Jozef's Mods for RA Remastered - Alternative Faction Colours and Unit Voices

Changes the faction colours to those from Sudden Strike. The Soviets are a faded green and the Allies get the German faction colour. Also changes the Soviet Barracks sprite to keep its flag red.

Changes the faction colours to be more analogous to actual uniforms from both sides. The Soviets are now a tan colour, and the Allies get the East German Steingrau (gray; East German because the Allied general von Esling is, for whatever reason, wearing an East German uniform, so I'm treating East German style uniforms as canon for the German armed forces in RA). Also changes the Soviet Barracks sprite to keep its flag red.

The Soviet invasion has made the Europeans more unified than ever before. Even the arch enemies Germany and France are forced by circumstance to recognise the plain necessity of cooperation. The realisation has set in that, seperately, the peoples of Europe are picked off one by one by the Soviet onslaught; it is only through a common effort by the peoples of Europe that their homelands can be kept safe from the death and terror of war. This is why the general staffs of the European powers have come together in Luxembourg to found a common Allied defence force, forging a sword powerful enough to slay the red beast.

You, commander, have been selected to join the upper echelons of this European army, for which you shall receive your first mission from the Allied high command. Good luck, to you and to Europe.

This was my (possibly a bit cheesy) backstory to the fact that all Allied units wear the same uniforms and have the same colour tanks, where my previous mods acted from the assumption that the German military would be particularly important on the Allied side in this timeline (though of course you can simply ignore my vague backstories). In this mod, the Allies are a unified army stuck in pleasant bluish green, which I got from ThaneWulfgharn on Moddb and is based on a Greek armour camo. The Soviets have the same tan colour as in my Uniform Version.

Changes the English version unit voices of the Allies into those from the German, French and Spanish versions of Red Alert. Soldiers and vehicles have German and French voices, the medic is French, the Mechanic German and the Engineer Spanish. Einstein now also speaks German. Tanya and the Spy have been kept English.

I've added these as non-remastered voices, even though I've used remastered voice files, meaning you can easily switch between the remastered original (American English) voices and the European ones in the options. So to hear the European voices, you have to turn on classic voices in the options.

This mod can be combined with my other voice mod: the Motherland Calls.

Changes the English version unit voices of the Soviets into Russian ones from Blitzkrieg. This changes only the voices of units with seperate voice files (so engineers and technicians will still speak English). I've also edited the audio files to make them sound as much vanilla-like as possible.

I've added these as non-remastered voices, meaning you can easily switch between the remastered original (apparently Russian accented English) voices and the Russian ones in the options. So to hear the Russian voices, you have to turn on classic voices in the options.

This mod can be combined with my other voice mod: Voices of Europe (note that the engineer will speak Spanish for the Soviets as well - I'm not sure if this can be solved/compromised on, suggestions are welcome).

Replaces all English version unit voice files with those from the German version, except for the Russian accent ones, Tanya and the Spy. This to make it compatible out of the box with my Russian voice mod, the Motherland Calls, and because Tanya is American and the Spy English. If you want to have these replaced as well, I have included the German ones in C:\Users\~YOURNAME~\Documents\CnCRemastered \Mods\Red_Alert\JRAVMERF\Data\Audio\ADDITIONAL. Simply copy them over to EN-US in my mod. I've also included the EVA voice files in the ADDITIONAL folder. Note that I have added these as Remastered voice files, which they are. This is a change from my previous method, where I included them as classic ones, so you have to turn on remastered voices in the options to hear them.

This mod is meant to allow for a narrative where you are fighting as a German officer. Unlike my other voice mod, Allied Europe, here the Allies aren't a single army but more of a simple military alliance, and you are leading a German army in this alternative Second World War. As such, this mod goes well with the Uniform and Sudden Strike versions of my realistic faction colour mods, where the Allies wear gray uniforms (different shades in both mods).

Replaces all English version unit voice files with those from the French version, except for the Russian accent ones, Tanya and the Spy. This to make it compatible out of the box with my Russian voice mod, the Motherland Calls, and because Tanya is American and the Spy English.

Simply makes it so that you have silver units in the Funpark missions, as it was in the original game. The faction colour in Funpark is taken from the sixth multiplayer faction, so you will be able to play with silver in skirmish as well.

Naturally not compatible with other mods that change faction colours.

None of these mods use a dll file, meaning they should be compatible with any mod that doesn't change the same files: CNCRATEAMCOLORS.XML and the art files of the Soviet Barracks in the case of the faction colour mods, and the English unit voice files in the case of the unit voice mods.
