[Need Help] Reign of Steel and Final Aler 2 v1.02

warlock · Last edited by warlock on Sun Jan 26, 2020 12:28 am; edited 1 time in total

So I still enjoy play Reign of Steel mod, but I like even more making maps for it, at least I used to... Today I installed RoS again in my RA2YR, to play a few matches then I had a urge to create some maps for it with the terrain available. and a few bonuses added by me. But theres a issue, the terrain does not show on FinalAlert2 but I remember making maps in the past for RoS... Is this normal, there is a way to fix it? Please lend me a possible solution. Thanks in advance! Smile

Can you narrow down the issue?
Are the theater inis not read or the actual terrain TMPs?

Well yes, the .ini files are present, terrain in the .mix file, but looks like this on FinalAlert. I don't know how to explain it better... But the picture might help... Sorry for the size...

FA2 expects some content in ecache* and some modified INI files loose in the game folder.

Right... I'll try to extract the .ini files...

EDIT: Well not working, pure blackness...

Try running it in administrator mode, I've had that problem in the past and that fixed it for me.

It actually did work, I managed it, but uses the normal terrain from RA2, but when I play ingame the map looks like the ones from Reign of Steel, just a few palette problems.

Filenames, FA2 won't load terrain from expandXX.mix and won't load anything from elocalXX.mix -- perhaps it was packaged for a time when (like me) people used Win98 compatibility and administrator mode.
