Commander Flores Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I hope im posting this in the right place but I just wanted to start this topic just to say THANK YOU!! cncnet and everyone for bringing back so much memories! My gosh I feel like only yesterday I was 5 years old playing Command & Conquer Red Alert and Retaliation on my Playstation One. Now I'm 17 and a senior in high school and it is just so awesome that I can now play the game again. Little difficult for me to play on pc I have to admit since im still use to the console controls but im managing. I never got passed mission 5 on both soviet and allied of the campaign. It was just so hard and I always played skirmish. Im gonna give it another go some time tho. Watch out Soviet Union! Because Commander Flores is back! And counterstrike and aftermath expansions as well? Aw shiz! its like Retaliation all over again! Again thank you for bringing this game back to life. I think im gonna cry! *Sniff Sniff*
Allen508 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 The first time I played RA1 it was the PS1 Allied Retaliation disk. It dose take some geting use to to on PC but PC is the better version. If your using PortableRA you should be able to change to DOS/PS1 icons. Counterstrike and Aftermath expansions where combinded for the PS1 Retaliation. The only upside to PS1 Retaliation disk (out side of the cheat codes) was the brefing videos that were done for them but they have been converted to PC too.
Commander Flores Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah, I'm starting to see that the pc is so much better because of the online and modding and what not. I can't seem to get the soviet vids on campaign tho. I only see the intro soviet video and all the allied videos work just fine. But whatever, Thats what youtube is for. Anyway I'm trying to do the retaliation missions and one of them that haunted me for a very long time... Evacuation! I failed 3 times already but im gonna get passed it one of these days! lol
Commander Flores Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Downloaded the game from here - http://redalert1.com/ Anyway passed Evacuation yesterday! Whoohoo! This game is too much fun! XD
Allen508 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Wow that version is out of date. You should grab. http://iran.cnc-comm.com/ra/ At min you can get the download Videos Installer from CnC-Comm (580 MB, includes The Lost Files videos). This shoud fix your missing videos.
FunkyFr3sh Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 You probably forgot to check the "Install CD2" box during the installation, CD2 contains the videos
Commander Flores Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah I probably did forget to install cd2 I feel so stupid! XD Anyways I'll download all that this weekend when I have free time thanks a lot guys.
Commander Flores Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 Alright just downloaded portable ra and everything works fine! Even the soviet vids! Thanks a lot guys!
Allen508 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I'm glad! When you done try the mod/conversion of C&C95 to RA1 below.
Commander Flores Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Downloaded that too! Thx a lot man. Never played the original command & conquer before but looking foward to it.
Allen508 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Red Dawn is quite close to C&C95 but not 100% and I haven't remade all of the mission from it as well. The Classic Mission are quite close but not everything is the same. Only a few of the Classic Mission have brefing videos. Only videos that I could use for the edits of the RA1 mission were converted to RA1. C&C95 is free as well. http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cnc95upd/cc95p106/ Get Complete No-CD game installation pack (v1.06c r3, no videos, all music included) (96.7 MB) and English videos pack (479.4 MB).
Commander Flores Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 cool, I actually played skirmish on easy and the AI was just so hard! lol I will get it down one of these days. I heard the original command & conquer didn't have a skirmish mode and thats no fun. I do understand that it was the first of the series tho. I have to admit I don't really know a lot about the game or what the war is even about but I'm starting to read the EVA database wiki to get caught up.
Allen508 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Yes the original Cammand & Conquer (C&C/C&C95/C&C Gold) dosen't have skirmish. It was wrote after C&C95's release and ported into RA1. You can see a note of this in the rules.ini if you look at the ; ******* AI Controls ******* It is also not vary mod-able as it has no Rules.ini to edit units or buildings.
Tore Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 cool, I actually played skirmish on easy and the AI was just so hard! lol I will get it down one of these days.

I have to admit I don't really know a lot about the game or what the war is even about but I'm starting to read the EVA database wiki to get caught up. Well you can get the full original C&C here: http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cnc95upd/cc95p106/ if you want to play the campaign
Nyerguds Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I heard the original command & conquer didn't have a skirmish mode and thats no fun.Who needs skirmish? We've collected over 600 fan-made missions. And that's not even counting the campaigns, the Covert Operations, and the Playstation and Nintendo64 versions' unique missions I added to the game with the 1.06 patch.
Commander Flores Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks man. Quick question, is there a video pack I can download for Red Dawn so I can see all the videos? If not or its not possible then I will just watch the briefings on youtube before playing a mission. And again thanks for everything. You guys just killed my occupation this weekend. XD
Commander Flores Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Accidently clicked edit instead of fast reply and it deleted my original comment. lol
Commander Flores Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 And I know where ur getting at with the custom missions but when I was a kid I use to love playing skirmish. It was actually my favorite aspect of red alert and I know a lot of people find it boring over time but at least for me it never gets old. Oh well thats just me.
Nyerguds Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks man. Quick question, is there a video pack I can download for Red Dawn so I can see all the videos? If not or its not possible then I will just watch the briefings on youtube before playing a mission. And again thanks for everything. You guys just killed my occupation this weekend. XD Red Dawn? You mean Tiberian Dawn? And, um, it's right there in the list of downloads on the 1.06 patch page. First is the patch, second is the full game, third are the videos.
Allen508 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks man. Quick question, is there a video pack I can download for Red Dawn so I can see all the videos? If not or its not possible then I will just watch the briefings on youtube before playing a mission. And again thanks for everything. You guys just killed my occupation this weekend. XD Nope. I only put in a few from C&C95. Videos are huge and make a massive download. You can watch them on YouTube as you said. All of the classic mission say what side and mission they are. Red Dawn? You mean Tiberian Dawn? And, um, it's right there in the list of downloads on the 1.06 patch page. First is the patch, second is the full game, third are the videos. Red Dawn has a few of the C&C95 brefing videos. He is asking if I converted all to Red Dawn.
Commander Flores Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Alright its all good thanks guys. I'm actually just gonna stick to red dawn and like I said before watch the briefings on youtube. I gave the original a try but meh I kinda like red dawn better. No offense maybe its just cuz I played red alert but whatever thanks a lot guys and take care.
Allen508 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Boo. Just play C&C1 This is why I'm not converting all of the videos and I'm not putting a lot of work into remaking every single player mission.
