Some suggestions for TA3D
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2010 11:15 am
TA3D is the first 3d rts I played (Yes I know I am a bit slow). I think that TA3D works better on Linux than on Windows. But for that reason I do not mean that windows got kicked by Linux. Many error has been found in windows and getting fixed. But some just remain unfixed during the debugging information can't be supported Windows. I really want to help but I only have small knowledge of C++. I thought for a while and I made some suggestions of improvements of the game.
-While the debugging information cannot be used by windows. Is it possible to download some codes or scripts to make it available for windows?
-Many users found it hard to install TA3D or even make it work. Some people on internet thought TA3D have everything so they do not to own/buy TA cds o play it. Like hpi files. It is possible to patch it in one VERY compressed zip file but it takes ages to load. If any improvements are made the creators need to compress all that file and upload it to the internet. It is the matter of time and the file size is just too big to be uploaded. If there is a is some sentences above the download link saying: The download file does not include (the files needed). You will need to get it from TA cds in order to play it.
That way users can't give negative comments to this game because you made yourselves clear.
Now we go to games...
-The game is awesome! The graphics is cool and the zoom command just kick butt! I would really like if TA3D can let us to go on First-Person mode to one bot or vehicle. You guys know that they are bad at aiming the enemy so it would be great if we can use it in FP.
-Some maps has special resources like: trucks, buildings, factories and ruins. It would be really kind of the creators if they could make a 3d model for that. Or even making their own map would be awesome!
-Many users like the game very much. But sometimes they do not know what commands they can use. Like shift+click. That command can let you to give multiple commands to the unit/s or give them multiple building commands. Apparently it doesn't work on windows. If you use it the game will crash. So maybe a readme file contains all controls that the user can use will be very helpful. Example:
.
.
.
Shift and click a unit can let you add more unit to your selection.
To give multiple commands use shift and click the command you want to give to an unit on the map. (It don't work on windows)
.
.
.
Something like that.
Thank you for reading my suggestions.
