A free unofficial expansion pack for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge, which retells, expands and continues the story of the original game. Enhanced with Ares DLL, Mental Omega strives to bring many new features to the game, including a 133-mission campaign, cooperative and a brand new faction: the Foehn Revolt.
Here's a preview of new mission loading screens.
This one's for Allied Act One Mission 1: Red Dawn Rising
We won't be including unit cameos on these, because in 3.0 all cameos are PCX files which use their color palettes to the maximum and they'd make the loading screens look bad (they're limited to 256 colors).
Designed by tomsons26 and Nooze.
It's these small details that often make the biggest difference! Good job.
You guys did an excellent job recreating the RA2 loading screen.
I still wish that the old loading music of Red Alert 2 or MO 2.0 would be back in 3.0 cause the one 3.0 uses sounds tooo much...odd
In the future each side will have its own loading music and even certain missions will have their unique loading tunes.
OH YEAH!..xD
Does ARES not make loading screens able to use PCX as well? If not, that should definitely be on their list...
Perhaps including screenshots of the units would work.
Looking good. Good work guys.
It's good, but I did kind of like Red Alert 2's political map that was used in the background. You could see how the war progressed outside of the main campaign. Of course it was sadly changed in Yuri's Revenge.
Yuri's Revenge had hardly any political changes mentioned in its campaign. While Mental Omega 3.0 does a lot of that, we're not including this information on loading screens because noone would want to keep track of them on all 72+ images that you see for few seconds before the mission starts.
This is nice idea but i hope that sound you are using for informing before loading screen is feamale.
Aww it is a shame that you wont be adding the the political aspect to the loading screens - though I understand your reasons, it still adds something to the game that you can see the changes in front of you
Why all the map is blue?How the heck are soviets invanding when they have no country? :D
