Re: How do add custom traits?

Custom traits need to be written in the C# programming language. You can't just write stuff there and assume them working. Based on the PMs we had a few days ago... while I am impressed you care about what --check-yaml outputs and you put effort into fixing those, I'm not sure if you're able to comp...

Re: Mission Tutorial Guide

In your own settings.yaml within My Documents/OpenRA (varies on OS though, your home/OpenRA folder on Linux).

Re: ClassicProductionQueue Strange Phenomenon

The fact that Nod is horribly offseted already implies to me that something is VERY wrong in the YAML coding there. Although bumping the game to playtest and to the new Observer UI might fix it altogether. I can even imagine with those weird offsets that the Allied/Soviet queues just run out of the ...

Re: Animated Tiles/TileSet possible?

The best idea I can think of which doesn't need coding tricks would be periodically detonating an ownerless weapon with Lua from the world actor and chaining the animation to it.

Re: BotModule for DeliverCash & DeliverExperience in the future?

You should use Lua for these cases. These two have little actual use anyway. I mean... if players don't rely on these stuff, why should the AI do?

Re: Faction flag question

Another option is to duplicate the YAML units of this faction and set them up so they are necessary to be destroyed for winning the game (via the MustBeDestroyed trait).

Haven't looked into the details, but this a bit like https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/9056.

Re: [Mod] OpenSC

You use assets from Starcraft Remastered instead of the original. Wonderful.

Blizzard have already C&Dd mods which used stripped Starcraft voiceovers, well before the Activision era.
Wandering NoiseGenerator is actually correct for once.

Re: OpenRA - A deep dive into its source-code

VS2015 only supports .NET Core 1.X. You'll need to bump it in the foreseeable future to atleast 2017 though.

Re: Black screen on startup

Ronald, DirectX has nothing to do with this game and IIRC the DirectX renderer was dropped in 2012 or around that date. DirectX is a closed-source limited-to-Microsoft environment which does not worth the maintenance and effort necessary for a separate renderer option when all target systems have op...

Re: [Solved] - Ore and Gem value on a map

The problem with all this is that OpenRA does not store how much resource was placed on to a cell and instead derives the amount of layers from how many nearby resource cells were there and decides this upon map load which necessitates the wide lazy rounded ore blobs in maps and makes small patches ...

Re: How can I change the color / tileset of a map

Notepad++ is commonplace for Windows. YAMLs are just shiny text files anyway - the reason plain Notepad wouldn't work with them, is because OpenRA uses Linux line ending and Notepad show the whole text as one really long line as a result.

I got used to Komodo Edit in the last few years myself though.

Re: How can I change the color / tileset of a map

If it's the color brightness alone - map lighting is a thing now, so just use GlobalLightingPaletteEffect.
