OpenRA

It looks interesting!
For example, about new units.
I never understood about palettes and so on. I mean, I don't understand enough.

Not bad to read it in text (not only video).

Thank you very much for the big answer!

Just up.
With little hope of an answer :-)

Wow! Cool!

Does it work with Dune2000?
Or only RA?

About picture.

In this case, I suppose, it needs edit the end of your URL.

For example:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HJ7a9NPW4AAURbO?format=jpg&name=900x900

Replace
HJ7a9NPW4AAURbO?format=jpg&name=900x900
HJ7a9NPW4AAURbO.jpg

And use tag img .

I remember about Dune2000 by OpenRa. I have just recall, I mean. I recently remembered.

And now I'm trying to make a mission. From a map from original Dune.
I can convert the map. With utility.

But I have no expirience about creation of AI files, bots etc.
Is there any documentation? Or working ...

Interesting idea!

Maybe I will remember Dune2000 and will make something similar too. With Ornithopther.

How did you find OpenRA?

I suppose, I read about it in forum of Dune2000 (forum.dune2k.com)
circa 2015.

Dune2000 by OpenRA was not quite good in 2015.
Later, near 2020, I was looking for something under Linux. And OpenRa became much better.

However, performance can degrade once the size gets extreme, and it's often better to keep maps on the tighter side for gameplay anyway.


I am agree. Too big map can decrease playability.

This is rather boring — to wait while your units move across a huge map.
Especially if you have big ...

I am modding Dune 2000. Just for myself and just for fun. Rarely. From time to time.

Actually I registered here in „OpenRA Resource Center“ (where users can share his maps)... but practically I nothing upload there.

I have several interesting ideas, I suppose. But, as you say:
this is a niche ...

i want to add breifing text

In the file:
rules.yaml

Something like this (in the yaml code): where \n is sign for new line.

You must write all briefing text in one line here.

and also adding color to the players

I asked nearly the same question, some time ago.
Here is an answer.

"Color in missions"

Hm... I tried to convert mission with ice on the map, i. e. "Bloxice" tileset.
Unfortunately it choose wrong tileset.
It is interesting to read explaining from developers.

If there is no one better than me here, in the topic, still (since yesterday)... I mean the developers of OpenRa and so on...
Then I'll have to do it, a humble user. (oh, with my pooor English, with vocabulary... a dictionary, I mean)
.
The dune2k editor had a nice automated border editing feature ...
