i was thinking to myself one day, "man, i would like to make something C&C, or like in that genre, maybe theres something like RPG maker out there that can do this?"many months, make it years now, later, i have been entirely unsucessful.

so in my last hope to think and make something cool, im asking you all, have you EVER seen something like this? at all?

thx for support.

    Closest I can think of to an RTS maker is the Map Editor for Warcraft 3. It's extremely in depth.

    would it be able to change the images for units?

    you can give any unit in the game pretty much any model from the game, from other units to trees to missiles. ou can create your own spells and abilities, it's pretty much limitless. Can't change the 100 food limit though. And the game has a large following of customizers, pumping out different models and skins to put in the game. It takes some learning but it's extremely powerful.

    An open source RTS engine. Seems flexible.

    Whats with this "Incompatable browser" BS? When I change my User Agent string to IE the page works fine! Whoever maintains this page needs a cluestick beating.

    Oh yeah, and I recommend learning C/C++ and some easy API like <a href='http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/' target='_blank'>Allegro</a> or <a href='http://www.libsdl.org/index.php' target='_blank'>SDL</a>. C++ really isn't that hard... Of course I've been using it for longer than I can remember, so I my judgement might be a bit off.

    EDIT: Another advantage of using those libraries is that there are a ton of premade libraries available for things like tile maps or sprites.

    Your brother was an idiot, then. That or you were looking at the library reference manual. Or he was BSing you. Six inches thick? Three of them? Ha.

    I've got my entire C/C++/ASM80x86 library, ten or twelve books, that take up maybe half a shelf total. The thickest one is two inches, and I never use it because it's a crap 'SAMS' book. The one I actually read and use is a spiralbound book labelled simply 'C++ Programming', which I'd picked up in high school. :b

    it was collage, he was lerning every little bit and byte of code there.

    im going to try fiddle with openCNC after i get the email back from them saying if its possable or not, aside im looking for something like RPGmaker, something easy to use, not notepad.

    also im lazy, and i dont really wanna spent my summer lerning c++, i have better things to do than spend all the summer in a hot boiling room on a hot summers day

    Sorry to burst bubbles, but if yo think you''re going to be able to make anything even sorta nearly kinda decent, you're going to have to learn programming.
