Here's the official words on mod support for Commmand & Conquer: Remastered.




What does it mean? They don't have anything to say about it.

I am just glad to see there is a map editor. If I can figure out how it works, I may have to open a C&C:Remaster map section on my site.  Razz

It is possible to mod these games, but they were not made for it and I don't think anyone got bothered to mod them after Universe at War.

Truly sad if there is absolutely no modding support but still a great step towards EA putting out the fires they set so many years ago.

Even if it doesn't support modding I would presume the assets will eventually be extracted & used in TS, RA2 & OpenRA mods.

only in 10 or 20 years, when the game is made freeware. until then, copyrights will prevent that and EA will shut down any mod with these assets.

Apart from infantry, most assets are pretty easy to make though and many are even made already in diverse mods.

This seems to be a very authoritative statement, what is it based on?

I can't imagine mod maps won't be possible - since we'll have a map editor we will be able to directly access map files.  The community will have to build from there, assuming that the next update from EA isn't about mod support.

Is there any reason they wouldn't still use .mix or .big files from a technical standpoint?  I know .ini was replaced with .xml starting with C&C3, but what advantages would .xml have over .ini for the remasters?

This game is being developed by Petroglyph Games, using their own engine. And their own engine has been using .meg files for many years. Apparently, it seems to serve their purposes. It gathers a huge group of files into a close space of your hard disk and encryption is allowed. So, it is very much possible that they will keep using them.

Their files can be opened by the latest beta versions of OS .BIG Editor, unless they use a new encryption password. But once someone figure that out, we can always adapt the program to handle it.

Because Evil Arts is Evil Arts and will do anything in the name of getting every last dollar.

TL/DR: They've done a lot of things really well, but I'm afraid for the game's longevity.

That's my view too, though it can be a commercial success to a degree regardless, and knowing EA it will end up in a new Mega Ultimate 57th Deluxe Anniversary C&C pack thing one day.

Why bother modding this game you can make a mechanic-wise similar game relatively easy with some modern game engine like unity

You do it, then, since you seem so brilliant.
