OpenRA

I had same issues with some maps, it has some problem for a complete conversion, and genrally the maps have to be retouched in the OpenRA editor, some very little, some more (the ice tileset have to be redone entirely). Considering that the OpenRa editor make possible to use all the tilesets in a si...

You can use utility for OpenRa. Some of them are here (but not all) https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Utility I know, and i have already converted a bunch of my best old maps from that editor with the .map extension to .oramap. it is a tedious process actually, since you have to make a pre-map ...

The community is creating new maps constance. They are hosted on https://resource.openra.net

I take the occasion to ask, it is possible to play older maps?
For example for Dune 2k those for the version 20231010?

Greetings to everyone. I wonder: making maps is a fun and relaxing activity until it comes to paint sand on maps in dune 2k editor. Since the base color and the sand tile have very small differences in color, tone, and so on, especially in edges tiles, I wonder, I am the only one who is losing his e...

Thank you! I will go into this, i hope to be able to make custom maps soon without touching the core files!

I had to stay away from my pc for several days for work, but now I have some time to follow this project. I haven't read your last replies, I need to study them, but I can tell you from start that i am unable to make "mission like maps", ones with events, conditions etc, since i have looked at LUA f...

Project update IT! COULD! WORK! Ok, after another couple of hours of trial and error, i have managed to make the sietch work like the atreides palace, with the correct sprite, and for all three houses. The code very likely is far from perfect, since i have tried to delete some pieces here and there,...

I think it's not necessary to use the hammer and scythe as symbol for Red Alert, it can be a little bit polemic I don't get offended by it but people usually asks me about the shortcut icon on my desktop and I have to explain it's a game If there was a national-socialist faction in OpenRA they prob...

Maybe I will think later about separate faction for Fremen. Creating the script for an entire faction for my perspective is quite long, and maybe it has to be integrated in the game mechanics. This seem a long work to do, there isn't a simplier way? You can write in lua file something like this. In...

Ok, i'll answer in order. it will be a long post, if you want to skip the things i have tryed to make so far, scroll until the red line. About palace. Maybe you can show some code with the Palace? I don't promise, but maybe I can do something... That is what i have taken from the code, and what i ha...

Actually, it can be done in a completely different way. I had also the idea to make it function like a barrack, but the AI would not train anything even if i put the sietch to produce energy and set the cost of the fremen units to zero. So for my capabilities i have run out of ideas. Do you interes...

I reply in inverse order, since the second thought is simplier: The code is simply enough for such things, and under the power i set the amount to 20 (as a construction yard). In the test map the creep faction simply does not build or spawn anything, even if I give it a prebuilt base. For the first ...

Greetings to everyone. I am mostly a single player of openRa for Dune 200, and I like to make some minor mods to add to my custom maps and skirmish play. I am not a programmer, so writing the code from zero for me is something i am unable to do, but until now I have managed to modify the code to obt...
