OpenRA

Crates Crates are lots of fun but they do mess up the balance, 1000 extra credits can give a big edge early game. I've tried to make crates more fair so that there should be less reason to turn them off. I haven't changed the crate amount, two of them are still dropped at minute 1, 3, 5, 7 etc like...

there is no trait that gives extra vision if you have a certain upgrade and there is no other trait that gives or takes away that upgrade depending on if the building has power or not. Both of these things are supported on the bleed version / next release. Awesome! The new upgrade system seems exci...

I wanted to have Radar Dome provide extra vision for all buildings in my overhaul but couldn't do it because there is no trait that gives extra vision if you have a certain upgrade and there is no other trait that gives or takes away that upgrade depending on if the building has power or not. The pl...

Fixed death animations I noticed OpenRA uses some incorrect death animations, specifically for BulletDeath used by several small caliber weapons such as Tanya's Colt45, Rifle Infantry's M1Carbine and Spy's SilencedPPK. In vanilla OpenRA people will be gibbed upon being killed by BulletDeath instead...

Duck and cover A couple of attacks have been made single target yet more of a cause to prone. Rocket Soldier attacks: Same AOE causing damage but soldiers a little further from impact will now lie down on the ground as well, there's after all an explosion nearby. Rifle Infantry attacks: In vanilla ...

Selling structures When you sell buildings in OpenRA the refund amount depens on how much health the building has left. In vanilla the game also uses the building cost and/or refund amount (can be configured in the .yaml files) to determine what infantry units the building should spawn upon selling...

Armed civilian In vanilla the armed civilian will always look the same however sometimes he is not armed. In overhaul he is always armed so you immediately know how many armed civilians you have simply by looking at your group of civilians. I've also buffed the Pea-Shooter Pistol. In vanilla it doe...

Civilian people Civilians no longer gives experience points. In vanilla when you sell structures and gain civilians these will drop like flies to a single enemy Rifle Infantry. First of all it doesn't really make sense that he learns anything from basically just executing people. Second of all it m...

Civilian houses In vanilla nothing happens when you destroy a house, in overhaul doing so will spawn civilians most of the time. Houses that are just 1 cell has 66% chance to spawn 1 civilian. Houses that are 2 or 4 cells can spawn 1, 2 or 3 civilians at variable chances (I don't feel like calculat...

Thanks, I'm always interested in hearing more opinions! Church When destroyed the Church will always spawn a Priest (civilian) and an Alms Crate so you can steal money from the poor just like you could in the original Red Alert game (in OpenRA's vanilla Red Alert mod nothing spawns from destroying a...

Uzbekistan My suggestion for the third Soviet faction has a focus on early expansion and hybrid technologies. [tab]Architect Replaces the Engineer and is exactly the same except that it also works as a base provider, meaning you can place buildings next to it. Cost is 500 credits if you have no Arc...

Just a heads up that we noticed a dedicated server for this mod was sending invalid game advertisements to the master server. This was causing problems for our monitoring tasks, so we are now rejecting connections from that IP. If the server admin can fix the problem and let us know then we can unb...

I like that you did changes to zombies. Maybe you could add zombie infection logic too. Sounds like a fun idea, can't believe I didn't think about it. Instead I've changed other things about the zombies to make them more useful, they might become too strong if they also duplicate when killing infan...

Glad you three agree! I've put up a dedicated server for Overhaul now. It's in Sweden but hopefully the connection is good enough for it to be used overseas as well. It's an old machine running Windows 2003 but I think it has enough juice in it to manage OpenRA. For anyone wondering how I got it run...
