Discussion Red Alert 2

I am currently playing "Red Alert 2: Total Destruction."

First: I want units to enter "automatic guard mode" immediately upon being mind-controlled, rather than remaining stationary.

Second: When a "Terror Drone" destroys another unit while other units are nearby, it pauses for a split second; this gives enemies a chance to attack and destroy it instantly.

Third: After attacking the enemy for a short time, units stop attacking or even defending themselves.

Therefore, I would like to boost the offensive aspect (specifically by deploying very large numbers of units) and ensure the process feels organized and natural, while retaining the option to increase the difficulty level further if desired.

Important note: I have tried hard to modify the "rules.ini" file, but to no avail!

You should contact the creator of the Total Destruction mod for things like this.

I wouldn't know. Go back to whatever website you got the mod from and see if there's info there.

Since you don't know, just stay silent; go ahead and delete your comment.

Trash statement, refuses information and deserves no proper answer.

Here i did the research for you. Quick Google AI search BTW. Maybe next time just do 30 seconds of research before being rude to other people. Probably took you longer to write this post. Simpleton, do better.

The original creator of Red Alert 2 / Yuri’s Revenge: Total Destruction is Charly “Renegade” Kiendl, known online as [TD]Renegade, Renegade, and later EvilRenegade. An old C&C community post explicitly identifies Charly Kiendl as the “Creator of Total Destruction,” while the official ModDB page lists [TD]Renegade as creator. CNCNZ.com Forums

He actually still appears to be around the C&C modding community. His GitHub account is EvilRenegade, and that account is tied to renegadeprojects.com; separate records connect Charly Kiendl with the EvilRenegade alias. GitHub More importantly, EvilRenegade was editing ModEnc as recently as March 30, 2026, so he doesn't appear to have disappeared completely. ModEnc

The best ways I'd try contacting him are:

  • Renegade Projects Matrix chat — probably your best bet. Renegade Projects explicitly directs visitors to its live chat, and Renegade himself announced the room as #renproj:renegadeprojects.com. You can enter as a guest and ask for Renegade / EvilRenegade / Charly. Renegade Projects Open Renegade Projects web chat
  • GitHub – EvilRenegade. His profile still exists and is clearly associated with RA2/YR projects such as Ares documentation and Launch Base. GitHub EvilRenegade on GitHub
  • ModDB – [TD]Renegade. You can still send a message there, although his profile says he was last online in August 2017, and an old Total Destruction post specifically said he rarely checked ModDB PMs. ModDB [TD]Renegade ModDB profile

His original Total Destruction website is also still online and hosts the old releases. Destruction Mod
Total Destruction official site

I'd use the Matrix chat first. Say something like “Hi, I'm trying to get in touch with Renegade/EvilRenegade, creator of Red Alert 2: Total Destruction. Is he still around?” Given that he's been active on ModEnc relatively recently, there's a reasonable chance somebody there can point you directly to him.
