Red Dawn (RA-1)
« on: March 27, 2011, 06:07:18 am »
Current version of Red Dawn is Red Dawn 2012

Last updated 2-05-12

Red Dawn 2012 launches do to the loss of Red Dawn 2011 host. A number of changes were done for 2012. For Red Dawn 2012 you do not need to own any Red Alerts. Red Dawn 2012 is standalone.

Red Dawn 2012 is standalone do to the number of version of Red Alerts out make the old Red Dawn impractical. Also this will help when one day Red Dawn can be played on CnC Net.

I never wanted Red Dawn to be a standalone mod do the mass file size it would be. To make things ease Red Dawn 2012 is in 2 parts. You can download the “Red Dawn 2012 Installer” and play just fine IF you want the movies download the “Red Dawn 2012 Movie Installer”

Red Dawn 2012 like Red Dawn 2011 supports Single Player campaigns, Counterstrike and The Aftermath missions for 76 missions total. Also the 4 unlisted “Ant missions” plus 6 more after them.  Skirmish mode.

I hope all of you that have RA-1 still have fun with the mod as it was fun to make!

New Main Screen for 2012


Missions


GDI small


GDI large


GDI large 2


Nod small


Nod Large


System Requirements
Windows 95, 98 2000, Me, XP, Vista or 7. You may be able to get it to work on Linux with tweaks. I tested Red Dawn on Win 7 however if it is not working on Vista or 7 you can try ddraw.dll by Hifi http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc-ddraw/#download has download link and configuration.

Ooh, nice, you made a big release of this :)

Nyerguds help me with the hex editing so I could get the tiberium to work in the theaters. Nyerguds help me again with making the mod work with TFD user and the installer it self.
Tiberium? There's no hex editing involved with tiberium... it's just shp files.
[edit]
Wait, that was acknowledgement, and not a question? Please learn to use past tense. I edited your post to fix it -_-

Also for this mod to work you will need to have Nyerguds Red Alert 3.03 patch. To do this you can download it from the link below.
The 3.03 patch is NOT MINE. Westwood made it. All I did was make an installer for it.

Full release.

No quite, you were able to read the RA-1 error that was a palette loading code. I was geting it when I renamed temperat.mix to tempera!.mix but did not know I had to swich temperat.pal to tempera!.pal too. If you had not told me this there would be no tiberium at all.

Also you made "Red Alert: The Lost Files" had I never see it. I would have never know I could hex edit RA-1 to start with. "Red Alert: The Lost Files" was the key for me. With out it I'd still be scraching my head trying to make things work.

I was late when I posted this... :-(

The 3.03 patch is NOT MINE. Westwood made it. All I did was make an installer for it.

Ture but you have many of the other fixes in it. That make it stand out as it own patch to me.

Sould be good as theres around 10 years of on and off work in it. If you have saved game from 3.03 you can jump around and play a few of the mission as there all suported.

that first GDI mission remake needs a Destroyer though... the C&C1 gunboat is a missile ship :P

For the rest, the only thing that bothers me a bit is the bright green in the silos, while the tiberium on the crystals and in the refinery is yellow.

Oh, and the "Longbow" icon :P

Update the RA-1 gunboat with missles and the turret is from the Destroyer.

For the rest, the only thing that bothers me a bit is the bright green in the silos, while the tiberium on the crystals and in the refinery is yellow.

That one slipped by. :-/

Oh, and the "Longbow" icon :P

That happend because I was having one of those day were it was done coverting all the other and I was fine with "Longbow".

I'll have to rework all these thing. The icon souldn't be much, must do ingame name too but the Silo may be some of a pain.

Update pic attached.

Updated the silo in game image and icon. Changed "Longbow" icon to "Apache". Added helo blades to Orca icon so that matches in game Orca.

OS *XP,Vista or Win7* and what RA-1 do you have? *Free/Pay or TFD* Is it freezing ingame or at a the main game screen?

Is your RA-1 at 3.03? If your not sure. Start nomral RA-1 and it is listed under Exit Game at the main game screen. Like in the pic below.

The screenshots and details looks really good, will check it out as soon as I have time and give you some feedback!

FYI. If you want other hostingsites you could always try RapidShare, Oron.com or Fileserve. Would reccomend Oron as it has the cleanest layout and even free users can download files at high speed.
