Quote: Singleplayer RTS Mod for CoDWAW.
While the idea of a RTS isn't original, writing the logic and controls for a strategy top down game isn't something I've done before, or seen much of it's nature simiarly done (not another zombie mod :P ), so decided to recreate a gaming experience for strategy enthusiasts.
CoD is a First Person Shooter, so there's a lot of hacking going on, but the script/mod will be available as open source when it's done if people want to use it to make RTS maps or even implement Coop 2vs2 RTS Gameplay. I'm trying to modulate the script as much as possible so it works with CoDMW, CoDWaW, and most likely CoDMW2 unless there's a drastic script language change.
*Taken From Project Page
If anyone wouldn't mind helping to make a map that would be neat, it doesn't have to be spectacular with brushwork, just lot of optimal terrain patches, no interior work for buildings, and placement of models for cover.
I'll try to keep this thread updated. |

Just a small update:
http://www.xfire.com/video/7ef5a/
(Nothing in the video is scripted, just me pointing and clicking)
Got camera controls and basic unit controls down.
After some thought I am going to make it 2 vs 2 RTS. USA vs Germany for now.
There is a 32 AI limit, and if each person had a group of AI that would mean 8 per user which would be boring to control. So using some noggin and workarounds, each side will have an Infantry player and a Vehicle player. Infantry players control 16 man units and the other player controls 16 vehicle units... which means 32 vs 32 unit warfare.

Good point. I'll lower down the amount of tanks.
The vehicle player will also get to call in bomb strikes but those will cost more and take a while to build in queue that way they can't just bomb the other teams base constantly.
Here's another update, not much from the last video but I got more work done on unit control, more precise selection from bird eye view, in this one I actually switch off selecting different units and commanding them and added in HUD elements.
The hard part is done, got all the math stuff out of the way, just need to script the gametype and making the AI think on their own a bit more while reacting to player micro-management.

Stock maps have lot's of detailed environment often including interior, this would be a waste of performance + stock maps are too small probably. |
