Red Alert 1 Modding Questions

DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr · Posted: Tue May 16, 2006 2:10 pm Post subject: Red Alert 1 Modding Questions

Two questions (For RA1(Not Aftermath)):

1. I'm replacing the RA1 units with TD units. I got the graphics converted and shit, but I can't change the ingame names. I tried the Name= tag, but it didn't do anything. So does anyone know how to change the ingame unit's names?

2. Is it possible to replace either the Chronosphere or Iron Curtain superweapon with the Ion Cannon superweapon (TD)? I have the fireing animation or whatever, I just need to know how to get it ingame. Or is it not possible?

There's already a mod for RA where all TD stuff goes in it, Margera's rules or something weird. Was a while ago since I played it, all I know is its RA to TD.

If you can find the mod download it and look at it, as I think it had changed names.

@Carnotarus: I've already checked out their files. Nothing so far, 'cept for a mod that has similar goals to what I have. But it's incomplete. Good for reference, though.

@Morpher: I've got a mod exactly like that, and I checked out what they did, and they used the name= tag. I think that tag was useable in Counterstrike and Aftermath, but, I don't have Counterstrike, nor Aftermath, so maybe that's why it ain't working. Maybe there's a patch (Official or unofficial) that I can download?

Oh, and I want to replace the Ion Cannon with either the Chronosphere or Iron Curtian, as I still want the Nuke (For Nod).

conquer.eng contains all names. It has to be edited with a string editor program though.

I see. Anyone know if there's a RA1 string editor? Does XCC have one?

I the Sting Editor. Its better to use this than the Name= tag becaus that tag easily makes the game crash for me while renaming the units in conquer.eng does not. Here is the String Editor for C&C1 & RA1!
