C&C:Reloaded v1.0
Hi everyone,
I have been working the last few years to complete the new release & this is the result 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. 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. so expect more news in the new future
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.
Congrats on the release, Just wondering though, if you actually resized/fixed all the RA2 Buildings/SHPs (I.E: Changing to Tiberian Sun Shadows, and resized Infantry & Buildings to be smaller by 25%) Otherwise a great release. Good to see The Modding Community is still alive and pumping out good stuff. _________________ ~~~Stay calm & be one with Yuri~~~

Edit: What am I doing with the addons? How should they be named? I understand they have to go in the addons folder under CNCReloaded?
Edit 2: As a request could there be a no CD option? Since I guess I can't do it myself with the launcher removing unneeded files. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
@Atomic_Noodles:
A significant number of buildings were fixed for this release (they were resized in the previous release but I only fixed some GDI buildings graphics), including some few parts of the TS terrain but a lot of work has to be done to consider it "complete", with the time will be done, & I have to do more mod releases to add other TS/FS missions etc. About infantry, the fixing task will be the last thing I'll do (isn't the same fix few dozens of frames of a unit/building/tilesets that fix 1 soldier of +650 frames... that would be stressful to very little gain ). I will fix these graphics it as hobby as I did these years
@OmegaBolt:
Due to the date limit I decided to not add the download function I wanted for the Mod Manager for the add-ons so it has to be added manually in the addons sub-folder until I create installers for them or/and develop that install option I mentioned in the program.
No-CD option? why should I add that? since I'm not using the mod as standalone game I didn't plan such case. But it can be added that -CD Ares argument editing all the *.bat files located at the Mod Manager folder -> "ares" subfolder & MM will use them. Unfortunately there is a case where this doesn't work: when CnCNet support is disabled -> MM runs "Syringe.exe gamemd.exe + selected Arguments" (is the typical wtf code you could write when you are very sleeply ) so if you don't disable CnCNet you should be able to use the no-CD tag. I think that I should add more "liberty" in the next MM release doing the same *.bat cases for when CnCNet is disabled in the options. _________________ C&C:Reloaded > GDI, Nod, Allies, Soviets & Yuri... & TS terrain!

Well I meant the CnCR Launcher should allow "no-CD" files to stay in the YR folder. In order for the Ares CD function to work certain mixes need to be copied into the game folder such as multimd.mix and mapsmd03.mix however these obviously will get removed when running Reloaded.
Also just a note: why in 2012 do I still have to suffer seeing crappy assets ie your YR faction additions, mainly the new Soviet and Yuri structures (airpads and Yuri Service Depot). There are better replacements, even if they have been used a fair few times already. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I forgot that files that doesn't come in the initial installation are backuped until the mod is disabled. Ok I think that I should include the .mix files that exist in the CD in the whitelist.
Yes, I know that & those graphics are going to be replaced in the next release (Soviet/Yuri airpad & Yuri S. Depot). I was too focused on TS graphics
Remember to replace any Blizzard Asset you used, Graphical,Audio,etc.
Blizzard doesn't care a ztype as long as you used their graphics you will burn in hell. _________________ ~~~Stay calm & be one with Yuri~~~
