Is it possible to recreate C&C generals in the spring engine? because generals can benefit from this engine...since SAGE sucks..

Yes!

The only thing is the only CC threads I've seen concern themselves more with the older CC games or making a mod that bridges them all.

no...

because:

the buildings/units cannot beupgraded
bunkers do not work
features cannot act as bunkers
we cannot have the same resource model
we cannot have the instants that the generals of C&C generals have.
we cannot have units gain feild upgrades.
we cannot have the nice construction anims
there is more but at this point I stopped caring.

post in help and bugs you may get it runing. Good luck, it shouldn't be bad I do not know anyone personally who cannot run spring.

PLA has always been my favorite, nukes, nukes and more nukes!

And you really can't beat the MiGs either, they rock...

I suppose the models can be easilly converted to something spring can understand, I mean they are already UV-mapped like Masse just demonstrated ;)

that was such a easy job... even the noobest noob can do that in 1hour... and when u know what todo it takes minutes :wink:

westwood would get REALLY mad if we would do whole generals in spring :P

by smoth
yeah, and we can't because we cannot do the whole features...

Let's not call down the copyright infringement lawyers..

:arrow: what Smoth said.

Tread, veeeeeery carefully here, guys. A screen is one thing... distributing some of Westwood's content via FileUniverse would be another thing entirely. If you put that up on FU, this has "sue me out've existence" written all over it, just like the 40K project does :?
