nemafakei Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Ok, a couple of you have been asking about making an RA2 mod. Now, the ini files are... rather messed up to start with, and the project would have to involve all new cameos (icons) so why don't we all get together and do it instead of just one or two of us?I suggest that this is not aimed at YR - although it can easily be made YR compatible; not everyone has YR... and since the size of the 'market' (so to speak) is small enough as it is - we don't want to restrict it further.All volunteers should come forwars within the next week or so, and state their preferred placementWe need:1 - 3 ini editors1 - 3 Building SHP editors1 - 2 Cameo (icon) editors1 - 2 Voxel editors1 - 2 People working on the menu shp's and similar stuff...and lots of ideas.Me, I'd prefer to do the Voxels, and I might help with ini editing and cameos.

vidiware Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 I agree with not making it in yr, but make it compatibleI can join you, but i dont know what im good at, set me to do a task and ill try to complete it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 I myself am a fan of YR, maybe I can be a part of a special YR team that incorporates the changes you guys make, and modifying it a bit so it can take advantage of the new units.. I already started a while ago on a RA2 only Dune mod but I didn't continue it, and it's a bit messy..btw YR has Desert tiles, would it be an idea if I extracted them so you can replace for example the snow ground with desert?

Dunenewt Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Count me inI hav RA2 + YRr u going 2 replace individual countries or just the 2 sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Nema is the leader, but if you can extract desert for snow or just add it it would be fine, if you just can add it, it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_d00d Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 I'll extract the tiles if someone says which files they want  ::) I'm not really a tiles-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 10, 2002 Author Share Posted April 10, 2002 If you can get the deset to work, that'd be brilliant.I suggest Either making the Allies the AT and the Soviets Hk, with AT/Fremen Alliances and stuff as the individual countries.Or we could do each country a separate house. (quite a bit more difficult) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 Is this for RA2 or for some Dune game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 It is a RA2 -> Dune Mod...Good Idea Nema, but It had been cool if you made, Ix, Corinno/Sadukar housesAnd you could ally with, Bennegesserit, Guild, Fremen + other dune smaller Clans "Houses" or what ever it is, but i dont think they are called housesDo you have work for me Nema?

nemafakei Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 Ok... lets wait a few more days to see if anyone turns up, and then we start. At this stage, I don't want to make anything like sides too definite.At the moment, Vidiware, could you see if you can extract and change the loading pictures and the menu pictures?

el_d00d Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I uploaded the desert.mix from RA2MD.mix, don't know if that is the correct file but I think it is :Phttp://members1.chello.nl/~j.l.akerboom/desert.mixit's 2.6 MB, but the server can be slow sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 The Houses, my opinion areOrdos -> Traditional House, can't let them out, they are always thereAtreides -> The Coolest house we need them*Ix -> Technology Kings*House Corrino -> Sadukars have an Emperor to serve (emperor VidiWare ::))Benne gesserit-> Not a house but Yuri Guys (the Voice)Ginaz -> Never heard about it, but i know they areFremen -> Maby they should been Atreides allyHarkonnen -> Evil as usualTeilaxu -> Maby regenerate hitpoints units and, bio, style like cloning vats, maby ordos AlliedGuild -> Â To use RA2 Teleport Tecnology * marked, Me VidiWAre love it and need it Good with the mix, i havent looked at it, but... Cool anyway.Nema Is the commander so he deecides the houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Would the Harkonnen be using the Nuclear Silo? Also, is it possible to import YR units to RA2? Brutes sound Harkonnen-y :). The Chrono-Legionnare would be Guild, too, right? One more question, would Tanya be renamed to like Fedaykin or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Guild ---> Chrono Technology... i think soTanya ----> We can make a Tanya Like unit to every house.Nuclear silo is possible and Fremens can use weather storm (they did make a storm in the 2000 movie/episodes and made some rain in the 1st one)But we must invent other weapons.Ideas:Ix ----> MegaCanon (Ion-Cannon)Guild ----> Leet them get some kind of super chrono things...Fremen ----> Feydakin, things like tanya f***king up others base.Teilaxu can get gholas, with 'midcontrol' ability and swordOrdos... hmmm..... let them get the old saboutaur:No skin... Make them invicible, not for other unnits but to humans, so they can sneak and take out the base... with umm. C4 and kill the peoaple with dual colts..and then hijacker ability, hard to control but if its used right then... you look the death in his eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 You can also make Carryalls with the airforce command. Man, RA2 is a lot like Dune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidiware Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Yes.. you have right...But... Are you going to help us/Nema FAkei???Look at the top, and se what we need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 Ok, what about this?I've had a look at the Armour TypesHow about...;The following Armour Types are shielded, and cannot ever be hit with a laser:3. Plate (inf)6. Heavy (Tank)9. Concrete (Building)1. none (inf) is the standard inf armour2. flak (inf) is for infantry commando-units, so they don't get killed too easily4. Light (tank) is for light units eg trikes that are maneuverable, but weak5. Medium (tank) is for tanks that have thick armour, but can't avoid stuff7. Wood (building) is the standard armour for all base buildings8. Steel (building)is the armour type for base defences and other steel buildongs.10/11. Special armours will not be used.;NB: the numbers are the order of the armour in the warhead verses slot.And what about...3 General Sides, each with basic units - so:[Atreides Allied Infantry]Light Infantry (poor on shields)Grenade Soldiers (not too bad on shields)Sniper[Ordos Allied Infantry]Light InfantryChem Spray Infantry (good on shields)Saboteur[Harkonnen Allied Infantry]Light InfantryRocket Trooper (not too bad on shields)Laser Infantry (Can't touch shields); All LtInf are equal. All of these inf are AC none; [Atreides Allied Units]TrikeCombat TankMissile LauncherRepair[Ordos Allied Units]RaiderBattle TankGas Tank (canisters like inkvine)Troop Carrier[Harkonnes Allied Units]QuadAssault TankSiege Tank???; All scoutish units are AC light; All standard tanks use lasers, but are not shielded -they are AC medium; All second level tanks are AC heavy - shielded... Plus house units, like Fedaykin, Sonic Tank, Deviator,/Devastator...and everyone can fork out a lot of money for a swordmaster or BG.What do you think of that way of doing it?
