C&C: Red Alert History

C&C3: Tiberium Wars mod |

Command & Conquer Red Alert History is a small mod that adds a few new units. The idea came about because I wondered what a few Red Alert units would look like and perform inside the Tiberium wars engine. I consider this mod a 'museum', wherein I add a few historical pieces that I like into the C&C3; engine! The Mod will be updated by adding a few units at a time (typically around 10 items). The mod is a mixture of mostly EA & public models, as well as a few original models done by me. Check the forums & articles for detailed information and for in-depth discussion.

here is all methods to speed up the game or prevent build superweapons building , but still speical powers is a problems and they are so strong and cant find script to disable some super powers

1- for speed up the game ( i do not recommanded this method the game will be super fast and bad experiance

download Wagnerma.de

and by this software open misc file from redhistory files and select gamedata.ini press control+F for search and type FPS you will find this line


UseFPSLimit = Yes

change it to NO

by the way changing the second line not effected it may effected if you limit your fps from nvidia control panel

in the end make sure you backup your miscfile and make another copy for open fps and include it into your config.txt file or .skudef if you run the mod from documents

======================================================================

second method to speed up the game i recommanded it for multiplayer its not a speed up its just for speed x2 build time only by

open same file

GameData.ini

and replace these lines if you want make it slower build time , just change handicap option from game menu while you select map

  ;;; START MULTIPLAYER TUNING FACTORS ;;;
  ;;;								1player		2player		3player		4player		5player		6player		7player		8player

  ;; More is more. 1.0 is default. 1.5 is 50% more.
  MultiPlayMoneyMult =						MP1:2.0		MP2:2.0		MP3:2.0		MP4:2.0		MP5:2.0		MP6:2.0		MP7:2.0		MP8:2.0
  MultiPlayUnitXPMult =						MP1:2.0		MP2:2.0		MP3:2.0		MP4:2.0		MP5:2.0		MP6:2.0		MP7:2.0		MP8:2.0
  MultiPlayBuildingXPMult =				MP1:1.0		MP2:1.0		MP3:1.0		MP4:1.0		MP5:1.0		MP6:1.0		MP7:1.0		MP8:1.0
  
  ;; Less is faster. 1.0 is default speed. 0.5 is half the build time
  MultiPlayUnitSpeedMult =				MP1:0.5		MP2:0.5		MP3:0.5		MP4:0.5		MP5:0.5		MP6:0.5		MP7:0.5		MP8:0.5
  MultiPlayBuildingSpeedMult =		MP1:0.4		MP2:0.4		MP3:0.4		MP4:0.4		MP5:0.4		MP6:0.4		MP7:0.4		MP8:0.4
  
  ;;; END MULTIPLAYER TUNING FACTORS ;;;

=========================================================================================

third method

open misc file

data\scripts\scripts.lua

and add this line you can change the vlaue 2.9 for more or less,anyway there a problem in this method , the AI repair buildings fast so you cant destroy AI buildings i dont know how to fix this issue as i said all speedup option caused issue but speed x2 build the best

===============================================

the only way to add more features to this mod by get source codes mods or edit your maps and edit your override.xml into your map

the simple edit for redhistory mod is as some features as started units example openpowerstore to open new stuff as speical powes abilities panel for

PlayerTemplate.ini into misc file

GDIPowerStore

NODPowerStore

ALIENPowerStore

check here for other started units

Moddb.com


in the end to fix out of sync or crash to desktop issue while play LAN or online or load save game or want enhanced graphics map or add KW game maps you need

to add Tactus mod into your redhistory mod by only add it to your .skudef file like this

add-big RedHistory_8.04_Streams.big
add-big RedHistory_8.04_Misc.big
add-big TacitusA_0.58_Misc.big
add-big TacitusA_0.58_Streams.big

also you can add more mods into redhistory before these lines like powerstore , started units , more colors or new units into your custom maps folder overrides.xml
