OpenRA

Not sure what the issue was but Raymundo took 5 minutes out to solve it, many thanks Ray. We also play tested the map 3v3 and after an epic 1 hour+ game the 2 remaining players on team Ray finaly ground their way to victory in the closest match ive seen played on that map. The map is now available o...

@ ShadowAssassin its all about the polish redalert has existed in some form or other for 20 odd years Its not like its new or unheard of , it was a cult game for several years So that part of the marketing is allready done People know or can easily find out what an RTS game is, this wasnt the case ...

Great software generally attracts and retains a great deal of people Likewise, great leadership attracts and retains supporters and develeopers ...anything can be pushed, spamming the internet etc but genuine word of mouth is the way 'great ideas' and great things are spread. deficencies in the sof...

ref Do this, and I will give up on OpenRA, and retreat into the shadows like I was already doing prior to discovering it. Persistent stat tracking and carrots permanently alters the chemistry of the online playing community, which makes or breaks many an online multiplayer game. From Command & Conq...

problems arise when you start making lots of money using someone elses artwork as the core I have no idea why redalert was effectively given away.... yes i do , the original owners didnt figure out how great it was and still is nor did they figure out how to maximise profits& player base by 'good d...

agreed, lots of good ideas

the old microsoft game zone lobby was the most practical lobby ive used posted a screenshot elsewhere

you had 50 game rooms arranged in a grid with global chat at the bottom

ref new players would never think to turn on empty there is nothing to turn on !!! its all listed in priority order...you just scroll down new players will overwhelming join existing games hosted by experinced players...80% of games are hosted by 20% of players ....then onece one has 'discovered' f...

Lobby Design Rather than rip obvious flaws i thinks its far wiser to have an open debate specifically on 'Lobby design' http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=19302 I am deeply concerned that a huge amount of code time is gonna get lost on lobby design Its sooo easy to get wrong......

OpenRA Lobby filters Currently waiting empty and protected are enabled as defaults that the game resets to every time you start it up This is realy realy annoying !...as in clickety clickety click annoying this should change to Waiting , started and empty As this would give a very clear picture of w...

Replay feature three forward speeds AND three backwards would be very usefull the ability to jump to a specific point in time would be very usefull Age of kings has KEY feature which showed you where a specific player was looking at any given piont in time...allowing you to 'see through the players...

Age of kings and Lords of the realm II have some interesting and usefull statistics and replay features. 'Greatest Noble' etc Lotr II Lords of the Realm II is perhaps the most 'enchanting' RTS ever created https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7uKMEucNoA AOK replay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXqciK...

Bad design of new user interface December 2015 release The whole point of writing new code is to make things better not worse. Two steps forward one step back is not a pleasant experience for any 'end user' The end objective is to reduce the amount of brain re wiring end users have to undertake NOT...

wot another 20 years ? :-p KEY POINT if planes end up being used as kamikazis , or half treated like them then the statline is wrong...no other argument is required slightly slower but better armoured planes work VERY well ...its also more fun and more realistic in terms of 'ingame combat' ....watch...

There was another female character included in the original game but she was disabled/dropped.

the GFX files for that unit should be fairly easy to find and use



there are quite a few civilian types in the original game, maybe one of those could be repurposed ?



just a thought
