I'll keep an eye on this. I already see some inaccuracies, so yea, expect me on that channel sometimes. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

The GUI is very "interesting." Can't wait to take a looksie.
EDIT: Also, your link to GitHub doesn't work.
EDIT2: Why not just have it use the vanilla rules.ini and art.ini instead of coding new things? QUICK_EDIT
The UI is the same as the RA1 one, no doubt a placeholder, and OpenRA doesn't parse inis. I'm sure there is a good explanation for that, but I don't know it. QUICK_EDIT

@Graion Dilach, yes sir! In theory urban should be working now too, we just haven't tried it. Hope to see you again soon.
A WIP feature by pchote (that isn't merged yet, so can't be used, but here it is) will improve on this eventually™. Last edited by Phrohdoh on Mon Mar 09, 2015 9:05 pm; edited 3 times in total QUICK_EDIT
I see the game is doing the LAT properly and progress seems strong. Guess it won't be much longer before there's strong competition to Ares. QUICK_EDIT

Nah, they won't even try that. I mean, hell, carbon copy was never an aim, so pretty sure it'll have feats missing for a loooooooooong while. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

More particularly, it'll have features Ares doesn't have and will provide an open source alternative to those who do not want to be tied down to the aging engine. QUICK_EDIT
The aim of OpenRA is not to compete with Ares.
If features are desired and useful then usually someone will try their hand at implementing it.
@dodgevipergts: If you would like to use OpenRA and need a particular feature you can request it on IRC, Github, or even here (though the latter will probably not be seen).
At any rate this comparison is a bit off-topic.
Back on topic:
Allied structures are almost done!

The way that TS/RA2 define/implement their random tile variants is different to how the earlier games did theirs, and is incompatible with the current (really crappy) random tile implementation in OpenRA. This feature will be implemented properly in due course.
OpenRA has two map editors, but neither of them currently support height levels. For now, the only way to make proper TS/RA2 maps for OpenRA is to use finalsun/finalalert and then convert them using my (WIP) map importer. QUICK_EDIT
I like the progress you're making and I'm really interested about using OpenRA for a future project of mine.
Also, couldn't help but notice that health bar looks quite thin and doesn't seem to have enough contrast so the red would be enough visible. Could you make it a bit thicker? Or is there a plan to make the health bar more like TS/RA2 stylish? QUICK_EDIT
@DonutArnold, the 3D healthbars and selection bounds are planned but not implemented yet. For now making the 2D healthbars thicker may be a good bit of polish.
Thanks for the compliment. We are actually about to play a test 'game', if you can call it that.
Still working out some visual kinks + AI: QUICK_EDIT
After trying to explain my process quite a few times to different people interested in converting legacy maps to OpenRA I decided to make this tutorial, please check it out and give me some feedback if you have any.
@Phrohdoh I have not any Visual Studio, can I download pre-built version of the sourse code for using this mod?
Windows already should come with the build tools.
After you download the source, run make.cmd.
Type in dependencies let it run, then start it again and type in all to build ORA. _________________ Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun ,Red Alert 2,Renegade, Command & Conquer 3,Tiberium and Tiberium Wars and Westwood related image & video archive

Don't forget to state who are you otherwise i'll ignore the invite QUICK_EDIT
Build orocess is done,
.mix files I put in \mods\ra2\ folder
But when I try to load this mod, OpenRa is crash, and debug log is typing me:
"Failed to load rules for Blank with error Cannot locate type: RenderInfantryInfo"
What did it want?
The mix'es go in My Documents\OpenRA\Content\ra2\.
''RenderInfantryInfo" That's a different issue we are still using a old build so the code on our side compared to what is now is outdated, a really recent change in ORA is related to that issue.
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/7638
If you can make the needed changes.
That is RenderInfantry is now RenderSprites and WithInfantryBody together.
IdleAnimations is now IdleSequences ,StandAnimations is StandSequences now.
Could take a bit for us to update the code cause what other changes were made today and yesterday need to be checked. _________________ Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun ,Red Alert 2,Renegade, Command & Conquer 3,Tiberium and Tiberium Wars and Westwood related image & video archive

Last time I compiled that it used Visual Studio as compiler, so it does need VS. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

@Graion Dilach Yes it is, had to download a trial version
@Phrohdoh,
@tomsons26lv
Thank you very much for your answers!! Now it's Work! =)
Though there was a crash on self-destruction of the Soviet truck with explosives, apparently it is very much explodes XD
I think this is what the development version, but I can provide crash logs QUICK_EDIT
So... If I did my research right, OpenRa's engine is so modable you could even put Dune's carryal's and also water traveling Sand Worms on your RA2 mod right?
Where do I sign up? Is the code too hard to learn? QUICK_EDIT

Without looking into your markup, just the very fact that you have the ability to render everything identically means you have equivalent language, with similarly formatted values...
The big question is weaponry and warheads, are all the RA2 level options available yet? Or where are we still behind?
I'm very interested in porting my mod, since it looks like your engine's speed and ability will only improve, you could even support multithreading and other enhancements we can never expect from Ares... right? _________________ http://www.moddb.com/mods/scorched-earth-ra2-mod-with-smart-ai QUICK_EDIT
