More Quality of Life Improvements


A simple mod that adds more quality-of-life improvements to the game. Does not add extra units or direct gameplay changes, so you get the true original experience, just improved. Currently includes the following enhancements:

Smarter Harvesters
Several enhancements have been added to make harvesters smarter.

In the original game, harvesters preferred harvesting ore patches to the north of their position. This mod makes them harvest the ore patches closest to their last refinery instead, which helps keep your harvesters safe and keeps the money flowing faster as the harvesters have a shorter path to home.

If you have multiple bases or a very large base, harvesters will now stick to using the closest refineries instead of wandering all around the map to reach any free refinery.

Harvesters also don't start idling anymore if their refinery gets destroyed while they are on their way to unload, but will instead find another refinery to unload to.

And finally, when the map runs out of ore, the harvesters won't stay idle permanently, but will periodically scan if more ore has spawned on the map (from ore mines). This also affects the Skirmish AI and makes it a bit less braindead in the late-game.

Pathfinding
Improves pathfinding by implementing the A* algorithm. Units will no longer hug cliffs and other obstacles, but move through the most optimal path. Special thanks to cfehunter for implementing this feature to TD, which I could then port to RA.

Factory rally points
You can select a factory and then click on the ground to give produced units a rally point, like in Red Alert 2 and CnCNet Tiberian Sun. This works with barracks, war factories and naval yards / sub pens. You can also hold ALT while giving the rally point to set the rally point to a unit or other object. Thanks to cfehunter for his work on the same feature for TD.

Other enhancements

Aircraft can be targeted manually with SAM sites and AA guns, making it possible to micro them for focus-fire
Enables force-fire (CTRL) for buildings
Enables the Stop (default S) command for buildings, so you can stop them from firing at a previously given target
Units react faster to enemies that move by their position
Service Depots now always tell fully repaired units to move out of the depot to keep it free for future use, even if there was no unit queued for entering them
Enables units to make queued waypoint loops if you make a path with Q-move and finally click on the unit itself (thanks to dkeeton for providing information about this)


Expect more to come in the future. And while I do my best to test the features actively, be sure to report any bugs if you come across them. Hope you find the enhancements useful!

Mere weeks have passed since the destruction of CABAL’s core in Libya, along with the mighty Core Defender - but peace has not returned to the world. GDI orbital networks have started picking up new CABAL processor signatures, matching that of the AI’s Libyan core, yet coming from more than two dozen new locations across the globe. At least three of the new core signatures have been traced back to ocean-bound locations in the Pacific, suggesting that the devious Nod AI has turned to floating naval bases in order to avoid GDI and Nod scrutiny on land - necessitating the deployment of both GDI and Nod naval detachments to combat this new waterborne threat. Finally, in a twist of fate that would see Tratos spinning in his grave, a new charismatic mutant leader has arisen to lead the Forgotten - and she is hell-bent on having her vengeance on those that have crossed the Forgotten in the past…

- use proper enums for vertex material shader properties
- create pivots for meshes on export if they have no parent bone
- create a bone for each hierarchy pivot on import (otherwise pivot order can not be maintained on roundtrip)
- reduced export time for meshes (O(n*n) -> O(n))
- handle empty/invalid/default materials correctly on export
- Bugfix: texture name got falsely '.dds' appended on export
- Bugfix: export proper opacity value of material (fixes invisible objects in W3DViewer)
- Bugfix: do not export uv coordinates if no texture is used by the material
- Bugfix: fixed mesh triangulation on export
- Bugfix: use proper hierarchy name for animation and hlod on export

Hey everyone, so there has been people asking about the C&C Remasters assets and using them in their open source standalone mods, as well as other sectors of the community asking questions along those lines (CNCNet, OpenRA etc).

The Community Council for the C&C Remasters have been discussing this topic with EA closely and EA have come up with a statement we can share with the community based on these questions;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We (The Community Council) have discussed with EA directly the topic of using the C&C Remastered assets in community projects. EA reserves all rights to the C&C Remastered assets, but they do not object to community projects using the assets under the framework of the current Remastered Collection modding policy.

