OpenRA

First question. I hope the developers don't mind that I study the source code of the game? in cs-files? Is it normally to discuss source code here? May I? --------- And about the function DisplayMessage() . I remember, that I tried to change the function several years ago. These messages look not e...

More details later, maybe. This is slightly changed function SetMissionText() . UserInterface.SetMissionText() in lua. I create another label (in the file ingame.yaml ) with coordinates at top left corner. Something like Label@MOJ_TEXT (according to sample Label@MISSION_TEXT) Then, in cs-file, I cr...

Big narrow red characters. I made it! More details later, maybe. The pictures below are cropped. So caption " Sietch structural integrity " is in the center in reality. My caption is in the top left corner, as in old Dune2000. More pixelated font: https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/adri_an/75940950/48...

So these color squares are visible only in Map Editor. Right?

Thank for developers for new playtest.

And question.
What is the purpose of these color squares? In Map Editor.
Why are they needed?

I understand, that I give you the answer two months later. But maybe the answer will be read. Just the texts of the menus and things like that are enough for me The texts of the menus are here (Dune folder)/mods/common/languages/ in file en.ftl Bad solution but it works: you can change text right in...

I will up this rather old topic. Actually, it is answer. Function FloatingText() is in file FloatingText.cs here (Dune folder)/OpenRA.Mods.Common/Effects/ Then we can change the code here. It was font = Game.Renderer.Fonts["TinyBold"]; public FloatingText(WPos pos, Color color, string text, int dura...

And more complex question. I would like to make caption (message output) in old Dune style. On the top of screen. Like this. Big narrow red characters. It looks like it needs compile cs files. I suppose I can. https://cdn.mobygames.com/screenshots/2208915-dune-2000-windows-located-a-fremen-sietch.jpg

I would like to return here. Some time ago (after discussion here) I made "Mission description". First in bright yellow color. https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/adri_an/75940950/3647/3647_original.png Later — in dark yellow color. It looks closer to old Dune. (But bright yellow color is more readable)...

Thank you for your answer! Quote from the link: removes all Mono-related stuff :) And I just installed "Mono" yesterday. Mono looks abandoned software... but it still works on new Ubuntu 24.04. With rather old repository for Ubuntu 20 (oddly enough). But installing this program looks easier (for me,...

I remember about modding of this game. I prefer Linux. Ubuntu. Quote from your documentation: ".NET 6 or Mono (version 6.12 or later) is required to compile OpenRA. We recommend using .NET 6 when possible, as Mono is poorly packaged by most Linux distributions" When I check installation on site of d...

I remember this game. And this unusual mod (that I started to play several month ago).

If author is still here, I have some questions.
Unit "Officer" — what is this?

Are you realized new Engineers possibilties via yaml code only?
I made some Dune2000 modifications (just for myself) some time ago...

Are any unusual possibilties in your maps else?

Actually I found something new with Engineers pure accidentally.
Because I did not understand, why do use Engineers in reinforcement in FIRST Mission... And understood it later.

Very cool!
