Hi Jim ,

I usually agree with the saying

" You can't please everybody all of the time "

This is one of those rare times when you actually CAN please everybody. In short, if your team ...

The first three Westwood games have been released in OpenRA and the fourth, Tiberian Sun, soon to be (by the looks of it), so it makes sense that the fifth and *last of the 2D RTS games made by Westwood also gets added - Red Alert 2. Are there any plans for this in the future?

*(Yuri's Revenge is ...

OpenCnC would be much more suitable. But I prefer OpenC&C (with an ampersand).

Patch.

Do we have to create our OWN patch to hopefully be approved for the game, or can we simply request for somebody to create it?

Cool, thanks.

Ah ok. I did a search in this forum for a similar topic, but I forgot to search the Github site.

1. Sometimes when I load up Tiberian Dawn or Dune 2k, there's a slight delay/lag with the mouse cursor. Does anyone else experience this?
2. 'Jump to last radar event': I have this hotkey set to 'Space' which is the default, but when EVA (or whoever) says 'Unit lost' then I quickly press the space ...

If a Mammoth Tank stops at the entrance of the left bridge, it will get stuck.

@SoScared - Your PayPal email in your first post (under Prize Pool) hasn't been updated yet.

I apologize if some (or maybe all) of these may have already been mentioned.

1. Is there a way to save your last skirmish settings? It's kinda annoying having to set my faction, explored map, fog of war, no crates, speed, etc etc., for every match.
2. With fog of war ON, when your unit dies, the ...

Not that I'm gonna donate (maybe one day), but where's the link to the PayPal account mentioned above? Also, why do you need a server from 2 different countries? (I'm sure there's a good reason but I'm just clueless when it comes to game servers).

Oh ok, bummer. It's just kind of confusing that in openra.net the games are referred to as 'recreations', but in-game they're referred to as 'mods' (which is why I thought the games are mods of the originals and that you guys just added replays and other features to them). I think 'recreations' is ...

I love how you guys were able to add a replay system to this mod of classic rts games. Is it possible to do the same for the original versions of the games? If so, would it be a HUGE task? Roughly how long would it take to implement? What about for Red Alert 2?
