Spring WD, the return.

[zwzsg]

ever since I got Spring 0.8 I have problems getting it to show up as a mod....

modinfo.tdf must be replaced by modinfo.lua (and the syntax is slightly different).

Your next problem will be that your start units won't spawn.

[GrOuNd_ZeRo]

lol I noticed, I figured the modinfo.lau out but how do I get units to show without using cheats?

Atleast I can still test it.

As for the ideas on the sides as shared in a PM with n3mesis.

as it stands right now I want the sides to be like this;

-US
-England
-Germany

VS

-Russia
-China
-Venezuela/Cuba etc

The problem I have with France is is that they keep out of most wars and had little involvement with the war on terror etc, I would love to include french units so perhaps a EU side would be better.

As for Mospact we could have Russia/China be one side and South America the second.

I would love to have 2 other sides that emphasize low-tech and improvised weaponry much like the GLA in C&C Generals but ofcourse with a more realistic twist like Pickups converted to Technicals.

I will post this in the main thread.

I figured it out already but thanks guys.

Most of the missile-based weapons are broken so my time is cut out for me to fix that.

N3mesis is willing to make models for me so hopefully we can make something that rivals Spring 1944.

[Neddie]

Alright, though I will want his help with Italy.

[Pxtl]

I just want to play the faction with the Eurofighter Typhoons.

[GrOuNd_ZeRo]

I am now openly recruiting for 3D modelers, coders, texture artist etc.

[Wombat]

i suggest u just ask what u need (concept, pics?) and hope someone will do it, most ppl are busy with own stuff so it will be hard to find someone just for ur project.

[bobthedinosaur]

I have an a10 and an m1 and some other stuff you can have. the a10 has a beautiful texture by wolf-in-exile, which i think he will give permission to use for this?

Spiked should be the one to talk to abotu 3d modeling since he jizzes over this stuff 24-7.

[GrOuNd_ZeRo]

I am half tempted to just stick with .3DO and quad faces and make/remake the units the old fashion style.

The original OTA version is still great, I have neglected it since 2005 perhaps if anyone is interested I can work on that too.

[SpikedHelmet]

I agree with wombat it is better to get an idea of what you want and then see, it may already be done or easily convertable from existing code.

Also you need to not only noty use 3do but I'd suggest even investing in one of the newer model formats that may or may not appear soon.

[GrOuNd_ZeRo]

Beherith sent me a PM about some software that converts 3DO's into S3O's complete with textures!

That would be outstanding.

Don't give up WD fans, I have not.

[bobthedinosaur]

If you use that just be sure to not have any cavedog textures on there. I know you had a lot of custom textures to make most of your models fit their real world design, so most of it should be okay, correct?

[GrOuNd_ZeRo]

I planned to heavilly edit the texures to more accurately reflect the real world objects.

[GrOuNd_ZeRo]

I've been working on the OTA version, made some changes and tweaks also added 2 new units.

[bobthedinosaur]

What 2 new units?

Also: You need a China vs India expansion.

This is for OTA at the moment until I can do the things I want in Spring.

[bobthedinosaur]

What do you mean do the things you want in spring?

[Forboding Angel]

I was wondering that myself. You can easily do anything in spring that you could in ota.

[1v0ry_k1ng]

lol, steal the unit sounds from c&c generals for the rebels 100%

I will make the sacrifice!
I LOVE a crowd!
