10 comments by Milanium on Feb 24th, 2013

A frequently asked question is why there is no Tiberian Sun or Red Alert 2 mod. The short answer: the engine does not support it yet. The long answer: you can already try and convert the file formats to add infantry and buildings. So what is needed for native support without conversions:

3D terrain and Isometry

This is currently not supported, but not as far fetched as one might think. We recently stumpled upon CnCMaps.Net which turned out to be re-factored OpenRA code to render high-quality map previews.


SHP Format changes

The file formats for infantry/buildings changed since Tiberian Sun, but it is already reverse engineered. In fact the SHP Viewer is built upon OpenRA and supports them.


Voxel support

The biggest addition to the engine by Westwood since Tiberian Sun is Voxel support. All vehicles are in fact 3D models although the games still had a static camera and the look and feel was still very much like that of sprite-only era. Paul started hacking on OpenRA again and presented some experimental voxel support a few days ago.

Tiberian Sun

Tiberian Sun ships a bunch of partly broken C&C/RA1 units in voxel form. Westwood probably used them for early engine tests as well.

Red Alert 2

"Kirov reporting!"

Will there be a Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 mod?

Time will tell. Sooner or later, time will tell...

Hi there, can anybody help me out? I'm looking for a TSun/FStorm mod that simply adds more units and/or structures to make the gameplay and variety better.

Not a total-conversion with a new faction or plot and stuff. Just legit and quality looking units/structures to make the game more fun. That's the one thing that I wished they had time to do in Tsun/FStorm.

Thanks,

Moddb.com my mod does exactly that. Added quite a lot of new units with actual purpose and balance. A lot of rebalancing and reediting such as second weapons, the Elite cadre fires a grenade launcher and mg for example. You also have no techlevels anymore instead you level up in AoE style and through this you get a hero unit of which Nod and GDI got 4. These you will want to train and they have special features also they are very useful and you protect them.

Next to be added will be spaceships, well mod is still in development but the demo is playable and enjoyable and gives you what you asked for. The new content is from the public area of selected sites, only high quality stuff.

it forces me to play on tech lvl 9 and miss out on the fun stuff just because the superweapons take this p**s, firestorm should have added a no superweapons feature i agree.

A very good expansion pack with an enjoyable campaign, an amazing story and a lot of new content like multiplayer maps. However, is messes up the game's balance by giving GDI the Juggernaut (artillery) and the Drop Pods special weapon, and as such the score is 9. It also doesn't fix any of the smaller problems the base game had, such as the 5 unit queue limit.
