I put a How to in Red Dawn's How To Folder. From Red Dawn's How To Folder Making Desert and Winter Maps.txt For the most part making Desert and Winter Maps are easy. Build the map as normal using Temperate (grass) and save. Now exit the map editor and find the map in the RedDawn 2013 folder. You will need to open the map in any text editor like notepad or wordpad. If you never opened a .mrp file on Windows you will get an option. Click on the Select the program for a list and than OK. Now a new window will pop up. Go down the list do notepad or wordpad. NOTE: The Always use the selceted program to open this kind of file can be left check marked. If you leave it check marked you won't have to go back and do all of this again. The next time you double click on a .mrp file it will open with the program you selcted from the list. You can uncheck and continue as well but you will have to repeat this evey time to open a .mrp file. Once you have found notepad or wordpad click OK. Now the map will open in notepad/wordpad. You want to find the [Map] part of the file, specifically Theater=TEMPERATE and change the Theater=TEMPERATE to Theater=WINTER for a Winter map or Theater=DESERT for a Desert map. Now look for the [Digest] part of the map. It is found at the end of the map if you made the map in EdWin. If the map was made in RAED no [Digest] should be found but look to be sure. The [Digest] looks like this. [Digest] 1=6lKHdL96/67yA4mzSb8UPKL5KH4= Delete the [Digest] and line below it. Save the map by going to File than Save. Once saved close and try the map out in game. If you need to edit the map. For you to edit the map with EdWin you need to change the Theater= back to Theater=TEMPERATE or Theater=SNOW. RAED will change the Theater= back to Theater=TEMPERATE by it self and you will have to change it to back WINTER or DESERT your self. RAED and Desert Buildings. You can add Desert Buildings to Desert maps with RAED. Make sure the map is not a Snow or Interior. (Again RAED will change Winter and Desert back to Temperate by it self) In the Structures part of RAED pass to Oil Pump will be the Desert Buildings. You can place the as normal and once done save. Open the map with notepad/wordpad and change the Theater= back to Theater=DESERT and check for a [Digest] than save. Also some place Iran has made a version or RAED that will let you make Desert and Winter maps. http://forums.cncnz.com/topic/17389-raed-standalone/ the github.com link looks like the only one that still works.

I know. You can use EDWIN and lay out all of the tiles and click on the passable tab that will show what can be walked on. I'm going to rework your shores and rivers to fit Vesa Piittinen desert (the color is off slightly) I'll see if I can find a way to fix sh38 as it is the one the the Rifle Inf/ Mini Gun is standing on in the screen shot.

Can't do that. Transports need to load/unload units from them. Some of the tiles will have to be redone. Below is screen cap from EDWIN with snow beaches. The Desert shores that have land on the left and water on the right need to be moved right about 6 to 8 pixals.

The Redness is in the shadows cast by the cliffts. Did you make all of the tiles by your self of use some one elses?

Both CS and AM had some videos from the standard campaign. The only 2 new where the 2 for the ant missions.

@Tschokky The fords look fine now.

Looks good over all. FORD1 and FORD2 do not work. RV02 and RV09 have some bad cut off. And eveything is well RED...

The damaged and destryed briges look kind of cartoon-ish with all of the cracks.

XCC AV Player will let you play the movies with sound just fine.

Tschokky Iran's RA1 dose support Destert and Winter. Red Dawn used both before CnC Net 5 done. Red Dawn 2013 used desert for the Nod missions. GDI 9 is the only winter mission but loads of the skrimish maps used both as well. You best update to your RA1 with the Iran ra95.exe and related things. FunkyFr3sh setup will patch your current install. http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/ Before you do the patching back up any modded thing just to be safe. Desert tiles use the same name as temperate and snow but the file extension for desert is .des. Jacko I converted the C&C95 winter to RA1 for Iran as well. FunkyFr3sh Because it is the best thread? :-)

It dosen't have a virus. Some antivirus software think the ra95.exe is a virus. I know Kaspersky use to but I emailed them about it and it was cleared up quite awhile ago. I also belive Norton was doing the same but it was fixed before I delt with Kaspersky. All of the community builds of RA1 are know do this because of updates to the ra95.exe to fix bug and add new things. The community builds are based on PortableRA and specifically the ra95.exe AKA the Iran patched exe file. PortableRA http://iran.cnc-comm.com/ra/ has a warning about antivirus false positives at the bottom of the page.

I don't know if the SC logic was full fixed. I know in stock RA1 as SC can't be used for icons.

Yes expand##.mix should work fine.

Thanks! For an online build you have to be very carefull not to delete any keys from units, building weapions or warheads from the rules.ini or online games will OOS...

There is a Red Dawn internet gameplay compatible. http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=2618.0 Isn't the mouse in a dune .shp format? If you want to have a try at desert rivers and shore tiles more power to you. I'm done with tiles....

The shp has to be in a mix file and use of Image=*SHPNAME* key.

Yes I changed the remap colour from gold to blue. This also changes the Allied blue to GDI gold. It was much less work than re-doing and testing every mission just to change the colors of the Allies to GDI. I also cut the Adv Guard Tower to a 1x1 by cutting the top off. I didn't want to lose the Gap Gen and the player can't manually target AA Gun to fire at any thing.

A link to the place you got it would be best but I have feeling that it is the old Full RA that has color setting all wrong and has massive scroll lag on Win 7.

2010 patch? Some more detail please. Engineers will not capture a building tell it is damaged to the point that it is in the red. If you send a Engineer into a building that is in yellow or green the Engineer will damage the building.

You will need to use the Red Dawn 2012 as the new 2013 won't work with stock RA1 with out a pallet conversion.

I still have my version that plays much like a faster Red Alert but the Soviet AI won't build Gun Turrets and will spam it base with Guard Towers tell it block its self in..... The only what it can be fixed is by leting the AI build Tesla Coils or if Iran can program the Soviet AI to build Gun Turrets.

I think the Phase Trans may have been a planed to combat the Chorno Tank.

I like....

The Ignoring unknown are new key added by Iran to the game.

No each unit has a set number of frames hardcoded in the game. Einsteins can't have shoot or crawling frames. If you add them it will mess up the death frames.
