The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party
Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

Ask HN: What older games are you playing through?
After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/
I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

OpenRA – Classic strategy games rebuilt for the modern era
You can import those from ISOs: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content but the campaign is not complete afaik as it needs to be re-built in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4989 (I think this is the related ticket)

Any way to play on a MacBook Pro?
Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.

- AI hit one of my obelisks while the deploy animation was going. Sent me ~1,000,00 power into the red. Deploying a GDI barracks fixed it later. Has anyone else seen this before?

Any way to play on a MacBook Pro?

Error trying to run CnCNet (C&C) on Linux Mint
There's also a project called Vanilla Conquer which is a perfect port of the originals based on open source code released with the remaster but it's not been packaged so it has to be built from source.

C&C: "Red Alert" and "Tiberian Dawn"s Linux ports added to Luxtorpeda
u/d10sfan has added Vanilla Conquer source port for Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn which are part of Command & Conquer Remastered Collection to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, native Linux ports of those games can be played as Steam games.
-
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn's Linux port added to Luxtorpeda for Steam
The title is misleading, OpenRA is not a linux port of Tiberian Dawn or Red Alert for that matter, its a fan clone game. Vanilla Conquer is a proper linux port of the original games based on the source code released for the remaster.

PSX Red Alert appreciation post
https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer is an open source build of the original C&C and Red Alert based on the source code released for the remaster. It needs the data from the original games but they are freeware and can be found dotted around the internet.

C&C Red Alert Remastered Map Editor
Neutral being uncapturable is probably due to https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer/issues/668 this bug because if I recall correctly, the neutral is considered to be allied to all other houses even if other houses aren't allied with them.
