FunkyFr3sh

might not be a bad idea to add upnp, thanks i'm using GeoIp lite from http://www.maxmind.com

Later all players will be split into TD and RA channels, but currently there are not a lot players and it would be bad to split em right now

might be that the savegames can only be played in the resolution they were made, i can't remember if that problem was fixe are you sure all Compatibility modes are turned off ? cause those are causing crashes ! yes, it might be the best to do a fresh install

it's already in the to-do-list [*]Automatic port check for peer-to-peer games before the game starts (to avoid non connecting games) it will check the connections between all players directly in the game room (right before the game starts) .. if it fails it will offer to switch to tunnel or kick the one with closed ports (that's the idea)

Yes it's a good idea, i already have a Offfline/lan feature in my todo list. I'm not sure when im going to add this tho Updates of the last days: [*]Its now possible to adjust the amount of chat lines the client can store (Settings/Chat History (max lines)) default is 1000 lines [*]The chat history can now be saved to logfiles on your HDD - (Settings/Save Chat) they are located in your game folder/RA1O-ChatHistory (type /run to get to your game folder) [*]Tab nickname autocomplete has been improved, it goes now thru all names in the channel (type the first letter of a name then hit TAB) [*]The last written lines are now saved, you can scroll thru them using the Up and Down keys on your keyboard [*]A new Paging feature has been added, it allows to send private messages from the chat lobby into running games, just open a private message window (double click on a name) and type something (Settings/Pager) - This feature only works for RA1 players! [*]Dutch translation has been added - thanks to Hotdog!! [*]Spanish translation has been added - thanks to Maty!! [*]An official sound addon has been added, i was creating it with free sounds from soundjay - thanks to soundjay.com !! [*]Added a couple of useful commands: "/run" will open your game folder, you can add a filename behind and it will open the file (in case it was found in your game folder) "/debug" will send all logfiles to me, you can type that after you crashed (make sure i am online before you do that) "/hash" will get the checksum and more information about a file in your game folder, that's useful to make sure everyone got the same files (e.g. /hash ddraw.dll) "/restart" will restart the client to get the latest updates "/reset" will delete all important files and forces to re-download everything (you should not use this command, do it only if i tell you) "/update" same as /reset , but it doesn't delete all files, it tries to overwrite them (you should not use this command, do it only if i tell you) - I changed a couple of other things too.. but i never write all changes down. So, go ahead and find them yourself! Oh btw, check the picture below .. there is another new feature i added, maybe you will notice it ! - To-Do-List: [*] Create a private lobby for the advanced players (so called "pros") [*] Automatic port check for peer-to-peer games before the game starts (to avoid non connecting games) [*] Friendlist [*] Offline/Lan games [*] Creating a system to send maps (online storage?) [*] Support for password protected tunnel servers [*] Custom game room names (e.g. "A path beyond" instead of "FunkyFr3sh's game" [*] Allow to see the name of the chosen map from outside of the game [*] Buttons to revert the "ready" status and reopen the game [*] Automatic ladder (through playcnc) [*] Add support for translations of the newly added strings [*] Parse the map files and show information about them (starting locations/mods/etc...) [*] And a few other random things ..

Red Alert got limits (they are working), i doubled all of them in the new lobby

ready to travel back in time ? http://web.archive.org/web/20080509184834/http://www.cnc-comm.com/

only nyerguds can do it, so please keep annoying him and leave me alone

nope, it's an arda mod. You can probably play it without arda (would have less features), copy mod files into game folder and rename the mod rules.ini to spawn.xdp

You can patch your ultimate collection using this: http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/ The game should run pretty stable afterwards and the color isssue is gone too

attached em (those are upscaled 2x) dos-icons.zip

do you try to install it with the iso files ? You have to mount them to any location you like, then select it Or about which file are you talking (please tell the name, just to be sure)? You can also do a web-install, which will do everything automatically

added support for string tables with cnc95, forgot to load them at the start so it did default to the ra ones

hi, i was recently updating RA1installer (a tool to install red alert) for mac/linux .. It does configure your ddraw/wine settings automatically, you can get it here: http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org check out the new tutorial here: http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/playonmac_playonlinux/

yay! no i can't, too many people couldn't connect to cncnet4 cause they didn't run it as admin, so i don't wanna run into the same problems with the new lobby! starting via -123 works, but you wont get automatic updates then .. which means when there is an update you wont be able to join games anymore use this here at your own risk (might fail and end up with permission errors etc etc) RedAlert1_Online.exe (no admin rights required) replace the one in your folder with this one (you might need to copy it inside your folder once again after the first start since it updates itself sometimes)

Didnt really update much lately.. anyhow, added something new yesterday picture > words http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2242.0;attach=2683;image

cool

nope currently not

-LAN -SKIRMISH -ANTMISSIONS heres the code of the launchers incase you wanna check em out http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/src/RedAlertLauncher.7z http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/src/RedAlert1Launcher_pascal.7z

might be that white was still using the blank files i gave him, those were empty and didn't work properly with arda afaik btw, white is using my old ra build for his mod .. give it a try http://www.mediafire.com/download/0dpc41c6lzq7hqo/redalert-am-cs.zip

uninstall win7 and install winXP

arda doesnt work without music, you got to create some blank music files and replace the big ones i'm pretty sure they need to be a few seconds long to fix all the crashes

ah ok well, its sadly not possible to add these black bars since 640x512 is not a valid resolution windowed mode is the only option you got edit: i found out why it copied the title.pcx all the time, it was a bug and happened because you entered 640x400 in custom resolution instead of using the 640x400 checkbox i attached the fixed RedAlertConfig.exe RedAlertConfig.zip

yes, i also wonder why its 640x512 ? click the reset button and start over again added some pictures since i still don't know what exactly you are looking for

currently its not possible to add black bars sadly. It does work with older versions tho, but that would mean you don't have all the new settings from the configuration tool let me know if you really want it badly, i can puzzle something together why don't you want it to create title.pcx ? it does that to make sure your background is always fullscreen, it happens when you click the ok button in the config
