Hey, if anyone is interested in Red Alert I just made a promo video for cncnet in hopes or trying to revive my childhood game! :) If anyone is interested please check it out.

Not sure if this if of any interest to you guys, but a guy who goes by the name "MattAttackCnC95" on youtube has started regularly uploading multiplayer footage of the original Command & Conquer (Tiberian Dawn), with commentary in some cases too. Here's his account: [url]www.youtube.com/mattattackcnc95[/url]

A 2v2 game on a custom map:

A 3v3 game on yet another custom map:

There are a few other guys who have multiplayer footage of Tiberian Dawn, like Gavinthegamerfreak and CnCGoldOnline, but MattAttack is the only one who regularly uploads footage at the moment. His videos are generally of lower quality and fps than most others, but if you're fine with quantity over quality, it should be fine.

Sorry but the low fps makes those really hard to watch

Did I ever tell you the Fanatic is my favorite unit?

Anyone still plays RA1?
I don't know if any of you are experienced with modding RA1. I would like to create a new skin/sprite for an unit or a building, but i have no idea how to start! Or better...i have no idea how to make one and how to put it in. So if anyone here has done this before ill gladly would like to try this.

It's been awhile since I've modded C&C but the PPM forums are a great way to get started.

If you want to create infantry/buildings you need the SHP maker... I think all units in Red Alert 1 are SHP's actually. They switched to Voxels for vehicles in Tib Sun.

Alright i just downloaded OS Shp builder on the forums. I don´t really see a tutorial for making RA1 on the site.

EDIT: Hmm...looks like i need more than just shp builder. I need XCC and Voxel editor to do these? And i mostly saw how to create units for RA2 or Tiberian sun but no RA1.

EDIT: Alright! I've found the building....or perhaps an ANT building from RA1 and i want to create that into a custom turret. But what i acutally did is, i copied all the .MIX files to the XCC folder so i can edit them whenever i want and so it will not break the game.
Now i've searched in all those .mix files from RA1 and finally i have found the building i was looking for that is an ANT building and now i want to change this into a modern turret.

Now how do i properly edit this image? The colors are really different then how it looks like ingame.

Mess around w/ e palettes.

[QUOTE=Xieneus;39289673]Mess around w/ e palettes.[/QUOTE]

I´ve made the ant building into a bunker now, and i save it as "LAR1" (The same name as the orginal one) and open up XCC mix and open the EXPAND.MIX and drag/drop it into the the XCC mixer and replaces the old LAR1. Now my last thing was to make the LAR1 buildable and can shoot in the rules.ini. But when i build it ingame it just gives me that Larva1 image...why? I also tried naming LAR1 to BNKR1 and put it in the .MIX file and in the rules.ini changed the LAR1 to BNKR1 but while ingame it doesn't appear anymore! Help?

EDIT; Here is how it looks like btw. It's just a test.

[img]http://i49.tinypic.com/9um5iq.jpg[/img].

Another small problem is, whenever i save the the shp file into lar1 and exit it and open the file it gives me an error: "Warning Open Source SHP Builder 3.36 is unable to open this file."
Why is it doing this?

Once again it's been awhile since I've done this stuff, I have no idea honestly.

Look around the PPM Forum.

This thread is lacking something.

Something important.

The Red Alert 2 Intro.

"Drive friendly! The Texas way!"

[snijboer]

So i just played some RA3 and the only faction i choose is The Empire of the Rising Sun.
I've played multiplayer before, a few times, and i must say that the rising sun is pretty weak in my opinion, and also on skirmish.

And Shinzo Nagama is my favorite allied! Just wanted pull that out.

I'm always allies with him while playing skirmish. :v:

So what is your opinion about the Empire of Rising Sun?

Balance wise: I am probably gonna get flamed for this, but better than the other 3rd faction in the past games(at least RA2/expansion).

They might need less on the weird shit though, maybe if there is a RA4, they are little more futuristic than Allies, but less on the other part that they thought of when they were introduced(you know what I am talking about).

Although, I have to admit, using that superweapon in the campaign was satisfying, just rampaging in the city and at [sp]Moscow,[/sp] stomping over Soviets, stabbing them, and getting healed by tesla coils.

I like to switch factions when I play the game sometimes, I usually find myself cycling between the Allies and the Empire of the Rising Sun.

I can't just say no to that music.

The Rising Sun's Navy can fuck shit up quickly.

Transforming tanks are also incredibly useful... and the Nanoswarm Core can stop a massive attack so your troops can mobilize.

And a swarm of Rocket Angels is a death-wish for the enemy team.

Oh man, Frank klepacki is a total genius. All his music for the games before generals is seriously orgasmic.
I took the liberty of remixing one of the RA1 tracks quite a while ago, as it sounded cool but needed some modernising.

Getting the Ultimate Music Collection was one of the main reasons I bought the CnC Ultimate version.
I listen to it almost more than I actually play the games.

[Xieneus]

One of my favorite tracks would have to be Recon from Tiberian Dawn.

Followed by Motorized.

and a whole plethora of others.

Its the only reason I'd get the CnC Ultimate Version.

Can't be bothered with origin, but nothing could stop me getting that soundtrack.

When Origin first came out, I was completely against it, but really, it isn't so bad. It downloads faster for me than Steam does, and now that I've used it enough, I've gotten used to its format.

There are obviously a lot of things they still need to add to make it semi-decent, but it doesn't really bother me anymore.

Origin has earned its share of bad rep in the recent years.

But anything for C&C.

One day when I have enough money again, I will buy that Ultimate Collection.
