Iran 12 Posted April 5, 2013 Updated with a new small patch to the RAED EXEs, they will no longer show a message window telling you that you need Red Alert 2.0 to play maps larger than a certain size. Share this post Link to post
Aasfresser 0 Posted December 27, 2013 I've updated the pack with a hacked RAED exe that allows you to create and load DESERT and WINTER theater maps. nice job. It is possible to play this? The red alert palette looks awful used for the desert theater. it is possible to use the C&C desert palette for this? I would prefer to use the original shores/rivers from TD instead of editing the tiles from the temperate theater. I added the orginal desert rocks using the name slots from the interior boxes (boxes01 - boxes09) with .des ending. the editor use it proper, I think the game would too. desert_rocks.rar Share this post Link to post
Iran 12 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) It should work just fine ingame too yes. Allen262 has been experimenting with extending the temperate theater using the interior tiles. I think the TD desert shores weren't converted as Allen262 didn't have time for it, can't really remember. There might be a technical issue. TD does some extra palettes stuff to support TD so the TD desert palette can't be supported from what I was told. I forgot what the issue. Are you able to place these rocks with RAED hacked for desert support properly? You can play desert multiplayer maps with the ra303p patch by downloading the game from iran.cnc-comm.com/redalert , you can also download CnCNet 5 from cncnet.org/download , it also uses ra303p and it also comes with the desert files. There's a full map preview generator which supports the new theaters: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=2530.0 and a thumbnail generator: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=2516.0 Edited December 27, 2013 by Iran Share this post Link to post
Aasfresser 0 Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) seems to be only RAED place them correctly. Ingame they have graphic glitches and units can move through it. Desert theater works excellent, winter indeed not. I got this kind of modern art instead until I changed the file names in winter.mix from .tem to .win. fix: http://www.4shared.com/file/K86GkcpJ/winter.html Edited December 28, 2013 by Aasfresser Share this post Link to post
Nyerguds 100 Posted January 8, 2014 TD does some extra palettes stuff to support TD so the TD desert palette can't be supported from what I was told. I forgot what the issue.Basically, the TD user interface and unit/structure graphics are optimized to only use part of the palette, while a specific other part of the palette (about half of it, in fact) is left free to change between the theaters. Since that common part remains the same, this allows the game to change the palette between theaters and still use the same UI and unit/structure SHP files. RA does no such thing, and has only one ingame palette for all theaters, so changing that would involve splitting off these common colours from the "theater colours" and reconverting all existing ingame unit/structure/UI graphics to use only that common part of the palette. Pretty crazy amount of work. Share this post Link to post
Iran 12 Posted April 28, 2014 Added jungle support, patched RAED to read 6 theaters (instead of using stock RAED and a hex edited one) and included mega map files for desert, winter and theater. The download links in the first post have been updated. Share this post Link to post
PurpleGaga27 37 Posted April 28, 2014 Great update, but does that mean any created custom skirmish/mission map(s) with desert terrain works in Portable RA only? Share this post Link to post
Iran 12 Posted April 29, 2014 Desert maps work with every version of Red Alert which uses a recent version of the ra303p patch and which includes the desert.mix theater files. Share this post Link to post
ROB 0 Posted March 10, 2015 Any plans on a RAED version with the expanded tilesets Allen262 made? Share this post Link to post
