Giving back to the OpenRA community - OpenRA "Getting Started Guide"
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2019 6:23 am
HELLO COMRADS
My name is Ronald and I've been playing CnC ever since it first came out on PC's MS-Dos back in 1996.
I've also done a _little_ bit of CnC mission modding, with an ini-editor back in those day (can not remember its name).
I've played CnC, TS, RA, Renegarde all the way up until CnC Generals around 2006 and enjoyed every minute of it.
NOW BACK ON THE OPENRA BATTEFIELD:
Recently (4-5 months ago) I was browsing Youtube and found "Five Aces" channel, shoutcasts and other videos about... OPEN? Red Alert!
Five Aces's passionate work instantly re-ignited my CnC and Red Alert passion, I downloaded OpenRA and have now been playing / testing
it fiercely (in skirmish mode only) for the last few months. What a joy, what a beauty she is and fully free and open-source as well :-P
From this joyful experience I first want to thank everyone in the OpenRA community for re-creating and maintaining the good old WestWoods Studio's spirit!.
But then I got so excited that I decided that I want to do more then just say "thank you".
GIVING BACK TO THIS AWESOME OPENRA COMMUNITY
I wanted to give back to this awesome OpenRA community, since you all rock! .
And that is exactly what I want to present here today on the birthday (31-August) of the original CnC.
My "Open Red Alert - Getting Started Guide" (and appendices),
which you can download it from here (from DropBox):
- https://tinyurl.com/openragsg - shortened link
or
- https://www.dropbox.com/s/b7udkbv4n0kyq ... 1_93mb.zip - direct long link
It contains: 2 Documents, PDF formatted, Size 93mb
A - "Getting Started Guide" - 210 pages - Taking you (back) on a "guided tour" through OpenRA (release 20190314)
B - "Appendices" -------------- 25 pages - Lots of OpenRA hierarchy trees, data, and infographics.
These 2 documents are aimed at OpenRA total newcommers, and/or existing CnC, RA, TS players in the field.
I sincerely hope my document will ChronoShift many (new and old-skool) players back into the OpenRA Multiverse.
Question:
I'm looking for feedback so, will you let me know want you think of my documents?
Thanks for all for your time, efforts and feedback.
Best Regards,
Ronald
