Hi,

I decided to try out this fine project's AppImage, which I made by running:

make
cd packaging/linux
./buildpackage.sh $(git rev-list --count --branches master) .

in this repo, at commit 365732e, then launching the resulting AppImage, DarkReign-185.AppImage. The content installer ran fine, but then immediately after it crashed with the error:

        ura-v0.25 Alpha: Red Alert: Unplugged (v0.25 Alpha)
        dr-185: Dark Reign (185)

A CashTricker trait conditioned to rely on the AI condition on the Player actor should be able to do the job.

Currently the mod can install the assets from the demo release instead of the full game. The demo has a lot of content but is missing the following assets:

Tilesets:

• Snow

Sprites:

• FGPlanetaryDefense: t0rad1l0
• CivilianHall: t0hal1l0
• CivilianLargeHall: t0lar1l0
• CivilianSmallHall: t0sma1l0
• CivilianDestiny: t0des1l0

Sounds

• ClickSound: gxclkoc1

This is a problem if a player with the full game installed creates a Snow map, or uses any of the listed actors in a map - if another player with only the demo installed attempts to play the map, their game client will crash.

In addition, the Dark Reign Expansion content is currently optional. The expansion content is fairly neatly contained: there are two new factions with new art and the original factions are unchanged. However, the expansion also has an exclusive tileset: Alien. This has the same problem as the Snow tileset: players without the content installed will crash to desktop.

Another problem with the Expansion being optional is that the expansion factions are exposed to the player whether or not they have the content installed:

I had hoped to signal to players that these require the expansion content by putting them under the subheader "Expansion Only", but this is an easy mistake to make. Especially if playing multiplayer, if any user doesn't have the expansion content but picks an expansion faction, they'll be dropped from the game without any obvious message telling them they are missing the expansion content.

These problems are an ongoing frustration for users attempting to play the mod. As one exasperated player put it:

if your mod can't work with only the assets from the demo, why even use the demo as an asset source?

I was hoping that one day OpenRA might support features to "choose a DR flavor" with separate rulesets to restrict factions, actors, sounds, and tilesets depending on what content is installed. But this would be a significant amount of work and is probably unlikely for the forseeable future.

I am considering removing the demo as an asset source and making the expansion content mandatory. This will eliminate any missing asset problems, but is much more inconvenient to install content. Players will need to use the Advanced Install window and the Detect Disc button to detect a GOG install or CD/mounted image(s):

If using mounted disc images, the player will also need to alt+tab to change the disc image between installs which is an additional difficulty.

Not to mention, removing the demo means the player needs a paid copy of the full game and expansion:

I really want to try Dark Reign (since I never played it) but if you make me spend money for it: I don't have the money to do so and [it] will mean you lose out on a player.

Which is a legitimate complaint. So what is the solution? I am leaning towards removing the demo and making the expansion mandatory because it will prevent the game from crashing. It's a higher barrier for entry to get the content installed, but it's probably worth it for a better player experience. And also I can use the snow tileset :)

What do you think?

Hi!
I'm running Linux. I tried the AppImage and also build it from source. But i cannot figure out how to add the content to the game from an GOG installation. I have ran the game within a virtualbox using the GOG installation. That went pretty good.

So, how to add the contents to the Linux installation?
Update: Never mind, i found it out:

Hi,

At the end of a game subject to #20 the game crashed on me. The logs are in (the latest of these exceptions is the exception log for this) logs.zip. My OS is x86-64 Fedora 28, with the i3 window manager as my UI. mono --version returns:

On this platform OpenRA Red Alert 20180923 runs fine (both the AppImage and it installed via my package manager), in case you're wondering whether my version of Mono or Lua is to blame.

Water contaminator does not work.

There are different versions of the building underlay sprites for each tileset. Currently it is hard coded to the barren tileset in the sequences like so:

idle-top: barren|ncpow1l0.spr
	ZOffset: -8192
	Start: 1

This ncpow1I0.spr sprite file exists in each of the tileset archives: BARREN.FTG, SNOW.FTG, JUNGLE.FTG, etc.

But this hard-coding means it will only use the barren tileset underlay sprites, no matter what tileset we're using. This looks horrible as it's in the wrong palette, as seen above with the horrible green.

In the rules this sequence is shown using a HitShape and a WithIdleOverlay:

HitShape@LAYER1:
	Type: Rectangle
		TopLeft: -512, -1536
		BottomRight: 512, -512
WithIdleOverlay@LAYER1:
		Palette: terrain
		Sequence: idle-top

It will take code changes to create some way to load a sprite from the current tileset archive instead of hard-coding it like this.

The Scout and Sniper can disguise themselves as trees, but moving will remove the disguise.

