Play as Mercenaries

[kostik13]

Hi guy's, in some topic I saw,that somehow can edit the game, where i can play as mercenaries,emperor ... I just wondering,could someone edit ordos mission 7,8,9 where i will play as mercenaries instead of playing by ordos.. and ordos will be my ally...

[AMIgaBot]

but ordos wont build base

[kostik13]

i understand that,but can you make ordos mission 7,8,9 , where I will play by Mercenaries??? And give ordos the starport,or some base... I just like mercenaries,and I wanna play... Even those mission's,where they got only 2 windtraps and starport, in other word's, play as mercenaries in ordos mission 7,8,9 .. Very pllzzz can you do that?? It's my dream to play as Mercenaries,and get they reinforcment :)

Ordos are mercenary

they care for nothing except profit

what I meaned,i want to play they colour,and begin mission with there base.. like mission 7 - 2 wintrap's and starport,and get reinforcment's from starport,in mission 8 - have bigger base,like the mercanaries got... In other word's, AI will be Ordos , Me Mercenaries.. could someone do that ?

its impossible to play as mercenaries!! you can change some data in .mis files but game will crash when trying to use units , the sounds files are only for atreides ordos harkonnen, so it cannot be played for mercenary smuggler emperor fremen

we have not figured out yet sounds files, you can try to copy and rename but try use M prefix because A is atreides O ordos H harkonnen , possibly S smuggler F fremen E emperor M mercenary i dont have time for that, im trying to figure out other things

i worked out vars.bin file finishing hackign circles.bin file

[kostik13]

understood.. can someone give me the programms,where i can edit mission's,maps, and create bases in maps

[kostik13]

but what vars.bin and circles.bin files do ?

[AMIgaBot]

read all topics regarding missions and game editing before do it.

vars.bin are variables or something , they control accuracy for death hand, ornithopter , crate limit , starport units cost and units regeneration on purchase. and starport units deliverance time

circles.bin is for shroud settings,. it can make unit see more/less change circle to something else, i did chessplates display on map when moving unit, it was very funny :D

[kostik13]

welll okey, I checked the topic's, and I saw that the most popular programm is Sha-Hulud, Well I installed it, and I don't understand how to make a base,all what I understood,that in this programm i can draw My own map,and place some sandworms, but what about placing the building's, can someone tell me how to do that?? I searched every where about that, and i didn't find what I need.. Please can someone tell me how to do that???

Well, you could always play as the Mercenaries in Super Dune 2 ;)

I never got SD2 to work. Sound was screwed up and froze when i picked 2 of the 3 houses

[AMIgaBot]

when gruntlort will finish his work we will start working on mercenaries

Do you mean the "Second Edition", or the original 1994 release? Because in the "Second Edition" (to which I linked) everything should work fine. Besides, were you using DOSBox?

be my mercenary ha!!

lets think deep. does is there any way technically to add new units/buldings ? i know tibed not allow this but i heard the converting cnc ra 1 units to dune , the pickup truck and mammoth tank. i saw them somewhere not in this boards

gruntlort says its possible.

i know the some things were used fro red alert 1, the bulding placement style, crates, and in red alert 1 there is yet something like tornado or something but i saw a serpent that pass near base and started to drop thunders at base destroying it when units passwd throught "tornado" they were killed rapidly

i looked around dune2000.dat file, i think is something like archive, i searched for google on extracting/opening dat files and found program list that can do it the X is where we should focus on program, we can use hex editing to modify dat file, but why not slash it?

* Microsoft Visual Studio X

* Corel WordPerfect X

* Nero ShowTime

* Nullsoft Winamp

* SoftVelocity Clarion

* Ontrack EasyRecovery X

* Runtime GetDataBack X

* Pitney Bowes MapInfo

the adding new units/buldings would require editing data/bin files and both data.r8 i data.r16 files , we dont need new sounds so new units could use actual ones, another change need be done in dune2000.dat to make it work if im correct. shame is that mvi is gone,

btw grunt you sawid somewhere about ai section and player section in mis file, if you replace player/ai section and put mercenary as player and ordos as ai and then change house linkings in begin of mis file should it work?

sound files are pinned for only 3 houses rest houses are just NPC (non player character)

The AI do not have select sound files :/ you never here them select a unit, and they can use the unit without them.

The dat file is not the archive, its the file that hold all the data that runs the game.

The unit archives are the R8 and R16 files.
