EDIT : also, crud didn't notice ren say his stuff about the wishlist

i've been waiting for this day.

wishlist of several other modders and me :
*including stuff from this topic*, besides the stuff you have listed
different mcv for the third side
fixed air transports
added armor types
air combat?*it should be possible*
larger explosion radius limit ? *because animation debris really tends to be buggy*
custom mix for third side
custom sidebar for third side
perhaps use the RA2 code for elitesecondary and eliteprimary ?
perhaps a third ai for the third side ?
death weapons*or at least warheads*
additional movement types*like track,foot,float etc*

About third side: it needed to add SIDEC03.MIX and another stuff
But in TS many hardcoded like:
if (strcmpi(scen->lpPlayerName, "GDI"))
{
}
else
{
}

Now I extend some custom super weapon:
[SuperCannon]
Name=Super Cannon
IsPowered=true
RechargeVoice=00-I154
ChargingVoice=
ImpatientVoice=
SuspendVoice=
RechargeTime=1
Type=MultiMissile
SidebarImage=MltiIcon
Action=EMPulse
WeaponType=SuperLauncher ; Custom weapon here

Now tag WeaponType=specify weapon for any instance of Type

I have question: what not work in DropShip loading screen?
Only problems with mouse or what?

i assume adding full third side compatibility will be a bitch then, though it should be doable with quite some hard work

also your code means a bunch of emp-like weapon launching supers ?
if so, excellent, many mods would benefit from that

http://www.modenc.renegadeprojects.com/ETS:Wishlist

The RP Crowd should feel right at home. Wink

Also remember it's a wiki. Don't be shy to expand pages, just don't MurderDeathKill anything. Very Happy

I'm pretty sure I got all wishes from here transferred to the original revision of the wishlist, and, fact is, if this thread is ten pages long and weeks dead in a few months, nobody can be arsed to dig through this thread to find your wish. If you want it at the most likely place where VK can find it, put it on the wishlist.

Trust me people...we're managing the same stuff for pd - it's better this way.

btw, VK: STX can offer hosting, including your own project-space in our bugtracker. Might bring order into chaos. Contact me if you have questions.

i have two sugestions, make the walls like in ra2 where you can make a line of like 5, and mabye make it so you can make a weapon that can fire underground, like for a deffense wall likw the firestorm.

I find what TS have more hard code stuff than in YR
Droppod infantry are define as E1 and E2
I want to extend sections up to 128 kb, because 64kb I think rather small Very Happy

If I add SIDEC03.MIX it mean what all: radar, cameos images can be customize for third side Smile

Main tasks:
- Add load screens (already done)
- Add SIDEC03.MIX support
- Add custom weapon to MultiMissile

Maybe instead of "fighting" over certain aspects of the community, we should work closer together...we still have an untainted OS: namespace for example...and Category:TS ain't our biggest one either... Wink

Thought you need to sacrifice either the Hunter-Seeker, the Multi-Missile or the EMP Cannon to do one Wink

.

Anyways, i'll edit it since i thought of something better Smile

Also, removed Spy Plane from the RA2 SW list, since if he can do an Airstrike, give it a dummy weapon and it works like a spyplane Wink

But using RULES.INI file you can make it similar RA2 Very Happy

ah but remember, he said he was working on other weapon supers, so that means meteors won't be a problem for you or me :3, in fact, one can ignore the multimissile super etc entirely
only reason to use em would be the launch sounds

Tyler, Dont be foolish. Dropships would perhaps be the best addition to TS, and most yearned for. If only you couldnt have them deliver goody crates.... Neutral

BTW, You think clones of the Drop Pods would be wonderful, with tags to change the infantry(DropPod I Infantry=E1,E2, and so on.) What about getting the 'firing' animations like RA2 had for the supeweapons(EMP,Firestorm Def, and Missile Silos had one) working?

can't be done with TS/FS ?
i wouldn't mention it when it could be done in any way.
if this promising possibility to add features and bring this as well it would make skirmish games a bit more funnier, unless all TS players are colorblind, sorry.
also i think it floats with the gameplay stuff you said mr ice #Tongue

People asking for the working dropship.. I'm assuming this is like transport logic found in RA2, where units have a certain amount of pips, allowing transports to carry units and infantry.

This I think would require far too much coding?
Adding an additional variable to units, stating their "size" in pips.
I could be wrong, it could be easy.. but I think that there is a lot that needs to be worked to get this single feature to work.

Having a working ordinary air transport (flying APC, per-se, carrying infantry only) is a bit more realistic, as it was doable in the pre-patch version of TS, and potentially findable to correct.

would you people please make less outrageous requests ?
i'm fairly sure "upgradeable units" would be a bitch to code in assembly

also O_o at meteor storm
you couldn't randomly have made a superweapon type that dumps animations in different locations could you, because it seems troublesome

Hey, that's impressive skills. I did just notice your sig, C&CVK, and I'm just wondering: What happened to RP 1.08??? He said a early June release on the page, and I just am curious. It's backing up progress on YR: TS.

BTW, C&CVK, what methods of Type=MeteorStorm would work? Would this be something where you could change it? Or would it be a hardcode?

Not exactly. It worked like this:
..snip..

No, I'm pretty certain you are making a mistake as to what people want - which is fully working air transports as there is no way to have a fully working one without many glitches in TS.

Pretty much everyone is aware of the dropship loadout feature making much of your post redundant.

P.P.S. OH! I have idea. Can u attach this Dropship screen to dropship bay structure. I mean Dropship screen can be called by click on building. #Tongue

Could it be made useable for a faction? Build a structure(Say a D.shp bay), every few minutes the D.shp loadout screen comes up and lets you order new stuff?

Also, would it be possible to revive these two logics from RA/TD?

C-17 Nod Cargo Plane-Actual, physical unit coming in, dropping off the purchased vehicle, and then leaving. uncontrollable by player.

"Plane" logic-There's no other way to actually put this. Planes that takeoff and land like non-VTOL craft on a building different from the Helicopter Pad. Only they can land on "airfields", only Helis on a Helipad.
