Hi Craig,
Wow!
I have to admit, I am extremly jealous of your ablity to get exact sounds from
one of your favorite games. Did you ever play fallout? There is one game I
would love to port to TB, or the RPG maker Ian has on the backburner.
AS for the intro movie, I think it would be a good idea. I am sure it would add
to the feel of the campaign. I never played this game, so this should be
really neat to actually hear the sounds from the actual game!

Subject: [ian-reeds-games] The sounds of destruction
Hi all,
As my none-too-helpful excited subject line suggests, it's sound
related. Everything about an audio game is sound related, but this is
particularly relating to my Command and Conquer maps and their former
lack of it.
I say former, as I've changed this! I recently got around to installing
the actual game on my PC again and cracked out some of my old C&C
modding tools, realised they were old and outdated, despaired for a
bit, asked my good old friend the internetz and obtained some new
easier to use tools. Now I've begun plucking out sounds from the game
to be used in it's Tactical Battle counterpart. And boy are there just
a few sounds. Filtering through them takes time, so I've not put in
everything relating to the units that are in game, but I think it makes
for a much better experience.
So, feel free to go download a new copy of the Red Alert maps and see
if it's any better or worse with actual sound in. As always, hit me
with any feedback.
Note: Map 3 is very much a work in progress. I didn't remove it, as I'm
using it to show a few potential bugs to Ian and will be using it to
test unit transformations. My advice is don't play it yet.
P.S. I am wondering whether to include the audio of the opening movie
from the game as a sort of map and just have the sound play when it
auto-exits. It's sort of easy to tell what's happening just from
dialog, even easier if you read the user-manual first. But I'm unsure
and don't even know if it's possible yet. Any thoughts?
Hope you like the changes,
Craig
