Fog of War

08 April 2018 - 02:55 PM

Been reading around this, apparently there's some left over references to fog of war left in RA2 but I was wondering whether this is something Ares would support?

 

playing some multiplayer with my buddies I've found that the best feature to have back would be the 'fog of war' like in age of empires et al that would add another layer of strategy for surprise attacks etc...

 

Apparently this was an option back in tiberium sun (I can barely remember now I think I mostly played campaign for that anyway back in the day), and can apparently be turned back on in red alert 2 according to this (have yet to try this for myself yet, might have a go tonight)

is this something that would be considered for a new version of CnCreload (if/when that happens), or if your reading this FS21 do you have any ideas about how I could implement this into the 1.3 version i have currently? Happy to roll up my sleeves and give it a go myself with a few pointers


CnC Reloaded won't launch on Windows 10

05 April 2018 - 09:19 PM

Hi

 

I've been trying to get this running on a Windows 10 machine - Installing yuris revenge is fine, that all goes on okay and runs fine. As soon as I install C&C reloaded over the top of it, it stops working. Can not launch either from RA2MD.exe (as a test) or Ares.bat (syringe launches okay, but gamemd.exe process hangs in both instances). CMD windows appears, but not error messages.

 

any ideas? I've tried every combination of compatibility settings (as I say, vanilla YR will run fine) and excluding windows defender but no luck still. Here's the syringe log:

RA2 Movies without installer

01 April 2018 - 07:47 PM

Hi guys, if anyone sees this

 

I was trying to get the RA2 mission movies into the mod, as unfortunately the download link is now dead. the usual method of copying the movie .mix files into my folder didn't seem to work however, do I need to rename these to something specific for the mod to pick them up?

 

Thanks
