Red Dawn?

[bwheatley]

I think the AT engine would be awesome for doing a Red Dawn type scenario.

[BULLDOGINTHEUK]

I agree. You gonna start it then?

[bwheatley]

I guess i can take a crack at it. It's weird that being a programmer by trade i find game api's very intimidating sometimes i don't know why. Weird huh? Is there a US map already out there? I guess i could use the map for the 2nd civil war scenario to start it? or should i make it bigger ?

[bwheatley]

I am working on a red dawn scen now using the USA map out there for 2nd civil war.

[BULLDOGINTHEUK]

We will look forward to it [:)].

Well i have a lot of the new rifleman, tank photos loaded into db and am using the realist mod for the terrain looks. Debating how i am going to handle some of the airpower stuff. To start i might just completely change research to 2 levels and work in 3 & 4 when i get done that way i can get it up and get someone to play with me to test balance etc

I imagine helecopters, modern ships and missles will be the hardest to mod.[/align] [/align]It will be interesting to see how you tackle these problems (if indeed it is possible).[/align] [/align] [/align]

[bwheatley]

well to start i'm not going to mess with too much of the internals get the ground forces down update pictures etc. Helicotpers and all the other fun stuff i'm going to wait for v2 Have to crawl before you can walk.

Nice. Looks like you've done a lot already!

[marcusm]

Nice but why not redo Fortress America? That would make an excellent diplomacy game.

[bwheatley]

Funny that you mention that becuase that was another game i liked as a kid. Though it was incredibly hard for anyone but the americans to win after what 10 turns you don't get anymore reinforcements and you get smoked. But that was another thing i wanted to do.


@vic
Anyway that we can script setting a gamevar in a later release? I went through and created 100 gamevars for cities and i wanted to run a setvar on a gamevar based on the # of the loop but i'm stuck now because to set a gamevar i have to use the gui. So now i'll have to create 100 events that i will have to reference thats just a lot more code i didnt want to have to write. So just something i thought would be nice. or maybe there is a way to do it that i don't know yet?
