i am going to do a complete paratanks mod for RA2, and possibly YR. i was wondering what everyone thinks of it, and if its ever been done. any and all suggestions are welcome.

the plan is to make the art for the falling tanks and complete the coding so that allied paradrop drops one of every allied tank and soviet paradrop drops one of every soviet tank, just as a demo. i will also release a modder's edition, consisting of an expand.mix file with all the art and a file with recommended coding.

if these turn out well, i will also try to make a map-makers edition, using existing art.

On Deezire's MOD after the Giant Ants Level there is the E3 level and some tanks come in a paradrop. But ya it sounds cool I was trying to figure out how to do that on my mod.

For the 1 milionst time, you can only do it on map trigers or by making all tanks infantry!

[Psycho]

Hey it was also my idea ! A paratank package

[ryanman13]

i know exactly how to do it. i will make infantry that look like the tank only in some gear as if it was dropped. you must then deploy the tank to use it, and it deploys into the real thing.

[ryanman13]

sorry to double post, but i need a decent SHP editor...all i have is Will's SHP editor (cant make new SHPs) and some other one that can only compile sequences.

[Tratos]

You realise that SHP tanks wont tilt on slopes will look vrey strange.

[ryanman13]

alright, i will show you what i mean. within the next couple of days i will make it using existing images.

[ryanman13]

hmm...it seems that infantry cannot deploy into separate things.

What is it with all you people who want tanks paradropped? That'd just be unbalanced!
