I am willing to help with a Classic fork, to work on the CNC mod (and maybe RA if I have time).
I identified some important issues that have to be fixed with the engine first, before I think the C&C community will be willing to migrate:

-Orca doesn't return to helipad automatically
-Problems with Orca on repair bay
It should return to repair bay when you press F
-MRLS should have a turret but not be able to fire while it moves. Currently the engine only allows a vehicle firing forward or firing from a turret while moving. This unit firing while moving is too powerful.
-Production speed should be modifiable when there are multiple buildings. Is this present now?

There are other issues that require some programming intervention but those are the most critical I can think of at the moment.

So is this project still alive? I like to see this happen... also maybe make the multiplayer client look like the wold Westwood Online client that was used back in the day to connect to multiplayer games.

I added left-click orders (classic mouse-style) at https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/2579 If your fork already does this better, please contribute. It is hard to tell as you deleted the revision history in https://github.com/Iran/ClassicRA/commits/master and no easy way to compare your changes to vanilla OpenRA.

Gave it a try but your version of OpenRA does not compile completely on Linux:

I haven't worked on this for a while and I'm not sure I will. I've been patching the original Red Alert, making it modular, easy to download, install, configure etc.

Okay left-click orders are now part of OpenRA and I also polished Speedup of ClassicProductionQueue at https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/2602 so you can make a ra-classic mod without creating a dead end OpenRA fork.

It would be cool if this was part of the official OpenRA build instead of a complete fork, as that would avoid separating the small community. Also, modders and mappers could use your features in their maps, and you would be a big part of it.

I made fog of war a yaml setting in https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/2614 Seems to be the last engine change required for people to publish an OpenRA compatible classic mod.

A better AI is also awaiting to be merged in https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/2484 and Dan has converted all the classic maps which can be downloaded at http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/view ... 83&t=16139

One last thing is needed: Strafing. In the original RA, the yak would dump all of its ammo in a line. That will be need here.

https://github.com/Iran/ClassicRA/
Is this project on Github for RA only or is it also supposed to enable a CNC Classic mod as well?

Okay, I started to collect what we have in a way that allows it to be integrated and shipped with OpenRA releases at https://github.com/Mailaender/OpenRA/compare/classic-ra
  • TargetLines removed (the MoveFlash can be re-added later https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/2592)
  • Fog of War removed
  • Game rules from ClassicRA 0.1 merged onto current bleed (now with ChronoTank, Demo Truck, Mechanic)
  • UI reskin by JOo (it has to be visually distinct)
  • speedup for ClassicProductionQueue
  • left-mouse orders
  • hotkey removal (do we really want that)
psydev: I will create a cnc-classic development branch if you contribute the yaml rules.

For what it's worth, here's the Soviet equivalent to JOo's work:

I did the same for https://github.com/Mailaender/OpenRA/co ... nc-classic so psydev and everyone else interested has something to build upon. It includes the maps converted from c&c and covert ops by Dan. The UI is a mash-up of Classic TD interface skin by Harisson and something I dug up in OpenRA's commit history most likely original work by sleipnir. It needs some love, but it is a start.
