Adding a new Vehicle to OpenRa is pretty easy.
First of all you need Graphics for your new unit. You can simply extract one of the units and an icon from conquer.mix using xcc mixer or you create yourself some new gfx.
I extracted 3TNK.shp and gave it a new turret (3dsm+xcc+ps...) + 1tnkicon.shp.
Now you need to rename them. e.g. 5tnk.shp and 5tnkicon.shp
Place both files in "OpenRA\mods\ra\bits" folder.
Now open vehicles.yaml ("OpenRA\mods\ra\rules") and search for "1tnk".
Copy all the related code and paste it at the end of vehicles.yaml.
Now change this code to fit your needs and change 1tnk to 5tnk.
That´s what i got.
| Code: | 5TNK:
Inherits: ^Tank
Buildable:
Queue: Vehicle
BuildPaletteOrder: 60
Prerequisites: weap

Now you need to add a sequence for your new unit.
Open sequences.yaml from "OpenRA\mods\ra" and copy the code from 3TNK paste it and change the entry´s name to 5tnk.
| Code: | 5tnk:
idle:
Start: 0
Facings: 32
turret:
Start: 32
Facings: 32 |
save everything and your done.

| This is really cool. For more polish though, you need to clone the husk too -- when it dies, it currently turns into a 2tnk husk! You can find the husk definitions near the bottom of vehicles.yaml

| We only support shp[ra] and shp[td] for units at this point. You can use a custom palette, but these custom palettes won't support player-colour remapping.

What's with people wanting faster gameplay these days?
If anything, we need more time to think, not less. Faster gameplay just takes the S out of RTS.

but it should not slow as Turnbase Stategy,since it's real time that's mean player need to think about the best stategy in limit time and make it happen before your opponent. i may like fast RTS but doesn't mean you can end the game in 3 second like what c&c3 or ra3 did.
and many people want to design stategy game like chess but they don't realize the game will fun to play or not.
and long time no see DVD

Recently attempted to replicate a jeep by using the same method and I keep getting this error when I create a game and yet the icon is in the right place (bits folder) along with its shp for the actual vehicle. I know I've done something wrong but being new to this I cannot pin point where I've gone wrong.
And yeah, necro post but I thought it was probably something small that it wouldn't need a new thread.
