0 FunkyFr3sh Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hey! Get our patcher from here: https://forums.cncnet.org/index.php?topic=1918.0 Make sure you select "Patch existing installation", but it should be automatically selected if you have the the ultimate collection installed already. After the installation click on "play online", then you guys can either play online or LAN. You can also try our mini multiplayer installation, it can be installed even if you already have the ultimate collection (there will be no confilct) https://cncnet.org/red-alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dcelouera Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thank you very much. The patcher worked and my brother and i can now multiplayer to our hearts content. The only trouble is that my brother has been tweaking the rules on the original ultimate collection Red Alert 1 to be more realistic (in his opinion) which was working well. We have copied and overwritten the rules.ini and aftrmath.ini files with my brothers modified ini files in to the now patched game and none of the changes are taking affect. We also added the MPLAYER.ini file which was required in the original ultimate collection for the changes to work properly.Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated especially as my brother has spent over 40 hours adjusting and testing his rules.

0 FunkyFr3sh Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The files are named different on CnCNet, rules.ini = spawn.xdp and aftrmath.ini = spawnam.xdp (just rename yours) mplayer.ini is not used anymore, but if you have some useful changes in it then just copy it into spawnam.xdp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dcelouera Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks for all the help mate. My brother and i now have it working great and are enjoying some great red alert matches.At first we couldn't get the aftermath units in multiplayer, it turned out that the MPLAYER.ini folder needed its contents moved into the spawnam.xdp. Now it is working great. Thanks once again for all your prompt and great help, dcelouera. :mammoth: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