This means that in order to use the assets from the Remastered Collection these requirements must be met;
 - The user must have purchased the C&C Remastered Collection and have it installed through Steam or Origin.
 - The community project must be clear that it is a fanmade project and unaffiliated with EA.
 - The community project can in no way commercialize the usage of the assets.
 - The community project cannot redistribute the Remastered assets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I, or any other member of the C&C Remasters Community Council will not be able to answer any more questions on this topic, but we hope this provides everyone with a clear understanding and correct use of the C&C Remasters assets.

Fellow Command & Conquer fans,

Today we’ll be launching our major update for the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. As mentioned in the post last week, our goal with this update was multifold:

- Complete several of the top community requested features which just missed the launch date
- Implement some additional quality-of-life improvements
- Address many of the top bugs which have been seen in the launch version
- Iterate on our Quickmatch ruleset

Below you will find the full list of Patch Notes for this update. But before we get too deep into the detailed list, there are some higher-level items to mention as part of this patch.

Stuttering Issue:

This patch aims to improve the framerate stuttering issue some people have been experiencing since launch. Admittedly this issue has been complicated to address. Effectively what we ended up having to do was refactor the way textures are loaded by the game, and push the majority of that loading to before you get into gameplay. This will have two primary impacts for everyone going forward:

1) Loading the overall game may take longer than before
2) Loading the first map may take longer than before

These longer load times would be most seen after a fresh restart of the computer. While we understand this extra loading time may not be ideal, our testing indicates gameplay performance should be improved across the board, and this felt like a worthwhile tradeoff. We want to continue gathering feedback / data on this issue, so if you have been experiencing the stuttering issue with the launch version, please let us know if this patch improved your gameplay performance.


Mod Compatibility:

Because this patch includes updates to the TiberianDawn.dll and RedAlert.dll files, it’s likely that previous mods will no longer be compatible with this updated version of the game. Modders will need to update their mods with the latest code and refresh their mods on the Steam Workshop. Certain mods may also need to be repackaged to be compatible with the new texture process above, and we’ve provided a script / tool to assist with this in the root install directory for the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, within the folder called “SOURCECODE/SCRIPTS.”

Once a mod has been updated on the Steam Workshop, players will need to follow a few steps to update and reactivate their mods:

1) Disable the mod in the Mods Menu
2) Unsubscribe from the mod in the in-game Workshop Mods menu
3) Quit and restart the game
4) Re-subscribe to the mod via the Workshop Mods menu
5) Activate the mod and restart the game as prompted
6) The updated mod should then work as intended

Players may experience some issues if they try to activate mods which are not updated to the patch version.


Detailed Patch Notes:

With those items in mind, please see below for all the updates made in this patch:

New Features:

* Added the ability to host Private Game Lobbies:

- The host must check the Private Game box in the setup screen
- Hosts can then choose a four digit passcode for their game
- Private games will show an icon in the Join Lobby list
- Attempting to join a Private Game will require the passcode
- Host invited players will not need to enter the passcode to join

* Added a Player Panel in-game to view player names, factions, team colors, and status. This can be accessed via the Players button on the Sidebar.
* Added the ability to mute a player’s chat while in-game. This can be done from the new Player Panel and tapping the mute checkbox next to their name.
* Added the ability to overwrite saved games. Note: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert saved game names are not exclusive, so be aware of overwriting saved games from one title to the other.
* Custom Missions can now be manually saved and loaded. Note, due to the underlying system this will currently only work for manual saves via the Pause Menu, and will not work for Quicksaving.
* Added the ability to see your Quickmatch stats and Leaderboard position if you’re not in the top 200 (Players must complete at least three Quickmatch games first)
* Added the ability to choose your sub-faction in Red Alert Quickmatch games
* Added the ability to choose Random faction in custom games
* Added support for the Origin Video Broadcast feature
* Added the Jukebox to the Main Menu Options / Audio menu. You can now customize your playlist here and listen in its entirety without needing to load into an actual game. Note: The Jukebox won’t override menu music, as the menu music is tightly connected with all the UI flows.

