The construction yard is the brain bug of the AI base(s). Kill it and you will win. Engineer rushing enemy bases in TD is so entertaining.

Fallom posted:I hate this for making me realize how weird the perspective is in TD/RA Your brain wants to see it as something like 45 degrees but iirc it's really closer to 60 for buildings and 15 for infantry (and who knows what the gently caress is up with the GDI AGT). The later isometric games were really a dimetric orthogonal view, at 30 degrees. So it's jarring as hell to put them together.

I'm terrible at RTS games but I loved the poo poo out of these games back in college and remember beating both GDI and Nod campaigns. This time around I'm really struggling with some of the middle GDI missions. I'm on the one where you need to take out Nod turrets so that Carter can bring in his boats or guys or whatever and it's driving me nuts. I think the main thing that's different this time is that I'm just not as patient as I used to be and I don't spend enough time building up overwhelming forces. But then again it's also boring to build a zillion Grenadiers and just zerg everything. I really love everything about this remaster though. They thought of everything and did such a good job updating the graphics and cutscenes and music. I just wish buildings had rally points. I saw the mod that adds that but I don't want the troop xp/levels thing. Are there any mods that only add rally points? Because that's literally my only gripe right now.

I think mod support could use some fine-tuning so you aren't limited mainly to which single monolithic mod you want to use, but other than that I'm ready to pre-order the dang RA2/TS Remaster.

I was surprised by how much I liked the new graphics. They nailed the feeling of “this is how I remember the game with rose tinted glasses.” Jumping back to the old graphics doesn’t feel nostalgic, it just feels bad.

The rose-tinted glasses are why they gotta have the old graphics mode in. Just to prove they did in fact change the graphics. For some reason I'm used to thinking spacebar should center the map on wherever the last announced event occurred. Is there a key for that?

I have the same reflex. Dunno if there's a rebind, but some other game got me in the habit of panning the camera with WASD so I had to rebind that.

The CFE patch should do what you want with minimal other changes (they're configurable in an INI file) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2121899275 The only issue is the author is no longer working on it so if a new patch comes out that breaks mods this might no longer work (unless someone else forks it) Edit: Are there any rumors of a TS/RA2 remaster? I'd certainly get it but if all we get is this one I'm happy enough. It's just that wasn't this remaster triggered by finding the behind-the-scenes tapes? And even then this was still years of work making me think that this was a one-off and not part of a plan to remaster everything. nexus6 fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Jul 13, 2020 |

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:Also I've posted this in other threads but IMO an acceptable alternate reading of Tiberian Dawn is that it is basically an unlicensed GI-JOE game, with NOD as COBRA. I always figured the first game was Tom Clancy novels (he kinda disappeared from the cultural zeitgeist quickly, didn't he?). Then Renegade went full Saturday morning cartoons with red and black Nod tanks, but TD itself made a token effort to base the low and mid-tier units on real-world designs. Well okay before the invisible tanks and the giant two-barrelled tanks show up. Always wanted a mammoth tank model.

I'll fiddle with it after I beat this mission. EDIT: OK I am apparently the dumbest person because I cannot figure out how to build helipads on this mission. I've built every building I can build and none of them let me build helipads or copters. EDIT2: I figured it out. You take out some turrets and get a heli as a reinforcement. I didn't do that early because I didn't want the boats getting obliterated. I just built a 2nd harvester, a shitload of tanks, and zerged with them from the upper path. Lazy but effective.

nexus6 that's cool, I'd like to try the veterancy mod and disable almost everything but A* pathfinding. But I'm confused about how this modding is meant to be done. A. Subscribing to mods through the steam workshop on the website when signed into steam never results in their showing up on my mods list in-game B. Can't download the mod directly from the steam workshop. C. I've used the site that archives the steam workshop to download files manually and replace them and it's worked once or twice. Is this the intended solution for the Veterancy mod? D. Veterancy mod doesn't exist in the in-game workshop. E. Even after I've downloaded mods through the in-game workshop, their files never appear anywhere I can modify. I can't modify by hand files that apparently don't exist locally. The mod folder in Documents is always empty even when I'm running mods. F. Veterancy is a DLL mod, apparently there can only be one. Are you supposed to do DLL mods through the steam or in-game workshop at all?

I've had a weird issue where if I go to my mods list it will appear blank, then after a few seconds it will list them. It also blanks out all the checkboxes too so I have to be quick to enable it and save. For me the process has been:
When it gets updated you shouldn't need to do anything. I leave the mods screen alone as every time I open it it disables all my mods. To change settings it should put a INI text file in My documents > CnCRemastered > Mods > Veterancy folder

That happens to me all the time. Like whenever I go into the Mods section of the game, the list of mods goes blank every few seconds. If I try and switch on another mod, there is a good chance all of them get switched off. So if I want to put on mods I have to click them as fast as possible and hit Apply Mods before it goes blank. I'd love to know why it does that.

Beta patch with LAN play is out. This should also let you use VPN software to play against people while using mods. quote:Today we are inviting you to try a Beta version of our in-development patch, which most importantly includes an early version of LAN Play. Our goal in sharing this Beta version is to get your feedback on LAN Play and ensure this feature is living up to your expectations. We’re looking for both qualitative and technical feedback on the feature, especially with regards to playing multiplayer LAN games with Mods enabled (either locally or over VPN). We reinforce this is an early version, and certain elements (including AI) may not work correctly in LAN play just yet. https://old.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/hrrh2y/remaster_update_and_july_beta_patch/

Any good strats for Nod 8 (either)? These are infuriating and I don't remember how I beat them back in the day. I looked at some speedrun strats but I'm not sure if I have the dexterity to copy them. I can eventually stabilize and keep the enemy contained but then the Tiberium is mostly gone and then I have to just sit there and wait for enough of it to grow back so I can build up enough stuff to breach the GDI base.

Reddit user u/krnyoshi has made two excellent single player missions, they're both very challenging and carefully set up, hopefully we get a community making more maps like these. Unpadded Landing (GDI mission with full tech tree, lots of tiberium and a well-defended Nod-base to fight your way into): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2162002569 Thunder Mountain (Nod map where you have to find the right strat to even stand a chance): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2176820130%C2%A0%C2%A0
