I think the poor dogs in Ra1 and ICFRA are too useless - not have much better speed and sight, too vulnerable and in fact, dogs can`t deal with spies efficiently even in original YR.

Artillery`s range is too short - it`s even shorter than Tesla Coil`s or Turret`s.

AI`s spy still infiltrate War Factory and Barracks (Maybe it`s hard to fix this ).

Soviet Heavy Tank is overpowered......Because in RA2 tanks can fire while running.

Little Shock Trooper is much weaker than Tesla trooper in RA2 as it can be crushed but costs......$900

:( Tanya won`t shoot at enemy infantry automaticly but only manually or retaliatively.

Units come out from wrong place of a War Factory.

Maybe you should introduce the Rock Patch in ICFRA as you need to set"NewPlayableCountries=-5" to prevent the inexistent countries was choosed by random.

Good Luck and Climb On , Daz

Isn't Mammoth's AA the same as Apocalypse's? Or maybe it's got to do with it being able to shoot infantry with its missiles? Can't it just use IFV missiles then if it's not already?

Why? In fact, Mammoth is mainly used as Flak and Anti-inf tankin RA1
And ICFRA`s rules are based on RA1 not RA2.

Just as it was in RA

It shouldn't be chrushable, that's right.

:( Tanya won`t shoot at enemy infantry automaticly but only manually or retaliatively.

She's not supposed to auto-accuire targets either.

The thing you have to remember about using the RA2 Engine is that the general size of units and the terrain is larger then in RA2, as is the camera angle. So you may copy the code from RA exactly but you need to adjust it slightly so it fits in with the RA2 engine...

The Flame Tower for instance, maybe make its range 6 instead of 4. That way it looks like it has the same range as it did in RA. Maybe the same could be done with the Artillery, just increase it slightly from the original RA rules to fit in with the RA2 Engine.

Just give it a go and see how it is ingame, im sure it'll feel more like RA then

[Daz]

Thing is, if I move one thing's range up I need to move them all up so it's fair. And if I move them all up it ends up being the exact same difference.

About the Internal Errors.
I got a few that seemed to be randomly happening if I played a full game til the destruction of my enemy and then the IE would occur at some stage in the next game. I changed a few things and played a good few games and it seemed to have gone away. I might well have rubbish leftover in my directory too.
Is anyone else experiencing them?

I've had no problems... maybe your mod just likes my computer

[MCV]

I got an IE when my flamethrower started to attack, but I had RP installed so I though it might have been because of that, thus I didn't report it.

[Daz]

I'm pretty sure RP doesn't affect mods unless they use RP coding, but I've not had an IE from that so it's either unrelated to ICFRA or there are random IEs loose.

[Shine On]

I've just played two more games as Russia... And the first game worked fine. However the 2nd game (after about 30min) had a random IE. And there was no reason for it... i didn't destroy any buildings at the time... make the units do anything specific.


Also another thing (i believe to be a bug) is that NO vehicles have voices for "confim move" or "confirm attack". You know, the voice they say when you click on where they should more or attack.

[Daz]

The vehicles have voices for 'Confirm Move' and 'Confirm Attack', I've just checked now and they work.
That's a bug on your end, or something that's going wrong with the .exe.

These random IEs worry me.
If it's random it's going to be a pain in the arse to track down.

I had one after I'd Tanya C4ed a load of buildings and was just blowing up a power plant. Do you remember what was happening when yours occurred?

[Shine On]

Actually, i think we were attacking a powerplant... i was about to finish a base off with a rush and my tanks were attacking an enemy power plant i think...

[Daz]

Interesting.
I also had one when I'd just built my first Power Plant of the game, but it was delayed enough for me to have clicked the Refinery cameo.

I'm going to make a new topic for these.

[Daz]

I find it's a brilliant anti infantry weapon to throw in amongst your tanks. It's also handy for demolishing bases once you've made a hole in the defenses, hell you can rush a Tesla Coil with a few of them and they'll come out on top.

[Daz]

They're ported version so they're small.

[Daz]

Not heard about any graphics tune ups from RP, I believe I read the full feature list too.

Really all mine need are retexturing because the textures are a bit naff, they're some ones Spidey/Macrophage/Merophage gave me ages ago in Yuri scheme that I coloured to Soviet and Allied verisons. So it's just a small texture tiled.
I'll post some renders at some stage to show what I mean.
So there's definately room for improvement on my end.

[MCV]

Technician sometimes uses it's "Death" animation as a "Stand" animation.

Mammoth Tank cannot find a suitable loction to fire at Longbows from.

Missile Subs and Subs use the same voxel, which is confusing.

Parabombs bring in two planes, it should be one.

I never cheched, but isn't the Chronotank only avaliable after you have built the Chronosphere?

[Daz]

That's what you get when you try and add an infantry unit you forgot about 2 minutes before uploading
I don't think it's even the right graphics, it's the only one that seemed to have firing anims.

No idea what's wrong with them, it just doesn't like shooting at AA. It seems to happen more in the R3 i'm running than it does in R2 though.

See attached, admittedly not a huge difference but I don't think there was a big difference in RA. And at the end of the day they're both subs, how different can they get.

I was using two to differentiate between Parabombs and Paratroops. You see one plane coming and saddle up your Rangers, see two and prepare for base damage.

It only needs a Tech Centre. To be honest it doesn't make much sense given that Tesla Tanks/Shock Troopers need a Tesla Coil and Demo Trucks need a Missile Silo, but it's how it is in RA's rules.ini.

[Daz]

I think we're going to see an R2.5 because there's some pretty serious errors being found such as flame weapon IEs and the helis refusing to fire.
They pretty much eliminate the units from the mod and the flame weapon one is going to be really annoying for the people finding it.
