I'VE STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME AGAIN OUT OF SHEER BOREDOM. SHOOSH.
Skinning robots and parts is 500 times easier in this game:

Add to it, it doesn't seem like this game has any AI folders OR things that mention AI robots. It just has the bot files and... That's about it O,o
(Of course, they are all .gmf files)

So yea, seems like RA1 can be easily modded.
Especially because the Components file is a freakin' notepad file, and one could easily set all the weapons to have like 5,000,000 HP.

I dunno', I've only just started playing around/SnoooPING AS usual through the game's files.

RA1 was best RA. I should download a copy of that again. What was the code for an automatic $50,000?

Hold Shift -> Press 4 -> Cash gets set at 50,000
Stock Opponents are cake-walk.
Opponents from the patch are "pretty good".

And as far as skinning goes, I'm PRETTY SURE you can use .tga files and/or .bmp files for basically anything, and the game won't care.
...Unlike RA2, which tends to be a little specific.

Few hours + Me goofing off some more, I have figured out how to make transparent things in RA1:

No, its not a .tga file. It actually involves using the hexadecimal value of a color, in order to actually tell RA1 what is transparent and what isn't.
That, is just cool as

.

So yea, I herd that Patriot lieks Mudkipz

So J had this theory about the game letting you make ANYTHING transparent, if you simply slap a text file onto it.
And to J's surprise:

He was right

I think Click was working on some of them.
I forget, though.

ALRIGHT, I DECIDED TO GET IT OVER WITH AND MAKE A 99% TRANSPPARENT ROBOT:

(MLP Flag + Decal. So sue me)
Whats funny, is nothing in this game casts any shadows.
So unless they have that transmitter, GG HUMAN OPPONENT.
...Provided, EVERYTHING on the robot was invisible.
