Looking for every map/mission ever made for RA1

I'd like to release a compilation. I'm also adding a custom mission list display/loading system to my own patch, part of it will be loading a map specific tutorial.ini file, this is useful for custom missions, but it'll mean I need to clean them up too.

A good place would be this: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=5 and http://ra.afraid.org/.

Sorry for the noob question but what tool can I use to make a map overview pic? I mean one of those large ones that show the whole map, not a small thumbnail.

C&C RAED or Red Alert Terrain Editor. But if you want units included then RAED is perfect.

i dont think there is any tool that could do it, but u can start a VM and set the resolution very high and take a full shot with raed

 

[Iran]

Cool. What VM are you using?

[FunkyFr3sh]

win xp sp3 on virtualbox

 

u will need to install the Guest Additions and use 64mb+ gfx ram in the vm settings for 3600x3600

Thanks! I'm thinking about having two seperate github repos for missions and maps, then categorizing every map in its own folder with the map file, a description (including whether the map has modded settings), original author comments if any and a map preview.

 

Once I'm done with my custom RA build, the improvements to hifi's patch and the config tool, that is.

[FunkyFr3sh]

that would be cool, specially for single player maps

[Iran]

nvm

There's a bug in VirtualBox that causes the size to be limited vertically to 1200 pixels, I can choose resolutions like 64000x1200 etc but it won't ever go higher than 1200. :/

 

How did you fix this?

[FunkyFr3sh]

yea, u need to set it from outside

 

C:\Programme\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage controlvm "Win XP" setvideomodehint 3600 3600 32

 

there was another command too, not sure if it was needed for this :/ didnt save it

[Iran]

Nope, doesn't work. What version of VirtualBox are you using? :/

 

edit: Okay got it working but it acts kinda weird, I can't get higher than 3200x3200x32 with 128 MB of video memory.

edit2: Working quite nicely now, thanks!