I've tried to achieve this with these yaml settings on the actor:

Disguise:
	DisguisedCondition: disguise
	ValidStances: Neutral
	TargetTypes: Trees
	RevealDisguiseOn: Move

-WithInfantryBody:
WithDisguisingInfantryBody:
	MoveSequence: idle
	DefaultAttackSequence: idle
	IdleSequences: idle
	StandSequences: stand

And the actor can disguise as a tree. However, movement should break the disguise, but it doesn't. The unit remains as a tree:

A recent update requires healing to be contingent on a condition. I've done the following to support this:

^Humanoid:
GrantConditionOnDamageState@DAMAGED:
Condition: damaged
ValidDamageStates: Light, Medium, Heavy, Critical
Targetable@HEAL:
RequiresCondition: damaged
TargetTypes: Heal

And weapon:

Heal:
ReloadDelay: 135
Range: 2c512
Report: gxheaoc0.wav
ValidTargets: Infantry
Projectile: Bullet
Speed: 1c682
Warhead@1Dam: SpreadDamage
Spread: 256
Damage: -85
ValidStances: Ally
ValidTargets: Infantry
DebugOverlayColor: 00FF00

Repair:
Inherits: Heal
ReloadDelay: 150
Report: gxrepoc0.wav
ValidTargets: Repair
Warhead@1Dam: SpreadDamage
Damage: -85
ValidTargets: Repair

But medics and mechanics continuously repair/heal at full health. I must be missing something.

Generic unit types like the construction rig or the freighter use the freedom guard voice by default. I'm not sure how to have a faction-specific voice.

DR uses Bink video. The format was reverse-engineered by the FFmpeg project and Bink decoding is supported by the open-source libavcodec library.

This could be wrapped, if the license permits.

A nice to have in the long term.

For some reason I can't work out how to define a sprite sequence just using the filename, e.g. "ufsabmn0", without ".spr".

Just wondering how to support the project with more maps.
How did you generate those maps? Are they "made" manually or did you use some sort of tool to convert original Dark Reign scenarios to your mod?

Maybe i can write some conversion tool. Could you give me some information on that?

Has this project been abandoned? It's been a year since the last commit..

Building in the original had you pick a building from the build palette, place it, and having the rig move to the site and begin building. Much like Starcraft or Warcraft.

This let the player build several buildings in parallel.

OpenRA doesn't really support this yet. But, IceReaper has worked on parallel queues before: OpenRA/OpenRA#14201

This was not completed due to lack of time. But, both IceReaper and I both need this feature, him for his KKND mod.

Apparently the mod Medieval Warfare has this implemented, but I haven't looked at it yet.

This is probably the most important feature currently for DR.

Not sure how to wire this up.

I tried the latest revision of this mod using the Archive.org CD version of Dark Reign, but it fails to find the required files when the CD image is mounted (in ArchLinux). Maybe the checksum is not correct?

$ md5sum /run/media/g/DKREIGN/install/data/dark/graphics/sprites.ftg 
30e26c563822b646cef9fc6c01d13d0f  /run/media/g/DKREIGN/install/data/dark/graphics/sprites.ftg

Shattered Paradise apparently has a weapon like this.

Buildings that can be upgraded do not have their sprites changed to the upgraded sequence.

DR shadow images are separate .spr files from the unit, building, or decoration .spr files. Currently we can manually add them together like so for decorations:

Sequence:

aoclf000.spr:
	Defaults:
		AddExtension: False
	idle:
		Start: 0
		Length: 1
	shadow: aoclf0sh.spr
		Start: 0
		Length: 1
		Offset: 13, 12

Rule:

aoclf000.spr:
	Inherits: ^DrRock
	Building:
		Footprint: __ x_
		Dimensions: 2,2
	HitShape@LAYER1:
		Type: Rectangle
			TopLeft: -512, -512
			BottomRight: 512, 512
	WithIdleOverlay@LAYER1:
		Palette: shadow
		Sequence: shadow

But I'm not sure how we're going to handle units which have direction and animation. There is also a ton of work involved in devising the Offset of the shadow for all the units, buildings and decorations.

Hi,

While the game starts fine on Linux now the normal AI does absolutely nothing, just leaves the construction rig to stand there. I was playing against five normal AIs and they were all just standing there.

My logs (of the exception logs only the last one pertains to this issue) are here: logs.zip. You'll find evidence in it of the next bug I'm about to report too, as at the end of a game the game crashed.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Hi,

Sadly commit 237 crashes, on start up on Arch Linux with this exception log. The most important lines are probably:

Loading mod: dr
Exception of type `System.AggregateException`: One or more errors occurred.

The only other log written to during this error was perf.log, which can be found here.

If there's any other pieces of information you need to diagnose and fix this problem simply ask.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

The default build-time animation included with the example mod shows in all black. This shows as ugly black boxes in the build palette.

Hi,

Commit 104 build absolutely fine on Arch and Tumbleweed, but 105's build failed with the error (no other warnings or issues elsewhere in the compile process):

Based on this I'd guess these are the relevant lines to commit e91be6b: 242, 259, 272 and 285.

