RA1 Allied Campaign Error....

[CAKEorDEATh1986]

Hi guys,

 

Bit of a noob here. I downloaded RA1 - I started the game as the Allies and noticed that someone had actually made their own mission and put it as if it was the game. I have triple checked to make sure I am not choosing the custom or expansion. Basically I have cleared the entire map of any soviet forces, yet it wont just say mission complete. Very annoying!  :ranting:

 

Any help or is this a bug that cant be fixed?

where did you download the game ?

[CAKEorDEATh1986]

I downloaded it from cncnet!

[FunkyFr3sh]

can you provide a link ? cause there are multiple versions

 

are you sure you clicked on "start new game" and not any other button ?

 

you should end up on these missions:

if its first allied missions either you have some external mission installed or you've forgotten to actually put einstein in the helicopter

[CAKEorDEATh1986]

The missions you provided pictures of are what I remember, but this certainly isn't the same.

 

On this one my units are grey, and I have to recover a base - I have attached a screen shot of the mission.

 

I just used the link off this website.

[CAKEorDEATh1986]

I am 100% pressing start new game too. Very Confusing.

[FunkyFr3sh]

strange, i dont know all the missions so i cannot tell which one that is

 

can you provide a link ? redalert1.com ? cncnet.org ? iran.cnc-comm.com ? funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org ?

name of the file ?

[CAKEorDEATh1986]

funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org and the file just appears as RA1installer.

 

Ill try re installing see what happens.

[FunkyFr3sh]

alright, do you know what kind of installation you did ? mini web install ? full web install ? mini cd install ? full cd install ? patch existing install ?

 

i just tested it using full web install, i could not reproduce it

[CAKEorDEATh1986]

I am currently installing full web install again from a mirror in France......hope this works. Thanks for helping by the way, I feel like I am making up problems ha

[FunkyFr3sh]

np, just keep posting here until you got it working

Do you install any of the game language packs ? maybe something is wrong with that ones

[CAKEorDEATh1986]

Game language packs? Dont even know what they are! But I did the whole install again. The Soviet missions work perfectly fine, but the Allie just has the mission I took a screen shot of that simply wont complete.

 

 

[FunkyFr3sh]

Did you maybe install red alert before (a different version) ? or did you ever download some custom missions and tried them ?

 

make sure you install the game to a clean folder, if there is a loose mission file in the game folder then it will override the original missions

[Nyerguds]

That briefing contains a misspelling of the word "soviet". I'm 100% sure that won't be official.

 

check your game folder for loose .ini files starting with "SC".

Thank you guys! It was the mission folder (SC) - there were two files that looked out of place.

 

I gathered it was an edit with the miss spelling, thats when it dawned on me.

 

Appreciate the helps guys, now to complete the game!

 

Cheers.
