Work done with Red Alert 1 shps

Radaral · Cyborg Soldier **Joined**: 26 Feb 2007

I've been long thinking up a mod and I've selected Red Alert 1 and Red Alert 1 style shps for use in it. I've looked around and there are no custom Red Alert 1 shps. well except for poorly done mechs and stuff. Has anyone like made a Minigun or Sniper Infantry for Red Alert 1?

IMO try converting OpenRA shps.

If you're looking for RA shps you should always check the good old RA Archive: http://ra.afraid.org/html/downloads/units.html Smile

and there are some here as well: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?board=16.0

Well I know that OpenRA has a Sniper, and is conveniently using the same SHP format that RA1 uses. So there's that.

OpenRA SHPs use the same format as regular RA.

Note however that Open SHP Editor doesn't save the SHPs properly. In order to save SHPs properly, use XCC Mixer. If you want to modify your existing SHPs, modify in SHP Editor, then export as .png images, then convert using XCC.

Out of curiosity, why not use OpenRA? It's a really flexible engine.

Does anyone have a render environment for TD/RA?

I only know about this.

In OpenRA (latest playtest) go to Settings → Debug → [x] Enable Asset Browser (requires restart).

Have fun creating SHPs from PNG with a GUI. I suggest you export one first to grab/keep the RA95 palette.

https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Pixelart might also be helpful if you want to start with a 3D model and render that to sprites.
