Red Alert 1 Secret Missions: It came from Red Alert Giant Ants

[yuriprime]

Are these secret missions in the CNCNet.org file Red Alert 1? I cannot seem to access them.

    Discovery!

    Rescue!

    Hunt!

    Exterminate!

I have done the clicking on the upper right speaker image at the main menu but never seem to pull up those missions. Are they here?

 

Thank you, :laugh:

You need to press the shift key first.

And you install the full game (RA1installer.exe), not the online version

Hi,

 

I found a bug. When the resolution is changed compared to the default, the area where to click changes also.

I'm not sure what you mean with that, but if it's anything like this, then it's just because the mission is smaller than your screen resolution, and you can fix it just by opening and closing the main menu to force the game to refresh the battlefield UI.

Hi Nyerguds,

 

No, I really mean in the main menu.

 

To start the ant missions, after having increased the resolution, clicking on the speaker having Shift pressed does not launch the ant missions.

 

I've to click more on the left (more or less at the end of the game title logo) to launch ant missions.

Ah, hm. Yeah, they should really fix that, then -_-

I don't think this can be fixed unless button are told to be drawn larger to match the rez settings. I'm sure this is why the launcher has a Ant mission option.

Its not that hard to just shift-click around the screen until you find it

[Nyerguds]

From what I experimented earlier, you don't even have to shift click. It's sufficient to just tap the shift key once, and that enables the clickable area. It's probably a bug, but it works that way :laugh:

Yes, it's fine like this.

 

The aim of my post was certainly not to fix this but just to document the workaround in case someone else encounters the issue.
