Apollyon Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Do we know whether generals will use the same rules format etc? Or maybe even similar models (altho I doubt it as they were made by IG) any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 lolI was just going to post something like thatI think we should start a modding team for itanyway IG has nothing to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 [sarcasm] really i'd never have guessed! :P [/sarcasm]that was precisely my point.especially as IG are bankrupt now anyway lol ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guusr5644 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 mm ppl say generals uses same grafix engine as emperor.. maybe xbf's will work with th 2 :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 I very much doubt it as the XBFs were of IG design and IG most definitely didnt work on generals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeLeto Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 mm ppl say generals uses same grafix engine as emperor.. maybe xbf's will work with th 2 :P I don't know who these "many people" are, but the graphics in Generals will be WAY better than ANYTHING to date.And WestWood says all the "rules" stuff will be included in one "Rules.ini" file, with over 200,000 lines of code! You will be even able to add new sides!At least, that's what my friends at EA/P say...Well, friends of friends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Yeah, Westwood says a lot of things... they said they would support Emperor, too. ::)Btw, Generals is gonna use a slightly modified C&C Renegade engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Renegade? Are you sure that's even possible?I do hope it's moddable. It would be nice if you had the ability to create game scripts that allow new game types, like you can in Earth 2150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Renegade?!The models and similar on screenshots do look similar to xbfs, but I have little experience in 3d engines, so I'm not too sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 I think that much of the engine is also inspired by Karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 I know it sounds... unusual (to say the least), but that's what they said in several interviews: That they are using an entirely new engine, parts of which are taken from Renegade.

Apollyon Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 so instead of slightly modified renegades engine its a completely new engine with slightly modified elements of renegade ;D :P.Anyway, heres a thought, if generals is as moddable as it sounds why dont we all band together to make the ultimate mod for it? There are bound to be many ppl outside of this forum who will make mods and we shall show them the might of the Dune Fans ;D :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeLeto Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Yeah, Westwood says a lot of things... they said they would support Emperor, too. ::)^Perhaps if some of you had actually BOUGHT the game instead of pirating it, they would have supported it better... ::)Trust me, though, I get along very well with WW. Helps not to cuss them out in tech support e-mails. :P ::)(You know who you are. *cough*Razorox*cough*)Btw, Generals is gonna use a slightly modified C&C Renegade engine.^No, it won't. It's going to use a totally new engine developed by EA/P, called Sage3D. Renagade engine? That's not even possible, I think. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted December 24, 2002 Author Share Posted December 24, 2002 I bought it as im sure many of us did. He said "parts of which are taken from Renegade." altho even that is difficult to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Deep down it uses part of the engine Renegade is based on which is the same engine that E&B uses. It has been modified a lot obviously but they do share similarities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koen Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Generals will use the same file format for 3D models as Renegade (W3D). But Westwood still hasn't released the 3ds to W3D converter they would release for Renegade. So we still can't edit them.I can tell you that Generals is moddable: but 200,000 lines of ini-like text is a bit too much :SEditing without a program will become impossible I think (then again, the TibEd 1.x engine can't handle the Generals file formats... Incoming: TibEd 2.x, which was originally designed for Emperor... but I was slightly delayed :O). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
