Inspiration...(mod related)

L()KI · Last edited by L()KI on Sat Nov 07, 2009 4:13 pm; edited 1 time in total

So, after losing everything probably... I decided I need to start again, again.

I want to finish something atleast before I leave this place.

So, I need some inspiration for a mod for Generals. Yeah I know, when all hope fails go 3d. Atleast I should learn something, I played it this morning, it looks good enough.

What kinda mod would you like to see, what hasn't been done yet? Perhaps another cartoon style mod like Dafool's one?

So anything you have on your mind, anything at all, let me know.

I have an idea for C&C3...But I need people to help me execute it.

PM me if you're interested in modding for C&C3. Wink

Yay, another Generals modder!

An original idea.....I think I have one (I'll PM it you)

There is always the usual RA/TD/TS fan sequels, but they need to be done really well for it to be worth doing them at all.

Then there is porting another game/universe into C&C, which is easy but only because there aren't many new ideas in it

Then there is the entirely new universe, which is hardest, most time consuming, and most complex, but can have greater results.

What do you want to see in your mod? It is yours after all.

crevio · Commander **Joined**: 19 Apr 2009

What was your Mod before hand, Why not just start over with it. More than likely it's gonna turn out much better this time around. I know mine is turning out way better than the first time. I say go for it!

m7 · Commander **Joined**: 17 Apr 2009

I'm interested in something new, but I need to talk to DaFool to understand all the limits behind it. PM me if you're interested. (ZH related)

Ickus · General **Joined**: 25 Nov 2002 **Location**: @__@

yea, srsly enough with the fan sequals..blehh!

do something simple. draw from older games...8bit and stuff. but stay away from C&C. like maybe a pong RTS idk.

just make small new unit mod and fun with it. Wink

sometime i want to do that kind of mod either when i feel bore.

*ps* interesting to make ROS in Ra3? but i don't know to make model for that gme or coding it before but i want to do it if someone can teach me for that.

Dutchygamer · Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 12:54 pm Post subject:

RA3 is way harder then Generals, as it uses different coding (no ini, only bloody XML). Anyways, good to hear someone else who is interested in modding 3D C&C Wink

Ah cool to see people are interested. I don't have Zero Hour yet, but hey gota work with what I have.

I played through the GLA campaign yesterday, seems like the engine is pretty good. It brought out the militant in me lol, AK47s for everyone.

Anyways, I was maybe thinking of doing something slightly cartoony, like borderlands. Plus I only have Anima8tor and the other free stuff to work with. I don't want to do anything too small either, i'll lose interest quick. Hmmm takes time to think of something original hey?.

Thanks for the input, i'll check my pm's, more ideas welcome.

Oh and I don't think I want to do any more remakes or even restart my old mod. I might continue my old one if I can recover the dam thing. Had enough of Cnc stuff for one life time hehe.

I have an IDEA!!!

Mothership style mod

you get a mothership, you build your units and kill everyone.

L()KI · Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 4:55 pm Post subject:

OK here is a MSN brainstorming session for the mod, excuse vulgar-ness and some stupidness.

This probably will be the direction the mod will go.
Enjoy Smile

Thilaksha says:
the saying Fcuking A!

Josh- start killing.... says:
or alllalala
because it is just A

Thilaksha says:
lol
wait huh?
nevermind actually
Was thinking
again
How about a mothership style mod?

Josh- start killing.... says:
lol

Thilaksha says:
you get your mothership

Josh- start killing.... says:
and KILL EVERYTHING?

Thilaksha says:
and then you build you shtuff from it...lol yea

Josh- start killing.... says:
you could do cooky 1950s stlye
with big chrome-y spinning UFOs vs slightly cartoony 1950s armies

Thilaksha says:
Yea I was thinking of that too
but nah
A floating base
Oh I wanted to ask

Josh- start killing.... says:
?

Thilaksha says:
Can you edit the zoom levels in Generals
I need it to zoom far out

Josh- start killing.... says:
yes I think you can
idk how but you CAN

Thilaksha says:
good
very good buahahaha
plasma cannons for everyone

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
I'd do crazy aliens
with big heads and little bodies and rayguns

Thilaksha says:
lol

Josh- start killing.... says:
and UFOs and tractor beams
and then kinda an army side with tanks and square-jawed soldiers with rifles and stuff
then hightech stuff like prototype lasers

Thilaksha says:
lol
that might be pushing it
Maybe
hmm

Josh- start killing.... says:
well you know, a tank
with a big dish on it
that goes bzzzap

Thilaksha says:
I was thinking of changing earths geography

Josh- start killing.... says:
why?

Thilaksha says:
Don't know like the continents that have drifted in a different way
or sum shite like that
Wierd wars and then some

Josh- start killing.... says:
eh, ok

Thilaksha says:
I don't know man
but what do you think of the mothership thing?

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmmm
crazy alien mothership gameplay? sweet
like Homeworld 2
where you have a MASSIVE SHIP THAT IS YOUR ENTIRE BASE

Thilaksha says:
yea kinda
ok I do it

Josh- start killing.... says:
lol

Thilaksha says:
but

Josh- start killing.... says:
what?

Thilaksha says:
ok wait I solved it
don't worry

Josh- start killing.... says:

Thilaksha says:
Oh yea can you make harvesting like in RA or tib?

