Can I install and/or load multiple mods at the same time? In C&C Generals and older C&C games, it is possible that mods can affect the original files and they can affect the entire game(s).ħ. Yes, a mod will not affect your main Red Alert 3 files, so it will not prevent you from playing normal RA3 games. When I install a mod, can I still play Red Alert 3? When you load a mod, it will prevent the user from playing in ranked online multiplayer games unless another user has the exact same version of the mod loaded.Ħ. Can I play online ranked multiplayer games when a mod is loaded? If nothing is changed in-game you have to go back to your mod folder and see what you did wrong or did not include.ĥ. Of course when you launch a skirmish game or single-player campaign you can see the actual gameplay changes. You can also check in the multiplayer list if you can join all games.

In some mods the main menu Graphical User Interface (or GUI) is changed or with custom art, or sounds.

How can I see whether a mod is loaded when I start the game? Red Alert 3 can be edited practically in almost anything, except for some hardcoded key parts of the game.Ĥ. What can be changed in a mod and what can’t? Often the goal is to make it more historical, but even this is a personal taste.ģ. There are different reasons why people can make a mod, sometimes it’s because the creator wants to add realism or just change statistics that he/she thinks should be changed to balance the game.

Mods are usually a combination of user created art (Skins, icons, and menu items) and modifications of the game statistics, and of course making total new units, with their own specifications. It’s a shorthand term which refers to people who change the basic game mechanics into something of their own creation (Although this only really applies to custom skins or other art). Note 3: GameFront links are no longer accepted. Note 2: Some of the answers to those questions that lead to an old official C&C forum no longer exist and may require updating from other users that can lead to other links or informative answers elsewhere. Some answers have been modified specifically for Red Alert 3. Note: The first seven questions are based from a modder (credits to Celestial for the info) from another gaming forum because the very first seven questions are informative and important. I want to make this FAQ as clear and comprehensive as possible. Please do not post anything else in this thread other than questions and their matching answers unless some topics are not covered in the FAQ. Just remember that some links that lead to “” are in German language. This is the Q&A thread that will answer most of the Mod SDK and WB questions regarding to Red Alert 3 and Uprising (some Q&A are from JonWil).
