Tiberian Dawn and Expansion Command & Conquer Gold: Project 1.06 by Nyerguds: http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cnc95upd/cc95p106/

Red Alert and Expansions Portable RA by Iran: http://iran.cnc-comm.com/ra/

Tiberian Sun and Expansion Tiberian Sun Client by Tiberian Sons: http://www.moddb.com/mods/tiberian-sun-client

These versions are acceptable since they have much better compatibility with newer operating systems and don't actually change the game play.

Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge RA2/YR Client: https://cncnet.org/yuris-revenge#download While this client requires the full game to work and does not support the campaign, you can copy ddrawcompatTS.dll from Resources folder into your RA2/YR directory and rename it to "ddraw.dll" for a much better experience on newer operating systems.

Ultimate Collection C&C Ultimate Collection Launchers by Bibber: http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-collection-launchers/ UI's for TW, KW, RA3, and Uprising are disabled by default. With this patch, you will be able to run an older version of the game.

Since you can't really skip primary objectives like you do in TW, the rule should probably just be not completing any secondary objectives. Not completing certain secondary objectives in certain missions can increase the difficulty somehow. For example, in Persuade Him and Tacitus Regained, not completing any secondary objectives makes you face more enemy reinforcements.

IIRC, the only other mission where you see enemy MCV's entering the field is Nod Sarajevo. Your strat already takes care of the second part of that mission pretty well, but it's worth a try.

I finally finished a Scrin campaign run on verison 1.07. It turns out to be not worthy to run on this version since you don't start with Mastermind on Mission 3. However, I discovered a big time saver on Mission 1. If you save the game when the southern GDI MCV is unpacking and reload, GDI won't build any structures! This fact might make it necessary to time Scrin campaign runs by real time though.

Fortranm8 years ago

How did you make Saboteur run that fast in Operation Stiletto? I thought this mission would be a nightmare since you can't build structures at the beginning and the enemies' movements are too random.

@zenix You can rollback by adding "-runver 1.0" to the target field of the shortcut.

That's absolutely impressive. The only time I beat this mission was on Easy, and I couldn't find a chance to attack the enemy base without risking to fail the mission until all scripted attacks are done and the enemy base kinda run out of money. I wonder when do those 4 Latin Dreadnoughts enter the screen if you don't destroy the Sino-Soviet base so quickly. Waiting for them would probably turn this mission into a quasi-autoscroller.

So you managed to finish off the Sino-Soviet base before all scripted enemy reinforcements arrived?

https://www.speedrun.com/run/kz5k46jz 3.0BR2 is never publicly released. It's not a good idea to use a run on that version as record.

Fortranm8 years ago

I think restarting is needed in order to reset the difficulty. The run I just submitted used a newly generated save under Easy difficulty so it wasn't an issued though.

https://www.speedrun.com/starcraft https://www.speedrun.com/warcraft Apparently there are runs of Blizzard RTS games here. http://speeddemosarchive.com/Dune2000.html There are Dune 2K runs on SDA. I don't know if CoH series is suitable for speedrunning.

http://mentalomega.com/index.php?page=mod So it seems that the next version of MO will be named 3.3 instead of 3.0 BR2. The current 3.0 BR1 will probably be renamed to 3.0. This brought up a question: should the latest version be required when different versions have different missions? If the answer is yes, then all current records will be nullified when the next version is released, and there won't be places for missions from the old 2.0 version.

https://www.speedrun.com/cwc I added a game in C&C series, but I couldn't label it as a modification of Zero Hour under "Edit game."

Fortranm8 years ago

As a matter of fact, there are three coop missions for each faction. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuXVdlphzh3wRqM_Akwpu0Rw7H_lF6St Most, if not all, of them are essentially preconfigured skirmish matches. Nevertheless, it would be great to have speedruns of them, especially the Yuri campaign.

Should Zombie Army Trilogy be labeled as a game of this series?

Fortranm8 years ago

It might be necessary to specify the rule for GDI missions 6 and 7.

Fortranm8 years ago

http://planetcnc.gamespy.com/static2e35.html?page=TiberianDawnMaps You can see all the variations of levels on this list of maps. GDI mission 5eb is unreachable in official versions, but I don't remember if the 1.06c patch makes a change. http://planetcnc.gamespy.com/static7d53.html?page=ramaps There is one for Red Alert as well.

Uploaded a run on German version 1.5. As you can see, there is no final cutscene in this version. Maybe we should change the timing rule so that the final mission ends at the black screen right after the player loses control.

Fortranm8 years ago

It's not a bad idea to exclude the cutscenes that can be skipped by pressing ESC. When you say "reloads and pauses are not subtracted from the time", do you mean that the loading screen is not subtracted? Load times of S/L can vary between people just like the load times of missions.

Somehow I found the image of C&C Generäle disks. I legally owns the English version so it's not really piracy. It comes with patch 1.5, and I failed to update it to version 1.8. http://megagames.com/patches/command-conquer-generals-108-patch According to the change log, there are a few important changes to single player gameplay from patch 1.6 and 1.7: Version 1.7 - October, 2003

  1. FORCE FIRE - CHINA's Gattling Tanks can no longer force fire through buildings. Version 1.6 - July, 2003
  2. SCUD STORM ANTHRAX BETA BUG - GLA's Scud Storm now has the correct damage radius when upgraded with Anthrax Beta.
  3. CHINA GATTLING TANK BUG - China's Gattling Tank now correctly moves slower when it is damaged.
  4. GENERAL BALANCING ISSUES:
  • China's Gattling weapons now require Line of Sight to fire.
  • China's MiG cost increased from 1000 to 1200.
  • China's MiG Armor cost increased from 500 to 1000.
  • US's Cold Fusion Reactor Control Rod upgrade cost decreased from 800 to 500.

Most of these changes shouldn't affect the GLA campaign too much since you fight USA much more often than you fight China. Chinese Migs can be annoying in the final mission, but with the same build time, difference in prices shouldn't matter much.
