C&C: Reloaded - Yuri's Revenge modification

The most noticeable changes of this release are:
- Updated Phobos library to the latest development snapshot with additional features.
- Updated Ares library to version 3.0p1.
- Updated CnC-Draw library to version 4.9.0.0.
- Replaced the old AI system for selecting AI Teams in multiplayer. Now AI can't cheat prerequisites.

- Added 2 new single player maps. These 2 are Tiberian Sun demo missions.

- Enabled a placement preview of the structures.

- Soviets now can choose between Tesla Coil or the Tesla Tower, But once you build one type you won't be able to build the alternative until you sell all the Teslas. Similar to Tech Center/Tech Lab logic.

- Replaced the old GDI Orion ship. Now it uses the EMP cannon for forcing the submerged units to emerge and then attack with the cannon. Previously it was a support unit.

C&C: Reloaded 1.5.3 (minor update)

C&C:Reloaded 1.5.3 released with minor AI teaks and 2 new (old) game modes:
- Assault
- Capture The Flag.

Capture%20The%20Flag%20game%20mode.png

In both modes the player's base will have a flag that must be protected at all costs because if it is destroyed (Assault) or captured (Capture The Flag) the player loose.

Only the Capture The Flag game mode needs online/LAN for playing.

Currently there are 19 adapted maps of these modes but more maps will be adapted in the future.

C&C: Reloaded 1.3

Another C&C:Reloaded anniversary and as I commented in FaceBook few days ago here we have the "1.3" release instead of the "1.5" due the lack of free time. So no Tiberian Sun GDI campaign & other features I wanted include on the next major release of C&C:Reloaded (these new additions will have to wait for the previously mentioned "1.5" release). In addition, I also published the download links of the RA2 video pack and theme packs with its own installer in the main download page of the C&C:R website. After the installation go to the Addons tab and enable them.

The changelog isn't as big as the 1.0 release but I hope the AI is to your liking :-)

December update

Lack of updates, I know, the reason is related to a map :closedeyes:

After spending some weeks finding the reason of a strange bug related to tunnels in a GDI mission finally I got some divine inspiration and fixed it. I didn't ignore the bug & continued with other missions because it was produced by me after changing some parts of the mission 3 (Secure the UFO crash site) and the same parts should be changed in the mission 4 ("Defend the UFO crash site")... I'm happy to know that it was a FA2 map editor bug and not my lack of knowledge :rolleyes:

Moreover, just for demo, here can be watched the first GDI mission:

Easy mission, is more to present the product than anything else. Fortunatelly GDI has a lot of sub-missions that will increase significally the number of playable single player missions in C&C:Reloaded (currently 53 from the original games in the 1.0 release).

If I don't publish anything new in december... I wish you Merry Christmas!

C&C: Reloaded 1.0.6 (hotfix)

I uploaded the hotfix release C&C:R v1.0.6
Is a maintenance release so no important changes until the next major revision.

It is an acumulative update so you don't need install any previous update (v1.0.x) before this one.

This is the list of changes from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6:
- Updated Ares to stable version 0.2P1. It fix an important bug related to bridges.
- Added a DOS batch executable that can enable/disable the mod. Ideal for some users with a problem when activating the mod with the C&C:R mod launcher I couldn't reproduce.

Can be downloaded from here or in ModDB.

FA2: TS terrain palette support

I'm going to talk about a tool I developed some days ago but I haven't finished it until today.
One of the problems when you are creating a TS map in Final Alert 2 is that FA2 not reads the new palette, only the Desert palete (isodes.pal) inside ra2md.mix. Ok so this tool patch (and unpatch

) ra2md.mix with the new colors of the TS terrain. When you have finished you can restore the original file to the original state.

Posted Image

For extra security, there is a check box (see the screenshot) that when is checked does a full copy of ra2md.mix (200MB aprox.) in your game folder (with .backup extension) and instead if unpatch it that backup is used for restoration. About a better FA2 support, for now I haven't finished it but this tool will help you in meanwhile...

You can find it in the Downloads section.

Tip: if you put that executable in your "C&C:Reloaded folder -> mod\" and then you enable the mod a copy in your game folder is made.

C&C: Reloaded 1.0.1 (hotfix)

Hi again!

I released an update that fixes some problems of the initial 1.0 release. No graphical changes until the next major revision.

This is the list of changes:
- Skirmish AI improvements. If all goes well I'll backport the changes into the single player missions.
- Fixed bug in Survivor game mode that forced players to play with only the main unit (the repairer vehicle).
- Now Nod Cyborg is affected by Chaos gas.
- Fixed a mistake in the Psychic Dominator cameo.
- Mirage Tank detection percentage (per individual unit) increased from 15%,5%,2% (hard, normal, easy) to 25%,20%,15%. This percentage is applied only when the Mirage tank is firing.
- C&C:R Mod manager upgraded to the version 3.6.

If I don't change of idea the next major release would be targeted as "v1.5" & mainly will contain the TS GDI campaign, graphic changes/fixes & fixes of know problems, leaving the FS missions for a 2.0 release. (and don't report the save/load crash, isn't related to the mod thanks :-D )

Can be downloaded from here or in ModDB.

C&C: Reloaded 1.0

First of all, thanks for waiting these 7 years until this new release of C&C:Reloaded.

I have been working the last few years to complete this new release & this is the final product of hard work. July 7 of 2012 is the 7º anniversary of the first public release, in 2005 and to celebrate it I released this new mod version in that special date (as always with delays :-P ). Moreover, I have planned what new features will come next, like finish the TS GDI campaign & the Firestorm campaigns (& more maps, more TS graphic improvements etc.
I hope you can enjoy it! :-)

Because the changelog is too long I'll list the main features:
- Restored Yuri's Revenge, Red Alert 2 and Nod's Tiberian Sun single player campaigns (53 selectable missions in total from these C&C games but with extra AI code on each single player campaign from skirmish game mode to increase a bit the difficulty).
- AI of each side has been re-designed from scratch.
- Added CnCNet support. Now you can play online with other people from the "Network" (LAN) button. You can know how many players are online in the LAN lobby without running the game watching the stats from cncnet.org.
- More TS graphics have been improved since the last public release.
- 11 new detailed multiplayer maps (TS maps).
- Dozens of additions/fixes.

C&C:Reloaded need testers!

Posted Image

I'm looking for a little group of testers (max.: 5 or 6) for private tests until the day of the release of C&C:Reloaded v1.0.
Because it will be a private test you can't share the mod making it public because I need to finish some details & (the most important reason to me) it use 3Âº party software (develoment releases of Ares) that can not be released to the public yet (so respect their work please).

If you are interested with this you should be an active player doing feedback in the development forum & search bugs, and not to be the typical player that only want to play the first before everyone, that kind of people can not be useful for the private test & I recommend you to wait to the final stable release (if you waited +5 years for the next version you can wait a bit more

).
As optional, if you are experienced with the previous version of C&C:R and/or if you can play online/LAN games with another friend you could find bugs in parts of the mod that I don't use but your friend must not share this private release (don't be evil please :grin:

).

I'll wait a ~week before I share it to the selected testers & I'll update this message to indicate that I'm not looking for more testers so don't try to send private messages or emails asking for it please :huh:

.
If you are interested to become a tester you must be registered in Revora forums to write in the C&C:R mod forum. I only accept PM (Private Messages) in Revora asking me to be a tester, tester petitions will be invalid if you write in the news or by email.