Quality of Life Improvements:

* The “Deploy” hotkey will now apply to all items with the Deploy Cursor, including un-garrisoning troop carriers, laying mines, activating the MAD Tank, and triggering the Chrono Tank
* Add the ability for multiple units to be queued on the Tiberian Dawn Repair Facility, the same as the Red Alert Service Depot
* Reduced the Hard Difficulty balance in Tiberian Dawn. We’ve effectively split the difference between Normal Mode and the launch version Hard mode. If you happened to already beat missions on Hard mode (Or somehow received the Achievement), then wear that with a badge of honor.
* Adjusted how you cancel queued in-progress units in the Sidebar. The first “cancel” click will now pause the in-progress unit, with the next click cancelling items in the stack. This will allow for quicker pausing to manage economic cashflow.
* Prioritized and reduced the cooldown of the EVA line “Our base is under attack”
* Changed the balance of being in low or zero power in Red Alert. There is now a maximum of a 4x build time increase for being at zero power (Compared to roughly 27x in the legacy title), which will ramp depending on the amount of low power.
* The Build Time tooltip will now update to reflect an increase in build time due to low power
* Added the ability to load a saved game from the Replay Mission dialog
* We’re experimenting with new Harvester logic, where Harvesters will now return to the original tile they harvested from and prioritize the fullest tile. This should help optimize Harvester behavior within certain resource fields.
* Made it so Middle and Right-click scrolling no longer removes a structure placement selection
* Removed AI takeover from Multiplayer games. Exiting the game will now destroy all your units and structures. This was a top community request to prevent the prolonging of games.
* Removed the Ready checkmark as a button in multiplayer lobbies. You can now only Ready up via the button in the bottom-right corner which should reflect the active state.
* Added the Command Line “MOD_DEBUG” that will disable the Client/InstanceServer timeout when the debugger hits a breakpoint in the mod DLL. This Command Line will also allow the game to be paused and stepped through frame by frame with F1 and F2. Note: Online play will be disabled if this Command Line is enabled. Note: MOD_DEBUG requires at least one mod be installed and enabled.
* Added the ability for turrets to stop force firing on the ground by using the “Guard” command
* Adjusted disabling the profanity filter so it will now also disable profanity in Custom Map names and Custom Mission briefings
* Added an Author field when custom maps are selected to highlight who created them
* The Installation and Intro Logo movies must now be skipped with the ESC key. This is to help ensure no one accidentally skips these meaningful videos on their first playthrough.

Bug Fixes:

* Fixed an issue where restarting a mission would sometimes change the difficulty back to Normal
* Fixed an issue where units could no longer be controlled after loading a saved game in which those units were selected
* Fixed an issue where Unit Queueing was getting disabled after loading a saved game
* Made an adjustment to Soviet Mission 5 where the MCV wasn’t loading onto the Naval Transport and getting the mission into a broken state (This was inconsistent for us to reproduce and hope it's now fixed)
* Made an adjustment to GDI Mission 8 where Civilians will now avoid Tiberium tiles, and the trigger-happy Civilian has been removed from the map entirely
* Fixed a memory leak which was causing instability in Multiplayer matches
* Fixed an issue where the Nod Cargo Plane could be targeted and destroyed
* Fixed an issue where units would move at hyper increased speed if players set certain units to Formations
* Fixed an issue where double-tapping to jump the camera to a control group was sending the camera to random location on the map
* Fixed an issue where mines were considered buildings and preventing games from ending
* Fixed an issue where preview images were not displaying in the Workshop Mods menu
* Fixed an issue where the Mods Menu was not auto-refreshing after subscribing to mods
Fixed a prominent crash where the Windows Input Method Editor (IME) was required to input characters
* Fixed an issue where the power indicator on the power bar was incorrect compared to legacy behavior
* Fixed a legacy issue where the Capture the Flag flag art was off centered with the surrounding rings
* Fixed an issue where the Harvester was unable to path to a Refinery on River Raid
* Fixed a legacy issue where units would sometimes be instantly repaired by the Service Depot
* Fixed a legacy issue where the Advanced Communications Center could be captured in multiplayer and by the AI (Since the Temple of Nod can’t be captured)
* Fixed an issue where the faction icon was seen incorrectly for Skirmish saves
* Fixed an issue where the video Introduction button was being disabled after navigating back and forth from Custom Maps
* Fixed an issue where it would rarely show “Mission Accomplished” in Quickmatch after losing the game
* Fixed a crash when saving the game during the Temple Strike mission
* Fixed an issue where player names were not able to be highlighted during the first 30 seconds of an Observer Mode viewing
* Fixed an issue where the incorrect portrait was being displayed for the Red Alert Artillery unit
* Fixed an issue where the green docking cursor was shown when selecting enemy Harvesters
* Fixed an where the Phase Transport was displaying the incorrect portrait when added to a Custom Mission via the Map Editor
* Fixed an issue where the laser from the Obelisk of Light was graphically corrupted in legacy graphics mode
* Fixed an issue where the multiplayer lobby list was not taking up the entire vertical space
* Fixed an issue where settings were not getting applied if tapping certain areas of the UI
* Fixed an issue where GDI Mission 8 was not getting added to the Mission Select screen after destroying the Airstrip in GDI Mission 6
* Fixed an issue where units could pass over a river in Blue Lakes
* Fixed an issue where the Laser Orcas would not properly load from saved game
* Fixed a crash if aircraft were destroyed outside the map boundaries
* Fixed an issue where User Map details were not being displayed by guest players in a lobby
* Fixed a crash when selecting the Workshop Mods button multiple times in a row
* Fixed a misspelling of the word “Affected” in the Paradox Equation mission briefing
* Fixed an issue where an extra Dr. Chan was appearing in Nod Mission 10
* Fixed an issue where the Map Editor was not compatible with older versions of .Net Framework
* Fixed an issue where if a Quickmatch fails to load properly, the game will send you back to the Main Menu after a 60 second timeout (Instead of being stuck in an endless loop)
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Bullseye
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Central Conflict Extreme
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Destruction Derby
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Gold Coast
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Normandy Landings
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Lakeland
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Land Ladder
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Lotsa Lakes
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Naval Conquest
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Open Warfare Mega
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Pilgrim Fathers 2
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on River Rampage Mega
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Rivers Wild
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on Scapa Flow
* Fixed mismatching tile issues on United Kingdom

