Using OpenRA as a platform for teaching reverse engineering/ AI reinforcement learning?
I am planning on teaching a course next semester called 'Cheat to Win' and I am looking for a candidate to base the course around. OpenRA seems ideal because my students fell in love with the game last year, also I still have a PS1 with Red Alert and it was my favorite game for about a decade.
I have a few questions that the community might know about that my searching has not found. I am also looking for instances of "we tried that and it didn't turn out well."
Ideally, I would use dynamic code analysis to find where in memory the health and resources are for each entity.
Has anyone used YAML files for managing and adjusting settings?
Does Cheat Engine or GDB yield success with OpenRA? I would need to run some dynamic code analysis and these seem to be the best candidates with GDB being a bit more universally useful outside of this project.
Next I would like to modify the game. Ideally, I would use ghidra to decompile the code and make small adjustments to the resources that were discovered in the dynamic code analysis. I’d like to explore modding ideas such as adjusting building speeds, allowing players to build more than one item at a time (simultaneous production), giving certain units or buildings more damage points or health.
Finally, I would like look into the feasibility of integrating TensorFlow or PyTorch or any other method of developing AI agents to control gameplay. Ideally, I would like to set up an OpenAI Gym and let students models train. I saw this post from last month.
Don't take this as a 'hey guys... do my work' I am just casting a wide net so I can test the feasibility of OpenRA as the main focus of the concepts being taught... with a very interesting result.

Adjust OpenRA window resolution from the registry
Hey all,
I went to manually adjust the resolution in OpenRA and fat fingered the height so the window is now very wide and very narrow and I can't adjust it back to a reasonable size, nor can I resize using the mouse. Is there a workaround in the registry to adjust it? Already tried uninstalling/reinstalling and it was the same size.
TIA!

Is there a chance that the computer will become a lot smarter? #new-algo #chess ?
Are there any plans to improve the AI capabilities of the OpenRA game? It would be fun to have an AI that is harder. Like chess.

Are the solo campaigns available?
I'm new to C&C and I was curious in trying out the serie, which is why I'm interested in OpenRA, that and the fact that I have more faith in fans than EA for a legit remaster. I wanted to know if the solo campaigns for Tiberium Dawn and Red Alert 1 were available in their full ength along with the FMVs?
