What would I like to see?

Post by Joefromtwg »

Different style of plane wings - mainly cosmetic
- UFO style disc
- Long body - like WW2 bomber planes

Different styles of walls - weak, medium, strong, or perhaps the research changes the way they look?

Gates - Not sure if there in the game, I've not come across them?
Plane Engineer for building on places where wheels and hover can't reach, - I know the mod has it but I would like to see it in the original game.

Solar panels/wind tunnels - For a little extra power

Laser guided Missile defense system, something to help shoot down long range missile warheads. Base defense only?

Suicidal cyborgs - BOOM!

APC - Armored personnel carrier - 55mm gun turret, fast agile light armored carries 5 cyborgs

Carryall - a plane that is able to lift single units

This is all I can think of, I hope I haven't mentioned things already mentioned :roll:

Jorzi made a UFO image: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=6994&start=135#p94964

There are no long body planes yet, but the Ultimate Scavenger Mod has helicopters: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9182

There are a few different designs of walls but player can usually only build one type, and regardless of upgrades it does't change design. There are wall styles for Nexus (sort of black walls) and scavengers (wooden walls) which you will see in the campaign at various stages.

Gates are already in the game in the 3.1 branch - you need to research walls first then research gates.

There aren't any solar panels / wind turbines, but they might get developed as part of the Scavenger Wars campaign: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9269

A missile defence system would likely throw the game balance out. However, in early versions of the game there was a type of long range scud missile which can be seen in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFd3jTJRgWI If that got re-introduced, it might be that base defences such as stormbringer or vindicator could be used to shoot down scud missiles?

While there are no suicidal cyborgs, there is some stuff in the game's source code about a self-destruct option for droids. It's not exposed via the user interface but if you want to have a go at testing to see what it does, create a simple AI script and issue a DORDER_DESTRUCT (I've never tested it - would be interesting to find out what it does): https://warzone.atlassian.net/wiki/disp ... R_DESTRUCT

It's possible that there might be additional types of transporter added in future, but for now we only have VTOL transports: There are cyborg and super transports in the game now (need researching, I think they are in 3.1 branch). Also, the helicopters in the Ultimate Scavenger Mod are based on transporters.

That is cool stuff to know.

Gates - Brilliant stuff!! you HAVE to love gates!
Why can't the add more vtol bodies?

Solar panels ect could be added for multiplier.

If I could i would mod this game, I used to do Tiberian Sun/RA2 but I imagine this game is different, does it use INI files lmfao :lol2:

Yeah, lots of the game uses code from the 90's but it's being upgraded bit by bit over time.

I'm unaware of who Monica Belluci is,

I would like to try and do my own MOD, but its not something I'm willing to start on my own. Not enough time in my life for another full time project like that lol
