Irkillroy Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 well you guys seem to get farther than me in crossover games.... I'm told I can't get to the server then it quits... though um, my game is a bit less paid for than yours probably are...... any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBuggy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I've read that the first Cider version with proper DirectX 9.0c support is the one that comes with City of Heroes, and the beta client is being released this week, according to ars technica. I unfortunately don't know what exactly the Cider porting process entails, but I figured it might be worth pointing out, especially since Spore only requires DirectX 9 whereas Red Alert 3 requires 9.0c.

jelmerjt Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thanks for the cider port cyclonefr, it works great . I'm playing it on a white Macbook with the GMA3100 and when I set everything to low it plays really nice. The cider port is on mediafire aswell by the way. Google has all the answers .

djuly Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 could you put your cider port on internet (mediafire, fileshare, ecc), please? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamidake50 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 is there a cider port on media fire? Also, there is a new cider out now and I am going to give it a try... Also, the new parallels (Dec 30th) plays RA3 very well (all settings medium on my card!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamidake50 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Got it working in Cider 2097. I was running v 1.04 RA3 which pops up a message cider can't display! still looking for a workaround ... Anyway runs awesome. ALL Settings are MAXED to the exception of Shader which is set to Medium and Anti Alias is off. Running in 1680x1050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Unfortunantely putting Shaders to Medium makes the game look a little more bad than on Windows. A better compromise is to set Shaders to Max but Shadows to Medium and Effects to Low (if shadows > Medium or FX to Low th game is slow as hell)... The game looks miles better and runs perfectly there... I think we just miss some Bloom effects, the game doesn't like "orange" anymore, but overall the game looks nicer and not really different than Windows... The water is even more beautiful with shaders to max... What do you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamidake50 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Actually yes, with shader on max it does look better. Later on I am going to 'fix' 1.04 by taking out that message. I'm pretty sure I will be able to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Let us know... I tried but I failed But yeah, the problem is because RELOADED has added some {censored} msg when running the game and somehow Cider doesnt like it... If you put NOTICE.TXT, the game wont show the msg anymore, but still same crash... The problem isnt the msg itself but the instruction for it to be displayed, even if ignored with notice.txt... The only way i see we could have this running is removing anything related to that msg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamidake50 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well.. since I have a lot of cracking experience, I'm familiar with ASM. I did find the routine at 02AE0A43... the routine would check to see if the NOTICE.TXT existed and if it didn't, would send a message box and write a new file. The RELOADED garbage is completely bypassed but still crashes under cider (my patch is still working under parallels). I think maybe it's a 1.04 issue? I'm still workin on it... cyclone, ideas? :02AE0A34 add al, byte ptr [eax] :02AE0A36 add byte ptr [eax], al :02AE0A38 pushad :02AE0A39 push 00BBB674 :02AE0A3E call ra3_1.02AE0A53 :02AE0A43 call ra3_1.02AE0AC1 <---- HERE :02AE0A48 call ra3_1.02AE0A8A :02AE0A4D popad :02AE0A4E jmp ra3_1.004D2F63 :02AE0A53 push ebp :02AE0A54 mov ebp, esp And it's crashing on Kernel32 calls.. hmm..

cyclonefr Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 you removed only the check for notice.txt or the whole RLD garbage ? Would we weird 1.04 doesnt work anymore, specially when the unpatched exe works (till it asks for the cdkey, but we cant see the "box" since cider doesnt support it). The best "crack" would be to use Darkc0der method and crack paul.dll, and thus we use an untouched exe (but only him can do that it seems.. even groups are cracking the original EXE...)

kamidake50 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah at 02AE0AC1 it calls another call, which checks for the file, and if not writes a new one out and then displays the message box. Then returns and returns again to 02AE0A43 after a compare otherwise displays a message box. So basically just skipped all that code. Yet cider crashes on other kernel32 calls (like GetProcessID) etc. They must have jacked up the file when they tried to 'hide' that garbage in there. Although the file runs in parallels without producing a message box or recreating notice.txt, something else is broken. And I doubt RELOADED will make another crack for 1.05 or 1.06 because of what BATTERY did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamidake50 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 ah... my bad then LOL. Maybe they will release an updated crack or do you how to/where to get the other crack for 1.04 (Darkc0der's) ? I'm thinking this crack is totally hosed.. not worth debugging and there is no guarantee I could fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonefr Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 darkc0der didnt make any crack for ra3... but if he did then it would solve all our problem because paul.dll has never been updated since 1.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
