Disabling ddraw would cause stability issues with newer platforms, would it not?

"Old topic but I hate having inaccurate information in here... anyway, that is not exactly true... it just copies it to whatever spot you have selected in the second file browser." -Nyerguds Thanks for that...Nothing is wring with XCC, just the operator XD

So the cursor disappearing is normal then... guess there are bound to be hiccups. Kinda a buzzkill after an hour skirmish. Possible to fix or something we must deal with?

Just downloaded and installed and it is just not working right. It will not copy anything to PNG or PCX, it comes up with an Error 1 at the bottom. I have been using this program for 10 years and never had this happen. The XCC folder is also write protected, wtf? I tried adding the .DLL's to the XCC dir and I cannot. Can anyone help?

I thought I saw this mentioned some time ago but... Is there any interest in porting some old popular mods to be compatible with 3.03p ? I thought about doing Bad Ra myself, an old classic that has crashed many times in the past. thinking about it, it would be nice to have a mod laIuncher before loading ra95..exe.

It has been a while since I posted here. I have started work again so you can expect a new version soon. Some solo missions will be included in the next release.

I do apologize for that. It was an issue of me downloading tons of shps to one file and loosing track of who made what. My intention was to go back and see where I got what and give proper credit with the next release. I was anxious to get the mod out. Not really a good reason but the reason none the less. I will make sure to handle this better in the future.

I have not ran in to it in that type of scenario. The only thing abnormal in this mission I was just working on, that might have something to do with it, was having the enemy use a reinforcement for an MCV, then use the [base] section and have them construct their entire base. I also tried using autocreate to see if that really does anything. I remember years ago determining for myself that autocreate made no difference. I figured I would try again and had the same result after much experimenting. My thinking is that somehow use of [base] section and autocreate somehow screwed something up in the map. But how or where I have no idea.

Anyone had this issue? I was making a level and triggers were simply not firing correctly. I am very experienced with level making and I am certain nothing was technically wrong. Some triggers were being completely ignored or not doing what they're supposed to. I could not fix it no matter what I changed. I had to.completely delete the triggers and teamtypes and start over.

Heres some screen shots. Maybe not the best ones though. First few are from the 1st level for allies, rest from a Soviet skrimish.

I'll have to take some and get em up. Gimme a day or two.

Solo missions are in work. I have 3 complefe and am working on 2 more. They are paced fastee than ra missions, I'm thinking just 8 for each side. Is anyone interested in testing?

What did u do? Mine does it sometimes. Last night I worked for 20 mins on a mission. Saved it went to copy amd paste but the modified date was still 2 days ago. Wtf is that? I launched raed from mu task bar but why would that matter its only a shortcut.

Havent heard anyone mention globals. Essential in any mission really. If you want attacks to come in timed intervals after a certain event... then make that event a global. Such as when the mcv arrives set global 1. When global 1 is set, use a two event trigger. 1st part is your time interval, say 100. (10 mins) 2nd event is your global being set. If you switch th event order, it wont fire correctly. Also make it a constant trigger for repeating. Don't forget to start production. I never use auocreate. Doesent seem to do anything really for me.

Wow excellent work! Id be interested in your mod if you finish it. I always feel like a kid in a candy store when someone posts bran new shps.

Yeah I figured that out. Only problem is ot does not create a "straight" angle for 255 and 128 facings. It angles it ever so slightly to each side. And the canvas is to small really. 128 and 255 facings get clipped off at the top and botom. But if I angle it just right it fits. Ill have to do some more tinkering but I think ill manage.

Hmm just saw this. Was this ever done? Red dawn over cnc net? That would be fun.

What's up with vxl editor iii. The kirov is bigger than the canvas, I cant even take a screen shot if its not fitting on the canvas. Resizing does not reposition the voxel to the center either.

How to use bawlscola cameo creator? Its essentially a template with copying and pasting. It has a lot of good 64x48 backgroundz. You just have to paste your unit over it, and paste your text which the font is also provided. Over time you memorize the pixel font.

Voxel section editor and making it in to a gif, is that the usual or traditional method? Kinda sounds easier than I thought it would be. Screen shots sounds like way to much work. BTW, could you or someone else possibly upload the Kirov VXL then?

I am woundering if anyone has this or would be able to convert it? I'm pretty behind the times and never learned how to convert voxels. I want to put it in my arda mod. If nothing else, os there a good tutorial for converting vxl to shp?

Wow that's awsome man. Is that a replacement for the ore refinery? How are you replacing ore? Replace the ore mine with your oil derrick and ore woth oil barrels? That would be pretty cool. Looking forward to your mod. I've slowly been working on one myself.

So, has anyone played yet? Opinions? Feedback? I uploaded to CNC NZ too, no responses there. There seems to be a little hype on Blue Hell Productions though. Anyone know another good place I could advertise? I thought MODDB but theres already tons of dead RA mods there.

I got it working. Turns out when I run the game and the screen goes black I have to push escape, then it lets me select regular or firestorm. But the sounds seems to have trouble loading and the movies don't seem to wanna play when I try to do single player, just freezes. And In skirmish I cannot see how many credits I have, looks like some of the top and bottom is chopped off, any suggestions?

Well I tried all that and same result. Installed and ran as admin. !st time I went to play it seemed like the game launched but the picture never came up, just a black screen. I could tab out and see that Sun.exe was running, i just couldent see it. No sound either. Think its affinity CPU? I have a quad core.
