CnC RA3 MOD SDK Update Released

[[R] NuclearGeneral]

Two days ago, EALA released an update to the RA3 Mod SDK with game shaders and a common xml error. Along with this update, you can also export your 3D models! Here are APOC's words on it:

 

Hey everyone,

 

We've made an update to the Mod SDK to address a common XML error. We've also included the new 3DSMax Shaders in this updated SDK in case you have not downloaded them yet.

 

The updated XML included with the new version of the Mod SDK fixes the paths of the includes within the SDK XML to correctly use the DATA: prefix, instead of using relative paths. It should also be equivalent to the Patch 1.10 XML, which was built with the include path adjustments. There are no actual balance or other changes included.

 

Please download here:

To install, simply:

 

- Run the SDK EXE

 

-If you already have version 1.0 installed, simply use the Repair option during the installer process and it should install over the existing one in place

 

-You should back up your mods folder just to be safe

 

 

And, we've compiled a number of art source packs for you to use as reference for designing your own models, or simply tweaking some of our own signature ones to your liking. The selection below is meant to represent a collection of basic, signature, and advanced units and structures across all 3 factions in Red Alert 3. The art source packs contains the source Max, W3X, TGA, and XML files for each model.

Happy Modding,

APOC
