The ROTD Map im working on..opinions.

Clarkson

this is mainly for the XWIS-Players. im making a map for RoTD mayhem this weekend. it will be perfect for Infantry-Only warfare. i want your opinions..

1:This map will have DINOSAURS,big,scary dinosaurs.
2:How should the map be? a lush,tropical paradise,untouched by man,tanktread,or artillery shell for millions of years? or based on a Land of the lost?(ex:Human establishments scattered around in ruins.)
3:Visceroids. should i prevent infantry from transmorfigurating? or keep them to add to the fun?
4:How abundant should Tiberium be?
5:Lighting settings. Daytime? or a dark,and eerie night-time setting..?

Carno... it's not good to make something just to... make something. You need to have a real good idea in your mind and have an objective and focus on it.

I have an objective,belive it or not(i made a voxel once for the hell of it. it looked like a lime-green mine car.)ROTD has no MP maps(accept the FS ones,and well...there kinda boring,considering none of the new natural features are fully utilized in the MP maps. its going to be semi based on Carnivores(the lame hunting game where you'd hunt down dinos,commonly found nestled in bargin bins.),including a set of pyramids based on a level in the game.(little tribute,though lame.) meh. maybe bansh's right...

Yes, yes I do Smile

I made a list of all files to rename somewhere on the forum...

Ah, here it is.

DWN.INI to SUN.INI
AJ.INI to AI.INI
...though I don't think these 2 influence mapping

ARR.INI to ART.INI
RULEZ.INI to RULES.INI
ROTDXP??.MIX to EXPAND??.MIX

ROTD2.MIX to PATCH.MIX
though I don't think there is such a file... it's just that the real patch.mix shouldn't be used, just like expand01.mix shouldn't be used either (seeing as there is no rotdxp01.mix).

Can you make mod maps in TS like in RA? Where you just put some rules.ini stuff in the map to change the image/behaviour of a unit/building?
