Red Dawn (RA-1)

[Allen262 3]

It dosen't have a virus.  Some antivirus software think the ra95.exe is a virus. I know Kaspersky use to but I emailed them about it and it was cleared up quite awhile ago. I also belive Norton was doing the same but it was fixed before I delt with Kaspersky.

 

All of the community builds of RA1 are know do this because of updates to the ra95.exe to fix bug and add new things. The community builds are based on PortableRA and specifically the ra95.exe AKA the Iran patched exe file. PortableRA http://iran.cnc-comm.com/ra/ has a warning about antivirus false positives at the bottom of the page.

Aaand here we go, complete desert tileset for Red Alert, replaces temperate.

 

[Jacko 5]

looks very nice

of course RA already has its own compatible desert set that doesn't replace temperate, maybe you could switch it with this?

[Tschokky 4]

Jacko: wow, hold on frankly, this is new to me. What exactly does this mean? The term Theater=DESERT is actually valid in RA as well? Are the TMPs as the same as in C&C or in RA (just like the one I made)?

[Jacko 5]

yes this is possible with the latest versions of RA, and is compatible with cncnet 5

 

I think winter (not snow) was converted too but I cannot confirm

[Tschokky 4]

AFAIK the latest version is 3.03, I have it too, but it crashed when I tried Theater=DESERT.

[Jacko 5]

try using the current cncnet5 RA versions

[FunkyFr3sh 218]

the original 3.03 doesnt support it, you need our patched versions

 

cncnet5 comes with all needed files, portableRA too

 

Edit: why do we spam allens Red Dawn thread ?

[Allen262 3]

Tschokky

Iran's RA1 dose support Destert and Winter. Red Dawn used both before CnC Net 5 done. Red Dawn 2013 used desert for the Nod missions. GDI 9 is the only winter mission but loads of the skrimish maps used both as well. You best update to your RA1 with the Iran ra95.exe and related things.

 

FunkyFr3sh setup will patch your current install. http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/  Before you do the patching back up any modded thing just to be safe.

 

Desert tiles use the same name as temperate and snow but the file extension for desert is .des.

 

Jacko

I converted the C&C95 winter to RA1 for Iran as well.

 

FunkyFr3sh

Because it is the best thread? :-)

@Tschokky: The finished Desert conversion looks great, can I ship it with the 3.03p Red Alert patch?

[Tschokky 4]

That would be an honor. I will upload the file shortly and give you a link.

[Iran 42]

Did you also create Desert graphics for the river etc tiles which C&C1 don't have but RA1 does? I.e. RA1 has a larger tile set than C&C1

[Tschokky 4]

Yep.

[Iran 42]

Very nice! Could you upload the files?

 

I'm a bit worried this somehow breaks currently released desert maps but there are only a few of them so it shouldn't be so bad.

[Nyerguds 138]

Someone should finally fix the damn crate colour though

[Allen262 3]

The damaged and destryed briges look kind of cartoon-ish with all of the cracks.

[Nyerguds 138]

Indeed it does... would be better if that were based on either recoloured versions of the cracked Temperate one, or on the broken Desert bridge in C&C1.

[Tschokky 4]

You're absolutely right. I thought recoloring would really take a lot of time, so that's why I deceided to do that. I'll probably re-draw them later. In the meantime, here are the two mixes:

 

Desert.mix with tiberium

Desert.mix with gold/gems

https://mega.co.nz/#!cV13XSKC!P2Q-PCMDbAc_enr-dduhq7Cm4tZ-ojMpJzie3uzH2dk

[Allen262 3]

Looks good over all. FORD1 and FORD2 do not work. RV02 and RV09 have some bad cut off. And eveything is well RED...

 

[Tschokky 4]

Thank you. Will get to work on it shortly.

[Tschokky 4]

Sorry about the redness, it's only because I use a different palette for my C&C conversion, I'll fix that too.

[Tschokky 4]

Tileset fixed, will upload tomorrow morning. Your feedback is mich appreciated.

[Tschokky 4]

Try it now, I hope every tile is fine now. Cartoonish thing will be solved later.

Hi there I finally re-downloaded and installed red dawn. is it me or the AI doesn't repair the buildings? i'm in the GDI mission where I have to go and defend the path I've cleared in a previous mission for a convoy, and well I send a few medium tanks at a time destroying the buildings in the nod base. as I sent the tanks and get trounced by the enemy, I realized that the damage I've done to the building doesn't get repaired. So, I was able to easily disable the supply of light tanks sent by the AI as soon as the weapons factory was blown. I saved the missions at theis point , but I've notciced that there was no repair icon on the building and the building has not been rebuilt also, The only building i've seen the AI fix is the Conyard.

 

was that suppose to happen?

 

[Jacko 5]

yes

The AI in that mission was only told to repair the construction yard and the refinery

although it does rebuild things after a while unless something blocks where its supposed to be rebuilt
