A demo or at least instructions of the game on the menu would help for those of us who don't know where to start or what to do. thanx (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
By adding some more stuff and updating it you can release your own RISE OF REIGN 2 in no time.
Graphics are good as usual, plus you know what to do in VB. This is where you are best at, you know what I mean ;) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Wow I cant believe my eyes, An RTS in VB You did a fantastic job. You deserve hundreds of globes. Is there a way to make custom images of tanks. Please tell me and also tell me how does the command processor works (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I forgot to upload this Every object in the game is called by it's index number destunt(index) Destroys the tank of the index destbldng(index) Destroys structure of the index makebldng(ini as string,side as string,flip as boolean,x as integer,y as integer) Makes a structure, ini is the name of building, side is the side ('Allies' for user) flip is the rotation of structure, X & Y are the position of structure. maketank(ini as string,side as string,x as integer,y as integer,toX as integer,toY as integer) toX & toY is the destination place of the tank airmission(dock as integer,side as sting,ini as string,x as integer,y as integer) Initializes an air mission on ... dock is index of airfield, X&Y are the target location nmsl(x as integer,y as integer) Fires nuclear missile on X and Y bolt(x as integer,y as integer) lightning strikes on X and Y
Use strings without quotations example :-] makebldng(AircraftCarrier,Allies,false,512,512) Press F* (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Step I OSVV Capture is also included. Now you can convert RA2/TS voxels into images and use them in game
THIS LOOKS LIKE A BIG PROCESS BUT IT IS NOT BIG IT IS EASY, SIMPLE & QUICK
firstly download Open Source Voxel Viewer from ppmsite.com Now open it : Open a voxel or just download it from ppmsite.com forums. You can also extract RA2/TS voxels by XCC Mixer (Search it in google),(RA2 or TS necessary) Wait for Step II (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Step II Now Open the voxel : Goto ground tab and uncheck the "Draw Ground". Also goto Sky and uncheck "Draw Sky" : Goto "Unit" tab and set "Unit Rot" to 0 Now goto View -> Camera Manager : Set 'Y Rot' to 0 and 'depth' to -40 Open 'OSVV Capture' that I made. It is in \OSVV Capture\
Drag the "Grab textbox" button to the "unit rot" textbox in 'Unit' tab and release it similarly drag 'Get 3D View box' and release it over the 3D viewer of OSVV. Also with 'Get Window'. drop it over the the window of OSVV. Now rename 'Artillery' to the name of voxel (eg. Tank , M1) Wait for Step III (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Step III Just click "Process". Wait till the rotation is complete Now goto images folder. You will see all the extracted images.
The images extracted will be non transparent bitmaps Use Adobe Photoshop or any other software to make transparent regions and remove label If using adobe, Prefer making actions and batch images (it saves time and effort). The format of image must be gif and with transparency The name of file must be Name & Number & ' copy.gif' like Medium Tank1 copy.gif
Number must start from 0 to 20 (complete 360 degree rotation)
Crop the extracted image for best results. Also open 'Rules' folder and see for diffrent ini files which includes the characterstics of the tanks, weapons, etc You can now make new units and use them in your custom mod of RoR End Step (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Real-time strategy A real-time strategy (RTS) video game is a strategic game that is distinctly not turn-based. According to Brett Sperry, the phrase real-time was used to
distinguish such games within the broader genre of strategic wargames, which has a longer history both inside and outside of video gaming. Some important
concepts related to real-time strategy include combat- and twitch-oriented action. Other RTS gameplay mechanics implied are resource gathering, base
building and technological development, as well as abstract unit control (giving orders as opposed to controlling units directly).
Additionally, the in-game user interface is much like a computer desktop: the player can manipulate controls and in-game units with techniques such as clicking
and dragging. Each player in an RTS may interact with the game independently of other players, so that no player has to wait for someone else to finish a turn (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
To move a unit Click on it and click the destination position. To unselect Rightclick on ground To order a unit to attack Just click the target unit or building or allow unit to get close to a unit To multiple select our units Make a selection box (like in desktop) To move around map Move your pointer around corners and edges of screen (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
To make a building Select command centre (tall main building) and in BuildBar select the structure you want, and then in map place that structure. To make a tank Select war portal, (flat thingy) and select the tank you want To repair structure Select structure and click last icon (magnifying glass)
These requires cost and techlevel, to increase techlevel build techlabs. To increase money build power plants. Power plants extracts energy from earth and converts it into mass to make tanks and buildings.
Finish mission by finishing objectives described main menu (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
