Thanks yeah I actually did grab some of the audio files and did just that with manually trimming and splicing the quotes. I also found out there were some extra audio files in the old Beta version of the game that I managed to get hold of as well. This included some missing EVA and Thief quotes not present in the retail release version of the game.

Particularly the ones that say "Installing" and "Upgrade/Installation Complete" for RA1. I know the C&C1 EVA has similar recorded files which I have used in the past. I know the RA versions exist as you can hear some of the voice clips in the Radio 2 Remix. I scoured the .MIX files but I could not find them unlike the C&C1 counterparts which were easily found. If anyone has files of the individual voice clips in question, I would greatly appreciate them. My other option would be to try isolating the voice clips from the song using audio editing software which IME has had mixed results when it comes to preserving the quality.

I still got a lot to figure out but if I can get the campaigns replicated (as I am hoping to eventually do) the tech tree should remain faithful just as I did for TDR. I may still do subfactions for these other planned units too. Overall I don't wish for the mod to be a clone of The Red Alert and instead more of a hybrid of RA: A Path Beyond and C&C Renovatio (sadly the latter never released and is left unfinished) in its art style and unit design.

I got some structures put together and animated including the RA MCV and ConYard. And also I did get the naval stuff working. Still needs full AI implementation though but the next release of Tiberian Dawn Redux will have this included as Tech Buildings. The yards also automatically rebuild if destroyed after 10 minutes thanks to using the GLA Hole code from Generals.

Been doing more research and brainstorming for ideas. Yeah looks like the above tank is supposed to be depicted as a M41 Walker Bulldog. I initially considered it being a M47 Patton as they both have a very similar profile. However the M47 has six road wheels vs five on the M41. I also enhanced a frame from the same cutscene for comparison. And upon further thoughts, I am leaning more towards going for a more realistic tone for the game with the sides using early 1950's to early 1980's hardware. Also Soviets wont have reskins of American/Allied hardware such as the Chinook and Tanya and will instead get their own unique units. Like I did with TDR I also added all new units such as the Ontos Tank (modernized), the Comanche & Osprey aircraft, and the T-72 tank. I plan to do that to an extent as well for RA Redux and use some obscure real life vehicles that havent been featured much in games or other media. I still would like to make use of my M48 model somewhere but I can also delete the turret and turn it into a M247 Sgt. York armored AA vehicle as the Allied answer to the Soviet Mammoth Tank and its anti-air capability. I also plan to use some modified variant of a Soviet BMP, MTLB, or GMZ vehicle as an APC/Mine Layer to further differentiate its appearance from the Allied APC (an M113) and since the Chinese Helix in Generals is a Ka-27 in real life I don't see any issue with modifying it for the Soviets to replace their reskinned Chinook. And while its commonly accepted that the Abrams was the Medium Tank for both GDI an Allied forces in the two games, I am considering my M60-120S model posted above to swap in for the Allies tank.

***STATUS UPDATE FROM THE BATTLEFIELD*** Welcome Back Commanders & Generals! Since completing the original story campaign remaster back in 2017, C&C Tiberian Dawn Redux development did slow down during a hiatus period but the mod's development never truly ceased. Here is what to expect in the next release that will be coming soon for version 1.5! Over the past three and a half years the mod quietly underwent another visual overhaul with nearly all new terrain & shaders along with some updates to many of the models and textures with lots of extra details added to give more "final polish" to the mod. Some code changes and re-balancing work was done during this time based upon your feedback from the last release and work was also put forward to port the visual updates with the terrain and environment into the stock unmodded Generals/Zero Hour game maps as well. (release To Be Announced at a later date) A couple new upgrades will be in v1.5 such as the Mammoth Tank RailGuns along with adding and converting several additional Skirmish/Multiplayer & Community Maps. And lastly, while it is still a work in progress for AI implementation, the mod has added Naval Warfare! Nearly two dozen maps with islands or lots of water will be modified to have this feature enabled! This includes the original Generals/Zero Hour maps! (ZH Bombardment Beach Map Featured Below) This is the Tech Naval Yard that can build either a GDI GunBoat, Nod Missile Submarine, or an Amphibious Transport Hovercraft. This is all prototype content that will also be used in the future for the newly launched C&C Red Alert Redux mod! While GDI already has the missile equipped GunBoat with AA guns, Nod now has a stealthy submarine equipped with missiles to take out land and air targets along with torpedoes to take on other naval units.The unit is leftover from Nod's involvement with the former Soviet Union. (based on the Red Alert 1 Soviet victory) New Heal & Repair Radius Decals used as a visual aid for the APC's and Engineer's auto heal/repair ability previously introduced in v1.4. And lastly here is the new visual aid decals for the ConYard Build Radius. ConYard Build Radius Demo Clip - Mod DB With all this being said, we appreciate your continued support for this this mod and the new Red Alert Redux mod project. Until then, stay tuned for the next release! DOWNLOAD CURRENT RELEASE HERE TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ's FACEBOOK PAGE ©2021 sgtmyers88 & the C&C Tiberian Dawn Redux Development Team

