Heh. A base vs base mission with side objectives that allow you to get in? C&C has quite a lot of those, actually. But the Westwood people made the habit of never spelling those things out, so it took the player a few Mission Failed screens to figure it out. For example, in both variants of the Rescue Moebius missions (#12), you can destroy the enemy base power from the side to disable their Obelisks. http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cncstuff/mappics/campaign-gdi/scg12ea.png http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cncstuff/mappics/campaign-gdi/scg12eb.png

I know you love the word FREE, but this implies there's no need to buy / own the game. The playing online is "free, forever", as in, cncnet won't suddenly start asking money for it Though I guess we can't actually guarantee the "forever" part in terms of keeping the service running, technically. Forever is a long time (though IIRC the server side stuff is freely available, so, yeah.)

DivineFrog: I suggest investing in an exorcist

Well, they did that for Yuriko's story :laugh:

Indeed. EA never made RA2 freeware.

Umm... you haven't heard of http://cnc-online.net?

CnCNet is a totally different server principle, though. XWIS is just the original way WW's online system worked. Just, using their servers.

Nice! I noticed you added it to ModDB

There's also no background... could be a user rights issue where it can't access its files? Or does this test version simply not have a background yet?

A copy of Emperor? That's kind of against the forum rules, Iran xD (Torrent it yourself, sheesh. I can give you clean exes though, if the torrent ones are no-cd hacked)

True, a group of bikes is really one of the best things to take down walls...

Haaaahahahaha! Wow. Alternate end: two GDI engineers and one Nod one sitting around a table, going "YES! A fourth man! Now we can play cards!"

Ooh, you're streaming Grey Goo campaign missions? Might actually hop in for that (I already finished them all, mind you )

Hey, if all else fails, you can use free moments in your building construction and actually make *gasp!* walls! :O

I don't think any official maps listing contains that. Must be a fan map.

Please don't Small reminder:

How does that give Nod an advantage?

Are you referring to the cursor not changing when it's over a stealth unit? Um, what? I'm talking about triggers. Mission scripting.

Chad1233 recently alerted me to its existence. The only thing I knew about it before was the fact the Westwood FTP contained/contains (that place is more in flux than Schrödinger's cat) a demo of it.

Actually, there's also Recoil... which also works with the Westwood Chat system http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tl59I3kpWw

Hehe. And when you're done with the campaign, as Tore already mentioned, there's some fun new missions in that New Missions menu, which I extracted from the playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of the game

That's usually censored versions in countries that don't like video games where you kill real people, though. C&C had robot soldiers instead :laugh:

C&C1 celltriggers don't react to stealthed units. It's actually really annoying for mission scripting :mad: On the AI abuse side: in C&C1, if the GDI enemy has an ion cannon, it's advised not to build Obelisks as Nod, but build groups of turrets instead, and build one single SAM site. The AI will target the SAM site, but as long as that isn't deployed, it can't destroy it. As long as you keep it repaired, it'll keep all your other buildings safe from ion cannons.

You realize that a lot of that game collection was created purely to help out people with problems, and to enhance C&C1, right? I bought the PS version of C&C1 to extract the missions from it to put them in my patch. I also put a unique C&C1 demo CD online, and a ton of scans and digital material from the things I bought.

hey AZ
