Will do Thanks for your work in this project man

@Lexile, you should be using version 1.9 test build 9 from github. I'm waaaay behind on updating Steam. Waaaaaay behind.

@ Duckle up duckeroo, the vanilla AI for vehicles will target+shoot walls it doesn't own to clear a path, and the vanilla AI generally will accidentally shoot walls while targeting something else. The AI_VS_WALLS feature adds some additional situations in which the AI will target+shoot walls. (Infantry to clear a path, everything to unblock a target, everything if there are no better targets in range.)

@ Nyerguds, I think I need to incorporate that fix. You might consider changing the condition for the "Always prefer leader as fallback" stanza to (isleader || !foundLeader) in order to match the vanilla behavior in the "all busy, no leader" case preferring the last helipad.

Are you sure about that it seems like the steam page is still 1.8

"I finally deleted my temporary CFE PRP TD mod because, apparently, the newest stable version of CFE Patch Redux is the latest test build, and it is indeed a big improvement to version 1.8.

Thanks to Chthon for doing this amazing work."

Ai will break walls regardless of the INI settings with test build 9. (most recent)

Hm, did you ever fix aircraft spawning not looking for available pads? I just added that, but I don't see it in your feature list.

I finally deleted my temporary CFE PRP TD mod because, apparently, the newest stable version of CFE Patch Redux is the latest test build, and it is indeed a big improvement to version 1.8.

Thanks to Chthon for doing this amazing work.

Do you have multiple mods enabled? Because the remaster doesn't really support that except if they just change some assets like graphics or sounds.

And for some reason i cant place down buildings with this enabled?

Wall connection not working for me

Best Mod!

Thanks WakizashiM! I did see the news. However, like Nyerguds said, there's nothing new in that we both need and don't already have.

@ WakizashiM not sure why that would matter. The only thing in there that isn't already in the remaster code is the code for paying audio and video, which the remaster doesn't use, and a bunch of toolsets for creating the classic files, which the community already reverse engineered.

Hi Chthon,
Have you seen the news?

https://www.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/1izmpmb/cc_steam_workshop_support_source_code/

The full source code for C&C and RA1 have been released! Do you think that that might make it easier for you to do what you want to do with this mod?

@RoseHime: Use the latest test build on github.

Hi Chthon, can you take a look to see if you resolve an issue cause by this mod.
The AI will not build or rebuild their base if this mod is enabled.

I got it to work. Thanks for the reply.

@Narxes081206: Do you mean rally points for buildings, or movement queue for units? To set rally points, select the production structure, then click on the ground somewhere. For movement queue input, read the wiki page [github.com]. TD input is NOT on the Q button like RA due to GlyphX limitations. (Also, use the latest test build from github. I scrapped the RA implementation and completely rewrote it in the test build.)

The mod isn't letting me set waypoints. This is the only mod I have installed and active.

Regarding Turkey, I think I will try the following change as the default: Grant a build speed bonus as if you had 1.1x as many factories beyond the first one. E.g., if you have 2 factories, treat it as 2.1; or if you have 3 factories, treat it as 3.2. So you still get a build speed bonus, but it's not as big and it's not available as early.

Yes, it works fine with the recent patch. Do you have any other mods active? It's not enforced by the UI, but there is a 1-mod limit in practice. Trying to use multiple mods at once leads to problems.

Also, it shouldn't matter for compatibility, but use the test build off github rather than steam workshop.

I'm on v1.153

@Chton I have the mod enabled. It worked briefly, on a single map. But now I'm on a Nod mission and with the mod enabled, not only can I not do rally points, but I can't place any buildings -- the footprint is cut in half horizontally, and nothing can build.

Is this mod compatabile with the latest version of the game?

Chthon: Not really a multiplayer guy, so I have no idea about viable alternatives, sorry.

@ Stealth Rabbi: Did you forget to enable the mod via the in-game mod menu? Do you have any other mods active?

I'm on Win11. I installed this mod and enabled. Nothing seems to be function. I can't set waypoints from unit buildings, and I can't do attack move. I tried with class and modern mouse controls as well. This is in Tiberium Dawn.

Hey Chthon,
Thank you for still giving this game some of your free time. I'm super glad that you are still working on this, as your patches are essential for my enjoyment of the games.

Take your time and take care!

Hmmm... Could it be balanced at some lesser value, like say 5%, or maybe when paired with a penalty like 10% increased cost, or is faster build just inherently imbalanced? Assuming the latter, any ideas for a replacement bonus?

Turkey's bonus was broken originally, and I believe in the original game, it wasn't a selectable multiplayer faction, so the bug went unnoticed. But when they fixed it, indeed, it turned out to be overpowered to the point there was no point in playing any other country. So that's why they reverted it.