Quickmatch:

* If you didn’t see the post from last week, we already made the following changes for Quickmatch on June 16:

- Increased the Game Speed from Normal to Fast
- Reduced the Starting Units to zero
- Removed Aftermath units from Quickmatch in Red Alert (due to extreme balance issues)
- Added two more maps to the Tiberian Dawn map rotation:

> Monkey in the Middle
> One Pass Fits All

* With this patch, we are making additional Map Pool adjustments based on community feedback:

- Adding “Eye of the Storm” into Tiberian Dawn
- Adding “Four Corners” into Tiberian Dawn
- Removing “Path Beyond” from Red Alert
- Removing “Snow Garden” from Red Alert
- Removing “Warlords Lake” from Red Alert
- Adding “Arena Valley Extreme” into Red Alert
- Adding “Bullseye” into Red Alert
- Adding “North by Northwest” into Red Alert
- Adding “Things to Come” into Red Alert

Overall, we hope this update improves your experience with the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. Thanks for your ongoing support, and please continue to provide your feedback here on the subreddit, in social channels, and with our support teams.

Cheers,

Fellow Command & Conquer fans,

Today we’ll be launching our second major update for the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection.

As I’ve been sharing with you over the past month via our Beta Patch updates, this Patch focuses on the following items:

LAN Play

Balance adjustments to address several key issues

Incorporating community maps as official Quickmatch maps

Dozens of QoL improvements and bug fixes across the board

Upcoming Quickmatch leaderboard reset

Below you will find the full list of Patch Notes for this update. Note: the Quickmatch changes will likely go into effect a few hours after the Patch goes live. But before we get too deep into the detailed list, let me provide context on each of the key items in this patch.

LAN Play:

As requested by the community over the course of the project, this update includes our official implementation of LAN Play. LAN Play allows players to enjoy Mod content in multiplayer, and should be an evergreen way to enjoy multiplayer far into the future. We did our best to test this feature amongst the Covid situation during development, along with attempting to get feedback from the community via Beta patches. But given the variety of ways people could play over VPN and with Mods, we expect there still to be some quirks in the system. Please continue to provide feedback so we can make any refinements going forward.

Balance Adjustments:

Over the past several weeks we’ve been collaborating with the community to tackle a few key balance items in the game. To see further context for these adjustments and read the full community discussion, please refer to my previous post here.

Community Maps:

A few weeks ago we announced the initiative of incorporating community made content into the actual game update so they can be officially utilized in Multiplayer and Quickmatch. We have decided to keep the first batch of Community maps as revealed, but have also made a few adjustments of the previous maps based on community feedback. The full details of these maps can be seen in the patch notes below.

