It Came From Red Alert! Mod for C&C: Red Alert Yuris Revenge NPatch and Bugfixing news

It Came From Red Alert!

C&C: Red Alert Yuris Revenge mod | Released Oct 14, 2007

It Came From Red alert! is a mod that brings the original Red alert into Red alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. It requires Red alert 2: Yuri's Revenge V1.001. Beta Releases 1 and 2 do not require Rock Patch, Beta Release 2.5 requires Rock Patch 1.08SE to work correctly. Beta Release 3 requires NPatch Special Edition #0019 or newer. The mod was started on 25th November 2006 and was first publically announced on the 29th November 2006. Beta R1 was released on the 1st of December 2006 followed by BR2 on the 2nd of January 2007. Like BR2 before it work has immediately began on BR3, but some serious errors found in BR2 lead to an BR2.5 bugfixing release on the 7th of January. BR3 was released 14th October 2007. A BR4 (which may be called RC1 - Release Candidate 1) is in the works but won't be a huge update and may not appear for a little while. ICFRA! has had over 65000 downloads across its various releases.

I recently tried to make ICFRA compatible with NPatch, but I was getting internal errors before I'd even got the to main menu. However, VK responded very quickly to my bug report and released a new version which no longer causes these crashes. So today I managed to leave the C&C3 Mod SDK alone

I recently tried to make ICFRA compatible with NPatch, but I was getting internal errors before I'd even got the to main menu. However, VK responded very quickly to my bug report and released a new version which no longer causes these crashes.

So today I managed to leave the C&C3 Mod SDK alone long enough to make the current internal version of ICFRA fully compatible** with "NPatch Special Edition #0019".

Also worth noting is people are still posting bugs from R2.5 which is nice - in that it helps fix the mod and in that it shows people are still downloading/playing it.
A guest poster by the name of Matix pointed out that the Soviets didn't gain anything by capturing a Tech Airport if they had built an Airfield and vice-versa - so that's been fixed now.

** From one full skirmish game everything seems to work fine and I haven't had any crashes or errors at all yet.
