*4th faction logic which includes: A working 4th base unit, so no more things blow up error. and if possible a whole new setting for this new house, so it wont think its actually Allied or Soviet anymore. But thats an AI bug. Update: Remember to have hardcoded 4th unit to disable 'Short Game' bug.

*Make Super Weapons side specific with the tags OwnableBy= and CanNotBeOwnedBy= fx. You play as Yuri and you have your paradrop and you get a Soviet paradrop then you can't use it

*Make a kinda "spy tank" which makes vehicles able to act like infantry spies - just that they're vehicles [pd]
*Add a new [DogType] with Factory=DogType, AI Links and everything needed for the new UnitType.
*a couple of extra multiple prerequisite listings, like "PrerequisitePower=", my guess is Depot, Naval, CNST(Construction), and some miscs, like Misc1, Misc2 etc... would be very usefull.(you might want a repair ship available to all sides requiring any naval yard and any repair depot.)

Add animations when recieving damage when shield is alive if possible. - something like: HasShield=yes/no; if yes Shield=numeric like strength - this should also hang up some additional pips in pip.shp if possible; DamageAnim=work exacty like DamageSound= (plays when hit) but anim.

*The Refinery uses a combination of Active Anims and Special Anims to display it's various ore-depositing animations. The Grinder also uses Active Anims and Special Anims to display it's Grinding animations. This is unfortunate because it makes it severely unattractive if you want to combine a Grinder and an Ore Refinery into one building (something I desperately want to do). Ideally, a new set of art tags like "GrindingAnim=, GrindingAnimTwo=, GrindingAnimYSort=, etc, would be extremely useful. Obviously, to maintain compatability with unmodded YR these would be used for the Grinding function instead of the original anim tags, but only when they were present. When GrindingAnim=, etc, are omitted then the game will use the old method.

*Turn the game into a 3Diso (four directions n,e,s,w)game like Sim city. The hard code part may not be to difficult but the cross reference for infantry shp & voxel and terrain tile will take some time. Also the shp building would need to be rebuild but the modder community would do that.

This is legacy information, included here for historical purposes.


Totally new Features

Table of Contents

Note: the following wishlist is now OBSOLETE, stored for archiving purposes only.

  • The ability to customize the advanced command bar, so that the ability to sell units and toggle power abilities, could be restored and more. Also fix the Sell Unit from Bunker Bug.
  • 4th faction logic which includes: A working 4th base unit, so no more things blow up error. and if possible a whole new setting for this new house, so it wont think its actually Allied or Soviet anymore. But thats an AI bug. Update: Remember to have hardcoded 4th unit to disable 'Short Game' bug.

  • Make SuperWeapons side specific with the tags OwnableBy= and CannotBeOwnedBy=. You play as Yuri and you have your paradrop and you get a Soviet paradrop then you can't use it

  • Add more veterancy stages support, not just rookie, vet and l33t. 5 would be good, including Elite2Primary and secondary, same with Elite3, Elite2Abilities, same with Elite3. The name are, of course, on your own. Also I would like to see VeteranPrimary= and VeteranSecondary=.

  • [HeDiesMeDie] this should allow a unit to die when another unit that is specified dies. More then one. This will allow articulated units to be made. Like the Big train I made a long time ago.
