C&C Generals, how do u think its going to be

D

Believe it or not, ive played the beta of C&C Generals, and to me the graphics arnt as good as i expectted them to be. They seem to be really close graphics to AOE (Age Of Empires), but the gameplay isnt that bad. theres lots of building and units to build. i dont knwo now if i am going ot buy the ful game

maybe if i get some left over change

After buying a new graphics card, motherboard that supports it and probably a new sound card (since my current one is integrated with my chipset). So yes i'll definately buy it, provided it retails at under 50p.

I'm thinking about buying... just not sure if I will, but probably, if cash allows, I will.

Well, I might buy it, but I might not. It depends on whether or not Westwood announces TT. If not, then I'll buy it. I already have almost the whole C&C collection. (Just missing RA:CS, which I can't find anywhere)

I would and all but with my 64 meg ram 400 MHz and only an ATI rage pro I doubt my comp will handle it although I am plannin on gettin a Geforce 4 in the near future.

yeah, well that's nothing compared to the comp i had six months ago. Pentium 0, 100 mhz, no sound card, god knows what the graphics card was (if it even existed, civilisation II was about as much as it could handle) but hey, it was free. (who in their right mind would pay for something like that now anyway!)

PPM Generals mod? We don't know if we will do it or not. We need to finish the TS mod first.

TS · Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2003 3:00 am Post subject:

What im worried about if we do decide to make a mod for Generals, is the gasphics. How would you make new units and still make them look so good? 3d Studio Max?

yep and imagine how big the file size will have to be

Tratos · General **Joined**: 01 Jan 2003

there is one other option, seeings as how nobody wants to buy it, and you dont seem to br too keen on creating new graphics, why not make a Generals mod for RA2. That way it's free and doesn't cause too many problems on people's comps.

Tratos · General **Joined**: 01 Jan 2003

in fact i think i'll get right on it.

hellfire · Commander **Joined**: 09 Jan 2003 **Location**: Canada

If you need any help with rule.ini coding I'll help with that.

sure, all help appreciated.

But don't apply if you have a lot of work to do on Final Dawn (as that is the main project here afterall), i'm not saying you can't help out but FD comes first.

Banshee · Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2003 9:16 pm Post subject:

Ok, if you need any support from us (like a forum to discuss it and news posting about it), you can count with us...

(However, sincerily, I will buy Generals, but only when cash allows me to do it).

Tratos · General **Joined**: 01 Jan 2003

A forum (or forum's - research etc...) would be great thanks Banshee Very Happy

hellfire · Commander **Joined**: 09 Jan 2003 **Location**: Canada

Sound's great and it should be a great mod to hav around since I know there are quite a few that are prohibited to get generals due to their comp's and not just cash.

exactly, i've started compiling a folder full of all the concept art, screenshots etc... i can find (it's gonna be quite a weighty file so i dont think i'll be posting it on here) which should help when it comes to creating all those new units, structures etc...

hellfire · Commander **Joined**: 09 Jan 2003 **Location**: Canada

Well E-mail, or Pm me any thing you want me to do with the rules.ini aspect of things.

Ok, Tratos. PM the details of the forum you want like name, who you want to have access to it (PS: all admins automatically have access), description, etc..

It's better to be in this forum, so you automatically get the visitors of this forum, which would be good for you.

The Research forum for you is the RA2 Battle Lab. Anytime you wanna break your limits, start a research there...

well, lol, whos gonna be the one to buy it so you can just covert the 3d files to voxel intead of doing them all from drawings?

Banshee · Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2003 11:53 pm Post subject:

Sk8er... sincerily... it's easier to make our models in 3DStudio... but look, we can get the models of the Generals infantry and help our infantry production. I'm still hopefull there is a faster way to make infantry instead of making all +600 pictures...

Tratos · General **Joined**: 01 Jan 2003

and besides making them yourself adds that personal touch. And i meant vehicles only not nessercarily infantry.

Sk8erkid · INSANE **Joined**: 16 Aug 2002

ya, thats what i meant, but why not just have someone get the game so you can use the same looking units is what i meant

lol, my brother spent a whole month compiling a full CD of porn. Mostly pictures but it had videos too. He would stay up all night, right clicking and saving pictures. It was quite pathetic.

I downloaded Yuri's revenge off KaZaA, but my Norton Anti Virus, picked up a virus on the install program, so I had to delete it. That was 2 nights of downloading gone to waste. Confused
