Red Dawn (RA-1)

Copper:

I hope so

 

Iran:

Test map and Tutorial attched below.

Custom_Tutorial_Test.zip

[Iran]

It needs to be [basic] UseCustomTutorialText= (Yes/No), after which it gets read in from the [Tutorial] section of the map. I think the format needs to be a ascending numeric keys starting from '1=', like:

 

[Tutorial]

1=dee

2=34e343

3=hihihi

 

The mission you uploaded doesn't have 'UseCustomTutorialText=' set correctly and I'm not sure if the '1=' then '247=' thing under [Tutorial] works. Though I'm not sure about the latter and I'm also not sure if my suggestions fix any crashes.

 

Give it a try. At first I patched the game to allow you to use an external Tutorial.INI file to read the tutorial text from but I figured I might as well modify it to read it from a [Tutorial] section in the map file itself, as it seems no one cares about localisation. It's probably where the confusion comes from.

[Allen262]

I thought the UseCustomTutorialText= was like the old one that you needed to list a file. It works fine with R298 now that I know how to use it.

 

As you can see above Copper is traying to use a Custom Tutorial but it is not working. He will have to grab Patch #1 that updates to R298 as the P I BETA2 just crashes.

[Guest Copper]

Thanks to Iran's and Allen's help, I was able to properly finish my first mission. Thanks, guys.

 

Anyone interested, you can find it under RA Singleplayer Maps.

[Iran]

I should have made the changes done to the embedded tutorial text feature clearer. My apologies.

[Allen262]

You don't happen to have a master list of new things? At one time I think you did at Github but it no longer works.

[Iran]

There's the feature list which I update whenever doing additions/changes, but no changelog:

[Allen262]

Well dosn't work. IE show page can not be displayed and Chrome blocks it with a SSL Error.

[Nyerguds]

works for me...

[Iran]

It's working for me too, using Chrome. The site might have been down or experiencing an issue (maybe related to the recent OpenSSL Heartbleed bug).

 

Tell me if the issue persists, I'll just pastebin a text file equivalent.

[Allen262]

I was able to get Chrome to by pass the SSL Error by typing proceed than hitting enter.

[brandonvortex]

hey allen is the patch#1 out? just asking

[Allen262]

Yes. It is on the first page.

[Guest Copper]

Just wanted to mention, I had no trouble getting to see Iran's feature list. I used Chrome.

 

Very interesting stuff...

[Jacko]

Yeah I just read the whole list.

It looks awesome, I see a lot of the stuff implemented towards the end of cncnet4 before cncnet5 was officially released.

[brandonvortex]

hey allen how to make infantry go smaller again i just downloaded patch 1

[Guest Copper]

I'm unable to enable small infantry too. I tick the option, but it does nothing. Didn't much matter to me, but it's strange.

[Iran]

The option is broke because I broke it in the Red Alert patch which Allen uses.

[brandonvortex]

well i think i still have my old red alert before iran change it

 

when i replace the RA95 the infantry small again

[Allen262]

Well R298 was the newest version I knew of. I got it from the Main MINIMUM game package.

[brandonvortex]

i seee

 

anyway heres for anyone who cant get their infantry into small again

soo yeahh i save it just for you folks

RA95.zip

[Allen262]

Well hopefully the small infantry can be fixed and the Jungle added. I'm also thing about doing a few of the C&C95 Funpark/Dinosaurs misison but I know there will be problems. I know the missions have some odd bugs/logic and RA1 dosn't have need dino logic.  Nyerguds should be able to tell me about the odd bugs/logic and as for the Dinos I can find 4 non-turret vehicles that I can Image= for the missions.

[Jacko]

I think the main thing about the dinos from C&C95, (velociraptors at least) healed up everytime they attacked an infantry unit

[brandonvortex]

Hey allen i need help

 

i save my custom misson soo i can continued later but i dunno how to open back in Raed

 

[Guest Copper]

Hi, perhaps I can help.

 

Try this: Place a shortcut of RAED on your desktop (or anywhere it suits you). To open the mission file, drag and drop it over RAED's shortcut. You can, instead of the shortcut, use the .exe itself if it suits you.

 

There is another way, though it doesn't work with my 2nd PC. Right-click on the mission file (or any .ini file), and choose Open With. Select a program to open the .ini with - in this case RAED. Do not choose to open with this same program every time.

If you later right-click on the file and choose Open With, you can directly select RAED - at least this works on my primary PC.

 

The first method should be more straightforward, though.
