Noob question of the century

Hi all,

I've searched and failed at something I'm sure there is loads of info on. I think I'm just looking for the wrong information.

I'd like to know where to download extra objects for the Open RA map editor - more trees, buildings etc.

Thought I was on track by looking for sprites but the open RA sprite site shows only data.

Please help me. Mock if appropriate.

Unfortunately I don't think you can put new graphics into a map without releasing a whole new mod. I'm not a map maker though so I could be wrong, it's just from my understanding of how the engine loads stuff. But I've never seen any map with custom graphics.

Maps can easily include custom graphics, and many of the advanced maps on the resource center do exactly that.

I'm happy to hear I was wrong! :lol:

Thanks guys.

I'm assuming this mod/map makers are manually adding this new objects in a slow custom way?

I might just stick with the default objects :-(
