The problem is that no engine easily accessible would really handle it and the teams that had intrest in such things long moved on. Nor would other teams want to implement ideas that weren't theirs. Paradox was a outlier in taste and aesthetics that has not been repeated. I personally am trying to implement a fan-faction we had of paradox into generals, and that's working out, but i'm on my own so progress is slow.

Like, abysmally slow.

You can see some of the stuff on my profile page though. last 4 pictures or so.

Most of this post has some weird iffiness about it here and there, and i am completely lost on what intellectual property tiberium secrets has accumulated and or how that even works with a mod. But what especially strikes me is the "Why Command and Conquer was successful" part. It feels like it completely misses the mark and leaves me wondering what the part was trying to tell me. To take a few examples: "The other core thing that made C&C such a groundbreaking and global success, is it hit on geosocietal politics of the day, in such a way that that it would be relevant and resonant for generations to come.". But the truth is: It didn't. C&C has always had a complete B-movie throwaway handwave plot, it never delved into the cold war or expanded upon it's setting in much meaningful detail. It never truly hit on geopolitical politics beyond simplistic exaggerations or attempts that fell flat in reality later (Generals is a prime example of this).

C&C never really was renowned for its writing. Nor for its simplistic hot takes. the settings it tried building up were largely left abandoned and picked up by modders or fanfiction writers. insight never really was displayed nor did it requires a depth of planning and future insight that is almost uncanny it in it's accuracy.

While I can agree that too much of the CnC community dwells on nostalgia and i myself sometimes do too, most of that paragraph reads like a poor man's management pep-talk.

I'm sorry if this comes over very blunt, but it really reads weirdly. And it doesn't help the point you're trying to make I feel. It probably confounds it a bit since i'm still not sure what to extract from that paragraph.

I could aid with that. I have bouncing terrorists.

But there's always a @communistrevolution function

they pretty much gave up on the engine when it came to light nearly nothing of what they wanted was possible in the engine. making a lite version would just be unneccesary torture.

Echoespro.creativereactor.ru

Quantum.creativereactor.ru

these two wikis are the sum collective we have going around.

putting the confederates in generals is probably possible but you'd have to reexport and change most ifnot all models. we never got the textures for paradox though.

Don't keep your hopes up. this engine was not made to mod.

yer ripping me apart. Where's the Astroscripts?

Unfortunately, Apocalypse was not only unfinished, but fundamentally not so fun to play. I'll ask to see if they're willing to release the old stuff for it. Sketch still owes me some textures.

AI was never worked on

Generals is more flexible but still has hardcode issues.

not yet. though some people HAVE been moving the old stuff to some other old wiki.

if you want to contact those people you can ask me or pavel.

disregard this. long live moddb's comment system

We're poking sketch. but he's a forgetful man.

Conscript, Flak trooper, Apocalypse.

Well, not really. We've sifted trough tons of fanfactions just to get the list we have now, and we're not in the mood to suddenly put in more. That said there's always the fanwiki. You need to talk to ProudAmerikan or Protroid.

You can't beat this legacy.

How about not possible? The paradox staff is engaged, with both life and education and things that take considerably less time then R A 3's coding problems, while the echoes staff lost its only coder. Both groups are probably not going to do anything in R A 3 anytime. You could ask for the beta-beta-beta version with it's wonky game play. perhaps they'll release that. Sketch will release the textures once he's less of a ditz.

Sketch is trying to hit the right persons to make it work. Stand by for fixing.

The wiki is still there and will be there for a long long time. It's a alternate universe lore project alright.

I have no idea what you're going on about. Try explaining it in a PM to me so I can help.

The models have already been released, so you don't need to extract them. You would need to animate them.

Echoespro.creativereactor.ru

We found one!

You'd probably have to ask permission from the paradox team and/or give credit.

Wikii as a site expired, we're moving to another wiki provider in due time so hold your horses!

Yeah, Sketch is kinda fuzzy-headed though so he keeps forgetting. Will come in due time so don't worry!

We have all the things on the wiki, yet making a new one will take time.

Basically, yes. The wiki is still there though.

Well, the paradox wiki was temporarily down due to no reason, but we lost the echoes and CNCfanwiki for good, the host stopped providing the service and took down all wikkii sites. We're still finding a replacement. The Paradox wiki is up again though!
