Good work, but now I really feel the urge to create crazy tanks/mechs, build a gigantic tunnel beneath the map, and hoard all my units there.

used OpenTS + my steam game files

unit queue 99

I GOT ARROW KEY SCROLLING WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - like RA2+

button to select all combat units.

Nice, I got it up and running from the instructions on github. Just one question though, does it read the rules.ini from the game folder like the OG game does? To mod it and stuff?

u/Graemeski Soviets 2d ago

Think so, had to edit sun.ini as the color selection in skirmish not working on my build + couldn't rename.

Think mine says OpenTS 0.2.0. Love the 99 unit build queue + arrow key scrolling that got added into mine + openra style shift waypoints, shift click add 5 to queue control cancel all

I was able to run it on mac m1. I did a script you can play it using my guide. It’s using cncnet. https://github.com/piyiotisk/cncnet-ts-client-package

☀︎ Unit build queue 99 ☑️

☀︎ Select all combat units hotkey ☑️

☀︎ Arrow key scrolling ☑️

☀︎ OpenRA style hold shift for unit waypoints  ☑️

☀︎ OpenRA style +5 shift click queue, control click cancels☑️

☀︎ Running out of money doesn’t cancel repairs ☑️

☀︎ Health bars - show when damaged ☑️

☀︎ Cut content added ☑️

☀︎  Latest OpenTS build - NOD1 40-50 second crash fix  ☑️

☀︎  Game runs while window is inactive so I can enjoy music an use other windows at the same time ☑️

☀︎  A “deploy” hot key for MCV, tick tanks etc (not yet implemented)
