Audio production guy, musician, and developer of strategy games. Computers have a reluctant corner of my life, as I very much enjoy being outside and working with my hands. In the 90's, my family enjoyed networking strategy games like Age Of Empires and Command & Conquer. The first mod I ever played was "CannisRules" for Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge. I was shocked at how so many subtle changes could drastically improve an old favorite. After conquering that mod, I recalled a long-forgotten dream about modding my favorite PC games someday. I didn't want to learn more computer code, but... Fast forward several years, and the mod I began simply to tweak Red Alert 2 has been re-written several times on its journey to becoming "Nod's Revenge". I'm excited to contribute to the conversation here on MDB.

To each his own. These few custom graphics are pieces of the mod that I'm particularly proud of.

My favorite GDI was TibSun, and I enjoyed putting the UN/Allied blue and white scheme over it for the mod.

I actually think the old TibDawn logo and TibSun can live together in the same game and timeline. I'd consider using the old TibDawn maybe for some faction-picker mini-logos.

Thanks for the comment, Mayerm, and for playing.

Back when I was testing buildable peacekeepers. It was a fun cameo to make, but I think the more recent v0.92+ system where a lot of these misc infantry are regulated to building and vehicle crew creates a more simplified user experience while still keeping the extra fluff.

Custom build trees are a totally different ball of wax that old-school non-ares mods like mine can't do much with, but I'm okay with that.

"currently testing"... this was way back in 2015 with version 0.8-something. maybe even pre-beta. I think I found that the single-square base power buildings were just too weird to balance for cost and getting the AI to build their bases properly.

May not be a completely impossible idea, but I moved back into a 2x2 allied p.plant and left off trying to get the upgrade turbine graphics to work back in 2019... anybody with up for trying to finish that, shoot me a PM.

Cheers.

Have you guys seen the EC Henry video on the Incurser Class Cruiser?
I'm sure his team could get you some assets to help you create the unit in game. https://youtu.be/pZLAtGu3-98

If you are playing Yuri using Origin, then the file shuffle is the only way to reliably play NR at the moment.

If you are using a traditional CD download, then you can play through an easy launcher (see main download), which will shuffle the files for you.

I hope this helps. We also have instructions in the Readme file and on our forums here in the ModDb page.

Pretty dumb to cancel this...
All they have to do is look at open RA and the SCORES of mods for all their original C&C games and think, "I'll bet this franchise has a few loyal fans. We should make a fanservice game and cash in...".

But nope.

Oh well. Instead of spending $50 on an awesome new title, I'll just have to keep spending countless hours of my free time programming my own C&C game.

We definitely want to make online pvp a feature by V.1.0! Exactly how this happens is still being researched.

Exactly. We've tried to incorporate as many themes from C&C Renegade as we can, which combined with RA2 tech ends up feeling a little like a grounded Tib-crisis alt-reality.

NR is primarily tested on Single Player Skirmishes and LAN multiplayer. As long as both players have the same version of the mod and have their vanilla game updated using the official EA patches (also on our downloads tab), then Local Area Network play should be stable. If you have any other details on your issue using network play, please message me or use our forum tab!

Can you play normal Yuri using your CD? If not, then "Error Finding Game" could mean that your installation is damaged. XCC Mod Launcher uses the registry to find YR and extract the actual mod into the game (I believe the exact path preferred is "C/Westwood/RA2". A lot of new Windows OSs and newer versions of the game CD may install in your "Program Files" instead of the classic file path seen above.

Check if your YR CD allows you to play the game, if not, reinstall the whole game and move/rename any game folders created to match the folder path above.

Hope it works out for ya!

I used to see that error, too...on windows 7. I had to move my Westwood folder (which has my RA2 folder) under my "c/" drive instead of my "Program files" folder. The mod excecutable file needs that file path to place the temporary game files.

I'd need some more details to help you get it up and running. If you open a free moddb profile, you could private message me with your system data and we might be able to figure it out.

Bucknife - - 67 comments @ Return of the C&C dinosaurs?

Hopefully with 0.87! We're almost ready to put out 0.86 with some pretty huge balance and AI improvements and a few new units. If some map-makers would like to create some "funpark/JP" style maps, that would be a great way to re-introduce the dinosaurs. I also have a couple ideas on how players could unlock certain dinosaurs during regular multiplay.
