In order to include a bit more variety within eact side, I think it would be a good idea to split each of the 3 sides (Tibs, Reds, and Gens) into 3 different factions. An expample would be:
Tibs:
- GDI
- NOD
- Mutants (They used abandoned TD vehicles in TS, so it wouldn't be as silly as it sounds.)
Reds:
- Allies
- Soviets
- Yuri (He needs a bit more representation)
Gens:
- USA
- China
- GLA (Just like in original Generals)
Each faction would receive a small price cut on its particular units, and possibly have an upgrade and superweapon unique to them. What do you think?
i think we could do that but in the first version it might be better to make the 3 sides and in a second release that we put in the generals. and the 3 generals from each side joined forces so a soviet general would have lots of allied stuff, he would just get some special unit maybe the apocalypse tank or something. and the gens from generals wouldnt be thesame anymore either.

Will you guys really gonna do this huge MOD?
I mean you have to modell and skinn every unit and building. This might take a year or so.
Well good luck!!!
I'm looking forward for this MOD.

as far as i can see there's no new cnc game coming out and it wont come out fast either.
and the mod is huge maybe, but not that superbig.

this mod is huge, which is exactly why I want an ll-Star team to make it.
I like your idea CommieDog and depending how hard t is to implement we might want to put it in hte first version. If its too hard we'll put it in the second.
Also keep in mind most of Yuri's units require psychic powers which is not possible in Generals.
Posted by: Firion Corodix - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 5:27:30 AM
yeah yuri aint really possible, magnetron tank?? that wont do for yuri so yuri can't have ****.
for the generals just let em be like now, air gen and so on only here do what's best to do, like a defense gen who's units have better defense but are slower and a little bit weaker in firepower.
Posted by: Blbpaws - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 5:35:07 AM
maybe, i don't know about defense Gen. I thought we would do China, GLA, USA.
And also, the magnetron tank is probably not possible.
just going china, gla and usa? then you can't really say the 3 sides merged anymore because they have 3 different armies. i really think we should do some specialized gens instead of things like usa, gla, china and so on.
Posted by: Blbpaws - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 12:32:55 PM
good point. Any other opinions?
Lets focus on making things first hen we'll worry about other stuff.

We could always branch the Mod into another Mod after we are done this one.
Posted by: Blbpaws - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 1:14:02 PM
yeah. I think th eprimary concern is making models and skins

It wouldn't be hard at all, as long as you can find someone good with cameos and limited the sides to upgrades and cost reductions.
[quote=Blbpaws]Also keep in mind most of Yuri's units require psychic powers which is not possible in Generals. [/quote]
That's true; the only thing you can do to emulate a mind-control ability in Generals is to make a superweapon that permantly "mind-controls" one unit.
[quote=Blbpaws]And also, the magnetron tank is probably not possible. [/quote]
Also true. If you wanted to add it, you would have to replace the vehicle-moving ability with something else (like using the beam to disable tanks and aircraft).

That is [i]NOT[/i] what I am suggesting. If you were to add an upgrade to each side and reduce the cost of a few units, they would still be more similar than the ZH Generals. I'm proposing something more like the concept generals of original Generals.

yeah. A cameo maker is just basically an image maker right?
I'm not sure we want to have a SW that only controls one unit.
Right. I see what you are saying an its a good idea. If we could get a cameo maker i would like to do it.
Posted by: Sagi - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 2:57:45 PM
I saw a cameo maker somewhere.. do you need one?
Posted by: CommieDog - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 3:16:41 PM
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it as a stable superweapon. Definately not as a special ability for a unit, anyway.
Sagi, do you mean someone who can make cameos or a program?
Posted by: Blbpaws - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 3:34:54 PM
can't you just use photoshop? AstraL said he was good in that so maybe he could do it.

I may make you any cameo you like...
And I meant a program... I saw one somewhere... don't remember... if you need...
Posted by: Blbpaws - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 4:25:44 PM
is a cameo just an image or a special kind of image?
Posted by: Sagi - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 5:37:49 PM
Just a specific image type.
Posted by: Blbpaws - Thursday, April 8, 2004 6:11:57 AM
what type? Can photoshop do it? Or can it be converted from like a JPEG?
Posted by: Firion Corodix - Thursday, April 8, 2004 8:18:06 AM

"on page one" he said.
It should be in .tga format.
Don't ask 'can questions'.
No need to spam, both of ya.
Posted by: Blbpaws - Thursday, April 8, 2004 2:28:59 PM

Posted by: Sagi - Sunday, April 11, 2004 12:36:16 AM
A Cameo is a 62x50 tga type of image.
