OpenRA

Yay, GAP reduces vision, it's a dream come true

I think that giving tanks the ability to detect stealth will make stealth much less useful. Maybe we can remove stealth detection from all defensive structures except for AA?

I'm beginning to think this is the most useless unit in the game. MAD tank/Mammoth/Apache can be useful against all sides in some edge cases, but for this one, the only case where it seems to be useful is in an allies vs allies matchup where the enemy allies have GPS, which is insanely specific. Is ...

In current OpenRA, if I scouted a building, I can later target it with artilleries/v2/whatever, and they will magically know whether it was destroyed. Why not disable this and have them attack the ground whether the building is there or not? Sure, microing players will still be able to figure this o...

Maybe instead of a hardcoded list of mutators, mutators should be zip files containing yaml and lua patches that can be selected just like maps from the resource center. This would allow people to create new mutators when needed.

Actually in this case, I can explain the change quite easily. I began by using the debug display to find out that the thing takes long is "render" and not "tick". "render" is drawing things to the screen while "tick" is game logic. After that, I modified openra code to display times for different pa...

As some of you may have seen, I had to switch to a really old computer for a while. At first, I noticed that this computer takes too long to render. After some hacking in the source code, I managed to implement a "low-detail" mode for OpenRA. In case you are wondering, this is how it looks: http://i...

I'm trying to run ORA on a very old machine that has problems rendering frames in time. graion and I thought that maybe adding frame limiting will help, but when talking about with graion, he showed me this line: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/a10fd292539173e575a7136aab152f61b209f08f/OpenRA.G...

In the document that was sent by email, I'm supposed to play against snake, not against fundahl, what gives?

I think you mixed round 1 and round 2.

I've implemented these for something in Shattered Paradise, but I think it may be of interest in general, so I'm publishing this here as well. I've created two new Traits for OpenRA: BloodCashTrickler and GivesBloodBounty. The BloodCashTrickler trait makes a structure gain money for its owner for ev...

it reminds me of something that I noticed, demo trucks don't explode when killed as part of a transport's death.

http://pastebin.com/FCXPcbaW - Patch to modify OpenRA http://pastebin.com/7iNXuuXB - Utility to analyze debug.log (I use command line '<' to make it input) The whole idea to extend the analysis utility as much as we want. For example, the next thing I want to add is information about damage effectiv...

Can a lua script dump lots of data to a file? The whole idea is that we don't know in advance what to analyze, so we just record every time something damages something and then run an analyzer program on the report. What I showed is the output of the analyzer, but every damaging hit is saved. Also, ...

I've been helping Noit with some testing of the Shattered Paradise mod and I had the idea to see which units are dangerous to who. Turns out that all it takes is changing 2 lines in the source code of OpenRA and you can get that info dumped into a debug file and later analyzed but another python pro...

Looks very awesome, hopefully we can do more 1v1 this weekend.
