OpenRA

I did not know that ressources are tiles and not SHPs. The yellow stuff I found in DATA.R8 might not even be spice. As OpenRA does not accept my self-made Arrakis shellmap and crashes if I remove LoadShellmap() from the source code: again a winter screenshot. All Atreides buildings and units have be...

I fixed the centering thing now. Can you send me your sequences.yaml and your batch file to sort the frames counter-clock wise order? That would save me some time for the Dune 2000 mod.

Are you working with my https://github.com/Mailaender/OpenRA/commits/dune? The DATA.R8 conversion works flawlessly (except infantry). Let's talk at irc://chat.freenode.net/openra to coordinate our efforts if you would like to help.

Yes. The two fields must match (TileSize in mod.yaml is set to 24 if it is not otherwise specified). If I set TileSize: 32 in mod.yaml the game crashes at startup with Unhandled Exception: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range. at OpenRA.Graphics.Util.FastCopyIntoChannel (...

Edit: re buildable concrete tiles for building: the terrain overlay engine feature used for bridges and ore/tib was designed with this in mind. You should be able to implement it with a trivially simple trait, so there is no technical reason to cut them. The plan is now to have concrete tiles for t...

The Arrakis tileset still crashes. The engine only supports one tile size per mod. Are you taking this into account? Assuming that you are using the Arrakis tileset that I exported with 32x32px tiles, you will need to add TileSize:32 to your mod.yaml, and then remove all the ra/cnc maps and tileset...

are you thinknig about following dune legacys lead and having sudakra, merceneries and freeman as extra teams so theres 6 all up? Not planned yet, but certainly possible. They would have to use the structures of the other 3 factions and most of their units. The only idea for a gameplay addition I h...

Progress is good currently as I can reuse a lot of code from C&C probably just like the original Dune 2000 developers I fixed some graphics bugs and added the first units. The Arrakis tileset still crashes.

As http://wz2100.net/ is already Open Source and you can create mods including your own units in OpenRA easily I don't see the point of copying Warzone 2100 gameplay.

OpenRA.Utility --extract allows you to get the SHP from a MIX file OpenRA.Utility --png extracts the SHP into a PNG OpenRA.Utility --shp repacks your (edited) PNG file to SHP If you want a truly free engine that does not rely on proprietary legacy file formats for game files have a look at something...

Carryall is basically working, however the frames also need to be reordered to be compatible with the OpenRA helicopter code. It can pickup a vehicle which currently vanishes inside. "RenderCargo:" does not work as it asks for RenderCargoInfo (which I don't understand as the hovercraft in CnC does ...

I can create (simple) maps using ARRAKIS tileset, but the game crashes when I try to load them. The game engine is probably not supporting the tile size. As a first try I added some buildings. They all show some distortion (actually flickers orange ingame), see wings of the barracks and cable/border...

Impressive artwork! Might also be an interesting addition to gameplay if used as a stealth unit as in Generals.

Perhaps we could just use any of tons of quotes from Dune in the loading screens. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Dune Like, "God created Arrakis to train the faithful." Quotes are copyrighted and not very creative. The worst bit about the game; "Laying concrete foundations." This absolutely must be ...

Is this 100% self-made?

I like the wood panels. Can you create dialog.png, chrome.png and buttons.png in the same style?
