Quick Graphical Patches

[AchromicWhite]

2 Things:

 

1. I'm looking at this nice little "small infantry patch" 'hires1.mix', made by Nyer, if I'm not mistaken. It mostly works, but even though the mechanic and shok troop are in the file, the game does NOT replace the graphics. Obviously these are the 2 from Aftermath, something about where the game chooses to gather the graphics from...

 

2. If I add more units to this file, will the game just override those shp files also? Like, if I make a replacement medium tank (2tnk), and just add it to this file (hires1.shp), will the game just read the new file instead of the regular 2tnk.shp?

I think that stuff in there working or not working is more related to what they changed in the mix reading in the exe, tbh...

[AchromicWhite]

OK, well to answer my own question, yes more stuff added seems to replace anything in the main.mix -> conquer.mix

But I assume not anything in expand2.mix

[FunkyFr3sh]

i have moved these files to expand10.mix some time ago

[AchromicWhite]

Moved what files? I'm just adding stuff to hires1.mix which is just strait in the directory.

[FunkyFr3sh]

all small infantry files

[AchromicWhite]

They're automatically in the game now? It wasn't sml Inf when I downloaded it... I had to get the patch

  -Liam

[Nyerguds]

I believe they made it a configuration option or something.

[AchromicWhite]

Lol, I love how this information seems to be shared pretty much no where... this is like the time I tried to find the RA music...

In fact, I still haven't found it.

Hey, I made a full readme, a music pack and a custom config tool when I released the C&C95 patch. RA95's maintenance isn't my project -_-

[FunkyFr3sh]

it is included in the RedAlertConfig as resource

 

white is just using old crap (he even uses the 100year old outdated arda)

 

go to www.cncnet.org, download the game and you have it fully working

[AchromicWhite]

Not sure how old the version is I'm using. It's not the same one I use for CR though.

And this is why we love you haha Your documentation in general is amazing. For every question I ask you on here there's 100 you've answered in your docs for me.

[Nyerguds]

And yet, people still fail to RTFM X_x

[AchromicWhite]

Where CAN I get the RA1 music, BTW?

  -Liam

[Kilkakon]

Err the original discs? I suppose there'd be a download somewhere though as it's freeware...

[AchromicWhite]

That sounds really annoying to extract, lol. I'm sure I have full RA1 somewhere, it's just outdated. Do you know where in the files it's kept, what mix?

  -Liam

 

Edit: Found it, got scores.mix, injected it into main.mix

I think this is a bit complex for anyone just wanting to have music while they play RA1 online... you might want to make a patch for that, funky.

[Nyerguds]

My main.mix patch for TFD/TUC includes them... but since it's an actual binary patch based on file differences, you need the TFD/TUC main.mix to actually get them that way

[AchromicWhite]

Yeah, that's right, it's packed away in a larger mix file. But there should definitely still be a download for people who want to play WITH the music. Seems crazy to cut the game down and then not give out replacements for those that want to play with the full game

You can download the music from the CnCNet client click on settings then click on the game settings tab.

 

Or if you want the full game there's always: http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/

[AchromicWhite]

Oh cool, that helps Well, I already edited the music back in hehe, but that's just me. Heck, I have custom graphics also xD
