OpenD2k - cross platform reimplementation of Dune 2000

Gruntlord6 · June 13, 2014

Pretty much all Command & Conquer games have APCs.

I know most RTS games have it, I just never thought about its absence from Dune 2000.

And you load half a dozen with sab's and engineers and finish the game!

So don't expect that it will be easy to implement. It will need a lot of tweaking. We have to consider what we will allow them to transport.

To expand on your nice idea what about allowing light infantry to shoot from inside the vehicle?

I think it could work by just giving the APC a light weapon, the point being its supposed to help transport infantry quicker, not actually take part in combat other light support.

As for a load of engineers, it would be great as long as they don't destroy the APC, which would have cost you an arm and a leg to build with a full cargo of engineers.

So the light weapon is activated when the APC is loaded. It this possible?

It should always be active, that way it can provide support after it unloads the troops.

Well, in C&C games they just come out when the vehicle is destroyed.

I don't remember that happening in other games like Emperor, so that's interesting.

We had a passenger seat for trikes in the beginning.

That's cool.

Are you still using Windows XP? Just because of security issues, we probably still support it. It looks like the same problem as discovered in http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=2976.msg19912#msg19912 which will be fixed in the next version or you forgot to install graphic card drivers and that is the reasons OpenGL version detection fails. See http://wiki.openra.net/FAQ#no-valid-techniques as the problem might also be that your hardware is too old.

James_Fremen · July 5, 2014

Thanks a lot, I forgot to install the last update of my graphic card

Yeah, I'm still using Windows XP, I have another PC with Windows 8, but in this PC... You know... i can't play old games...

Sorry if my English is not the best

Matthias M. · July 13, 2014

We have a new contributor for the Dune 2000 mod. The latest http://www.openra.net/news/playtest-20140709/ adds starting units and tech levels. The shellmap is also far more detailed.

athanasios · July 13, 2014

Hmm, I also see that there is added isomeric engine support. I dunno if any artists are willing to work on Dune2k sprites. I hope so.

Matthias M. · July 19, 2014

We are currently speaking with people remaking Tiberian Sun assets at http://www.ppmsite.com for a freely licensed HD graphics replacement, but there is no such project for Dune 2000 and I doubt the community here is large and productive enough for such a huge undertaking.

athanasios · July 19, 2014

It will take time.

mor60 · July 21, 2014

Hi There! Great thanks for OpenRA project and Dune2k mod! I Ihad a question: Is it possible to use multiple production queue instead of global/primary prod.queue in Dune 2k mod (like in C&C Tiberian Dawn mod)? I`ve tryed to edit player.yaml with ClassicProductionQueue => ProductionQueue, but it didn`t work (game crashes). :-(

p.s. thanks for attention.

Matthias M. · July 22, 2014

Multi-queue needs ProductionQueue attached to buildings, not players. You will also need to change the whole build palette GUI.

New release is out http://www.openra.net/news/release-20140722/

D2k Sardaukar · July 23, 2014

Sexy screenshots. :P

Matthias M. · October 5, 2014

http://www.openra.net/news/playtest-20140927/ adds a new logo artwork, capture-able tech and improves the ornithopter strike.

Matthias M. · October 18, 2014

http://www.openra.net/news/playtest-20141012/ adds more stability to network games:

Game servers will detect when a player causes extended periods of lag, and disconnect them from the game.

Matthias M. · October 31, 2014

Finally released http://www.openra.net/news/release-20141029

Matthias M. · December 14, 2014

Worm signs!

Matthias M. · January 19, 2015

http://www.openra.net/news/playtest-20150118/ adds Sandworms and Carryalls:

also includes a lot of performance improvements and bug fixes. Happy testing!

Any word on the building upgrades? I heard on Github that the "plumbing" was already done.
