I tried Beta 2.5 of It Came From Red Alert ,and theres is one really annoying thing!

The infantry Units are too small!

I think ,you should make them 2 times bigger in the next version ,if your too lazy to create high quality models like Tanks and Buildings ,then just double size them.

However ,this is a very great mod ;)

They're only that size in the first place because I downsized them.

OMG!
Can you release a version whit a non downsized infantry?

Or just give me a link where I can download last It Came From Red Alert version whit normal sized infantry...

They are so small that your eyes get hurt!

I think the purpose of this mod is to make RA1 in RA2 ,not to make some kind of Ant sized people who fight whit the ants...

When I think of RA1 I think of shitty little gfx. If you don't like Daz's hard work, he's probably done it well :p
If you feel so strongly about this, I'm sure Daz won't mind if you coded in larger infantry, just if you do, don't take credit for his work.

I certainly won't be doing new infantry myself.
I don't think that shoehorning RA2 infantry graphics into RA1 roles or using released graphics is good enough either.

I play at 1280x960 and it's fine for me :p

Bottom line is I want at least a semi-sensible scale from buildings to vehicles to infantry.

Has it occured to you that scale = making everything bigger, not just infantry, so not any different to resolution change, which you're complaining about anyway?
If you don't want things bigger now, just drop it already - Daz said no anyway, and theres nobody else here to be convinced, its his mod.

Is there no way to scale infantry only?

It's entirely possible to make only the infantry bigger on my end of things.
However they would then not look in-scale with vehicles and buildings.

You could rip the .shps from Ra1, run them through the palette conversions and then skip the resize down step.

in tiberian dawn and redalert1 there was too big in relation to buildings

keep it small, it looks better

Are you kidding? It was tib dawn and RA1 that had the best scaled infantry, and maybe generals (if you count that as a proper CnC game...) Tib Sun the inf got a wee bit bigger, then RA2's infantry where the size of tanks... (THEY where dumb)

Perhaps you do not have the HIRES1 infantry patch for RA1, the 95 version's infantry where really ugly and where almost twice the size of the original DOS infantry (which the HIRES1 patch fixes back to, and they are the infantry in this game), Also the buildings in Tib Dawn and RA1 i'm almost sure look smaller than those in Tib sun and RA2 so I can see where you are coming from in terms of proportionality