Quickmatch Leaderboard Reset:

As mentioned in my previous post, we are getting ready to reset the Quickmatch ladder to get a fresh start on all these Quickmatch changes. This reset will likely happen in the next 48 hours if the patch launch here goes smoothly. In addition, one new feature of this patch is the ability to view the Leaderboard results of previous seasons (which should take a snapshot of the final results of this first season).

However, on this note I wanted to address a key topic with the leaderboard. We’ve seen reports, evidence, and even people admitting about “boosting” their leaderboard rank with alternate accounts. We feel this breaks the ethics of the Quickmatch landscape and undermines the leaderboard system. Being part of the C&C community should be a positive and fair experience for all players. So here’s the deal, we’re going to give a pass on this previous season, but this behavior will not be acceptable after the leaderboard reset. I respectfully ask everyone to please engage in ethical play behavior going forward, and if you are not sure what that means, I think reading our Positive Play Charter is a good place to start.

Mod Compatibility:

I’ll then reiterate this message from our previous Patch Notes. Because this patch includes updates to the TiberianDawn.dll and RedAlert.dll files, it’s likely that some previous mods will no longer be compatible with this updated version of the game. Modders will need to update their mods with the latest code and refresh their mods on the Steam Workshop.

Once a mod has been updated on the Steam Workshop, players will need to follow a few steps to update and reactivate their mods:

Disable the mod in the Mods Menu

Unsubscribe from the mod in the in-game Workshop Mods menu

Quit and restart the game

Re-subscribe to the mod via the Workshop Mods menu

Activate the mod and restart the game as prompted

The updated mod should then work as intended

Players may experience some issues if they try to activate mods which are not updated to the patch version.

Detailed Patch Notes:

With those items in mind, please see below for all the updates made in this patch:

New Features:

LAN Play has been added to the game, including the ability to play LAN games with Mods enabled and over certain VPN networks. When browsing LAN games, the UI should display which Mods are required to join each game. LAN Play can be accessed directly from the Main Menu.

Added the ability to change the resource regeneration speed in Skirmish and Multiplayer games. This is now a slider in the Rules section of the game lobby (With value “1” being the legacy default)

Added a shortcut “Download” button to the Join Game and Lobby screens to quickly download a selected Custom Map by the host. This should make it much easier to grab Custom Maps and try them out. Along with this change, we are adjusting the lobby list so games with Custom Maps should appear alongside all other hosted games.

Added the following community maps into the official game:

"Elevation" (TD) by AchromicWhite & Lovehandles

“Quarry” (TD) by AchromicWhite & Lovehandles

"Heavy Metal" (TD) by FeRReT666 & Lovehandles

"Electric Avenue" (TD) by FeRReT666 & Lovehandles

"Canyon Pursuit" (TD) by AchromicWhite

"Tournament Arena" (RA) by [UF] freezy

“Tournament Ore Rift” (RA) by [UF] ^^ZxGanon^^

"(WHT) Canyon" (RA) by AchromicWhite & FeRReT666

Quality of Life Improvements:

Balance adjustment - In Tiberian Dawn the APC now has the Repair Facility as a pre-requisite to build, in order to help mitigate the early APC + Engineer rush

Balance adjustment - The GDI Weapons Factory health has been increased by 30%

Balance adjustment - The Naval structures have been removed the the victory condition

Balance adjustment - The Nod Cargo Plane delivery time has been normalized to 5 sec

The Stop and Guard hotkeys can now be held down

Made it so the “Insufficient Funds” dialog will no longer play if you’re not building anything

Increased the priority of the “MAD Tank Deploying” voice over so it can be immediately heard

Made a slight adjustment to how the enemy Airstrike targets in Nod Missions. The A10s should now focus on a single-target instead of splitting to multiple targets. This was a tough issue to track down and still looking for player feedback on how it feels in this new patch.

Harvesters should now properly respond to a docking queue and override if a manual docking command is given

Improved the readability of the text on the score screen in Tiberian Dawn

Updated the Radar visuals for when its being jammed by a Radar Jammer or Tesla Tank

Enabled the Hell March and Act on Instinct Achievements to be unlocked via the Main Menu Jukebox
