These are the people whose work made this patch possible:

• Scorpio9a, for his LAN patch
• CNCVK for the 1.05 patch
• Komfr, for the stealth crash fix and the original hi-res patch
• Reaperrr, for fixing the chem warrior bug, and for giving some other suggestions for fixes
• Darin, for reporting a bug that caused all campaign savegames to ask the Nod CD

With special thanks to:

• TSHyper, for helping me with the disassembly process, and for creating the enlarged exe file and its hi-res exe icons. I would never even have started this project without his help
• pd, for his assembler tool which allowed me to quickly convert assembler code to byte hacks

Beta testers:

• Tore
• El_Nazgir

1. Small mission maps:
The first campaign missions for each side will be smaller than the screen resolution, which gives some odd graphical bugs. Most of these are fixed by just touching the edge of the screen with your cursor (to scroll) and then opening and closing the main menu.

2. Savegames:
There is an odd bug in the game which makes the sidebar unusable after loading a game that was saved when playing with a different screen width. Because of this, I have decided to completely separate the savegames for the 1024x768 resolution. This means you can't use older savegames in this mode. In fact, The game will not even show them in your list. The new hi-resolution savegames will use the filenames "SAVEG_HI.???" instead of "SAVEGAME.???".

3. minimap crash on small missions:
Another more serious bug is the fact that C&C95 will crash when trying to display a minimap in a mission that is smaller than the screen resolution. However, since none of the smaller C&C missions allow you to have a communications center, this should not be a problem.
Because of this bug, I will not release any patches to play C&C95 in a higher resolution than 1024x768, since it will make the problem occur on campaign missions where you CAN get a minimap.

I will not add any additional resolutions (like, 800x600, or widescreen resolutions) to the game until I manage to fix both the savegame bug and the minimap crashes. I will also never add any ridiculously high resolutions like 1600x1200, since this will cause problems on pretty much every C&C map.

1. funpark.bat:
This patch will add a file called Funpark.bat, which will launch C&C95 in dinosaur missions mode. To start the new dinosaur campaign, click Start New Game on the main menu and choose any side.

2. Savegames:
A problem occurs when loading Funpark savegames straight from the main menu: when finishing or restarting the mission you will get thrown out of the dino campaign and end up in the corresponding GDI mission. To get around this, first start a new dinosaur campaign from the main menu and then load the savegame once you're ingame.

When you open conquer.ini and scroll down to the [Advanced] section, you'll see the same options that could already be enabled with my old CCOptions.exe program. These options have always been meant to be in conquer.ini, but needed a special string value to be activated. Since these strings were encoded inside the exe file, only one was found so far: the "Scores" option needed to have the value "remix" to activate.

Rather than searching for all the other encoded strings, I recoded this section into simple booleans. Just put an option to "1" to activate it, and "0" to disable it. The only exception to this is "Players", which actually allows you to set the number of LAN players (2 to 6).

Be careful when changing these options; the ones that actually affect gameplay will most probably cause multiplayer incompatibility. The options of which I am sure they don't affect multiplayer compatibility are "TrueNames", "TreeTarget", "Scores", "Sounds", "NoEgoScreen" and "MultiplayMusic", since they only affect the game's input and output, and not the actual game behaviour. I'm not sure if the Players option will cause incompatibility or just allow you to make LAN games with a customized limit to the amount of players.

Skirmish games can be played by starting a network game without additional human players, but with the "AI players" option enabled. Older versions didn't allow LAN games to start without human players, but v1.06 makes an exception if AI players are used instead.

To start a skirmish game, go to Multiplayer -> Network and click New to start a new LAN game. On the Network Game Setup screen, select the map and game options you want, enable the AI players option and start the game by clicking the OK button.

When playing in this mode, you must keep these things in mind:

• The AI players have no base, just units. These will attack you one by one, giving you a constant stream of attackers to fend off. You win the game when all enemy units are destroyed.
• You must set starting units to at least 1, otherwise the game will finish right away, since the AI players have no MCV.
• The AI players do not attack eachother. They will team up against you.
• All available player slots will be filled up with AI players. The default number of LAN players in C&C v1.06 is six, meaning you will have five AI players attacking you simultaneously. You can reduce the number of enemies by editing the "Players=" option in the [Advanced] section of conquer.ini
• Since this is really just LAN without players, skirmish games can not be paused or saved. So keep in mind that opening the main menu will NOT pause the game.

External addons:

• Scorpio9a's LAN patch (thipx32.dll)
• Funpark launcher program (funpark.bat) for playing the dinosaur missions

Code upgrades:

• VK's 1.05 patch (fixes top-of-map reconnaissance crash, adds native XP compatibility)
• Komfr's stealth crash fix (fixes a crash when the stealth animation is played on the right half of the bottom edge of the screen)
• Fixed the "/?" help parameter
• Fixed the empty error box when the game fails to set the video mode (which can happens when setting the game resolution to 640x400)
• High resolution available, with centered menus and a large version of the title screen for a more finished look (no centered vids yet, sorry)
• LAN play expanded to six players
• Default multiplayer tech level set to maximum (7)
• Skirmish mode enabled (note that AI players don't have bases, only units)
• Capture The Flag games with AI players are now possible. The "Bases" button now has 4 states: Bases On, Capture The Flag, Bases Off and Mobile HQ (note that AI players get a Mobile HQ in normal Capture The Flag mode too)
• Enabled music in multiplayer (was originally disabled because it was streamed from slow CD-ROM drives, which could cause lag/desyncs)
• Campaign missions will now show briefing text at the start of the mission if no briefing video can be shown
• Fixed a bug that prevented the music from starting when a mission from the New Missions menu had a Briefing video set
• Dinosaur graphics are always visible, even outside of Funpark mode
• The end of the funpark dinosaur campaign no longer exits the game, but goes to the main menu instead
• Chan's name is shown (it now shows "Scientist" instead of "Civilian")
• The Hospital's name is now always visible to the player, even if it is owned by the enemy
• The Hospital can no longer be sold. It wasn't sellable in the original C&C; this was a bug in C&C95
• A primary building can be selected for helipads, so people can prevent newly built helicopters from flying to their base from the edge of the map
• Civilian buildings no longer decay for no reason
• Fixed the Rocket Launcher graphics bleed
• Fixed a Chem Warrior behaviour bug; for some reason it had the civilian panic behaviour
• When the multiplayer coloured sides are used in single player missions, they no longer show up as grey on the radar
• The missions in the New Missions menu can now be played with any C&C CD
• Added "update*.mix" reading system for updates (same as "sc*.mix" addons)

• Added an option in conquer.ini to disable score screens
• Added an option in conquer.ini to enable funpark dinosaur campaign mode
• Added an option in conquer.ini that allows disabling the music in multiplayer (like it was originally)
• The game now uses the strings "Yes" and "No" on the Abort Mission message, instead of "Abort" and "Cancel" (mainly done because of language compatibility issues. Both in French and in German, "abort" and "cancel" translate to the same word)
• Added black tiles for fixing map borders of small missions in high resolution
• Changed internal strings management to read certain previously-hardcoded strings from the external strings file instead

Graphics updates:

• Shadow of the Construction Yard fixed, so it remains like it is at the end of the MCV deploy animation
• The Rocket Launcher now has its launcher aimed 45 degrees up, as it should

• Added world map animation strings to the strings file (for language compatibility)

Mission updates:

• Added the Covert Operations missions

• scb10ea (destroy mammoth prototypes): fixed map error near start location
