Modding Red Alert Help?
Lethal replied to Lethal's topic in Red Alert / Counterstrike / Aftermath Maps & Modding
I wondered why the graphical quality differed. I just figured the AT-AT/AT-ST were early attempts. Suricata's units are refined and sleek. The walkers are more pixelated and flaky. When they move, the pixels seem to fuzz. I played around with fixing it yesterday, but it's out of my league. If his real name is Tim, then he might have landed here. -

For anyone who wants to download a lores attack dog, it can be found here. The fire in the frames where the attack dog gets burned has been recolored to match the new graphical explosions and flames in my mod. If it bothers anyone, I can fix it back to the way it was. I checked out your Star Wars mod, Nyerguds, and it looks incredible. Both the AT-AT and AT-ST were my personal favorites. And I must say, the Pisstrooper was pretty funny. -

Yeah, I resized all three dog SHPs (even the one where the dog gets electrocuted). I'll post the resized dog in a day or two. Right now I've got work to do. Also, thanks for everything. I'm eager to check out that unfinished star wars mod when I get a free moment. -

One thing I hate about Red Alert is the odd unit proportions. Compared to my guys the dogs looked like horses. Your pallettes saved me hours worth of work. Slight detail was lost in the resize, but at least my dogs are the right size now. -

1. Those pallettes will certainly come in handy. Thank you very much! 2. This sounds quite complicated. I'm a patient person, so the workload doesn't scare me, but I'm not familiar with hex editing. How will I know which lines of text to copy and where to paste them? If I run through a few hex editing tutorials, will all this be self-explanatory? 3. Yeah, I goofed up my link. This is a so called "lost" C&C site. The project was abandoned several years ago and all the files were supposedly released, but I can't find the mod available for download anywhere. I'd like to see it because the screenshots look incredible. Why was the project abandoned, if I may ask? You guys had a good thing going. -

I'm trying to mod Red Alert. Things are going well, but I've run into a few snags. Question 1: Transparent color problem I'm trying to resize the attack dog. The people in Red Alert are grossly over-sized. I've been replacing the hires soldiers with lores ones to compensate. It's done, but the attack dog doesn't seem to have a lores counterpart. I downloaded a program that can batch resize all the dog .tga files. It worked beautifully, except for the consequence of the dog's back being the same color as the transparent background. The dog looks like a pair of legs running around with no body. Is there as way around this? How does the game differentiate between background black and Tanya's hair? Question 2: Red Alert terrain I think the temperate terrain in RA is hideous, so I'd like to recolor it. I've search high and low for how to do this, but have found very little. So far, I know of only two people who have done this: Bullet and Allen262. Allen262 finished an amazing Desert Theater for Red Alert, which you can find here. It's good, but he didn't recolor the trees. Bullet also made a terrain mod in his Perfect RA mod. It's good, but has a few terrain hiccups. How did they do this? The sno and temperat mix files contain two types of files: .shp and .tmp. I can edit .shp just fine with XCC Mixer, but what about .tmp? Also, just on a whim, I recolored all of Allen262's trees in his desert mod. When I replaced his trees and tried the game, everything glitched. The ground turned black and my game froze. Question 3: Red Alert: Star Wars Edition Where can I download this? I'd like to see what they did.
