[–] Spritkopf@lemm.ee 4 points 3 years ago (2 children) Nice! Any Idea where to get the game files for Tiberian Dawn? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Imnecomrade@lemmygrad.ml [S] 7 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) The GDI and Nod discs from this do work, but you can search for more discs on archive.org and other places to get other disc images for The First Decade, Covert Operations, etc.: https://archive.org/details/command-and-conquer-tiberian-dawn You may also find discs here: https://cncnz.com/features/freeware-classic-command-conquer-games/ OpenRA's wiki mentions these locations: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content#downloading-original-game-cds Here's a list of discs you can find on archive.org (I still have to test them):Tiberian Dawn GDI and Nod Discs https://archive.org/details/command-and-conquer-tiberian-dawn The First Decade https://archive.org/details/cnctfd-game-disc The Covert Operations https://archive.org/details/command-and-conquer-the-covert-operations-1996-westwood-studios-cd Red Alert Red Alert 95 Allied and Soviet Discs (I think) https://archive.org/details/command-conquer-red-alert_202309 The First Decade https://archive.org/details/cnctfd-game-disc Worldwide Warfare Gold GDI & Nod, Covert Operations, Red Alert Allied and Soviet, Counterstrike, Aftermath, Tiberian Sun (Demo) https://archive.org/details/cc_worldwide_warfare Dune 2000 Dune 2000 Disc https://archive.org/details/dune-2000-2001-ea-westwood-studios-cd Tiberian Sun Not included in mod but available to test if built with source: Issue, Milestone Command & Conquer Collection Tiberian Sun, Firestorm, Red Alert 2, Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge, Renegade, Generals (Demo) I don't know if any of these are necessary or if I am missing any potentially supported expansions/content, but this seemed like a good collection to post for future reference. https://archive.org/details/TheCommandConquerCollection To install the discs when prompted, mount the isos to one of these locations on Linux: /media/openra /media/{user}/openra /mnt/openra https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content#linux You can use this tool to mount the disc: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/FuseISO Make sure the directory has appropriate permissions to mount like so: sudo chmod 777 /mnt/openra Then mount with FuseISO: fuseiso /path/to/iso /mnt/openra In OpenRA, click Detect Disc or Installation (or Retry if you are already on that page) and it should be able to detect the disc and extract the files. You can unmount and delete the directory (or mount and install other discs first before deleting the directory, of course) when OpenRA finishes extracting the files: fusermount -u /mnt/openra sudo rmdir /mnt/openra I am assuming for the non-disc archives, you would be able to either copy or symlink the extracted files to one of the supported mount points, and the game should be able to detect the content. Downloads are taking a while so I haven't been able to test yet to confirm. OpenRA does let you download the base game files plus some other content and patches from the internet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Spritkopf@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago Holy shit, thank you so much for such a detailed answer. I will try it out for sure, the "first decade" edition looks awesome. Cheers permalink fedilink source parent
