OpenRA

please post a pic, im personally picky about downloading files without any pictures.

I looked around, and i have 2 questions:
1, what are .shp files and how do i edit/make them?
2, where are the .mix files and what do they do?

pretty much summed up in the description, what software do i need to make a proper openra mod? ive been meaning to ask this for a while but never got the time to find anything on the forums.

so i made my first map recently, and thanks a ton to Nukem for fixing a bug with the spawn points not working. enjoy!

1. Allow but don't require placement indication when a structure produce order is given.
2. Require placement indication. Changes gameplay a bit.
3. Require *and* start construction at the final location. Really changes gameplay, but might actually be quite ...

go to moddb, they have C&C for free download and it works with xp/7. otherwise the RA mod for this has only 1 build queue in the new 906 build.

and as for the buildings being placed instantly after build orders, that's not how all the building in C&C and RA games are built. you need to find a ...

this is a remake of an old game, so far everything in this game is really close to the original and some of these things i wouldnt really agree wtih
Game looks great already! Some feature request from me:
Add map size to map list.

i understand that, that's why im asking for a modding guide

As chrisf said, the playtests are dated, so playtest 20110904 is 2011, 4th of september (ISO 8601 international standard of dating, favoured by computers and asian culture).

As for dune working here; not impossible, but requires some dedicated time, which i can't blame the dev team for not doing ...
