Huge C&C1 Singleplayer mappack

[Nyerguds 102]

HIT1

It is possible that

hit1=GoodGuy,1,0,0,0,0,20,1,0,0,2,HTNK:1,MTNK:2,2,Move:4,Attack Units:4,0,0

wouldn't be "ATTACK UNITS:4".

This is commonly not enough time. If that happens try "ATTACK UNITS:40"

Well, that seems like an obvious case where the mission maker thought the command needed another repeat of the waypoint, rather than the amount of time to attack. I usually put all of those on 50 or 99

 

I'm not sure that trigger KILL can be activated by entering it, once it is over a hospital. Maybe the command should be "ATTACKED", instead of "PLAYER ENTER" or the CELLTRIGGERS must surround it.

Observing the overall map, it needs finishment also.

The player enters thing depends if it is used as capture trigger. In that case the Player Enters should simply be linked to the building. That works, and will be triggered if the building is either infiltrated by an engineer or blown up by a commando.

Ooh, those sound familiar

 

Did you test the Rescue Moebius one? if that's the mission I think it is (Desert theater), I know I put some work into fixing it once, because in the original, Moebius was simply missing from the map

 

btw, The Cabal Computer is simply an upgrade of Rambos in the Jungle... not a sequel or something at all.

 

SCG104EA - The Death Camp and

Eh?

Eheheh, I know Moebius is there cause there's a trigger on him. I don't play the missions as a whole, I just start them and make some scout to see if it gonna show some error.

Now that I'm making checks in the triggers and teamtypes, some horrors are showing up, like "The Death Camp" - only 1 teamtype and 7 missing teamtypes in the trigger section.

I'll have to play this mission someday and then, remake these missing parts or find an upgrade somewhere. After I finish publishing all the missions I have here, I'll decide what to do with the problematics that skipped.

Tip: take a look at the Excel file inside the ZIP. I'm getting faster now rsrssrsrsrs

 

About this:

SCG104EA - The Death Camp and

SCG105EA - Surprise by Justin Haaga

means both missions has the same author.

 

About "Rambos in the Jungle": you had told me before it's an upgrade. I put them together cause the authors seemed to be different at the time I've published it. (I mean: you know the story, I don't eheheehe)

Since it is an upgrade, we can put Cabal Computer as EA and Rambos as EB or simply get rid of Rambos in the jungle. Let me know ...

 

[Nyerguds 102]

If it's indeed the Desert mission I think it is (big prison complex in the top right corner, helis to capture in the bottom right), then that just means you're using my fixed version

Yeah, I know a lot of stuff in missions is blatantly copied from original missions, by people who had no idea whatsoever of how the mission programming worked. Even if the waypoints are completely incorrrect a lot of them seemed to be satisfied if the AI just built and sent stuff. The teams usually find their way to the player's base anyway, no matter what waypoints they're set to follow. So yes, that way you get to see some pretty horrible stuff in the mission files.

 

About this:

SCG104EA - The Death Camp and

SCG105EA - Surprise by Justin Haaga

Well seeing as it's a list, that's really unclear - just repeat the name, lol.

Well, if you play them through you'll see that Rambos is just far too easy. On a map with only infantry, commando missions get boring.

If it's indeed the Desert mission I think it is (big prison complex in the top right corner, helis to capture in the bottom right), then that just means you're using my fixed version

 

Hmm, I think this is a third option.

 

It is not your fixed mission, it's not a desert theater, it is temperate.

 

But Moebius is not missing. He is there: I can see him, but I can't tell you or the others eheheheheheh

 

One last comment: I don't think this is the only "Save Moebius" Mission.

I'll have to check in the other packs and see what I'll find there.

 

 

/edit

A first look and almost nothings popped up. There is a "Kill Moebius" mission.

If there is a factory mission, maybe that's the confusion I'm making.

The "Kill Moebius" is funny cause you have to destroy ALL GDI first to get the guy. There are 3 or 4 GDI bases in the mission. You have even to ... kill Moebius ... rssrsrsrsrs

In the future I'll make a "Kill the bastard" mission.

 

Edited April 22, 2011 by Solo

[Nyerguds 102]

Hmm, right... I think it wasn't actually called "save moebius", now I think about it.

[Chimas 7]

I'm really sorry, I'm not making myself clear.

 

The name of the mission is "Rescue Moebius".

The one you saw in the list.

This is one subject.

 

What I was talking about after is:

I sense there is another mission where you have to rescue Moebius, a "SAVE MOEBIUS" (kind of) mission.

 

It must be there among the other missions, with an indirect related name.

I'll check for the word "Moebius" in the briefings later and see what I can find.

