as a long time player of Total Annihilation and someone who has downloaded tons of mods/maps/and units for TA as well as made a few, I was wondering the extent to which people will be able to mod this game? Some things in particular I was wondering about are: Planet terrain: Will people be able to make crystal planets, acid planets, all metal planets, etc like in TA? Basically anything other than different earth like planets? Unit build pics: This was a cool thing in TA where people could have really cool pics for the build pic of units. Supcom did away with that, will PA have that back in? Unit and weapon ID's: Something I remember that held a lot of stuff back was that weapon and unit ID's were hard coded into the TA engine I beleive and that limited how many unique weapons you could have in the game and unique units. Will PA have a similar system? Themed mods: Will Themed mods like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc be able to be made in this game? Sun colors: Will people be able to change the color of the sun in the solar system?
Planet biomes are fully moddable. So if you create the necessary 3D elements, you can easily add these planet types. PA already has build pictures for units; these are just a picture which can be changed to anything you wish. Most limitations in PA are based on how much RAM you have, rather than fixed numbers (or rather, you'll run out of RAM before hitting the limitations ) Yep! Already can . Here's a quick preview of a green sun:
sweet, looks like it will be just as cool to mod as TA was in the past! This is looking to be liek the true successor to TA we always wanted!
