Almost reactivated Original RA2 Campaigns in YR Mod
Subject description: A little advice on a small issue?
Greetings everyone,
I'm pleased to say that after releasing the 2nd version of my mod (New Horizons) I'm well on the way to implementing the RA2 campaigns. I already got the YR campaigns fully functional, but I'm now working on adding the RA2 ones, which I've nearly completed doing, after fixing a few of the original missions.
I've managed to test all original RA2 Soviet campaign missions, and noticed a couple of peculiarities:
1. After completing Soviet Mission 11 (Red Revolution), the movie that plays is the Endgame movie (ignoring Mission 12, the last mission!). How can I specify/check what the next mission is set as?
2. The movie that Does play, is the endgame movie for the Allied victory! How do I specify/check which one to play (and can someone tell me which file is the endgame movie for the Soviets?)
Interestingly, I can select from the campaign menu to manually pick any mission (inlcluding mission 12), and mission 12 Does work, but when I complete it, it still plays the Allied victory movie.
Once I get round this obstacle, all I need to do is test the Allied campaign, and re-test the YR campaigns, then All 4 original campaigns (with cutscenes) campaigns will be working!
Interesting. Since YR is based on Allied victory of Ra2, really the soviet missions don't have any "Next mission"
cxtian, your comment made no sense to me. Did you read the O.P.? There is an ending cutscene at the end of both the Allied and Soviet campaigns, and one problem I have is what should be the Soviet cutscene, isn't, as the Allied one displays. Just look the cutscenes up. The other issue like I said is Soviet mission 12 being skipped after completing mission 11. Essentially I can only do 12 if I choose it at the campaign/mission selection menu. QUICK_EDIT

There's a pack to do the conversion somewhere on here, I had to change it too, I think it's in one of the .ini files, and you need to edit the endmovie file too.
Long and short, compare the [BASIC] section and see what's different. missionmd.ini might help too. I fixed this, and I genuinely forget how, so yeah, go digging and comparing. _________________ MIdAS - Turning wages into beer since 2002 QUICK_EDIT

I been doing a Lot of digging unfortunately, one thing that's puzzling me is where the missions state next scenario as= it's not the next map (on all missions, even the originals), even though the correct order is still being played with the exception of the last soviet mission (and cutscene).
I'm going to look into maybe seeing if the map triggers somehow affect the mission/movie played after that map, and compare [BASIC] as you said when I get a chance, but otherwise I'm clutching on straws trying to figure out what's causing 1 mission to be skipped, and play the wrong cutscene. QUICK_EDIT
Yea FA2 shows a field for next scenario, but I don't recall precisely how those are referenced, I think the game can choose an alternate path?
Hi G-E, late response from me I know, but the issue is still open. I have noticed this next scenario field (as well as altscenario), and it's a weird one as All the campaign maps list scenarios which are completely Not in order, and yet the campaign seems to ignore this and mostly proceed with the correct order.
At the moment it literally is just the last mission of the original RA2 Soviet campaign that gets skipped, and I'm struggling to work out how this is as everything else seems to be in order... QUICK_EDIT
I upload here the campaign progression files, at least these are the ones I can think of that are relevant? I've tried comparing them to the originals and as far as I can tell, it shouldn't want to skip Soviet mission 12, after completing 11... Besides that both original RA2 campaigns (after some editing) now work fine in YR.
