Original C&C files...
Hey DOTA staff! New to the game here, but I've been playing C&C for... well forever lol. I love what you've done with this mod and it seems to play flawlessly! Getting ready to download and try out some new maps, but I was wondering, is it possible to use original files from C&C and Red Alert to get the original missions to play through DOTA? I think it would be SO COOL if there was an "all-in-one" C&C, RA, TS application that could run all the original content released by Westwood Studios. Especially since each game has been released as freeware, I' surprised something like that doesn't exist already... or perhaps it does and I just haven't gone deep enough down the rabbit hole aka Google haha. I know there's probably a lot involved with copywrite and stuff like that, but I would gladly pay for something like that as it's a pain installing the ancient software on new computers and I' not too fond of the Tiberian Dawn 1.06c program. It just doesn't have the flair and complete feeling of the original. Anyways, great job so far! I look forward to watching this project progress even further than it already has QUICK_EDIT
The original TD/RA1 map files are simply incompatible with the files used by the Tiberian Sun engine (and as such DTA), so unfortunately it's not possible to just take them and play them in DTA. The terrain being 2D instead of 2.5D means that the map files are just different and the only real way to make the missions work in DTA is completely remaking the missions in DTA's FinalSun map editor. _________________ CnCNet Client | CnCNet TS patches | More Quality-of-Life Improvements for RA Remastered
