capsulej Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I love this installer but what is with the music? It plays the first ~5-10 tracks just fine but after that the other ones just loop back to bigfoot(the first track). Is there anyway to fix it?

capsulej Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Not sure how i can show you it but heres how it works: i can manually play any track up until track 20, selecting any track after that just plays bigfoot(the first track). So that means track 20-34 don't work when selected manually. Track 1 - 20 are fine and play what they are supposed to when selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you install the soundtracks from the expansion cd's btw? Those are not included by default, but might be listed anyways. Download link is in the first post or take it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1sb1eohtm2ov0qv/reta-exp-music.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metaridley Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 hello guys, i have a question, it is normal that the mission descriptions from the addons are in english after patching the game in german/uncut? (i have the german TFD version) and is it maybe possible to add the red alert retaliation ps1 video pack with german audio? that would be nice :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does only happen for the expansion missions? The standard campaign works? I don't think anyone has the reta vids available in german, but maybe nyerguds knows more about it, will ask him Edit: I just tested it, everything is german for me! Except the few fan made bonus missions we included (Flame dancers / Deadly War) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyFr3sh Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 The config program is fan made, it doesn't support translations. The mission names have no translation support right now, so all of them will show up in english. The mission briefing should be german, not sure why it shows up in english for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 I just installed the game, tried the patch function too but I cannot reproduce it at all. The only 2 files that contain the english versions of the briefing are aftermath.mix and counterstrike.mix, can you try to delete them? No worries, you don't need them on TFD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaridley Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I cutted that out from the directory, but doesn't change. My new try is to install a fresh version of TFD on my laptop, patch it with TFD 1.1 & 1.2 - these restore the functionallity of the missions in the tfd version. After that i copy the both mix files to my pc I will look into the mix files and check the mission descriptions if there german. maybe i can put the ini files into the directory for working. I tell it later here if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaridley Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 okay i see it now, the tfd version is the problem, they have already english mission briefings for the expansion levels. I dont know if these Missions translated in older german releases but german tfd version has defenitly english mission text. For test i load your RA Version in german, also english mission briefings. another story, i found the retalitaion videos in german on my hard drive and i've get these from nyerguds as mp4 files years ago. i don't know it nyerguds still has the videos, if not i can give you the files for a german vqa pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Even if the briefings are english in TFD, my patch should override it and make them show up in german. Do you maybe have a file named mission.ini inside of your game folder? Make sure you delete it, only loose files in the folder can override the german version inside of the language pack mix. Maybe he still has them ready to use, if not then it would be nice to have for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaridley Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 AH! The Missions.ini from the TFD version is incomplete. That not contain the descriptions from the Expansion Packs. i kill it and it works, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I reconverted all of the Retaliation videos to VQA, this time without dithering. I downloaded Funky's pack for it, edited in the modified files, and created a version for each language out of it. -The Lost Files v3 - English -The Lost Files v3 - German -The Lost Files v3 - French I edited the links into the first post Honestly not sure how well the exe would work on non-English versions though. I didn't look at the changes or replace it with the French/German v3.03; I just plain copied it. But you shouldn't need it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Is there a RPM package install? Im relatively new to Linux and it seems like Fedora does not handle .deb packages without some extra work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im relatively new to Linux and it seems like Fedora does not handle .deb packages without some extra work. Never heard about RPM packages Will have a look at it for sure, maybe I can put something together You can try out PlayOnLinux meanwhile, here is a video I made recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8GqFWrzlcY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'll have to look into that later. Never heard of PlayOnLinux but it looks like it fixes the NetFramework/RA problem on Linux. I already have wine Installed so my process might be slightly different than the video. That would be amazing if it was easy to add to a RPM package to a repository. (If that's the right thing to say, still transitioning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROB Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I tried RA1installer.exe through wine and chose full web install CD01 and CD02. It downloads and extracts the allied disc but fails extracting the soviet disc and gives this message: "7z.exe/7zip: Failed to extract the game files! Please check your permissions and make sure your anti-virus program does not block RA1installer/7zip (turn it off temporarily if you do not know how to configure it)...Would you like to retry the extraction process?" There is no anti-virus program installed. Any Ideas whats wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROB Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Turned off VPN and tried different mirror, Installed through wine and now it works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 okay, so..Ra95.exe works fine. But the CNCnet does not function through wine on Linux apparently, nor does the mod launcher, what ever that does. And needless to say the Mix files wont update with the new terrain files and w/e else there is. I think I have narrowed it down to needing a 32 bit wine installed which is not a straight forward process (surprise...) but im not entirely sure. I thought I had a specific Linux/RA topic but I cant find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 You need a 32bit wine prefix, could be that you have everything needed to create such a prefix. At least in ubuntu you can create a 32bit prefix with the 64bit wine out of the box I guess you'll have to google how to do that on fedora (Or just get Ubuntu, it's pretty cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll figure it out eventually. Either that or I can try converting the .deb package to a rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
