Re: OpenRA - A deep dive into its source-code

As for VisualStudio - the Community versions work perfectly for you. Minimal is probably 2017 by now, but you should just get 2019 anyway. Both VS 2017 Community and VS 2019 Community are easily available on Microsoft's website. You can also find older versions, but not as easily. You don't need Mon...

the balance of C&C95 and RA is damaged with your supposed tweaks. Did you just use "RA" and "balance" in the same sentence? :o0: :lol: I couldnt care less about bugs That's what people say when there aren't any bugs. Try a version that has some and I bet you'll be among the first bitching about the...

The only thing you should need on Windows is .NET 4.0 or newer.
Having Visual Studio is a bonus, but not mandatory (you can still compile via our command-line script, which uses the .NET compiler).
And I don't know what SDK you are referring to.

I've been wondering, if there is any reason why there have been no playtest binaries released since December? The last release was pretty big, and also did not exactly happen very smoothly, so people are still pretty burnt out from that. As a result, there hasn't been much drive to get a new releas...

First off, you didn't even say what UI you are talking about. Please try some "STOP : THINK : WRITE". Second, as xanax` said, all that information is still there (including the spectators, actually). As for the hover tooltip with player info - you should be aware by now that there could be 60 people...

I'm pretty sure both the map with locked settings and the resources changing through FoW are both pretty old issues.

You can already find that in the playtests (or "Release Candidates", if you're scared of the word "playtest"), actually.

It has been discussed and migs will get some attention as soon as @hamb is able to.

There won't be any more ad-hoc balance changes for this release, however. That ship sailed a while ago, sorry. We can't risk breaking the balance this close to a release. If we keep doing that we may never release.

To be fair they aren't any better in the original (I just tested it).
While I kind of agree with you, for the moment we want to get as close to the original as possible before we start rebalancing it like we did for TD and RA.

1., 2., 3. As for Sonic/Siege/Missile tank - I would have to test that against the original. The speed/damage/etc. values are copied from TibEd, so they are supposed to be correct. 4. What do you mean " this time around" ? This playtest? As for the suggestions: 1. Possible, but at the moment we're t...

Please do. I'm genuinely interested in seeing how you make a color picker with 40 (hell, let's start with 20) hardcoded colors that all work for any mod that is on, or will come to OpenRA.

What makes AA-guns ûber powerful is that they are capable of firing into shroud without seeing their targets. Can you please try to reproduce this on the current playtest? Several things regarding targeting were fixed since the last release, so this should no longer be possible. P.S.: Sorry, kind o...

Sorry, looks like you misunderstood me - I meant quite the opposite - that sneaking is still possible. You just need to distract your enemy (as you should have been doing before, it's just more important to do it now).

Well if people find it annoying - I can't argue with that.
I just don't consider "it gives my enemy an unfair advantage, because reasons" to be a valid argument, because it can be so easily nullified.
