Now, I don't know at all how to do modding or skinning - in fact I'm only able to code html:wtf: - although I know its done tweaking the .ini files, but I was wondering about some things.
1. I like the the Westwood approach of strategy-games a lot. Their games have character. When you play a Westwood RTS, it's not just like any another RTS where you just tech up and rush. No, from Dune2 to Emperor, it had personality. This was due to a) Originality - remember Dune 2? and b) Movies - what would C&C be without Kane?
The b) part is what bothers me a bit in Generals. Is it possible to implement movies into the SAGE-game-engine... like what they do for the reporters?
2. Since I have now a dated pc, I'm obliged to go to the mods to get "new" games. Some of these mods are absolutely gorgeous, but sometimes you have the "gimme more" reaction :drool:
Is there a possibility to intermingle 2 mods? Example: putting the Shockwave and the Red Alert3 mod together.
3. Now, this sounds like a bit of re-inventing the hot water, but is there a DUNE mod available on SAGE and/or is it possible to implant the W3D-models (Emperor: Battle for Dune) into SAGE?
4. Is it possible to make a "strategical battlemap" into SAGE? (cfr. Emperor)
5. Is monster-spawning possible?
If you're wondering why, well, simply put, I have like an allstars dream, but also including the Dune-side of Westwood + Starcraft's Zerg (disguised as House Bene Tleilaxu) + Borg + Klingon (yes, Startrek).
I know, it's megalomaniac, but nobody died of dreaming ;)
