It's here at last, a complete guide to installing Rise of the Reds 1.5!

We hope this solves many of your problems with ROTR.

It will next be updated when a Mac Installation of 1.5 is available.

Any feedback is welcome.

Since I reinstalled CNC Generals and SW on a old Laptop I ran into two issues.
I was able to fix one by digging in this forum.
The first one ist the widescreen issue, naturally Generals doesn't support it.
I think it is a issue that should be covered in any Generals related document.
I found a posting from Alias who has a fast fix for that:

[Edit]

I noticed that the HUD and FMVs are staying in the wrong aspec ratio with the resolution command line while the main graphics are in the correct one.
Don't know if theres a better fix or patch though which puts both in the correct aspec ratio.

You could do it via the command line, like what I do. However you'll need to manually rename the .gib files to .big as you'll be launching straight from the Zero Hour executable.

This is what I use:
"D:\Games\Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour\generals.exe" -quickstart -xres 1366 -yres 768

You would of course have the correct path (find your shortcut to Zero Hour and add those parameters to the end), as well as having -xres 1920 and -yres 1080 instead.

This will force the game to always use that resolution.


The next question which came to my mind is about having different mods in your ZH folder like SW and RotR.
I know now after some research that these two mods don't interfere, a little note would be helpful.

Otherwise than that, valuable intel. smile.gif
