The purpose of this guide is to assist in the creation of scenarios for the game Red Alert By Westwood Studios, especially concerning the structure of the INI files used to do this.
If you intend to use quite a bit of this guide in your FAQ or similar text then I would quite like to hear from you, as I can create a reference to it in my guide. Also I want be credited if you use parts of this guide in your own.
If you have a contribution then please email it to the above address, it'll be more than welcome, and of course, you'll be credited for it. Remember these are only the initial releases of the guide, so is far from perfect, so any help is appreciated.
Web Site Authors : You are welcome (and encouraged) to have my guide on your page(s), as
long as you either:
Enough of the legal crap, enjoy....
As you may or may not know, there were a series of editors and documents regarding the same subject for the original C&C game, some of the processes and sections are similar so a past knowledge is more than helpful
Well, I reccommend starting with the Terrain Editor that comes with Red Alert, just create a suitable battleground for the scenario you wish to create, a MPR file will be created. (I found a BARRIERS.ZIP file, which I included in this ZIP, it is a map which has walls and crates on it so you can easily cut and paste them around the map, thanks to ????)
Copy this MPR file to another file with the extension INI, like : MYSCEN.MPR --> MYSCEN.INI (Please note that I will not detail the use of the RA Terrain Editor)
It is best to keep the original MPR file, if you wish to change the terrain you can use this, (will be discussed later)
You should now be able to edit the INI file under Windows '95 by simply double clicking on it, or alternatively under DOS use the command line : EDIT MYSCEN.INI
Once you have completed your INI file, rename it to one of the following: SCGxxEA.INI (allied mission) or SCUxxEA.INI (soviet mission) replacing the xx with the mission number, starting at 01. You may remember the SCMxxEA.INI files from C&C.
I've found that calling it MAPNAME.MPR, as RA multiplayer maps have always been, will
allow you to have the extra features as described in this text in multiplayer games, meaning
that you can design a co-operative map with a common enemy which has a massive
base complete with air and sea reinforcements!
(I have not tried using SCMxxEA.INI, it seems redundant if .MPR's are availiable)
Note that the EB and EC are also used at the end instead of EA, for missions where more than one choice is open on the map select screen. But if you set the SkipMapSelect property in the [BASIC] section to yes, you'll have no worries.
You can now run RA, if you made a mission 1 scenario, just begin as you would normally, and it'll start. Otherwise load a savegame from the mission you have replaced, (you'll have to do this unless theres a mission selector I do not know of) and restart the mission, it'll then play you're customised one. I suggest that if you want to distribute your scenarios, you save the game as soon as it starts, and distribute that (do a Win95 and DOS If you're feeling friendly). This is probably the best method as it stops people from modifying your maps. Remember to put a blank MISSION.INI file in the /REDALERT directory, otherwise the Briefing for the mission will not work. However, if you distribute a savegame, the end-user only needs that, and no other files, the MISSION.INI doesn't matter when loading a saved game.
Remember also to delete the whole [DIGEST] section, as otherwise you'll get an unsightly error message pop up every time you run the scenario.

First, in relation to C&C1 where each cell is represented by 2 bytes, as the total map size in
RA seems to be 128x128 then the binary file for the map which could then be fiddled with and read
by third-party editors would be a 128x128x2 byte binary file (=32k)
(This would definately be needed if an editor was created allowing the creation of INDOOR maps)
To think about.....Maybe putting a 32k SCG01EA.BIN file along with the INI (a'la C&C1), this would
be a solution, but unfortunately the RA terrain editor only handles packed maps :(
(note that NewINIFormat=1 would PROBABLY be needed for this way to work.)
I 'think' it would be a 2-part process:
[MapPack]
1=983704304RREREW84790.......
2=8743907547054......... > Compressed Binary > 32k Map Binary
3=..... (probably Run-length) 2 bytes per cell
..... And So On
..
< 70 chars a line >
From writing a mini program to analyse ALL the RA mission INIs, the Packed sections use the ASCII
codes as follows:
Written in ASCII order:
+/0123456789=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
(Note : ASCII 32, ' ' [space] never appears in a Packed Section)
Aha! Looked in GAME.DAT for the full alphabet and saw:
=.ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/
^^
Special/ \Ascii 00
Note that there are 65 characters above, but the '=' character is only used at the end of
packed sections curiously... So more likely 64 is the key number, from 0 to 63 of course.
(That Ascii 00 in game.dat is a bit of a mystery, but C/C++ stores strings null terminated,
so the '=' is definitely special in the packed sections, Hex was ... 00 3D 00
^ ^ ^
Null from prev. string '=' Null terminate of '='
Theory:
-------
The GAME.DAT sequence shows that A would be 0, B=1, C=2..... +=62 and /=63
Each character represents 6 bits, arranged as follows
6 bits [000000][111111][000000][111111]
So in the compressed Binary form:
8 bits [00000011][11110000][00111111]
Maybe the '=' character is a padding to an incomplete last 8bit.
Ok then, try some mappacks:

Well, it seems to be that an = sign is on every byte sequence ending with a '00'. This probably
means chuck the last byte (unwanted discrepance from 6-8 bit conversion)
BLOODY HELL, taking a break for a while, doin my head in!
*********** NEW *************
The DECODER.ZIP file has a
utility which will do the
above process for you.
*****************************
The sections from the now well known RULES.INI can be padded into the scenario INI (or MPR) to make a special map conforming to those rules. For example, in order to create higher tech things on a level 1 scenario (SCG01EA.INI), you'll need to set the techlevels of certain structures and units (and maybe prerequisites) in order to build those there. I will not go into the RULES.INI file in detail here (it speaks for itself, pat on the back to the programmer that stuck it in!). However it is essential really to create a fully functional scenario, sections such as [IQ] reside here which are commented and explain how you can set the AI of computer sides (see [USSR] etc...). The [General] section is also very handy. If you do not know about, or have a commented RULES.INI file in your REDALERT directory, then you'll be able to get one from: http://www.best.com/~phenix/ra/archive/rulesini.zip (On The IRON CURTAIN site)
The Scenarios from the actual game can be extracted from the MAIN.MIX file on the CDROM. Search for "[Missions]" with your friendly neighbourhood hex editor to find near the beginning them. The whole load of INIs amount to about 1 meg. **NOT REDALERT.MIX SORRY ABOUT BEFORE** There will be a utility with this guide which will extract the missions for you, it'll be ready when v1.1 is released (when my editor is too)
Email me if you want to be sent a BETA version of my scenario editor when it is availiable. I do not know of any other editors out at this time (excluding the masses of RULES.INI ones)
Few bits from [Basic] Many parts of [Trigs] Many parts of [TeamTypes] The packed sections fully, (from packed to 32k binary) I'm hoping to include a sample INI file with information on how I created it sometime... (along with a savegame file so you can play it!)
