OpenRA

I hope evgeniy will resume his work on this mod.

Now that mods can feature command bars, we're close to be able to add the old Dune 2 sidebar to this mod:

Without radically modifying the current design, we can add new buttons into the menu :

Yes, on this mockup, there are much more buttons than before but there have been several people (me included) who complained about half-hidden links ...

Regarding SEO:

Yep, we really need to work on SEO for www.openra.net. I realise that OpenRA is an engine, but if people struggle to find the mods/games that use the engine then they will struggle to find the engine itself.

I searched Google for a few obvious strings: 'command and conquer ...

On a side note, there is still a $100 bounty for the RA1 campaign and $128 on the TD campaign.

I just discovered really nice civilian vehicles and ships made by MadHQ (scroll down to see the ships):

The good part is his permission and FAQ pages on his website.


EDIT: I just found out that you already knew about them. link

Hi old_malcolm.

I think developers will be happy to meet you on IRC.

As jaymanxyz said, http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=openra is the best way to join our IRC channel.

Of course, you can also use the IRC client of your choice (pidgin, chazilla, thunderbird...)
server : chat.freenode.net ...

We already had this discussion on IRC.

The Gamingforum Marketingplan
There are many many gamingforums on the internet. Some in foreign languages, some on English and also there are big forums with a seperate gamingsection. We want to gather a list of those forums. I have searched for the Dutch gamingforums, but its substantially harder ...

Sorry aneyrin, but I advice contributors/modders to download OS SHP Builder (beta) from its official pages:

Hi

This idea has already been suggested :

https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4122
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/10276

Let's hope it will be implemented

I think OpenRA suffers from the fact that it is free - hear me out. When somebody buys a game, they put an investment into it, and chances are they will play it unless it /really/ sucks. In this case, OpenRA is a free game, the biggest investment is a couple of minutes and the bandwidth to download ...

@SoScared: Would something like that would please you ?



(more room for columns and the Browse and Refresh buttons have more space between them).

IMO, it's more important to have a bigger UI rather than being able to see the shellmap..

I know I'm a newbie, but I saw this thread and felt I had to join and respond. The reason that I got me and friends into OpenRA was because of how EASY it was to install on Linux, in comparison to say warcraft 2. If asset downloading is dropped, it will just make installs harder, I have no idea ...

This idea has already been suggested on Github : there is an issue about it.
