Command & Conquer Gold Patch v1.06c

This patch will update Command & Conquer Gold to version 1.06c revision 3. This version includes several program bug fixes, graphics updates, mission fixes and new features, like higher resolutions, a language addon system, and lots of new options for making missions and mods.

This is not an official patch. It is created by Nyerguds, who is not responsible if this patch somehow manages to ruin your game, eat your hard disk or cause martians to land in your back yard.

* Use at your own risk.


The patch is compatible with both The First Decade and the CD version of C&C95. That includes the C&C95 ISOs which EA has released. When the patch is installed on a First Decade installation, it will automatically enable the game's ini-controlled no-CD mode.

The game can run in any resolution now, without restriction to the inbuilt 640x400 / 640x480 / 1024x768 modes
Added a new setup tool (CCConfig.exe), with integrated options for CnC-DDraw's advanced settings and windowed mode support
Videos, score screens, mission selection screens etc no longer have black lines in them, and can be stretched to fullscreen in hi-res using CnC-DDraw
A new language system allows people to make their own language addons
The original Japanese language from console versions (unit and EVA speech only, no text)
The dinosaur campaigns no longer need Funpark mode; they are added as two single items (one for GDI, one for Nod) in the New Missions list
The New Missions menu will now list missions with numbers up to 999 instead of 99
The Multiplayer maps will now list maps with numbers up to 255 instead of 99
The SAM site now has a sound when firing its rockets

The ability to easily choose one of four LAN game modes by clicking on the "Bases" button
Missing team 0 bug fixed: all teams from 0 to 9 can be assigned and used now, like it was in DOS C&C


2. Known bugs:

The game has some minor problems with missions that are smaller than the game resolution. This will cause some graphical errors.
When playing in any resolution higher than 640x400, you can't place buildings with a placement height of only one cell on the lowest row of cells on the map.
