After pulling the OpenRA source, the first thing you’ll need to do is to make sure the Ijw.DirectX
|
||
submodule is updated and the Ijw.Framework submodule inside the Ijw.DirectX submodule is updated as well.
|
||
The Ijw.Framework submodule should be built in both release and debug modes and requires NUnit
|
||
(http://www.nunit.org/index.php) to build unless the IjwFrameworkTests project is unloaded.
|
||
|
||
After the Ijw.Framework submodule is built, the Ijw.DirectX submodule should be built as well. After that
|
||
you should be all good to go ahead and build OpenRA.
|
||
|
||
To run OpenRA, several files from the original game’s install need to be copied to the root of the project
|
||
directory. These are "redalert.mix", "conquer.mix", "temperat.mix", "interior.mix" and "snow.mix".
|
||
|
||
Red Alert has been released by EA Games as freeware so it shouldn’t be too hard to find a legal copy of the
|
||
CD images. Unfortunately the installer is 16-bit and so won’t run on modern 64-bit operating systems. This
|
||
can be worked around by using the Red Alert Setup Manager (http://ra.afraid.org/html/downloads/utilities-3.html).
|
||
Make sure you apply the no-CD protection fix so all the files needed are installed to the hard drive.
