Here's the official Ares 0.D, which adds some big features like support to change mouse cursors, mechanics and ambulance vehicles, or to make the AI build more than one building of a type. Ivan death bombs are now included, after being cut from the original game, and multiplayer matches can now start with a deployed Construction Yard instead of an MCV.

There are many more minor features like Temporal weapons considering the victim's health, customizable fall rates, digging animations and so on. I think it goes without saying now that several bugs have been fixed also, and many old pieces of code have been modernized and previous features have been reworked.

Thanks once more to all testers involved!

Happy Modding, and see you very soon!

I appreciate the effort you put into Ares. Smile

I assume this doesn't include the AI paradrop/paradrop plane bug fix...

Well, still thanks for this and hoping for more features on the next release.

FINALLY!!! The patience was worth it Smile

Is the 0.D docs complete and explains EVERY TAG that Ares uses?
Then, great job! The C&C Community will get farther with this one!

Still, what is the reason why Save Games can't be implemented? Too long codes? Or is it just completely impossible? Confused

Something along the lines of how all the new stuff Ares makes possible is done by injecting the code prior to a game is created. When you load a save file the injected code isn't possible to inject. That or I think it was something along the lines that you would need to test every new feature if it would break the save/load on every new release.

Well, then I guess we'll all have to wait until the final FINAL last release of Ares... (9.Z)

Thank you very much AlexB. The progress you've made over the years is incredible, and is much appreciated!

I know it's a big official release you've been working hard on and all, so I genuinely HATE to be that guy to point this out, but I did notice one minor bug from 0.D that wasn't present in the test versions. I don't know if you changed/removed the coding at all (it doesn't appear so from the documentation), but AIBuildCounts is no longer working. I reverted back to 0.D RD2 and it worked (just to make sure I hadn't done anything wrong). Again, sorry about that.

Thank you for continuing to spend so much time and effort into this project, I know how hard it is just to implement everything without breaking everything else in something as low-level as ASM and it's very appreciated, as it has always been even if only silently.

Can't really be helped since there's always been a wide canyon between # of testers vs # of new functions. #Tongue

It's bit different this time since it's apparently a bug introduced in the stable release, thus there's no way testers could have found it before it was released. Unfortunate but such things happen.

I can confirm the report as well, though.

I predict that it will support 3D models and delivers a renewed game engine for RA2. Might even support Super Weapons operating on units. What's more hyped, more than 2 weapons on a unit! Gattling logic also works with Infantry. Prism Support units!

I can only imagine madness.  Crowded

Thanks, and don't worry. It's not your fault. Also, I wouldn't call it minor bug, if one of he biggest selling points just doesn't work. At all. Good that Ares isn't sold. I would even say this is big enough to warrant a patch immediately. Oh hey, and it's already available. Wink

Just wait a bit. I still have to do some code management, but it won't be that long.

OK, I actually did think it was a pretty big deal, since it's a huge feature in my mod, but I didn't want to have that attitude seeing how much good has come from all the time and effort you've put into Ares haha. Thank you very much for the fix Very Happy

It's okay Alex, take your time. I'm not requesting any of these functions.  Razz  But I do request fixing the black screen and alt+tab bug for Yuri's Revenge of Windows 10, if that is possible. You already did great work for the modders of YR and PPM.

I'm 90% sure that's a DirectDraw problem, something too old for Windows 8 - 10 and has to be emulated.

AI counts work again with 0.Dp1.

Did you try giving high ROT values for your planes like 5 or 6. It may not
look good but if the problem doesn't occur, we would know the reason.

Right now SW.NegBuildings ignores DontScore Buildings. One of my features broke.

DontScore and/or Insignificant buildings are neither traced nor counted by the game. They cannot reliably be used for prerequisites, AuxBuilding, and so on. This includes SW.NegBuildings. Sorry, it's by design.

Then what's the different between the two...
Can I request a DontScoreButSignificant tag which makes a building constitute a zero on the score board?
ATM there's no way to hide aux invisible superweapon buildings completely from the players...
