Guide to Adding Rules.ini to Red Alert
--------------------------------------- Written by Summoner Here is guide wich will shows how to add the "Rules.ini" file for Red Alert Remastered. -=Adding Guide (How to)=- What Is Rules.ini It's a file that allows you edit various game parameters in Red Alert. Step 1 Visit the Ultimate Red Alert Archive and download the Rules.ini file. Step 2 Extract the Rules.ini file and place in the CnCRemastered folder (to find the folder right click the game in your library and go to "Manage" and "Browse local files"). Step 3 In order for any of the changes to work just restart Red Alert. Here's a Ranger shooting fireballs. Enjoy! -=Additional Information=- It's also possible to find the Rules.ini file in the Remastered installation folder. If you'd like to do that you can do these steps: Visit C&C Communications Centre, download and install the XCC Utilities. Find the newly installed program "Mixer" in the "XCC" Startup folder and after opening it go to: /CnCRemastered/Data/CNCDATA/ RED_ALERT/CD1/REDALERT.MIX/local.mix/rules.ini Just right click and extract it, then place it at CnCRemastered as per initial example. And one last note, Rules.ini only works with Red Alert so no Tiberian Dawn. If you poke into the original's files with XCC you'll find a Rules.ini but with a message explaining this.↑ Top

How to switch between the Original and Remastered Graphics
----------------------------------------------------------- Press the Spacebar key on your keyboard during any singleplayer campaign mission (and probably in solo Skirmish matches as well) to see the graphics switch in real-time from the remastered new 4K graphics back to the classic 1995 & 1996 graphics of the originals. You can play whichever way you prefer. Toggle the graphics from old to new and back by pressing the Spacebar key again and again. It’s great for whenever you’ve had enough of the redone high-res 1440p 4K graphics and are feeling nostalgic for that 1990’s retro 320×200 resolution! -=Red Alert Remastered Cheats=- Regenerate Ore Every Mission In the singleplayer campaign, whenever you find yourself running out of ore, save the game and then reload it. The ore will have fully respawned and you’ll have as much to delve for cash as you had at the start of the mission. -=How to Unlock the Hidden singleplayer Ant Missions=- While you’re on Red Alert’s Main Menu, move your mouse to hover over the top-right side of the Main Menu where you see a speaker in the background. Next, hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard and at the same time left-click with your mouse on the speaker to immediately access the secret Ant Missions. Next time you play Red Alert, you can access it more easily from the Main Menu, by going to Mission Select, selecting the Ant Logo tab, and then you can choose what mission from the “IT CAME FROM! Ant Campaign” you want to play!↑ Top
Nuke Silo Selling Glitch To Gain Free Gold & Infantry
------------------------------------------------------ How to get free money and infantry units: 1: When you play as the Soviet or Allies, build a Tech Center to get access to advanced building like the Missile Silo that sends out an Atom Bomb. Now wait for your Nuclear Bomb to get READY by switching the right-side building menu to the Superweapons Tab. 2: Then the Game Speed can be adjusted from the Options menu by pausing the game with the Esc key and selecting Options and then setting the Game Speed to its slowest (move the slider all the way to the left). 3: Once done, go back to resume the game and put the Missile Silo and the mini- map side-by-side on your screen, so you have to move your mouse as little as possible in the next steps. 4: Press the SHIFT & S keys at the same time to more quickly go in & out of selling mode, or you can find the selling $-button for it in the right-side building menu (use whichever is easier for you). Now you are ready to use the Nuke Silo Selling Glitch. 5: With the Atom Bomb ready, sell your Missile Silo, exit selling mode, and immediately select & fire the Atom Bomb at your enemy via the mini-map (since time is of the essence). Because you fired an Atom Bomb after selling, the Missile Silo sale will automatically be CANCELLED! But it will still partially sell… giving you part of its selling price and 5 random infantry units for free, while still firing a Nuke!↑ Top
Useful Tips and Tricks (Tiberian Dawn)
--------------------------------------- Written by renticule -=Some Basics=- You will lose. A lot. Do not worry about winning. Your first victories will be accidental through exploiting your enemy's mistakes and learning what to do in certain engagements. Use the Guard, Force-Move, and Force-Fire options (CTRL and, ALT, CTRL+ALT respectively); You can make even more effective use of certain units this way. Also armored vehicles can run over enemy infantry with a satisfying splatter. A massive part of learning to play RTS games is observation and experimentation. Watch those replays. Keep an eye on your harvesters; as well as your enemy's. Attack theirs whenever possible. Harrassment and choking your enemy's resources is key. Know what building to attack and when. Scout early; scout often.- but make sure to thwart the intel-gathering of your enemy, Get a radar up. Knowing what your enemy is about to throw at you is crucial to forming a counter; for that reason it is often more intuitive to throw up unit production; then refineries; unless going for the vehicles first, in which case a Refinery is required. Building multiple production structures (mcvs and maybe temples/adv comms included) decreases buildtime. Sometimes it is wise to selectively remove units from a composition of the enemy rather than let your units auto-target; Additionally, it can also be very wise to spread out the damage to the enemy units to cripple them. Nod is the more advanced playstyle faction and trickier to play. Micro is required in many engagements to be efficient for BOTH factions- however unlike Starcraft and a bit more similar to Total Annihilation; C&C is more about the Macro than the Micro; If you see a unit fire; move, fire, move, they're likely being micro'd. Some units can fire on the move; others cannot. Almost every weapon in the game has some sort of delay- Imagine, then, that you are not an individual in an FPS- but commanding those individuals- You want them to dodge those tank shells, don't you? They can! The Flame Tank is nod's Strongest tank- in terms of durability. It has the most health and armor. It is however quite slow.- but it's weaponry melts most light vehicles and infantry with ease; The mere sight of one of these things can often be enough to make your enemy quit- even if they have more units than you and could wipe you out. If you've fought an opponent before; try to remember what they liked to do and if they won against you; Chances are they will try that strategy again! -=Optional Ettiquities=- Don't just spam a single type of unit; While this is a legitimate strategy; it is also often extremely unfun to be mobbed by hordes of bikes, mediums, or otherwise, very early on. If you're feeling risque or think the other player is newer to the genre; pull back and give them more of a shot; If the enemy feels "limp" then they might give up and not want to play any more RTS games; and that is something we can't really afford for the genre; we need people to want to play RTS games.↑ Top
