Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

I believe I now have tablet blue balls. If someone could simply post a step by step process from A to Z of how to get this thing up and running there is a good chance we wouldn't have 5 pages of trouble shooting. (IE step 1, do this, step 2, etc). I also think the stance of "well it works for me, F you" is antithetical to this community.

Guys :)
I really do not have enough strength and free time.
For all who want to install the game on vfat formatted mmcX.
Please install only binary package and then extract all data files from the bundle which is posted in the first post.
Please do not mix demo data files with original data files.
Try to run the game with demo data files. If the game works I will prepare a post "step by step how to install data files from your original cd".

BTW the links in the first post are turned ON again.

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

The walkthrough goes like this:

1. Install it to the rootfs or any non-vfat fs.
2. It runs.

or

1. Install it to rootfs.
2. Move /usr/share/games/freera/data to anywhere, create a symlink to it in its former place.
3. It runs.

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

So now you want to install data files from original CD - OK it will be easy.
1. /usr/share/games/freera/data/mix and delete all *.mix files.
2. copy from original cd to /usr/share/games/freera/data/mix all following files:
size name
309406 ALLIES.MIX
2177047 CONQUER.MIX
15179769 GENERAL.MIX
1456342 MAIN.MIX
25046328 REDALERT.MIX
1030861 SNOW.MIX
1038859 TEMPERAT.MIX

Make sure your MAIN.MIX size is 1456342 because there is XP patched versions of RedAlert with different data files and they won't work.

... try to run the game :)

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

Yep :)
I have a question :)
How can I cancel when I clic to construct units. Like right click in the original game. Because I just have the right one with the stilet :s

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

The game comes in 2 cd's allies/soviet and the main.mix file on both is 433 Mb would this work?

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

Ups :) I should change right click with something else maybe with double click.
Will post the link for the new version soon.

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

Are you sure?
Maybe you have RA 2 or newest version. Try them and post your results here.

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

Im pretty sure this is RA1, im going to give it a try, but it seems there is only a redalert.mix and main.mix.