Any fix to this issue will be much appreciated as this is a mighty fine mod :).

Thanks for your time,

Hello! Following this along with great anticipation, loved Dark Reign!

Tried out the most recent AppImage and it's supposed to ask for the content isn't it? All I get is a black screen with a Quit button currently.

In the original, the Infiltrator can infiltrate the HQ, Training Facility or Assembly Plant, and select a unit/building plan to steal. Once escaped, he must be returned to the player's HQ for the player to be able to build the unit/building.

Currently he can be disguised and enter enemy buildings, but nothing happens.

When I run the command:

./launch-game.sh

after building this mod with make, I receive the error:

Required engine files not found.
Run `make` in the mod directory to fetch and build the required files, then try again.

(Platform is Arch Linux).

At least part of the issue is that building this mod no longer creates an OpenRA.exe file, instead an OpenRA.dll file is generated in engine/bin. But I have found that modifying the launch-game.sh file so that it uses OpenRA.dll instead of OpenRA.exe does not fix this error.

Dark Reign had a great system for creating smooth transitions between terrain tile types. It was explained in the very detailed Tactics Engine manual included with the game. Here is the relevant section:

TE manual - tilesets

And here's the end result:

The gist of it is that there are 4 values stored for each tile; one for each corner. In the level editor, the tile paint brush is offset by half a tile size, so the user is painting at the corner of 4 tiles instead of the middle of one tile.

The terrain engine then devises edge and corner masks (greyscale images) which are used to blend between the two different tile types. The end result looks really natural.

OpenRA currently only supports one value per tile, but apparently we might be able to add a field defining a custom tile data chunk size(? Unsure of terminology).

Currently DR looks very blocky without this tile blending:

This missing feature has elicited a few inquiries recently, so I thought I should write it up.

In DR, freighters can harvest taelon and return it to a power generator, or harvest water and return it to a water launch pad.

But currently in the mod, both the power generator and water launch pad are marked as refineries, and freighters can return any resource type to any building.

Hi,

OpenRA itself builds fine on this platform, as does the uRA mod, so this issue is unique to this particular mod. I would love to try this mod out, however, so please help me.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Resources in the original had credits, water, and taelon.

Water and Taelon have their own bars, and when the player fills up either bar, they get ~3000 credits. (EDIT: This is incorrect, see comments below)

In the mod, we just deposit these resources directly as credits in typical RA fashion.

This is a pretty important feature to DR, next to building with construction rigs: #1

you can command vehicles to repair and they will go to it but they will sit there and do nothing

An exception is thrown in ProductionTooltipLogic at line 121. tooltipIcon.ProductionQueue is null.

DR has a BuildSelectPaletteWidget and accompanying logic for picking buildings and placing them on the map. This logic doesn't populate the ProductionIcon's ProductionQueue. This is because the ProductionQueue is on the self-constructing building itself, which hasn't been created yet.

I see you did that for the Gamma alteration and maybe for Jasc32, but IIRC Jasc32 is in upstream by now, and gamma offsetting fits better for an explicit PaletteFromPaletteWithGamma trait.

There is currently no ability to phase units. Key issue for alpha.

We're just using the RA in-game interface.

The artillery shells only have one explosion sprite eofarex0/eoiarex0, but it has additional explosion effects as defined in Animate.txt:

;HellStorm Artillery
DefineExplosionType(eofarex0_explosion)
{
  PlayAnimation(0 1 0 eofarex1_animation opaque)
  PlayAnimation(0 1 0 eofarex0_animation translucentB1)
  PlayAnimation(0 3 3 lite2_animation light)
}

;Scarab
DefineExplosionType(eoiarex0_explosion)
{
  PlayAnimation(0 3 3 eoiarex0_animation opaque)
  PlayAnimation(0 3 3 eoiarex1_animation opaque)
  PlayAnimation(15 3 3 eoiarex2_animation opaque)
}

Hi,

I'm shown this screen upon starting up DarkReign:

Even when I have the assets already installed. I clicked "Quick Install" in case you recently edited the game to require new assets, yet I'm still taken back to this screen after it is complete.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

When shooting in the 1 o'clock direction (or north north-east), an exception occurs due to a large facing value. This only seems to happen for sprites with 24 facings and multiple animation frames.

Culprit sequences are: eolaspr2.spr, eorgnpr0.spr, eorgnpr1.spr. The default laser weapon used by the base troop Raider (FG) or Guardian (Imperium) will do it.

Currently I'm addressing this with a copy of DefaultSpriteSequence: HackySpriteSequence. Line 345 contains a hack to always choose a valid facing.

// TODO: DR hack!
int newIndex = start + i;
if (newIndex >= sprites.Length)
	newIndex = sprites.Length - 1;

To reproduce, place a breakpoint in the block above (line 345, HackySpriteSequence.cs), start the game, go to Single Player, Missions, Mission Test, select a Raider, and force fire in the 1 o'clock direction.
