I'd guess you're trying to find the usual custom maps folder? For Mac, I think that's in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenRA/ .

You should have the right of it, though you'll want to restart the game if it's already launched. mods\cnc\rules\campaign-maprules.yaml -> Shroud -> FogCheckboxEnabled -> Set to False has worked for me before and it still seems to do fine.

The missions were redone with fog in mind, so you may see ...

I specified %APPDATA%\OpenRA\, which is different from the program folder. Try that path in the file explorer's address bar or just enter it in the Run dialog brought up by holding the Windows key and pressing R.

Naval AI might be the least aggressive. It focuses quite a bit on building defense structures with no real land armies. You may want to build some anti-air though.

Sorry about that. For some reason, I thought I had already posted. On Windows, you should be able to (re)set the resolution in %APPDATA%\OpenRA\settings.yaml. Try changing WindowSize under Graphics with a text editor.

For whatever reason, the Visibility field was set to 0. 0 is not a category. Peculiar. I have reset it to the standard "Lobby" through a text editor.

It's more complicated than just handicaps, but I'll try. Like OpenRA missions, CA leans on using difficulty to change parts of the mission rather than only unit stats.

In base v. base missions, bot factions have some standard unit type pools from which they can build, and those can change depending ...

I have been updating some old maps with BI myself. Try removing any -DecorationBounds lines. They'll be under Selectable or Interactable. You may also have to remove a duplicate DockHost trait when running the updater more than once.

Would you happen to have a link? If the map can't be selected in a lobby, it'd usually be because lobby visibility is unchecked, or because of an error in the map. The first one can be solved by ticking a checkbox and saving again.

Localization support is a work in progress for OpenRA, and some Atreides and Ordos missions are also unfinished for now. Those will not be completed for a decent chunk of time. You might try the GruntMods version of Dune 2000 in the meanwhile. If you do, ensure you select the language in the ...

I s'pose there's the wiki's Mapping page, though it should be pretty straightforward unless you wish to set up a mission or something else with many custom rules.

Last I saw, there is no hard limit other than the New Map dialog being capped at three digits. However, performance can degrade once the size gets extreme, and it's often better to keep maps on the tighter side for gameplay anyway.

You could try the GitHub wiki page and the other links in its sidebar. If you're doing something lighter, a lot of things can also be added/changed within a map, like missions, mini-games, or competitive maps often do.

As far as I know, the license agreement with EA precludes a Steam release of OpenRA. Certain features would be nice to have fully fleshed out before that point anyway, like translation support or finished single-player campaigns.

The campaigns are still a work-in-progress, with some of the later maps still on the to-do list and older maps that could use tweaks. Cutting up my post from elsewhere:
OpenRA is a different engine entirely and is closer to a remake. It's flexible (which helps games like Combined Arms ) but quite a ...
