Supporting both CD & noCD versions
#1
I'd like to support both noCD and normal CD versions with a single executable (for RA2). Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
Normal noCD patches cause the exe to fail when some files are on the CD.

If you're talking about the noCD command on Ares, the files must be copied over. Of course, we don't support pirating so I wouldn't be able to say about noCD patches and the like.

Try out TFD's executables, they were no-CD IIRC, but I dunno if they would also search stuff on the disc.

For YR, you'd have to copy multimd.mix and maps03md.mix into the game folder. In RA2, I guess, you'd have to copy the respective equivalents.
If you want to decide whether to apply the no-CD feature at runtime, you'd have to check for the files being present.

As well as theme(md).mix if you're wanting the original music to work.
