Map in Menu Screen? - Red Alert

Post by deletethisaccountplease12 »

Hey I was just wondering, the map in the background of the menu screen looks pretty sweet, is there a download for it somewhere? I checked the maplist in openRA but it doesn't appear to be there. I'd really like to play on it with my buddies.

Thanks!

Open it in the editor and you can fiddle around with the settings. It's titled 'Shellmap'.

I wouldn't save over the original though.

We have historically avoided shipping the map editor under OSX because the combination of bugs in Mono, bugs in the editor, and issues with how the osx packaging for OpenRA worked meant that it was more trouble than it was worth to support. Many of these points have since been fixed, and so we will be shipping the editor in a future version (maybe not be the next one, but certainly the one after that).
