Blade Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I don't see anything here that couldn't be faked using Chronoshift code and some modding, but lets assume you have the genuine article that is a near final beta. What do you want for it? There is going to be very little that the modding community would find useful, so its not that valuable as a resource. As a collectors item? Maybe if its an original disk you might convince someone to pay you something for it if you can prove its genuine but you are barking up the wrong tree here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsons26 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Yea, this looks even more fake, definitely can't say this could be real without seeing the game exe now. That video doesn't show anything that can't be faked. It does show a lot of inconsistencies tho. For it to be a build from when the ClockTranslucentTable(sidebar clock tint, sub cloak color) was blue the radar doesn't match. The radar had a blue outline signifying the bounds of the UI element, i guess for gadget debugging purpose, that code still exists in RA. You can see it here, You can confirm this screenshot is of that era looking at the missiles the subs fire which aren't brown but blue and by examining the last indexes of the palette. Notice also in the screenshot there's no radar art behind the radar, only black, the art didn't exist in these builds. The Help Text(simply(but factually wrongly) put, on cameo tooltips) used to remap to the house, so red for soviets blue for allies, i recently found that code in RA.

Siberian GRemlin Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I think you could contact some former stuff of WS, who worked on C&C: RA, and ask them about this version and how it may leaked from WS.

TaxOwlbear Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 You are the one who wants to sell some modded RA1 files here. If you have evidence that this is genuine, show it. Don't expect someone else to email random former Westwood staff and ask them about leaks. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siberian GRemlin Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hey, look at this! I doctored, fabricated and faked subtitles in intro movie for Soviet campaign. I wonder, how I did it?! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3EJXxrS6s8p6MwU4A-Eq8dF_MiXpsjfA Ok, I tell you my secret: all this is done by my home bear. He's very smart and clever. I should feed him more. Tomorrow he is about to infiltrate Petroglyph to steal something good. Interestingly, what we can fabricate after that...

Plokite_Wolf Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 And supposing you have a legitimate pre-release build of the game, which you apparently don't, what purpose does it have sitting on your hard drive only? If you had nothing to hide, you would've already released it as soon as you got it, because this is how things work with discovered betas - for any game. You asking for money is shady as fuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because nobody has any reason to trust a random person coming in with dubious material and asking money for it. It's a scam attempt. And again, nobody who has beta access to anything wants money for that sort of thing, they just want their findings to be out and about.

After the item is verified and public, the original can only have collector's value and only a handful of people would have it for a sorta-reasonable price. This isn't comparable to eBay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCHyper Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Its getting a bit out of hand here, I asked SG in a private message to show me something that that could not be faked. As far as the binaries/exe's he has, this is a legitimate beta version of Red Alert 1 that SG has. While there is no proof I have seen the files that come with it are authentic, it would be safe to say that after what I asked to see, this actually authentic. So let's for a start stop pressuring SG. Edited October 5, 2019 by CCHyper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 The Soviet mission 1 video also looks real... the "moscow" is not there on the release version, and you can't just edit that kind of thing on moving image material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siberian GRemlin Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Another one of my fabrications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Yeah, I am no longer doubting this. We have a render of the shipyard scene, and that specific cutscene, SHIPYARD.VQA, is missing from the final game, but referenced in the videos list. I used that entry in the little addon I made to add the Playstation ants briefing with General Carville into the game, by renaming the video file to SHIPYARD.VQA so the game would accept it. I always wondered what the full video would look like. This is an amazing find, just for those media alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyerguds Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Neat stuff... though these pictures are all oddly dark, and terribly dithered ? [edit] Ah, they all have an obvious identical gap in their palette... I guess that's for game credits. Explains why they would be darkened, too.

X3M Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Recognising that V2-launcher Can you show the names of the list of maps that are included with your version? Those used for the skirmish. Or is it only the single player game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Transport seems to come up to the shore tiles? Might be just the larger sprite. Does this version have the option to place multiple unit at once into a transport? cargo truck doesn't have a shadow. Just like how the nuke truck doesnt have one in Aftermath. *Demo truck in aftermath There's also visual glitching with explosions on the ConYard. Soviet units say "it is done" as acknowledgemen reply. There are different voices saying this reply. The team unit text might be rendering on different parts of units? Mission 6 is different and has a different map. You need to rescue the MCV instead of getting it at the start. In the final game the map has garbage outside of the visual area, might be leftovers from this version? U2 plane might be slower? On mission 7 the brown grey enemy buys thieves and doesn't seem to have flamethrowers? Rocket soldier seems to be using his 'firing air units' sprite while shooting upwards to ground units? V2 rocket when launched seems smaller than in final? Or is that just me? The advanced power plant seems slightly off too? The mammoth tank firing animation is bugged too Tanya has different pistol sounds. The AA guns in this version have Tanya's pistol sound from the final version? Tesla zap weapons dont seem to make the game sleep for 1 second in this version of the game Ore grows on shore tiles Ore grows Destroyer rocket seems different too? This looks very legit. Also asking money for releasing beta stuff isn't that odd..inthe prototype ROMs community it's standard. How much money do you want Siberian_GRemlin? Thank you for showing these videos and screenshots, made my day Mission 3 is bugged in this version. Plus the movie for mission 3 shows 2 mission selection options on the map in the background of the video. The spy also doesnt properly enter the transport AA Gun has different sounf Naval transports look bigger too Gunboat sprite is based off C&C1 render On mission 5 there is a different shore tile at the left upper part of the middle island Prices are different too Note to Iran, please don't make a gazillion posts, Toms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In beta no ore mines. 7 hours ago, Iran said: Does this version have the option to place multiple unit at once into a transport? Yes, but it's hard to do, because units may just stop whenever they want. Edited October 8, 2019 by Siberian GRemlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
