So realistically, it's a non-issue -_-

No, I'm asking what exactly makes it incompatible. What makes it unsync if the setting is different at both sides, if the units that trigger it are never accessible in normal MP games anyway?

Ugh. No, sorry, been busy.

Would that actually desync unless someone modded in a gnrl or Einstein and actually loaded it into a chinook, though? Or would it just desync from the moment anything is loaded into a chinook?

Does RA use the same "impassable borders with holes at the right places right outside the visible map" system?

C&C1 is originally a DOS game. Such games only look in two places... the game install folder, and the CD. Now, which one do you think you'd have to put custom maps in? :roll: (hint: it's the one that is not read-only by design)

Tiberian strategy? Not a clue what you mean. Did you try the Search function?

Run generals in Administrator mode. These version problems are NOT caused by patching and such. You simply have to run the game in Administrator mode.

Maybe there should be a simple check in that field that it can't be the name of the own executable...

it's not just Windows 8. Same thing on Win7. http://servicecore.info/2012/09/how-to-fix-loadlibrary-failed-with-error-126-problem-on-windows-systems/

That would indeed be pretty much how it'd need to be done, though, I think C&C doesn't need any 'label' objects to write text on screen. Problem is, the game is still 256 colour, and the videos use that full scope of 256 colours to get good video quality. Where the normal game makes sure certain colours are always the same on all palettes the game uses, like white, black, certain greens etc, the videos don't do this at all. This means you'd have to figure out, per video, and even per scene with a different palette per video, which colour index to use. I'd also probably have to rewrite the text to the screen buffer after every single single frame load. At the moment, I haven't really experimented with this since I'm not too sure how the loading, using and colouring of fonts works.

OOS means "Out Of Sync", and means the games are not acting the same way on each player's PC. It's quite obvious that when not all people have the same map, that's exactly the kind of thing that causes that.

Did you try calling them EINSICON.SHP and DELPICON.SHP? IIRC the game cuts it off after 4 characters.

Yeah... they just recoloured it a bit for the different ant types. On a related note, in the missions themselves, the different ant colours are actually simply done by assigning the full-remap ant to different houses.

wide-screen resolution cameos? Those are just a lazy cutoff of the darkened bottom part

Oh goddammit... Apparently Mediafire finds it funny to do copyright detection. Fricking hell. And they're also starting to block multi-volumes apparently... Here's the full SS iso (Nero Burning ROM format, since it supports the audio part)... not blocked yet from what I can see: http://www.mediafire.com/?p2t5xbbdhdcb0lo http://www.mediafire.com/?iyisa5dhe47gfnd http://www.mediafire.com/?lxcgsev8626rjbl

That could just be a sign of the silos being full... I know it's an actual mechanism in C&C95. If your silos are 100% full and the harvester needs to unload, it just stops since it's no use.

Right click scroll was first introduced in Tiberian Sun. Don't judge older games by the features added in their successors

Are the filenames the same in DOS RA and in RA95? [edit] Doesn't RA95 have a 12point.fnt too?

That's the kind of filters that censors any talk about an airplane's cockpit, making a totally innocent word suddenly seem horribly vulgar

Allen262... which fonts do you need upscaled, and to replace which RA95 fonts? -_-

I don't see the use of adding the internal code to the ingame icon...

Yeeah... but which ones are needed? -_-

Well, go ahead.
