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.

Yes, it works... But it doesn't just affect the AI.


I agree PadAircraft should also be made house specific, considering it currently only accepts a single entry, so in combination with HoverPad only 1 faction can have a helipad that comes with an aircraft (or the helipads of both factions would come with the same aircraft of course, but I doubt there'll be many mods in which that'd be logical).
In fact I actually think it might be even more beneficial if PadAircraft could be assigned to the building even; that way 1 house could have multiple helipads that all come with a different aircraft. It'd also be nice if modders would be able to make certain aircraft only able to land on certain helipads...
Making aircraft able to take off and land not vertically would also be nice, but I'm guessing that'd require you to make a new locomotor.

Anyway, about the menu/loading screen resolutions; how about adding support for 1 wide-screen resolution as well (I'd suggest 1280x800)?
