- Since I've had a few E-Mails about how to view MIX files, I thought I'd
- post the answer here.
-
- In each mission description in GENERAL.MIX is a variable called 'Action'
- which tells the computer which cutscene to introduce the mission with
- after the briefing. I usually change this but you can also change the
- Win/Lose custscenes as well.
-
- Here goes:
-
- First you need to get your GENERAL.MIX onto your hard drive. For those
- of use who bought the game and have it on CD you can copy it over into
- your C&C directory.
-
- Now you have to use a hex editor on GAME.DAT so back it up first, just
- in case. Do a search for GENERAL.MIX - there should be 2 occurrences.
- change each occurrence to X:GENER.MIX where X is the letter of your
- hard drive which contains your C&C directory. This basically overrides
- C&C's CDROM letter. Exit out of your hex editor and rename GENERAL.MIX to
- GENER.MIX.
-
- *Phew*
-
- Now go back into your hex editor and do a search for BRIEF=GDI1. This is
- the animation for the briefing for GDI mission 1. Unfortunately it also
- seems to be used in the Multi-player missions so you have to find an
- occurrence that doesn't have a mention of Multi1 near it... Still
- with me?
-
- You should have the following:
-
- [BASIC]
- CarryOverCap=-1
- CarryOverMoney=0
- Intro=x
- BuildLevel=1
- Theme=No theme
- Percent=0
- Player=GoodGuy
- Win=CONSYARD
- Lose=GAMEOVER
- Brief=GDI1
- Action=LANDING
-
- There's more following it but this deals with Unit/Infantry/Structure
- placement. Yes - that can be altered too...;-)
-
- To get the new cutscenes, alter the Action/Win or Lose variable to one of
- following:
-
-
- GDIEND1 GDIEND2 GDIFINA GDIFINB AIRSTRK AKIRA BANNER BCANYON BKGROUND
- BOMBAWAY BOMBFLEE BURDET1 BURDET2 CC2TEASE CONSYARD DESFLEES DESKILL
- DESOLAT DESSWEEP FLAG FLYY FORESTKL GAMEOVER GDILOSE GUNBOAT HELLVALY
- INSITES KANEPRE LANDING LOGO NAPALM NITEJUMP NODEND1 NODEND2 NODEND3
- NODEND4 NODFINAL NOD FLEES NODLOSE NODSWEEP NUKE OBEL PARATROP PINTLE
- PLANECRA PODIUM REFINT RETRO SABOTAGE SAMDIE SAMSITE SEIGE SETHPRE
- SPYCRASH STEALTH SUNDIAL TANKGO TANKKILL TBRINFO1 TBRINFO2 TBRINFO3
- TIBERFX TRTKIL_D TURTKILL
-
- All of these are mentioned in Game.dat but not all of them work. I tried
- NUKE and AKIRA but had no luck...
-
- For a trippy time, try Player=BadGuy as well
