Was wondering...

As we all know, recently the CnC community managed to uncrack the misteries of the .VPL file.

Was wondering, since there are already voxels which use a modified VPL file and vanilla voxels, which don't, should there be different forums?...

No. There aren't many voxels being posted as it is and the edited VPL could just be included so people choose to either use it or edit the voxel to suit the original.

I think these VPL edits are mainly for mods which require a different VPL to the original, therefore having unique voxels and unit designs anyway... voxels which are posted for the public and useful to most people usually suit vanilla TS/YR.

Uh, what's this .vpl talk all about?

Here is the research topic. (I'd recommend downloading ApolloTD's vpl at the bottom of the second page, I found that it made my mod's units look a ton better)

Aren't most voxels made in original style anyway? The VPL will effect everything anyway so I don't think there's even a need for a "vpl-edited" voxel forum. It'd be useless.

They change anything which is a voxel.

I don't believe the new VPLs need their own forum since a) they can be edited at will, just like SHP palettes. If voxels get a new forum so should SHPs, and that gets messy.
And, b) Anyone who has made a voxel specifically for a different vpl can simply say "Made to go with P.O.D. v2.5.1 vpl" in their unit's topic. Easy.

Thanks, I though so. I just tested out with Allies, Soviet and Yuri, did not put attention on civilian voxels, tats why I asked.

Well, I do not think that they should get new forum now too because there are not much vpl's as voxels and shps and sounds, but sure, if their number grown bigger, then why not.
