Re: Are the solo campaigns available?

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 ...

Re: Is OpenRA a good way to experience the singleplayer of the games for the first time?

OpenRA is a different engine entirely and is closer to a remake. It's flexible (which helps games like Combined Arms ) but quite a few campaign maps are missing until they can be rebuilt. There are not many people on that part of the project at the moment. Not too long ago, EA and Petroglyph release...

Re: More levels on C&C

I don't think there's anything wrong on your end. A decent number of missions just haven't been put in yet. While the original terrain and starting units can be imported, the mission-y bits mostly have to be redone by hand.

Re: Improving gameplay in OpenRA

Regular skirmish maps are unlikely to become outdated. Maps with customized rules can be given a pass through the OpenRA Utility to update them, though some handmade tweaks might be necessary.

Re: Europe Center/Centre start

If you mean the map at https://resource.openra.net/maps/47595/, it does not appear to have any custom rules and should work as-is with current OpenRA. If it did have custom rules and those were outdated, use of the --update-map command in the OpenRA Utility would be a good first step, and possibly a...

Re: d2k sietch on custom map

Some thoughts: 1) RenderSprites in the default rules often has no Image set because it defaults to the name of the actor. In this case, you may want to specify the Sietch image. 2) You mentioned copying the Palace, and that building's production requires power. Have you given the Creep/Neutral playe...

Re: Red Alert -- bots

Naval AI on a waterless map will be quite passive, mostly just building aircraft and defenses.

Re: Question about modding

example-zombie.zip This is not the only way to do this but I've put together a simple example map for RA. To start, ^Infantry is defined in OpenRA/mods/ra/rules/defaults.yaml and the various types of infantry share it. The map-specific rules in rules.yaml add a SpawnActorOnDeath trait to it. ^Infan...

Re: How do i upload map

I can only guess you're talking about https://resource.openra.net/maps/62625/
Did it not upload correctly?

Re: How to differ Building from Vehicle? In general?

The usual method is to check if an actor can use StartBuildingRepairs . Most buildings can do this, with some exceptions like civilian houses in Red Alert or in Dune's case, the Sietch. local USSR = Player.GetPlayer("USSR") local function GetSovietBase() local buildings = Utils.Where(USSR.GetActors(...

Re: How to resize the window?

You should be able to open settings.yaml with a plain text editor and change the height under Graphics -> WindowedSize.

Re: Bug in the Infiltration bonus mission

I could take a look but if you can provide a replay, that wouldn't hurt. They can be viewed at Extra -> Replays from the main menu, and then the file itself should be within the support directory ( %APPDATA%\OpenRA\ on a Windows machine). Would you know if the truck parked near the lab was destroyed...

Re: [!!!][Allied Mission] 06a: Cripple the Iron Curtain Research

Boop. Since this is necro'd anyway, I'll chime in that I've been looking to change this (and the B side, and allies-07, and Crackdown) because the difficulty spike stands out to me. The main thing is that LST reinforcements come quite early and often, though there are some other bits that don't help...

Re: [Enquiry] Join OpenRA Team

There is no formal process from what I've seen. There is also no shortage of tasks that could be tackled, though the project has been around for a good while and it seems most of the less complicated tasks are long done. Just contribute where you can , as I do when I have spare energy. Development ...
