This is the finest example where I say that the other shouldn't even mod if this is beyond his capabilities. - how to build a map with only units (no MCV) - how to...

The multiproduction thing of TD's was a design chance back in 2010-11 maybe, when TD had it's own gameplay designer, which led practically that the TD gameplay is the least remiscient of the original. This multiproduction has great effects on balance though, so I don't think it'll be transferred ove...

As once a RA2 veteran modder said - modding is an art. When you have to write guides for every little thing, you've lost the creativity of it. There are those things which one should figure out on their own. Especially considering that OpenRA as a platform changes dynamically and one has to maintain...

Try ./OpenRA.Utility.exe ra --check-yaml /Users/Raymond/Library/Application Support/OpenRA/maps/ra/radioactive.oramap. The issue with Linux and - I guess Mac falls into this - is that unlike Windows, these OSes does not contain the local folder in their $PATH variable, thereby without the ./ prefix ...

Terminal is the command-line window. I personally don't see what's there to explain - you open a terminal window in your OpenRA folder (on Windows, the easiest method would be thttp://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/27778-open-command-window-here.html if you use Explorer, typing cmd in the text bar be...

The ts and the ra2 mods are against the bleed they're paired with in the source and will not work with your playlist/release version.

Most other mods are probably outdated.

Keep in mind that modding OpenRA is not equal to modding a traditional C&C game at all. As modding tools, while OpenRA.Utility works, it's performance is inferior and not exactly modder-friendly, I suggest you to XCC Mixer . If you want to work with voxels as well, Voxel Section Editor III - or comm...

MadTank requires WithFacingSpriteBody in playtest and RenderUnit in last release, which are probably already inherited from ^Tank, your crash is caused by the fact that you're using WithInfantryBody and you don't remove the inherited renderer trait.

That will still let the ant to be produced from the barracks. But this reminded me that the answer is even more straightforward - dogs are the perfect example. Are you sure? Look at the prerequisites, "~factant" shouldn't allow that. Having it as prereq alone wouldn't solve the possibility of produ...

This is the RA mod, right? If you resubclassify all units in a production queue (look at helicopters and aircrafts, how they have a subclass of the Aircraft queue along with them) then you can do that with an existing queue. Mapmods can't do more - you have to go for complete mod if you intend to ad...

These mods are outdated and do not work with the current releases/playtests. Contact their mod developers to see what can be done regarding it.
