A new possible direction
Hello. Recently I was thinking about continuing this mod/game and I thought about a new direction that could possibly solve a lot of issues, that are present on the current 2D engine. Like lightening, unit rotation problems, long time editing sprites and many more.
Basically, I am willing to use a 3D engine to simulate 2D engine. It will simulate the present 2D layout, just like in many C&C games (TS,RA2), but it will use 3D graphics. The cameras position will remain the same, viewing from the 45° angle in the isometric view. With no camera rotation intended.
In some cases you may think it is a drawback. "Why just not to use some other 3D engine like C&C Generals?" you may ask. And I will answer that: "In the long run, I and probably a lot of other C&C gamers, were attracted particularly to the structured and ordered look of old C&C".
Let me know what you think and feel free to discuss this subject on your behalf.

It feels retro, I can agree with that. Less way to messup as well. In fact, I always found Warzone 2100 a bit tedious due to this, because I could always messup the camera rotation and then I always lost track of the battlefield. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

That sounds fine to me, like StarCraft 2. I like how although it's 3D and all it has a fantasic retro look yet up-to-date and works like the original. QUICK_EDIT