It's not a difficult task, I just have to finish some files first.

[Nyerguds 102]

Found it. It was "Escape From Alcatraz".

[Chimas 7]

Found it. It was "Escape From Alcatraz".

 

Ok, here it is. (see attached)

This is probably the original version. The auhtor named it both "Straight and Narrow" and "Escape from Alcatraz".

This one wasn't working, I corrected some parameters.

Now it is running, but there is really no MOEBIUS and there is a missing teamtype also: GUARD6.

The XCC crashes when I try to open it and using the game, your start northwest with a lot of RMBOs and there is a NOD base in Southeast.

 

If you have your version, put it here and I'll substitute.

SCG182EA___Escape_From_Alcatraz___Richard_Kee.zip

[Nyerguds 102]

Eh, it should be in my tactical.rar (see this post), under GDI\ESCAPE. It seems I was wrong when I said those were untouched. I definitely fixed a bunch of them.

Ok, I'll take a look and whatever you've fixed, I'll use it.

It will take a while, but whenever I substitute any file, I'll let know here.

[Chimas 7]

Nyerguds,

 

In your pack:

http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cncstu...ns/tactical.rar

 

There's one mission >> GDI: BETRAYL

It's not working due to excess of triggers, I've counted 46.

After decreasing it to 40 (random cut), it was playable again.

I didn't note anything wrong with triggers and teamtypes line commands, that's why the notion about the excess of triggers.

 

Would you confirm this impression, and if so, could you choose which triggers to cut?

No hurries on this, I only revised half of GDI missions yet and there's still the Nod part ahead.

Hi,

 

Nyerguds, I've finished all the GDI missions of your file tactical.rar. The impact of changes happened mostly in SCG100.MIX and SCG120.MIX

 

I've updated SCG100 @4shared and SCG120 will be updated soon.

 

Now, I'm moving to the Nod part of tactical.rar. btw, take a look at the post before this one.

 

 

GDI pack SCG100 were fully audited:

- triggers, teamtypes and even map editing;

- I´ve Tested the opening of all missions;

- An EXCEL file were provided marking the main changes. There's a TODO list in the end with 3 items;

- Inside the ZIP files missions you will find the original INI/BIN, the corrected files that took place around year 2000 and the new coded files with the last changes.

 

The changes are fast, but it's taking time due to a lot of other issues like: I'm starting mapmaking, testing palettes and stuff like these.

[Nyerguds 102]

Hmm, never really looked at the limits of the trigger reading code. You mean all triggers stopped working until you reduced it to 40?

[Chimas 7]

Hi,

 

This is another related issue:

 

- I've found this place with 8 CDs and a lot of stuff about games in general, take a look:

 

http://cd.textfiles.com/ - the page

http://cd.textfiles.com/swextrav8/ - the list of CDs, didn't see all

on each directory, look for the file disc#.bbs for the list of files to browse and seek out what you might be looking for.

 

A lot of old stuff...

 

Related to CnC95, I've downloaded around 20 "new" missions so far

 

/edit

My mistake: it's really a lot of stuff and most of them, not usefull, but worths a visit:

I really can't make any sense of where I'm supposed to find the files listed in these bbs files...

[Chimas 7]

I know, you have to try ALL the folders, one by one.

 

But in this one

http://cd.textfiles.com/swextrav8/swextrav8-3/

 

it's in the folders Game1 up to Game5, which is where I've found all the stuff about CNC95. Didn't find anywhere else, but I could have miss something.

[Nyerguds 102]

Oooh, awesome, there are also Warcraft II PUD files in there

[Chimas 7]

Hmm, never really looked at the limits of the trigger reading code. You mean all triggers stopped working until you reduced it to 40?

 

 

I'll confirm this issue next weekend.

 

Also, I discovered (actually it's still a suspicion) that the limit for the number of structures is 120.

I had a major fix in one Nod mission called TRAP (SCB115EA @ SCB100.MIX/ZIP)

and it has 140 structures and it crashes.

With 120 it is playable again.

 

Just wait for the next update of SCB100 in the next few days, for more comments on this one too.

In this pack, in most of the missions I used the fixes of your "tactical.rar" too.

 

 

\edit

Ok, bad science, I'm starting to see the other side of the sheeps.

SCB111 - Bad Boys has 151 Structures. So, if there's a limitation, must be a SUM of resources (U+S+I+ etc).

Odd, starting to sound like the old 15k file limitation... but I changed that; the game can now read files up to 15 MEGAbytes without any problems.

Could you make one list with all the missions downloads so far? They're getting quite spread out over the posts...

 

Maybe you should make a new topic for it, too, so you can keep the top post updated.
