Hey I want to make a mod and I'm looking for a suitable engine. I'm looking at the CnC Generals engine but I don't know much about it (I don't have the game). I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions for me... 1.1 What editing tools are included? I'd be grateful if people could answer any of these questions... |

1.4 You shoot the ground and it blows a crater, etc. 1.2 + 1.3 Are you sure that it's impossible? Even with massive coding/editing? |

Actually; 1: None are included, but there are so many out there to find that there are no real problems in finding a tool for a specific need. |

1.2 I don't really want to make a turn-based mod... what I want to really do is make a battle system like the LSN system, i.e. the game pauses every 10 seconds, in which time you issue your orders. When you're done issuing orders to all of your units, the game un-pauses for another 10 seconds, in which time you can only watch and see what happens until the game pauses again. 1.3 I mean having units that gain in their individual skills, i.e., going level up like in an RPG. I realize that if it were possible it would take a crapload of coding, but that's ok... what I really want to know is... IS it possible? |

Rb0 - What did you attempt to change - some things are dependent on cross-referencing, and a great many things depend on multiple files. You don't need to patch the game at all - you can simply add a new BIG file or the seperate ini files in their respective Data subfolders. Also, be careful about Zero Hour - it doesn't use all the original Generals inis. |

Did you change anything Rbo? If so, it should work. 1.3 Yes, that should be possible. I'm pretty sure it is. -- The new slavery is to keep the people poor and stupid... Novus Ordo Seclorum. |

According to an interview/article I read, the engine is fully capable of dynamic terrain--terrain that can be deformed and will be traversed in accordance with that--but it isn't implemented as far as I know. - Edited By longbow On Wed 17th, Dec 2003 @ 6:30:00pm |

...what tools would u use to make models and maps and stuf for CnC Generals? --

CnC Generals uses W3D format models (which is shockwave I believe). Maps, just use the handy worldbuilder that comes with it . |
