Hello everyone! I've started to make a Red Alert on Warcraft III. I haven't got so far yet, only created a few buildings and such, but it's going good so far. This game will be based of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, and I will try to include every unit from that game. I post a little WIP if you want to try how you build, as you have a controlpanel that you build from in that game. The controlpanel is a hero, and can be accessed anytime. I'll post pictures here when I have worked some more on it.


I'm looking for a skilled terrainer, as I'm really bad at it.


Info about Red Alert 2
Red Alert 2 (RA2) is a RTS game much like all other RTS games. The goal is, like all RTS games, to destroy your opponents bases. In RA you do not have any builders. Instead, you have a controlpanel, from wich you build and create everything you need. Thus, the buildings don't do anything except for unlocking new things in the controlpanel. All buildings require energy, and if you use more energy than your powerplants produce, most things stop, and you have to build more powerplants as fast as you can. It also features so called Superweapons like Nuclear Missiles. A very fun and fastpaced game, in my opinion. Also, the tanks in the last part is the ridicoulusly strong (but ridicoulusly fragile, lowest hp in the game) Prism Tanks.


WIP (I'll add a notice here when i complete something.):
  • Buildings drain money when being contrsucted. You can also see time remaining for your building/unit.
  • You can cancel/sell/repair buildings and units.
  • Created a working money system.
  • Created some Buildings/Units.
  • Started creating superweapons. (I just couldn't wait! :p)

You're also making a Warcraft 3 version of RA2? If you are, I'll stop working on mine.

No, I was just replying about the "Altered melee" I'm not making anything similar to Red Alert. Don't quit the project, that'd be a waste ;)

I was refering it as being revived as a popular map choice, melee maps used to be popular but then a lot of other map types clouded over the genre then they came back again.

Now created a working money system. You harvest raw ore (lumber), and then you refine that ore into pure ore (gold) that can be used. I posted a new version of the map with said money system.

Do not haste this project. Do not downlaod a bounch of models and set them together. Do not make bad systems. Take your time and do not release a beta after 2 days work.
Use alot of time building up good descriptions and well working and orginal systems!

My recommendation.

I will not haste it, no worries. Also, i will probably stick to the WC3 models. And i'll release beta when it's done.

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
