They looked great and added a real nice feel to Shockwave, I seem to recall a fan who originally made them and they were so good they were added officially.....

Well, I did create a ton of classic cameos for my fan patch for new units and upgrades, so I can tell you how.
The cameos are located in TGA files, in a grid system. For a classic cameo look, simply fill a small part of the bottom of each cameo with Black, at 70% opacity. Now, for the text, you will need the attached file. RA1_Cameo_Template.zip ( 4.64K ) Number of downloads: 13 This file contains the letters you need to create RA1 style cameos. Use the letters located closest to the top. Now, to add these letters, create a square around the entire letter. Copy from the template and paste onto the cameo. Now, use the color select tool to remove the blue you copied in. Repeat until you get the entire grid sorted out. I may decide to do this myself at one point, but at least you know what to do. |

Shouldn't this classic cameo package also have a thick black edge? RA1 cameos had such too.

I would like to see them too; that classic look adds a nice touch to the game.

I wouldn't mind making one but because the mod is in active development (unlike ShockWave) the cameos tend to change quite a few times and as such its extremely inefficient and annoying to maintain 2 sets of cameos.

If its not too hard, would it be possible to bold they hotkey, or put the hotkey letter in a different text colour in the cameo?
This would really help with memorizing hotkeys, and make micro a tad easier. -------------------- Many thanks to IvanMRM for my avatar and Star for drawing my epic signature. You guys rock!

You know, I did have an idea for classic cameos. In Red alert and Tiberian Dawn, the infantry had icons showing their weapon:
I wonder how this would look in ROTR, anyone interested in this? This post has been edited by Generalcamo: 30 Jul 2015, 14:50 |

Red Alert 1 and Tiberium Dawn were fairly simple games too, so assigning such icons wasn't all that difficult (also the fact that they made it easier to build what you want since you didn't have nearly as many options plus small resolution/palette range) but the same cannot be said about ROTR. Personally I like the idea but it's too impractical to implement since the amount of different icons required plus learning what they do doesn't seem worth it.

It's a cool idea, but I could see issues possibly with units that say, have two firing modes i.e different weapons per unit.... -------------------- |

For those interested, I have begun with making some Classic Cameos for test purposes and they work fine, but making the entire collection will take a long time so please don't expect any results for... quite a while, probably.

Censored by KGB? You realize this cameo is already in the game in 1.85, yes?
