Topics I've Started

First experience playing with other people

10 June 2017 - 02:31 PM

Topic speaks for itself. I must say, upon fighting matches with some people, I must admit. My skills aren't sufficient. Recently, a woman Jasmine just defeated me. That's because of her amazing back attack tactics via Chronosphere plus handy Prism Tanks and mastery of terrain.

 

ughhh. But I accepted my defeat. Enjoyed the game anyway, any other improvements for me? I am a defensive type of player and resortive to sticking to my starting positions, (not planning to use another MCV to expand) but I do scout via dogs and Engis. I just do what Bryan Vahey does at some games. Nevertheless, I think, I'm needing more practice. We both used Euro Alliance btw,


So I tried speedrunning Dance of Blood....

But I failed. Even though this campaign is pretty easy. I planned to speedrun. Idea? Mental Difficulty btw.

Pandora Hub, Duneriders, Elites, and Drillers. 

 

I massed Duneriders and built six Drillers where one of them contains a squad of Elites. Rushed them to the northwest Chinese base. Plan is fairly simple. Once done, deploy the Drillers. Attack the Atomheart, ConYard, and Factories. Mind control any hostiles if necessary especially the Nuwas. Am I doing it right? 


Need Help Installing Mental Omega 3.3

05 February 2017 - 01:45 PM

Hi! Newbie here at revora. First of all, I would like to get help from various users here who also struggle in installing Mental Omega 3.3. Take time to read :)

 

I read carefully the instructions at the Mental Omega website. I even stumbled on the part saying that 3.3 isn't going to work with XWIS. But, it is my only option; to get RA2/YR from the guys at XWIS because my Yuri's Revenge installer isn't functioning right. I am using discs for both games. To get a grasp, here's my laptop specs.

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit Home Single Language

Model: Aspire E5-475G

Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-6100U CPU @2.30 GHz

Installed Memory: 4GB RAM (3.88 GB Usable)

No pen and touch input for display

 

Overview (Please assume already that fixes for black screen were already applied here and as well for patches): I tried installing RA2 and YR regularly. Only Red Alert 2 worked well. The major problem is, my CD for Yuri's Revenge seems to be at "weird state" because when I run its installation menu, everything is black screen. So, to get it done, I had to do Alt+Tab multiple times to show the current state of the screen, to also show on what part of the installation is I am at that moment. It seemed everything went well throughout the installation. After that, I tried running the game. It gave me the message "FATAL STRING." I had to uninstall it unfortunately because it gave me a blue screen on my laptop. Meanwhile, installing Red Alert 2 has no problem at all. The screen shows everything, but what bothers me the most is, I only inserted the Allied Disc and the installation went smoothly. Normally, on Windows 7 on my case on my desktop 5 years ago, it would stop at half percent of completion or at 60% of completion to inform me I have to install the Soviet disc. But no, here at my laptop, the installation got complete without me being informed that I have to install the Soviet disc so to install the Soviet disc, I just dragged and drop the contents for Soviet campaign to my Red Alert 2 directory. It worked.

 

Back at YR, so I ran out of hope. I went to the XWIS forums and followed every detailed instructions to get a fix but no avail. Plokite Wolf on cncnz had a thread on how to fully bypass the issue in discs however, something bothers me, on my YR disc, I can only drag the "mapsmd03.mix" and "thememd.mix" file to my RA2 directory with no problem. For the movies and multimd mix files, it seems that when I drag them, the percentage progress of copy-pasting gets stuck at 0% for some weird reasons. No matter how many times I try, I always end up facing that problem for my disc whenever I attempt to drag and drop the contents there.

 

Finally, I installed the client for YR. The client has no problem in whatsoever. Now, for the main problem. Since the RA2 and YR versions of XWIS is no longer supported, there must be another way to do so. I hope you guys can help me. I will follow thoroughly all of your instructions.