I suppose if I ever get RA caught up, I'll add a toggle for Turkey's build speed. Any idea what the rationale for the change was? Was Turkey overpowered with it?

Turkey's build speed is indeed the change. It was disabled in 2021 in a server-only patch, and this change is now propagated to the actual client.

Ahhh. My bad. I forgot to turn the mod on in the options menu...
Sorry, it´s been a while. :-D

Works fine on my end now.

On a different note, you all may have noticed I've been MIA for quite awhile. Long story short, my PC abruptly died, I still haven't finished migrating everything from backup to a new PC, I had trouble getting C&C to run at all on my new PC (which I just finally devised a workaround for today), and I've been sidetracked by another project that was supposed to take a couple days, but has blown up into a multi-month thing.

As best I can tell, the current mod binaries still work.

I did a diff of the source code in the game folder, vs the source code on github, vs the source code in the game folder in a backup from several months ago. There are only 3 changes:
1. Different line breaks on github (*nix style) vs game folder (windows style)
2. A number of comments referencing line numbers in a particular file are off by one.
3. Turkey's build speed modifier is disabled via #if (0) with a comment dated 1/18/2021 in RA's techno.cpp in the current game folder source code, but enabled in the github source and the old backup game folder source.

I suspect this might be a version control error at Petroglyph/EA, since the comment accompanying the only substantive change is dated almost 4 years ago.

I'd welcome any insights into whether this change is desirable.

Not sure anything changed for TD, actually.

btw, Chthon, note that the source code was apparently not updated on GitHub. But the version included in the game folder is correct.

Any plans to update these mods so they work with the recent patch?

You know, that GDI9 Fix should really be that the player loses when they fail the south objective, not that the AI surrenders when only these turrets are left. That's kind of twisting the intent of the mission.
Could do something like the Chan trigger; if the mission is 9 and the campaign is GDI, add an "xxxx = Destroyed,Lose,...,1" trigger that automatically gets linked to units unloaded from a reinforced chinook. Though then you'd also have to somehow make the turret destruction execute both the chinook reinforce and the "dstry trig 'XXXX'" I guess.

Test build 9 for v1.9 is up. Download link and discussion is over here .

They do not. Mods that replace the dll are not compatible with each other.

Will do, thanks. Would you happen to know if one of the AI overhauls works with this mod?

Please try the test build from github. Alot of bugs have been squashed since the last steam release. (Also, there will probably be a new test build in a few days.)

Using only this mod, current steam build (from this page).

@Swanky, are you using the latest test build? Do you have any other mods enabled?

It's a great mod with a number of neat little QoL improvements, and I personally like the updates such as rally point and mammoth targetting updates, and veterancy.
Unfortunately, ever since I've been using this I have also experienced a number of crashes both on my beefy desktop (7700series amd board & 4070ti) as well as my sub-requirement laptop (i3... integrated graphics :D). I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the issue, so as of now seemingly happens at random... sorry I can't be more specific here. Currently playing exclusively in skirmish, and happened in both 1v1 and team games.

Thank you very much for your response.

I will have a look at it and perhaps get back to you.


I REALLY appreciate you replying and helping!
That is definitely not something I take for granted!

Have a great week!

@ghmd: That's what the git commit history is for. I *think* commits ad3859f, d2d6018, c591b0f, da3a781, 1d22980, 6eec19b, d515fff, f46a7ab, d2edf47, and 25a7721 should cover it. I think... To be on the safe side, clone the whole repo and do a case insensitive search for "megamap" and "8 players." I comment reasonably well, so that should hopefully pick up anything I overlooked here.

I am currently working on tweaking my TD using the New Construction Options mod, so that I have a Rules.ini available.

Is there any way to solely include the support of megamaps from CFE Patch Redux into that?

In other words: What exactly makes megamaps work?

I would like to implement it into my configuration.

Version 1.9 Test Build 8 is available. Discussion thread and download link here .

@ Afevis Solmunko: I believe you're mistaken. The RA skirmish logic is gated behind GameToPlay != GAME_NORMAL, so it only applies to multiplayer. Single-player still uses the original TD logic. The hard difficulty check is dead code, since it only applies in multiplayer, but I don't believe there's any way to set an AI house to anything other than normal in multiplayer. (Also, TD never had functional skirmish AI, so we can't really say the RA behavior is "right" or "wrong" relative to something that never existed.)

Mods that contain code changes can never work together. They both replace the core game engine. You can only have one replacement.

Seems like it was a compatibility issue between this and a Tiberium Growth Rate mod. Fairly certain they used to work together though. Anyone know how to tweak that?
