Red Alert (1) & Westwood Chat Problem

Recommended Posts

Guest kidney_stone

there is no way anymore to update "Red Alert 1" to version 1.08

using "westwood chat"

this is why it's impossible to play red alert on westwood servers.

is there any registry patch , or instructions on how to make "westwood

chat" to recognize that i've already installed the 1.08 game patch ?

this would be VERY helpfull.

 

thanks in advance,

 

Arik.

I thought that they'd shut down the RA servers????

 

Looking at the westwood site might help I suppose. :roll: :twisted:

The red alert 1 server and all of westwood chat and planet westwood servers have been shut down for years now.

 

there is no use for them as no one goes on them anyway!!

where can I download the new westwood chat?Its a better place to play AFTERMATH than gamespy.Nobody plays aftermath there, just the p4 map,which is good but Aftermath is a different and equally fun experience.

I played there some years ago but now i cant find a place to get it.

Normally, WCHAT version 4.221 is INCLUDED in Afermath.

 

However, I asvise you to play on the XWIS servers, since it's LOADS more reliable and loads faster.

 

You won't find much regular players there though... better arrange meeting with someone if you go on XWIS.

 

To upgrade C&C to version 1.08, go to the old WW FTP server (where you can also find the latest WCHAT if you don't have it), go to the redalert/updates/ directory, download the patch and extract and run it in your RA directory.

Then, go to Start>Run and type "regedit"

 

In the Registry Editor, go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWestwoodRed Alert Windows 95 Edition

and change Version to 10008 (hexadecmal)

 

To go on the C&C1/RA1 XWIS server, download this tool.

Run the tool, press Set, close the tool, and next time you start WOL you're on the XWIS server.

(this is not the standard XWIS tool; I hex edited this one so it displays the IP of the C&C1/RA server instead of that of the TS/RA2 one)
