Zjorz Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is there a way to change the red alert terrain editor resolution? I prefer to use it over raed since it allows more fluid terrain placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pichorra Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Tore, you tested it under Windows 95 to affirmate it? CnCNet won't work under Windows 98 unless you recompile it using MinGW for Windows, and I have no clue about win95 CnC-DDraw won't work under it, so get rid of it .

r34ch Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Can I just say from myself and all my friends, Iran, THANKYOU. We have been waiting YEARS for a hassle free, all-in-one installer and launcher for modern x64 systems. And finally it is here. Your exe now rests next to nyerguds awesome all-in-one. <3 <3 <3 All I hope now is that someone can fix the skirmish AI to build more high tech stuff and helis. The only redeeming feature of Retaliation on PSX was that the AI was marginally more intelligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The AI already builds helis, Tech Center and Mammoth Tanks and such. You need to build a Helipad or they won't build a Radar Dome and hence not tech up. I added a RULES.INI keyword to patch out this check for their being a Helipad on the map. I did some quick testing and the AI can be made to build Sub pen or Naval yard and it has code to build naval units, for some reason the code tries to have the AI build Missile Subs and Helicarriers (the hidden Aftermath unit). Haven't figured out how to fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tore Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 If it had viruses my PC would have been toast right now. And I don't promote anything I think is potentially unsafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 You might get false-positives because tools like https://github.com/iran/syringe are commonly used by malware to hide in other apps to avoid getting blocked by desktop firewalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Report the false-positive to your anti-virus company. It likey they have a page or email for reporting false-positives. I did so for the 0.6g RA1.

gerwin Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Last weekend I was trying out the different versions of RA1 which are currently available. My self modded hi-res (hifi) version of RA1 had some mouse cursor drawing problems on the new PC System. -OpenRA 2013-05 - plays nicely for what it is, but too far from the original for me. -OpenRA Classic RA - locks up sometimes, as already warned for. Still too far from the original anyways. -Hifi DDraw.dll - Fixed my mouse cursor problem, that's nice, and runs fast enough on my new system. -Arda project - Nice, but I had a little difficulty integrating it with my own adjustments. -(Irans) Portable RA - This is excellent!, Love the new build bar +aspect ratio correction+ small soldier option: I'll definitely stick with this.

Matt Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 At least the fixes for the visual glitches are mostly shared between OpenRA and PortableRA. For the best legacy experience definitely go for the patched original distributed by iran and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 plus the patched original is the one played on cncnet isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yeah, but high res and small soldiers are both pure UI changes, so on their own they don't actually cause incompatibility online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 hires is amazing. It also causes a few smaller maps (particularly on TD) to glitch as the resolution is too large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Meh. Nothing more than minor refresh glitches. None of them really cause any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdude Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is it possible to fix this bug that me and my friends come across often? Something like this: First, RA crashes. It shows a popup window that says something like "Instruction at <memory address> tried to access address 0x00000000. Press 'OK' to terminate the application." It usually happens when we play a large 4 way or 3 way LAN game. We build up massive tank armies and when it is about to crash, it does weird stuff like you can plant other people's buildings, etc. FWI- my dad looks like this when this happens: :ranting: Does anyone know the reason for this? and if so, how to fix it?