Hey guys as I mentioned about a month ago in another post I recently started RA Redux. Using XCC Mixer (yes I got the latest version) I am having issues with the campaign cutscene videos getting corrupted or being a colorful mess during playback. I am extracting as the recommended .avi as I did for the TD videos. Also I cannot seem to find the map layouts for the RA missions and whatnot. I know in the past I used Nyerguds database as a reference which proved invaluable for finishing the TD Redux campaigns. Example: https://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cncstuff/mappics/n64-testmaps/sct15ea-nomap.png Is there a section for Red Alert that I am somehow missing?

I know this is an extremely old post but thanks for the contributions. I just implemented this over the weekend. Looks good.

Funny I went over that thread and saw the discussion about slapping on a turret from one tank to another. I recently made a model of such a thing that was done in real life. Its the M60-2000 tank. Looks pretty good in-game. It actually resembles that render quite closely. The real tank was 20 tons lighter than the M1 but possessed the same turret and gun. https://www.moddb.com/games/cc-generals-zero-hour/addons/m60-120s-tank-model-for-cc-generalszh-public-use I have quite a few unused models in my inventory which is the reason why I considered my Patton Tank model, but nothings finalized in the least. Also the Soviet side is getting new stuff and not a copy/paste reskin of American equipment the Allies use. (e.g. The M113 remodeled as a Minelayer and the Chinook Transport) Yeah I played it 15 years ago when it was new. It hasn't aged well. I almost did RA Redux due to that mod back then before I settled on doing TDR instead. I might look it up again for reference material at the least. I already got a much better attack dog animated in game too. I used my actual German Shepard for the texture.

I have a lot of ideas in the works. It might still happen. I may even do both. Release RA Redux as a standalone mod with custom maps and a full Ore system working while also porting the factions alone to TDR in a patch using the remaining Generals SubFaction templates. Also I already got Attack Dogs working in-game that I will reveal shortly. I got a few things to sort out still. Same with Naval stuff which I haven't got coded and working yet. I have a lot of stuff I have been sitting on for quite a while behind the scenes.

EDIT: The new mod profile is live! So long time no chat. lol ? Since finally completing the story campaigns for Tiberian Dawn Redux a couple years ago I have been repeatedly approached about carrying the mod over into the RA universe with a spinoff. I haven't decided if it will be a mini-mod type add-on built into TDR (think GDI/Nod vs. Allies/Soviets in skirmish) or a standalone project built off of the renovated C&C Generals SAGE engine TDR is now using. I know a lot of the assets and coding between the original TD and RA games is nearly the same so it would streamline development quite a bit. (looking into the original game files I noticed a lot of the art and audio assets are using the same filenames to confirm this) The biggest hurdles I have will be making a decent naval system, designing, coding, and animating attack dogs and then the Chronosphere stuff. I may also (as I did with TDR) consolidate the unit and structure tech tree and add unit upgrades and special abilities. (e.g. Engineers doubled as Mechanics and APC's doubled as Medics) So who wants Red Alert Redux? And I will say it will not be a 1:1 remake. As I did with TDR I aim to keep as much of the original wacky tech and atmosphere Westwood developed for TD and RA but also have a more realistic spin on it in both appearance and gameplay. I have been considering consulting with the former Cold War Crisis Mod Team and the guys behind Red Alert: A Path Beyond.

I've been lurking for a while but now that the remasters are out and I got a better idea on what they contained, I decided to work on the Mod some more for perhaps one final update. Also... who wants to see Red Alert Redux? I know it was brought up a few times some years ago before the remasters were even thought of, but I figured now is the time to consider it now that work on TDR is winding down with the main campaigns completed. While it's still in the very early stages of development, Red Alert Redux is slowly being brought to life. I haven't decided if it will be a mini-mod type add-on built into TDR or a standalone project built off of TDR since a lot of the assets and coding is nearly the same. The biggest hurdles will be making a decent naval system, designing, coding, and animating attack dogs and then the Chronosphere stuff. As with TDR I do not plan to make it a 1:1 remake for both reasons regarding the limitations within Generals SAGE and personal artistic liberties. I may also (as I did with TDR) consolidate the unit and structure tech tree. (e.g. Engineers doubled as Mechanics and APC's doubled as Medics in the current mod)

Hi sorry for the long delay in replying. Yes it is a Win 10 and/or EA Origin issue that seems to have screwed the use of the batch file launcher system. Its why I added and updated the file to the ModDB site so the mod can still be made playable until a fix is found.

