REDaLUA


Altair from our forums has updated REDaLUA, a Red Alert clone. And this game looks freakin awesome! There are a few pesky bugs, and some unfinished stuff, but once it gets all its bases covered, I'm sure it'll be something to look forward to.

The implemented features :
  • Every unit can be selected one by one or by using the selection drawbox.
  • All units can move seperately at the same time. Number doesn't matter.
  • Saving/Loading - Only one save game though. Might be buggy.
  • Shooting works, but could be better.
  • Menus implemented. Not all buttons work though.
  • Team selection works now - You can select as many units as you want and also put them in multiple teams. For now you can select 4 teams, the number will be increased later.
  • Mining also works now. When the truck is full it will return to the refinary. However not the other way around unfortunately.
  • Health, Repairing, Scrolling, Sound added.
  • The features list will get longer soon. And I'd urge you to try out this game. It's that good!
Here's a couple of screenshots of the game:

This game needs Lua Player. Grab it if you don't have it. Thanks to our "anonymous" reporter for the tip!

OMG. That looks soooo much like the PC game. Quality bit of homebrew. I hope it plays as well as it looks!

So far so good. Looks nice, and the idea is great, but there is a lot of work to be done to get it perfect. Keep up the good work!

 » If we can get this working...

We gotta get starcraft, AoE and Warcraft working.....

I can't imagine a port of the original diablo is too far off now either.

Keep up the great work coders!

Good job retard, look at the source(oh wait you dont know how to read lua?) and see just how poor of a design went into this game. Its a mess of spaghetti code that barely works. You guys have to realize that lua isnt capable of running an efficient game engine that is flexible and modular. As well, its completely unfeasible, thats why no big game developers use lua to write games.

umdemulator 0.8c src is released... :)

 » to 25...

Why bother :) most people understand that an AI is not doable in LUA... heck most game devs can barly create a good AI on any platform.

However, efforts like this are still fun and something good might come out of it in the end.

 » Wow!

THIS is why 1.5 PSP's are going for $200-$300 on Ebay . . .

This is the homebrew stuff of dreams . . .

Finally, a reason to break the dust off of my 1.5! Thanks!

 » CoderX and spanish inquisition are morons

@CoderX, of course this crappily coded lua kicks yours cause yours is so *****ty it's not worth mentioning. ESPECIALLY when you release every day so you can be on the front page when all you do is NOTHING but add on more "pic 1 move here" comands

@spanish inquisition, so this looks good, so what? no one said that lua can't display beautiful pictures. what i don't see is an ai, WHICH IS WHAT EVERYONE WHO SAID A GAME LIKE THIS CAN"T BE MADE SAID.

you morons suck, and are taking my air. be kind enough to stop breathing

props to this author as i'm a huge C&C fan, and that he didn't release this when it was in a pre-infant stage which is what CoderX and that 101skaterkid did just to get fame and attention cause they were abused as a child.

   by CoderX (Unregistered) - 2006-05-03
 » Dr.Phill

I sence some anger

You bring up the issue of being abused as a child mostlikly be it is an experence your fimilar with

Would you like to talk about it

   by skeptical (Unregistered) - 2006-05-03
 » I agree 100% with #30


This looks nice, but it is not a game until there is enemy AI.

I have better hopes for Starcraft 64, woot!
