RA1 chrono vortex question

[Roadkill 0]

Does anyone know how to trigger chrono vortex in PC Red Alert? I've seen it in the PSX port only. For PC I tried different versions (original, counterstrike, aftermath), I tried different patches, I tried to edit rules.ini to increase vortex appearence percentage and to make chronosphere charge faster - none of this worked...

It's extremely rare, even with a modified vortex appearance chance.

Really?

It happened quite regularly on my original aftermath disks.

I have TFD installed now and haven't checked, but it shoud be the same.

Have not checked the games code for a while, but im sure there is a function for the vortex...

There's a rules tag for it, and it does happen occasionally. Some maps more than others IIRC. So yes, there is a function.

Oh, I just found (on another forum) that I can trigger the vortex in singleplayer missions by adding "ChronalVortex" as a crate bonus in rules.ini, and then picking up that crate in the game.

That was the first time I've seen the vortex in PC Red Alert despite being playing it for years O_O. Looks really cool.

 

It's strange, how in the PSX Red Alert the vortex appears much more frequently (and looks like some thunder cloud rather than the vortex).

It's kinda swirling and it's scary if it's in you base. I only seen a few when i played a skirmish for too long.
