Using Ares
Subject description: A step by step manual
I recently downloaded Ares, it looks like a really great thing, I managed to install it into game directory and run it (that was pretty easy) and..
nothing.
But for an ingame text telling me that the version I'm running is also Ares, no changes have been made. Therefore I ask a humble question: could anyone, please make a step by step manual on what to do get more game mechanics and units to work? Are they already there, do I need to add some text to some files, or do I have to download something?
Based on what is in the manual and on the forum its the text version, so if yes, could that person prepare such a file so that new people could use it?
Ares is no mod, it only expands the modding possibilities. To actually add new things you have to mod the game yourself.
It's like you used Notepad, now got the program "Word" and expected a roman. The text and the formatting is still up to you.
ok, so where can I get mods that use ares possibilities? ie I want to play RA:YR with more units and game mechanics (most preferably Ares based ones) so what's the easiest way to do it? Last edited by Golob on Thu Nov 01, 2012 5:06 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
What did you do when this error occured? Loading a save game? That would not be supported at the moment. Otherwise, I've seen YR+Ares run on Windows 8 already, so it should work. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I did nothing except start to load it.
Here's what I did:
1. Install Yuri's Revenge
2. Downloaded CnC Rewire
3. Unpacked everything in the RA2 folder.
4. Ran the batch file, 'Syringe "gamemd.exe" '
5. And nothing happened.
I checked the log, there's a bunch of lines saying
HandleException: .... , just after the line Run: Entering debug loop.
Near the end, there is this:
[...]
Creating code hooks.
ACCESS VIOLATION at 0x006cF3CA
This process tried to read from 0xE9A8DCEC.
[...]
From there, I tried downloading a different version
of Ares, I recompiled syringe, but since I figured
they weren't the problem. I thought it was Win8,
I installed WinXP on a VM, installed Distro. C++2008, SP2 & SP3,
Yuri's Revenge, unpacked the same mod, and still
the log is exactly the same.
So it's probably something about my PC I guess? QUICK_EDIT
So I went on my parent's computer (which was running Vista), and I still got the same logs.
So it might be that I'm using it wrong, I don't know. QUICK_EDIT
Hm. Didn't notice this at first... the address does not point to a valid instruction. Did you patch YR to 1.001? Do you have a modified exe (like other binary mod patches)? _________________ QUICK_EDIT