He was more than likely your introduction to C&C. Sadly this man died today. R.I.P. Eric Martin. AKA General Sheppard From Frank Klepacki's FB page: https://www.facebook.com/frankklepacki/photos/a.10152270147338730/10156135467323730/?type=3&theater;

To answer the question I think that should be a resounding yes.

Glad to hear that fan projects will be unaffected by EA.

Incredibly unexpected news! Though I cannot help but be cautiously optimistic.

If you have all the shortcuts on your desktop from the mod, run the repair utility. Then try to re-launch the mod thru the launchers. In the (non quick launch) launcher shortcut there is a force enable option. Select that and if the mod still cannot run, then your files have somehow been corrupted or moved.

Heh was watching some new playthru videos online that have been popping up recently and I have noticed in a couple of these how the Harvester AI does the same stupid stuff just like they do in the original. It was my intent to thoughtfully emulate the original C&C but I never expected the bugs and AI glitches to get replicated as well. lol You can see the harvesters start moving to the NW to harvest Tiberium about 14:00 in. https://youtu.be/o1uQOcqkacc?t=840

This will apply for any remaster or future C&C game but I also wish to add and request no over saturated cartoonish themes and graphics that turns a gritty semi-realistic military strategy game and its units and factions into a bunch of toys or an anime cartoon. (looking at you, RA3 & C&C4) What was appealing to me about C&C1, RA1, and Generals was the aspect of it being realistic gritty warfare with a touch of sci-fi. This is C&C, not Warcraft or Starcraft. I will be fair to say EA did in fact do a decent job keeping that atmosphere with C&C3. Speaking of this topic, here was my guidelines I submitted back when EA announced C&C Generals 2. Heck, how about reviving that game while we are at it?

I just hope they aren't getting jealous of the fan/mod community and pull a CBS and start shutting down fan projects like what was done to the Star Trek community. If anyone hasn't followed that debacle, you should look it up to understand my fears. Projects like Renegade X, & Generals Evolution and even Tiberian Sun Rising are ones that stick out in my mind the most for being at risk. And of course with me being the creator of the Tiberian Dawn Redux mod, it would be fair to assume that it could also be on their radar as well which rightfully gives me cause for concern.

Hey it was recently brought to my attention from someone who recently played the Mod that somehow in the GDI campaign when you play thru it all the way it apparently skips mission 13 (Destroy the Bio Lab) after you Rescue Mobeius and destroy the SAM sites (AKA GDI 12) and takes you to mission 14 where you cut off the fleeing Nod forces. Did anyone else ever experience this? I have never in all my years of modding experience with Generals see a bug like this as it should be impossible in the Generals campaign system due to the way it is coded. I downloaded and checked the code contained in campaign.ini from v1.44 and it seems to check out ok!? I am nearly to the point of calling BS on this unless someone else can come forward and also confirm this from their downloaded version of the mod. I have also been told that people have encountered severe framerate issues (due to the busy AI pathfinding behavior which is a known defect in the generals SAGE engine) in the final GDI campaign missions which I am aware of and will address soon in another patch. I know this was an issue in the final Nod mission which is why the map was greatly modified from the original by adding land bridges and whatnot to the map. If anyone else knows of any mission maps that are particularly bad with the above issue that I missed, please leave a reply with your experiences and input.

IIRC this "General Discussion" section was generated when the forums were migrated from the old CNC Communications Center site forums. The thread categories screenshotted above were the carryover categories that have mostly remained active since the merge as they had most of the original topic discussions that were getting posted in regularly. Granted this section should probably be merged with the general mod discussion threads.

Permissions must be messed up again. You guys cannot see these categories? That would explain a lot of the inactivity as of late.

Sorry haven't been on here in a while. Updates to the Mod has been on a Hiatus since February as real life has been quite turbulent for me lately. I have been made aware that a lot of Mods have been broken due to the Origin updates and also due to some Win10 user control issues. Correct me if I am wrong as I have been out of the loop but the person that was making the special launchers that enabled mods on Origin has stopped developing updates last I checked, no? However, I am uploading an unreleased version of the mod in a raw "open file format" to my Dropbox account due to the lack of updates as it is nowhere near being compiled for an "official" release and I don't want to risk the latest build getting lost like the old v1.4 did back in 2012. I can provide download links to the files on said account as a last resort measure or if you simply want to fiddle around with the latest build. DOING THIS WILL BREAK YOUR ZH INSTALLATION! As this will permanently override the ZH game data files unless you delete the entire game folder and reinstall if you wish to play ZH again. You can see screenshots on ModDB of the latest unreleased build HERE Dropbox Folder for TDR: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x2vly8rj1yx81ep/AAD4FvwJ38lhtTWM5_xHGflHa?dl=0
