this is especially to Speeder and all other MO stuffs who had gone through modding experience,
i want to ask a question that is not related to MO, but please dun be alarmed. MO is a great game, as i know, u have gone through a lot of modding experience. i just want to ask if red alert 3 is convertable to red alert 2 using RA2 modding softwares. i just want to ask this. if u think its an insult or something(i dun find so), tell me, or simply lock it, i wouldn't say another word about ra3...

Do you mean redoing Red Alert 3 on RA2 engine? Well, limited conversion is possible. Very limited one.

But it isn't...Abbilities, protocols, all can't be done (well, some abbilities can be done but 99 out of 100 can't be done).
Please, if you see a mistake in my posts - spelling, grammar, punctuation, or whatever else - point it out. How can one learn from mistakes, if one is not corrected?

Surely you could just remake the units with voices, sound efects, etc recorded from RA3 rather than 'porting' them over? That would surely be possible, and very good if you pulled it off.

Yeah, but gameplay would be v. v. very different.

But the special abbilities can't be remade, some units can't even be remade, like the Assault Destroyer (it will hover, for that's the only way vehicles can be amphibious), or the Cryo Copter (it will instantly EMP anyone, not freeze). And supprot powers also can't be made, none of them...But don't really know what support powers there are, so.

Some special abilites could possibly be omitted or compromised without removing the overall 'feel' of the game. I think an EMP from the cryocopter would work, if flashy graphics were used. (The shirnk beam wouldn be a little difficult, though).

Some things would be very easy, such as the IFV: Just give it an aussie accent and your set. 'In a jiffy'! :p the Kirov is also pretty much identical, with the slight exception of the after burner thing. A lot of special abilities could also possibly be done through deployment: The Stingray, for example. (I'm refering to the widespread tesla attack in the water, not the whole walking on land thing).

Not really. For example, you mean that a normal Guardian Tank fires shells, and a deployed one a target pointer? Well, that would be unfair. You see, to make vehicles change weapon trough deployment, you have to create a different unit which uses the new weapon. So, Guardian Tank 1 (with shells) deploys into Guardian Tank 2 (with laser), but as it is a new vehicle, it gets all its health back. So, you can have invulnerable units. You'll see that nearly nothing can be made. Not the roar abbiliy from Bears, not the Mirage Tank cloak abbility, not the Kirov's afterburner, and definitly not the Empire's transforming units. And that were only some units that popped into my head, if you want you can psot a list of all units and their abbility and I'll say if it's possible to recreate.

Pacifier FAV would be possible (it can't move while deployed right?), as MCV's can also deploy into a building that retains teh health of the MCV, so simply give the building a weapon and you have your Pacifier. But nearly everything can't be done (good) in Red Alert 2.

Why do you want to do it. Go mod Red alert 3. It is really easy if you can think logical....
