That's why I'm asking. Usually soviet tanks have good armour.

[Allied General]

well it could be a cheap disposable tank due to the nature of mass production that soviet countries have in cnc games.

I used one in my mod but it was a scorpion and it gained a rocket upgrade or something.

Besides the terror drone is a fast unit.

The name light tank is rather overused though

Just to clear up the light tank questions:

1) The light Tank isn't going to replace the Rhyno tank. The Rhyno tank is a key soviet unit so i can't possibly get rid of it.

2) For the time being the Light tank will be accessable by all Soviet forces but may make the unit an exclusive unit to Cuba or Lybia

3) The design for the light tank was stolen from the Allied forces so now the Soviets have the only access to it

We have a new Cameo addition, which i think look really nice.

Thanks to Mig Eater i know have a English Geo-Thermal Plant Cameo which will go nicely in the game

[Allied General]

how you fixed the glowing red ball

Ha ha ha very funny

I'm hopeing it was just my old computer that graphic didn't like, once i re-install RA2 and my Mod contains the neccessary building (because i'm putting everything back in from scratch) it SHOULD work.


Do you have any idea why it may not of worked in the first place?

[Allied General]

forgetting to add the coding under animations_list? file names being wrong

[Shine On]

Damn it

I was having a thought this morning about what things i should add to my mod after i've got all the units sorted...

...and (if you don't mind) i was thinking of doing a few Upgrades to buildings, using your tutorial as a guideline.


but i don't know what sort of things i could do that you havn't already done in your mod

[Allied General]

only things I haven't done is like add flying monkey and unbalanced $1 super units

Oh I done side specific hero units for allies and aircraft.

Ok just to update a few of you on some new units going to be added, the following shall now be included for the British Army:


Challenger


Technician

**slumps down in computer chair and starts typing**

We'll all i can say for now is that i've given Fenring several little Cameo tasks to try and forfill for me ASAP. So most graphical work will now be done by him, that will also allow be to get on with some coding and then give you all some in-game screenshots

Yesterday i gave myself a refresher coarse on adding units which was, ummm, interesting but now i safely say i'm on the correct path again.

however since i feel like SHIT today and the fact that i won't be around next week because of my Chemotherapy i thought i'd a have day play Halo 2 etc.


This post may seem pointless but i'd thought i'd keep everyone up-to-date and as of the 22nd i should have some more stuff to tell you all...

Hero Units - A Sneak Peak

I have Overhauled (well at least started to) the whole YR concept of country Hero Units. Now the Majority of countries (not all) will have their own Hero Unit to help them on the battle field.

They can now be identified by the new Crosshair symbol in the top right corner of the Cameo. White for standard, gold for veteran. All together there will be about 5/6 different Hero units to use. Here are 4 examples of the cameos:

Well your both right

Now children let's all sit down and listen to a small story

Way back when i first joined the CNCGuild i started production of the Xenophobia mod. It was just designed for RA2 and not overly professional. That's were i first met Allied General and thats when he started to critisise my mod

You can still find the Threads under the "Red Alert 2 and YR Editing" Forum http://forums.revora...p?showforum=228

Yes it was "Constructive" Critisism which i like, but it still upset me since i was new at modding...

...anyway i scapped the mod altogether, and Until 4 months ago (as you know) i came back and desided to totally re-designed and re-do it for YR.


So there you have it, another bit of useless information



On anther note, if anyone wants to play the OLD version of Xenophobia i still have a copy stored in my archives
Just for a laugh

[Allied General]

lol crushing the young spirit of hope
