MD2R reskin: C&C, Red Alert, Tiberium Dawn

by AivanF

Reskins mining drones with ore harvesters from CnC, Red Alert, Tiberium Dawn for MD2R. You can freely enable or disable this mod as it's only a cosmetic change, everything will work the same anyway. Graphics from C&C Harvesters mod by Daikael, but I also reworked it.

g Changing mining drone skin?

I've looked through all the settings, and I can't figure out how to change the skin for the mining drone. Is there only the one (the RA ore truck), or am I missing something somewhere?

This mod provides 2 skins which are defined by ores: closed one for uranium and tiberium ores (I suppose it's named Harvester), and one with open cargo for other ores (afaik it's called Ore Truck). I never played CnC, but I hope this division is reasonable, or you'd like to use one skin selected by your preferences in settings menu instead of dynamic choice by ore type?

Ahh, I see. I didn't realize it was a dynamic skin for the drones; I was expecting a user-selectable one.

(And it makes sense that the "hazardous" ores would use the Tiberium Harvester skin, while the "safe" ones would use the ore truck; speaking solely for myself, user-selectable skins for the drones are more of a "it would be nice" sort of thing, not a must-have.

That being said, though, maybe it'd be a good idea to update the documentation/mod description to explain the way the skin works? For instance: "When mining normal ores (such as coal, stone, or iron), the drones will use the Ore Truck model, but when mining uranium or Tiberium they'll use the Tiberium Harvester model instead.")

Hm, the label "Different harvesters are used for uranium / tiberium ore and other ones" was here from the start, I thought it's descriptive enough, together with the screenshots 🤔 Ok, I'll write in more detail 👌
