one. And I've also been doing a few code changes here and there, a major one is making projectiles tar...

I'm gonna assume that means it was a one time crash? That sucks.

Thanks for reporting.

What do you mean with that? Did the game crash after you placed one? Could you paste the content of exception.log in your my documents\openRA\Logs folder if this is the case?

Huh?

Uploaded the first alpha here, expect many bugs and crashes!

Your feedback and bug reports are appreciated.

I placed the project on Github!

Thanks will do that in a bit. After a conversation with a Red Alert 1 player it appears mplayer.ini gets used after the Aftermath expansion is installed, either during skirmish or online play. Edit: Need to be signed in to Github to edit the file, so I'll do that tomorrow I'll guess. Changing the se...

@Cmd. Matt: I'll try out those sequence changes, thanks!. How do I submit a patch? Has been a while since I used Git and I wasn't really good at it. I'll get my mod on Github tomorrow hopefully. @psydev: Thanks for the feedback! If you want to help me out or have anything to contribute from your cla...

That patch helps but after applying it, the game will still crash because the ice tiles have no sequences. I fixed it by adding the following to sequences.yaml, but I don't know if these values are correct : ice01: idle: Start: 0 ice02: idle: Start: 0 ice03: idle: Start: 0 ice04: idle: Start: 0 ice0...

Actually it looks like mplayer.ini nerfs the Allies more so I'm not sure about including the changes, although I did add all of them.

@Cmd. Matt: Thanks, I'll take a look at it. BTW did you modify any of the menu/HUD/sidebar code for OpenD2k?

Interestingly Aftermath RE-modifies the modified mplayer.ini value, with a comment about it from Westwood in aftermath.ini: ; This needs to be re-set from its modified mplayer.ini values [TurretGun] Burst=1 Damage=40 ROF=50 Range=6 Projectile=Cannon Speed=40 Warhead=AP Report=TURRET1 Anim=GUNFIRE I'...

When my mod reaches a state where it's decent I'll start a ModDB profile and get it listed over there.

Thanks for the work maintaining the OpenRA page of ModDB.
