  • 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)

    Disclaimer, I'm one of the devs for it.

  • TiberianDawnHD

    binary compatible OpenRA mod that uses Command & Conquer: Remastered assets

  • All the art and sound assets come from a legally purchased copy of C&C, specifically the "C&C Remastered Collection" on Steam or Origin. OpenRA uses the assets from that, so it's all legal! Stratagus does the same thing with Warcraft assets.
