Can someone give me a description of the range of the most common units, when shooting south, west, north and east. I need this info for a south advantage fix. I don't know what the normal ranges are in each direction but they seem odd. When the Turret defense structure has it's turret pointing in the same direction as your attack cursor it gets one cell more range..

Hi ROB, I didn't see that one. I just checked it and it's the Radar Dome crash. I added a test fix for it (which I'm not sure about whether it fixes the crash or not) but Allen262 seems to be using an older EXE.

Which options would you use? It isn't hard for me to add but it takes quite some time..

LOL that's hilarious. Great Westwood coding..

It's easy to change the facings to 32 though, it's a one byte change per vehicle unit.. I could add it as rules.ini options, like Arda has.

But ANT1 to ANT3 only use 8 facings, not 32. The other vehicles are set up to use 32 facings. There should be options for vehicles which have their turret on the back of the vehicle (instead of center), an option to enable/disable turret and one for bigger selection bracket. Does any of those interest you?

I know now how to enable/disable shroud generator logic on every vehicle unit in the game. Sorry I kinda forgot about this topic since I replied almost a month ago.

...wow. They recycled that for the reveal trigger just because it's also a radius around a point? That is so fricking dumb. That setting is also used by other code, stuff that requires a decent radius mostly.

If ANT1 to ANT3 were able to use more than 8 facings would that allow you to make Red Dawn any better? I also found out how to enable/disable shroud generator and radar jamming abilities on vehicle units, next to figuring out how to enable/disable crushing.

The Jeep/Ranger and Mine Layer crush logics are hard-coded, the game setups every unit type with a function that takes tons of arguments, one of them is a 'can crush' flag. In the last 30 minutes I made the Ranger/Jeep be able to crush infantry and prevented the Nod Buggy from Red Dawn from doing this (by modifying the minelayer settings). This instruction is reponsible: AUTO:0056DD85 050 push 1 ; can crush, push 1 = true You need to change it to 'push 0'. Note that the 0x0056DD85 address is the in memory address of the instruction, not the address inside the executable. If you're interested in hex editing the EXE to apply this change please tell me so I'll figure out what address in the EXE needs to be changed. If you do that you need to modify every EXE I give you to add this change, so you should find some kind of program which can patch the EXE with this change (and any future ones) automatically.

Get CCHyper to re-enable alliances with AI instead.

Are you sure the Mine Layer doesn't still crush infantry because it is hard-coded like that? What makes the Jeep/Ranger be able to crush?

Are you sure the Tracking= key is related to being able to crush infantry?

There's a map called 'The Hills Have Eyes' included with the Aftermath expansion which sounds similar to what you're talking about. On this map there's a civilian town in the middle with civilians with crazy and overpowered weapons, they're scripted to attack players.

Sadly this isn't the case in Red Alert 1 and I've been meaning to patch the game to add this logic, because in skirmish the AI runs out of money really quickly. To be fair everyone does..

Make me a test mission where the enemy player has MGG and where I can easily check if MGG's are reshrouding stuff or not.

You're amazing Funky!

Yes by adding [Aftermath]NewUnitsEnabled=1 to the mission file. The next release of my patch will have an option which enables Aftermath units too in single player missions.

I was talking about patching ra95 so after capturing an enemy CY you get all the tech from an enemy side, even after losing that CY. It's possible for me to add that now but it's a bit tedious, basically need to find a way to check if you captured an enemy team's CY then set your country flag to a new one that's actually invalid (like 0x20) then patch the code that checks your country/side when checking for stuff you can build so it works with value 0x20. The figuring out if you captured an enemy CY is the only hard part though, unless the "current country" flag is used in more places and setting it to 0x20 crashes stuff.

In RA1 a bit flag is used to check if you can build a 'buildable', it checks a side bitflag set on the data for every player. I think C&C95 changes that bitflag after you capture an enemy CY. Does C&C1 DOS have the same behavior? EDIT: I figured out how to make both sides' stuff buildable with some memory patching. I need to be able to check if an enemy CY has been captured for it to be useful though.

Should probably ask around in the CnCNet v4 lobby for players.

The game crashed while calling a C standard library function called 'time()', probably with the argument 1. That's all I see. Call stack is missing. When did the game crash? This function is only called in a few spots.
