OpenRA

Personally I am not a fan of realism. I really like the idea of factions, though. I made a mod a while ago called CNCplus. I stopped working on it because I went back to school. It has some neat units. http://cncplus.tumblr.com Part of the reason for playing the mod was to be a testbed to see what c...

I dont think any bibs should be removed. I removed them once but it wasn't that great. The aesthetics are nice as they were meant to be, and I dont think anything is gained by removing them (usually). CNC has already removed a few bibs: the silos, the repair bay, and I think the helipad too. The rep...

Anyway, fog of war in openra isn't really functional enough to be used on it's own. It itself can't truly be disabled (only hacked - projectiles and effects still vanish), buildings are poorly supported (hidden until seen or not, no spysat distinction) and bibs aren't supported at all. (always visi...

IIRC, when I played CNC mod, it seemed the units could only enter from the top-left, to enter the repair bay. This could cause a traffic jam. It would be nice if helis could easily land on the repair bay, repair, and take off again to make room for the next vehicle. This would be a necessary feature...

Does it seem like D2K doesn't have enough of a role for infantry? When I played, they seemed useless. Maybe it was because I played on a big map, but it seemed they took forever to get across the map, only to die quickly. Personally I prefer not having useless units, and C&C/RA suffered from that a ...

Nice! Thank you! I was thinking of doing this one day... (would have been necessary for the C&C Ckassic mod).

Do they all work?

I think some people would like to see a few of them adapted for multiplayer (maybe add a few spore flowers if needed, etc.)

I am willing to help with a Classic fork, to work on the CNC mod (and maybe RA if I have time). I identified some important issues that have to be fixed with the engine first, before I think the C&C community will be willing to migrate: -Orca doesn't return to helipad automatically -Problems with Or...

Sweet! This will let me resume work on my C&C classic mod (decided to suspend work until Fog of War and other issues were resolved). Even though I believe in making it as 'classic' as possible, I still like the idea of the option of Fog+No Shroud, in addition to No Fog+Shroud. Why are you changing t...

@Psydev: It's not simple as you can think. C&C use small bridges for 1 units. RA has different shores and rivers. etc... I understand. But why can't all games just share each others' tilesets (have both bridge types)? My vision is: before you start a new game, you chose a map and then theater which...

Are the offsets for each frame available somewhere in human-readable format?

Can someone explain to me why we can't have any game play on shared tilesets? I would really like it if you could just load up a game and pick any map. There could be a way of automatically converting one resource type to another, since C&C and RA have direct analogues (ore, gems, mine = tib, blue t...

Here is the Ghost Stalker unit from Tiberian Sun that I was converting for the tutorial. [cnc format]

Would you like to convert some of the many of user-generated units for Red Alert 2 out there? I wrote a tutorial on how you can do it easily.

The blog can receive submissions by others who may want to post tutorials as well.

and I found https://github.com/katzsmile/OpenRA/blob/master/OpenRA.FileFormats/Graphics/ShpTSReader.cs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzPWJYWtV_c so basic Tiberian Sun graphic are working. Wow, cool. Ugly and pointless to me... but still neat. I think the vehicles look weird. I worry they are a...

I also found Dune 2000 Formats Specs if someone wants to contribute code. So I to understand from reading this that, unlike RA/CNC, images are not rotating around a center point, but rather aligned with a border, starting from the the top-left... Would it be possible to simply adapt the OpenRA game...
