Recruitment, to get this mod underway. All comments are welcome. AND if someone also tells me how to make my SHPs into GIF animations (you know, with the turret going around) I'll show you my slightly edited tanks. Command and Conquer: Cold War This is a mod I've wanted to make for a long time. The Aim is to create a modern feel combat game, with more realism and bring ALL the units into play. It'd also feature an attempt to bring sight range into the game by always keeping "shroud regrows" on. Some units you would almost ALWAYS need to be fielding, while others would suit your own style of play or for dealing with certain threats. Two obvious factions, America against Russia. It should be noted that the currents units of Red Alert will have their stats wiped, this is not built FROM old RA, it's a total remake in game mechanics. Men will die from about 1 shot from anything, while tanks would be virually indestructible to small arms fire. Tanks will have no sight, while men will have brilliant sight. Tanks will destroy light vehcles, but be prone to large amounts of infantry (anti-armour) especially becuase of their lack of sight. Artilly will have extreme range and damage and buildings will be almost immune to anything not MADE to take them out. etc This is just a few examples of what will be different. This is something that I've put alot of time into thinking about already, so please, if you have questions, ask. All things with a question mark will be dealt with as the mod progresses to see how things ballance.

I'm hoping so xD

I agree with Nyer, I've looked at quite a few, but maps, like nowhere to hide, green acres, Emerald highlands... there's nothing on them lol

Here is my next map, hope you guys like, please comment and critic it, thanks! The more constructive comments, the better the maps! MountainConfrontation.rar

What if I push that tiberium patch top right, all the way into the topright corner, so it's away from him? Also, do you think I need more tiberium down the bottom? They seem to be a bit short down there. But then, they seem to have better terrain for deffence... Thoughts guys? -White

There is no WP6, it goes from 0-5. Which one are you talking about?

It's funny you say that NetServer, because it's a remake of Lost Arena. I always loved lost arena's layout, but it had horrible starting positions (including, in the middle, yuk), and didn't allow people to get around enough (no left bridge). I like having choke points in maps, as it allows for more field strategy, but some of the choke points in the original were totally over the top. Another issue was that it didn't have enough tiberium, as you can see, that problem is now solved I've also rearranged the fields to help balance the starting positions. Thanks for the feed back, although, I was expecting some complaints so that I could change the map to suit peoples likings... apparently, I've done a not too badder job anyway. Perhaps I'll continue this and look through more of the old maps, try and vamp them up to this sort of standard. Please continue the feedback so I can make better maps, thanks guys. -White

My new map, please comment on it before I post it. I want to do any touch ups before I post. Please comment on the tib fields and start points. -White This one is now released, scm31ea. Will probably be updated, stay tuned. Frozen_Arena.rar

Fuck I love HeroQuest...

Cool. Can we get a time table up, so we all know when our first round matches are?

C&C Name: White Side: Nod Skill Level (Biased): Intermediate+ (I've progress to be made, but I feel I'm better than the average bear) What sort of times would the games be run at? remember that I'm in New Zealand, if the times are too crazy, I may have to pull out. I want to say this now as to not totally screw your tournament Cheese.

Yeah, it works. Thanks.

Yes I did load it, will it be ok if I just restart the mission? I can see it's the mission you have right there in your picture anyway.

Mission still crashing transport looks great though

Sweet, is that now released? or are you still about to upload?

two bugs to report. 1. My A-10s don't show up, but I can see what looks like the shadow of the yak. 2. On the GDI mission where you have to defend the Adv.Comm (I'm playing the one where it's in the south), when the timer runs outs (and the mission should complete), my game is crashing.

that actually uploaded now, or still just waiting on that?

That's EPIC, I didn't actually think you'd do that! Yeah, well the fact that it is just a picture that moves around (no moving animation) is why I said, as it seemed not to hard to do, nice load/unload animation too. That looks so cool! And very CnC95 well done! Talk about how it's strange that they disappear, I remind you that the RA1 transport, the tanks etc first drive on TOP of the unit before vanishing "inside", it didn't exactly look realistic as it was anyway, at least yours LOOK like landing craft. -Liam

hey, can you change the transport to look like the landing craft in CnC1. I know it'd be weird if it was loading stuff side on, or even that they disappear, because it's open topped, and that it'd have no loading animation. Even so, I like it, pretty please? lol I suspect you've already decided against, but I thought I'd spark some tank on it. BTW, awesome mod.

I've had 2 people say that the download for full RA + CS and AM is not working. Sorry if it is, and these people are just incompetent. -Liam

Should this be posted with the downloads FOR CnCnet? This small topic is the only place this download seems to be.

Lol, you made the buggy out of the minelayer... it has a deploy icon if you hover the mouse on it XD

Ah, I tried that too, but had issues building it and not having the whole game lock up, lol. I think it had something to do with the name bugging out, or something. Nice to see it can work though, the two big issues I was having was making the Bradley and the MRLS graphics... I think someones telling me to continue my mod... *eerie silence* Oh, and Nyer, hurry up and fix it for RA modders as well!

Hey, how did you make the IFV? I was wanting to make a Bradley for my own mod, but didn't know how to make a turreted unit that also carried guys. Well, the editor I had DID allow it... but then I couldn't deploy the men back out again (minor problem... lol).

Ah, fixed my problem. When I first installed I put it into a copied folder of RA (I wasn't sure if it'd ruin regular RA). After I realised it wouldn't damage it, I installed it into the regular directory and it works fine. Cool mod btw, I do like the new units too.