Josh- start killing.... says:
in gens? yeah but its a tad laggy

Thilaksha says:
Dam lag

Josh- start killing.... says:
each little patch (what would have been 3 or 4 cells) has to be a small supply crate object

Thilaksha says:
Dam
ok wait what if you make that object really huge, and little bits of it is harvested at a time?
eh eh?
will that work?

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
you couyld make it quite big
but the harv would always go to the middle
tbh it isnt TOO bad if you keep the amounts reasonable

Thilaksha says:
ah
dam lets see about that later
What should resource be?
call Gew
or Poo
or Jew Jew
or Ju ju
mik mik
stuff

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm

Thilaksha says:
sir we need more stuff

Josh- start killing.... says:
handwavium

Thilaksha says:
what the fcuk

Josh- start killing.... says:
it's a name
used to describe

Thilaksha says:
now that sounds dum

Josh- start killing.... says:
materials in scifi
that go "screw the rules its cooler this way"

Thilaksha says:
lol
yea

Josh- start killing.... says:
either handwavium or unobtanium

Thilaksha says:
ubanium?
ubertamium
its uber
cool

Josh- The day we elect the BNP is the day I don a Guy fawkes mask and start killing.... says:
lol
could work
just remember either make it really serious or really crazy

Thilaksha says:
or both

Josh- start killing.... says:
so you could call it ubertanium and make it PURPLE CRYSTALS
or call it boringium and make it look like ore

Thilaksha says:
It will be full of sex drugs and rock'n roll thats for sure and trance

Josh- start killing.... says:
lol
aliens want earth because oxygen is their cocaine

Thilaksha says:
lol yea or their cocaine is humans themselves
they eat people

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm

Thilaksha says:
or sniff them

Josh- start killing.... says:
brains
gotta goascliche as possible
brains and spines

Thilaksha says:
lol yea
I feel that inspiration

Josh- start killing.... says:
don't tiptoe carefully around the landmine that is cliche but rather jump up and down on it in the hope it's actuakky filled with beer and hookers

Thilaksha says:
lol
or eat it, if your alien

Josh- start killing.... says:
yeah

Thilaksha says:
How many sides should I have

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
you need a minimum of 2
Hoominz and alienz
although a few generic sets of humans mght work
amerycanz, rooshans and chinkehz

Thilaksha says:
chikens? space chicken?
no no I don't want that much toonishness
4 sides
or 5
is that possible

Josh- start killing.... says:
noo
chinkies
chineseies

Thilaksha says:
lol
5 sides would that be possible?
or 4
atleast 3

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm
gens han do about 16
so yes

Thilaksha says:
ooh
cool
5 or so wouldbe best
Humans
Half humans
Aliens
void monsters

Josh- start killing.... says:
half humans?
wtf?

Thilaksha says:
lol

Josh- start killing.... says:
What?

Thilaksha says:
wait man I'm doing the list

Josh- start killing.... says:
VOID
MONSTERS
WHAT THE HELL?

Thilaksha says:
and the Miko Nation

Josh- start killing.... says:
Miko?

Thilaksha says:
Sounds metalic
so they are like pure robots

Josh- start killing.... says:
so basically you're going to have a few scifi 50s cliche baddies

Thilaksha says:
no

Josh- start killing.... says:
and a few scifi cliche 50s goodies?

Thilaksha says:
they are very futuristic

Josh- start killing.... says:
awww

Thilaksha says:
everyone is futuristic

Josh- start killing.... says:
yeah, but do them all like people though they would in the 50s

Thilaksha says:
Half humans change to Zone Raiders

Josh- start killing.... says:
because retrofuture is awesome

Thilaksha says:
or Zoners

Josh- start killing.... says:
zone raiders=gay C&C3 unit

Thilaksha says:
It will have a little bit of retro
ztype that
cll emZoners
and Void monsters change to Void Beasts

Josh- start killing.... says:
ok
so what is the concept behind this mod?
is it going to be crazy 50s scifi or another generic evil aliens want to kill world thing?

Thilaksha says:
everyone get's into shit except for the humans at first... the other races were fighting each other earlier right. So a super gay alien race warped all their motherships into earths solar system coz they were pissed off

Josh- start killing.... says:
lol
so robots versus weirdy monsters vs bighead deathrayanalprobestyle aliens
vs hoominz

Thilaksha says:
yeah

Josh- start killing.... says:
k

Thilaksha says:
then the gay aliens arrive also
then we have a massive free for all

Josh- start killing.... says:
gay aliens 0.o

Thilaksha says:
well they kinda gay

Josh- start killing.... says:
one gender only?

Thilaksha says:
they think they're ways are the right ones, because they made peace with themselves others must be peacefull or die
or piss off
yealol

Josh- start killing.... says:
ok
what style you going for? cartoony? Serious?

Thilaksha says:
in the middle like borderlands
im going to post this conversation on ppm

Josh- start killing.... says:
hmm

Thilaksha says:
why?

Josh- start killing.... says:
#1 ppm is full of (erased)
#2 needs a little more work

It's a anti-mine tank, it uses reactive wind power to take out mines that are planted in the mine fields.

Also heres a soviet truck mounted on a train base with a mig-17 engine to clean railways from leaves.

Hey the mothership idea, yea well...it's your construction yard that builds most units etc etc...like homeworld.

Ok so the plan is to have 5 sides. I still only want to start with 2, greys and humans.

Wow. Notice a lot of the uber designs and technologies are mostly made in WW1 and WW2. We don't have such ideas these days (unless you watch a lot of sci-fi films and mecha animes)...

About this tank:

The design reminds me of the Wave-Force Arty.
