I guess the use of PCX format would cause it, yeah. It seems like the editor isn't too fond of PNG, though, which makes it a pain to work with. It crashes the editor when trying to load a PNG tileset. Of course, it is indexed and no fancy options. I've tried GIMP and MS Paint to export the PNG with ...

I'm just experimenting with the map editor while trying to learn it. I'm having a bit of difficulty getting a custom tileset to work properly. Everything works fine in the editor and I am able to export the map OK. Once that's done, I add a 'texpages' directory which includes testset.pcx and testset...

Also, although it's not realistic, perhaps vehicle transports wouldn't be able to carry trucks. Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but it ensures that cyborg transports will always be useful.

The other day, my friend and I were playing against a few bots just screwing around. I started sending Cyborg Transports to attack large groups of enemies that were not equipped with any AA weapons. Cyborg Transports have a limitless machinegun. Eventually, my friend cranked out 241 transports and s...

The problem is that everyone wants something different. Some want the old icons, some want the new ones. Some want smooth, clean graphics, while others want a very retro look. Without much direction as to what people want, it's hard to go in any single direction without having to constantly remake t...

I'd appreciate if some of the more artistic types around here could come up with a new bar for the design screen to indicate a "wrap around" or otherwise "over the normal limits" look. I think Avestron hit the nail on the head here. A color coding system would be best. It is inc...

Nice. I like it. Where I can get them ? Nowhere yet. They aren't anywhere near finished and look out of place because only a few of the buttons have been done. I think the bigger problem might be that they look out-of-place with the flat look of the rest of Warzone. I don't know how to fix that, bu...

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/111/newbuttons.png Left are the originals, right are the new ones that I made. They aren't much different than the originals because most people seem to want to keep the same general appearance. I didn't make new icons yet, either. They are a lot smoother and the ...

I like the idea, but I think being able to select more than one option for a single unit would be overpowered and add unnecessary complexity. It also seems like this is one of those ideas that would be difficult to implement well and so will probably never be used. Would be nice to also see: Engine ...

another idea, there should be somekind of peace time on startup. like say 20min or so. where people can not attack eachother. since the last times I played there is always sombody rushing another player within 5 minutes into the game. this is very anoying. There's one problem with that idea: it mea...

Long range artillery can easily become quite a pain. Essentially, some matches have everyone building up huge amounts of ripple rockets/archangel missiles. CB turrets can come in handy, but when you've got more than even 10 ripple rocket/archangel emplacements, it gets kind of pointless. An actual d...
