OpenRA

i love this engine ... last weekend played with friends and pizza

but some friends never played cnc, and i wished they play campaigns before we meet for other lanparty again

i love cnc, is one the 1st rts games in the world that is militar (not medieval fantasy), you see a tank and think "this unit is heavy armored, ranged and single point damage" or a missile launcher you think "this unit is not so armored, but is ranged and do area damage".. but if you se a wizard or a witch you dont know exactly what it does until you read abilities

i am playing cnc since its release, i played all campaings, but my friends didnt and that put them in some disvantage with me .. i would like if they play campaigns first and know the cnc story .. i also would like to play cnc (or ra or d2k) campaings with this great engine

The problem is missions have to be programed in C, and not many people can do that, even less have the time.

yeah maybe .. but i think if in the original cnc they works, someone had to have programmed before

maybe there must be a (any)way to 'read' original campaigns and include it in openra .. i think it should be much easier than write it entirely in c from scratch

Actually Scott is already working on lua integration for missons + future campaigns.
