#0001 -- ThirdSide And More... Options

[SeekSomethingNew]

HyperPatch Development Discussion #0001

Alright, first discussion topic of the sub forum!


Topic Theme: Adding full support for more than two houses into the game engine.

Ok then, now how should i go about coding this up? Remember this includes everything that is house related, Loading Screens, Sidebars, EVA Speech and so on. There are many ways to do so, but i want to hear what works best for the modders themselfs!

Remember to think simple, while try to expanded as many hardcoded problems as we can. I can add new INI keys to HouseTypes, so if you wish, you can suggest a full list of keys to be definable on the HouseType in the INI.

Have fun and remember, its just a game at the end of the day, dont take it too seriously!

Basically anything goes here, as long as your polite and respectful to peoples views and to myself, i wont take action towards you like deleting your posts or even getting you banned from the Tiberium Web forums itself if it has to come to that. I want to lay them rules down in the first post, and i hope people stick to this.

A simple tag for the .ini files to specify a certain unit to a certain subfaction would be really sweet (Like in RA2), this is something I really wanted to do in TI, but without the workaround nonsense.

Edit: Definitely agree with Team Black, though I know you've been bugged to hell about this already by Morpher, so I wont add to that.

I agree with Bittah, making it work like it already works for the two sides would be the best way of implenting it.

Also, if possible, you could make it so that we shouldn't have to add "Civilian" to every unit's/building's "Owner=" key which the third side owns. (example: Owner=<ThirdSide>,Civilian)

More difficulty levels could also be useful (making FineDiffControl work?)

Btw, it's nice to see some progress for this project.. and it's nice to see it here on TiberiumWeb, might make this forum more popular.
