Adding music to Red Alert 1?

[coldroll]

Hello I'm new here and I'm wondering how to add more music from the other games to Command and Conquer Red Alert 1? Also does this game have wav. support or is it all aud files?

[FunkyFr3sh]

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

[coldroll]

Is there an exact tutorial on how to does this with xcc mixer?

[DarkVen9109]

Right click>Copy as .AUD. Make sure your .wav is NOT IMA ADPCM it should be PCM only.

What do I do in Xcc utlites what program do I use what options do I do?

[DarkVen9109]

Use your XCC Mixer

[coldroll]

It's not working, also were do I go in xcc mixer and where do you convert stuff?

[Nyerguds]

coldroll: this shows the basic method for all conversions in XCC:

(for conversion from SHP, you normally first need to press ctrl+p and select the right palette, since SHP files don't contain colours themselves, and purely use the colours given to them)

But how do I add music from the other mix file into the old one?

[Nyerguds]

For music, you can just add .aud files in the game folder... no need to put them in mix files.

Thanks for your help but I figured out how to add music to other mix files myself even though you don't have to.

how i add music to red alert from retalation and tiberian dawn ?

 

[Nyerguds]

Um. What format do you have the music in? The basic method is to convert it to 22050 Hz 16-bit mono-channel WAV, and then do the Copy As AUD described above. A good tool for converting the audio to the desired format is RAD Video Tools.

Tiberian Dawn, with my 1.06c patch, has a "themes.ini" inside updatec.mix. Extract that, put it in the game folder, and you can add any new music you want to it. The format is explained in the ini file. Note that you have to manually set the length to appear in the game's playlist into the ini file (in seconds); the game can't automatically get that from the AUD file.

the game is command conquer red alert aftermath how i can add sountracks to aftermath?

[Jacko]

Easy

You can find most of the retaliation tracks online and the mp3 files can be copied from YouTube.

Then you convert them to .wav and then use xcc mixer to convert them to .aud

 

Using xcc mixer the cnc TD tracks already in .aud form can be extracted from scores.mix.

Then paste them into your RA directory

Then use music.ini to add them to the game

[Nyerguds]

Oh, I thought he said "in tiberian dawn" 

[Jacko]

Its also worth noting that most retaliation tracks are just remixes of RA1 tracks

[Nyerguds]

Yup. I got all the special Retaliation tracks in CD audio format, from my Sole Survivor disk
