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.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
