hey !
here are some ideas for the mod i'm dreaming of
(it's of course not 100% balanced yet)
unfortunately im not able to program all that stuff... (at the moment)
only thing ive done: i extracted some shp's from tiberian sun's original mix file.
(i also want to use two units from red alert 2)
WHAT'S THE EASIEST WAY TO CONVERT VOXEL TO SHP ?
i dont want to save each frame from each unit...
1st i want to get all units together before i start with the "real" work...
somebody can tell me where to find SU-47, Interceptor and Stealth Bomber shp's?
maybe you have some dev skills and this is an inspiration ?
or you can help me somehow ?
EVERY INFORMATION IS WELCOME.
would be great to play that mod in future
including:
-----------
- [weather (light rain/snow) & day + night effects (hope thats possible with openra engine)]
- [adv. techcenter for speed, amor and firepower upgrades]
- maps with tiberian sun's neutral buildings (infantry should be able to capture them) and tilesets
- nuclear power plants
- helis and airplanes should be repaired at helipad/airstrip + unlimited machinegun ammo (rechargeable rockets only)
- no chrono/ion curtain
there also should be improved ore truck and heli/airplane behaviour, stat screen, user configurable hotkeys and unit formations
(another thing: when you attack with infantry/dogs, they sometimes just stop before they shoot/eat if you are not near enough on target)
m'kay?
cheers!

Oh look, some of my cameo icons*. Anyway, all I'm going to say is "learn how the engine's YAML stuff works, and get to it". It's not difficult; just tweak a few things here and there and get comfortable with the format before adding stuff of your own. A few/most of us are already busy with mods and testing and all that other stuff, so you'll probably be on your own for a while.
Also, you might be interested in going here if creating new SHP files and that aren't something you can do yet:

*Not that I actually mind, I quite like the idea of my stuff being good enough to be stolen.
