Terrain Expansion for RA1?

[Allen508]

I'm out of I'm out of give a care about it now.

[Allen508]

My try at making buidling in gMax and using the RA2 SHP Tool by Flyby.

[Allen508]

Got both building ingame as tilesets. I will look into make damaged versions.

[AchromicWhite]

Damn, these were made with a simle tool... doesn't look bad at all.

Could it make skyscrapers etc, with them?

[Allen508]

I did the buildings in gMax and using the RA2 SHP Tool plug-in by Flyby. Both are free. Skyscrapers are unlike unless Iran can add new building that use Foundation and Height setting like TS/RA2 dose.

See https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/3549 for an old-town temperat terrain expansion that still needs some work and http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15068 for some tiles we already included.

[Allen508]

I seen the sleipnirstuff things. I like the walls by raminator. I'm trying to go with RA2 look so the urban look in the github link dosn't work for me.

[Allen508]

Some more buildings...

[Matt]

Colors and perspective seem distorted. However pretty cool. Houses is something Red Alert lacked like forever. The battlefield was always pretty much empty.

[Allen508]

Perspective is from the RA2 tool and I rotated the building 45 degress so they are at square 90 degress. I had unwelcome amout wash out of the Red and Blue roofs once I loaded the RA1 color pallete.

 

I'm also trying to come up with some othe building that will work with my current 3x3 and 2x3 set up. Not having any luck.

[Jacko]

it looks a bit odd

probably because we can only see one face of a 3D object in a 2D environment, which IIRC is why in RA2 and TS they're rotated, so we can see the 3D effect.

[Allen508]

I have no idea how to fix any perspective probs. I think this is the best they are going to get.

[Allen508]

Made the the Adv. Power Plants and Hosptal in tileset.

[AchromicWhite]

I think this all looks pretty flash. It's somewhat inspiring me to get off my butt and get back to modding xD

Once again, nice work

woah woah wait which mod name is this? i see the side bar theres different cameo unit

[Allen508]

The mod is a based off of the idea White had for Cold War mod. http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=1646.0 He and I (mostly him) did some things to make it but White went on to make Classic Revolution. Since than I had the mod laying around.

 

I've thought about cleaning it up make it work on CnC Net 5.

[brandonvortex]

ohh but where to download the cold war mod?

[Allen508]

Never finished. I've been messing around with it some lately.

[brandonvortex]

ahhh okay

[AchromicWhite]

If you scan through the Mods here, you actually should be able to find it. Unfortunately, the mod is quite broken and unbalanced, fortunately, I remade it into classic revolution.

[brandonvortex]

okay thanks

I made some graphics for tiles out of the c&c beta screenshots, but they aren't converted into the terrain format yet.

[Allen508]

This may be something for Tschokky to add as in my terrain expansion I have used every available tileset.

 

You can do it you self with RA-MIXer v5.1 OR3 http://ra.afraid.org/html/downloads/utilities-2.html Note: This is DOS program so you may need DOSBox or some other MS-DOS emulator if your on Win7+.

 

You will also need to look at this thread for info on TMP (RA) frormat and to get the Red Alert Template File Terrain Type Editing Tool. It is found in Reply #10 by Nyerguds.

[Nyerguds]

I don't think it's very useful to include building graphics in there, Goatmessiah.

[Messiah]

Some tiles out of the beta screens are converted and added to the temperate theatre in a first try. Maybe I'll create more tiles for a wild, canadian-rocky-mountains-like valley map.
