it's much better, you just gotta get used to it. its also possible to drag and fill bigger fields with overlay, check out the readme (it's somewhere in the menus)

i made a tool that allows you to create such map mods, check it out: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=2227.0 edwin is not good for such kind of maps, cause it deletes all kinds of mods :beer:

for singleplayer you should not use multi1-multi6, that's only for multiplayer in ra the lowest color is multi1 (yellow), not sure if cnc95 works the same way, you gotta test it

it already works with more than 2 players, but everyone needs to have their port open, we already played bigger games with more than 2 people there later when the tunnel is done it will also be possible to play with more then 2 people without the need to open ports, games will then be split into fast connection(port open) and slow connection (port closed) .. which means people with slow connection can't join the fast games anymore and the games will connect properly all the time. the old cncnet already got a slow connection option, but that also means games might run slow and laggy, so it's always recommended to open port 8054 UDP and use the fast connection When the ladder system is done it should be possible to get info about the players red alert has been patched already, the messages in game show much longer now .. i'm not sure if that will happen with cnc95 too

ah okay, i updated the file!

fraps also slowed me down, its like the worst of all.. i tried many programs and Growlers Guncam is the only one that didn't slow my game down at all I use GDI renderer in ddraw.ini, make sure you adjust your guncam settings, cause default settings are super low res like 320x240 .. there is also a color problem with the fast compression 2, use fast compression 1 .. and check through all settings!

do you have kaspersky or any other bad anti virus ? seems like your ra95.exe is gone use that tool to repair your installation: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=1918.0 select your red alert folder and choose "patch existing installation"

nice ! i just noticed that mattattack already made a perfect map list in the format i needed http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=2081.0 All the maps from his pack are now included YAY

thanks, good job ! I just included it

Thread has been moved, please click here to get to the new thread

yay! Russian language is now available too, thanks to 85! it's now possible to place any new language files into the "RA1O-Strings" folder, the client will automatically find and list them in the settings dialog

Ok, i just added support for custom languages. It will now read all strings from external files.. if someone likes to translate the client please download the attached files English and German are already complete! ra1client-strings.zip

it now also supports custom rules.ini/mods, use your modded rules.ini and rename it to spawn.xdp or just modifiy spawn.xdp Make sure everyone got the same rules.ini file, else you can't play in the same game!

nope i dont think thats possible anymore

That wouldn't work sadly, cause the game settings are sent via the server and the in game lobby has been removed completely. But the games are currently all peer-to-peer (there is no tunnel server yet) and you are already able to host password protected games, that allows you to have private games/chat

download this from irans site, it comes with the music.ini and you can use it as example Extra music files (17 MB, music from the PS1 only Retaliation expansion game and unreleased songs) http://iran.cnc-comm.com/ra/

oh noes! Why don't you play Red Dawn did you modify the ra95.exe too ? if not, then just go ahead and use the 3.03 ra95.exe (.dat) you can find a patch for it here (ra303_fix_cursor_bug_v2.exe) http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc/ra/patches/

nope, open the config tool aka RedAlertConfig.exe and go to video options, uncheck CnC-DDraw What kind of red alert are you using ? In case you don't have the config tool, here's an patch to update your installation: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=1918.0 that might also solve the cursor problem since a patch regarding this problem has been added in there too

did you also enable the maps in the multiplayer section of the config tool ?

Not sure if its a ddraw error, it happens without ddraw too... might be that the chances are higher when u use ddraw go to the config and disable CnC-DDraw

Update: It now also supports sounds, create a folder named "RA1O-Sounds" and place any of the following files inside of it: Login.wav - Plays when the login button was clicked Typing.wav - Plays when typing Join.wav - Plays when someone joins the game lobby Enter.wav - Plays when Enter key is pressed and the message has been send Game.wav - Plays when someone forms a new game Chat.wav - Plays on incoming chat messages Part.wav - Plays when someone leaves the room Kick.wav - Plays when someone got kicked Button.wav - Plays when a button has been clicked Disconnected.wav - Plays when the connection has been lost Connected.wav - Plays when the connection is up Error.wav - Plays when an error occurred - Full addons: Tunngle sounds -> http://www.speedyshare.com/pZEwX/RA1O-Sounds-tunngle.zip Red Alert 1 sounds (made by Echo) -> http://www.speedyshare.com/Nksdr/RA1O-Sounds.zip

you can add more music, check irans site for an example: http://iran.cnc-comm.com/ra/ Extra music files (17 MB, music from the PS1 only Retaliation expansion game and unreleased songs): add the music to the mix file (using xcc-mixer), then edit the ini file to add the names etc format must be .aud ! you can convert wav files to the aud format using xcc-mixer too

yes you can't play online without internet connection

Error 246: Solution not found

hi ! the executable must be the game executable, for redalert it is ra95.exe or ra95.dat.if you choose cncnet.exe then it will always try to launch itself instead of the game
