Red Alert 2 HD Assets for Red Alert

[h1]Red Alert 2 HD Assets[/h1]

EA has not endorsed and does not support this product.

Red Alert 2 units, sounds and voices for Red Alert, in HD. Built for Command & Conquer Remastered Collection.

This is an asset pack: on its own it adds nothing to the game. A mod has to use it.

This pack is for Red Alert only. Please see the TD pack if you want to use this for TD.

If the game crashes on the splash screen, the extra art needs more video memory than it has: add NOSPLASHPRELOAD to the game's launch options.

[h2]Using the assets in your own mod[/h2]

Every object, cameo and sound is named with the R2 prefix, so nothing clashes with the base game's own assets.

Enable this pack beside your mod (the game finds its art and sounds in any enabled mod) and copy the entries you need from this pack's Data/XML files into your mod's RA_*.XML, RABUILDABLES.XML and SFXEVENTS*.XML. Each object needs a classic-mode SHP with the same frame count (a transparent stub is enough) and its ImageData set in your DLL's Init or One_Time (EA's example).

Some stock tiles are animated: they hold several s and an FPS (the Red Alert Heavy Tank and Mammoth Tank turrets have 8 frames at 5 FPS). When you point an existing tile at this pack's art, replace its whole list and remove its , or you'll see the RA frames constantly switch with yours. Copy the pack object's own tiles as well: the game opens an object's art only when a tile with the object's own name is loaded.

[h2]AI disclosure[/h2]

The HD art in this pack was made with AI assistance. The 3D models behind the sprites were built and refined with AI tools, then rendered, checked and fitted to the game by hand, and every asset was reviewed in play in Red Alert before release.
The scripts and tools that build this pack were written with AI assistance. The original designs, sounds and voices are Westwood's and Electronic Arts'.
