Short about the upcoming 1.06c update for C&C95

[Tore]

Nyerguds has been working on 1.06c a lot in the past months and has worked up a large changelog. The most notable change is the removal of the funpark mode. The Dinosaur missions will get their own link in the New Missions menu using 1.06c's all new mini-campaign system. This also means that mini campaigns with up to 10 missions can now be created!

 

Parts of the changelog that are of particular interest:

• Added numbers before the multiplayer game mode, so people see there are 4 of them (for example: "[2/4] Capture The Flag")
  
• Fixed the firing sound of the SAM site
  
• The steel crate pickup animation now plays for both sides
  
• The computer opponent can no longer capture your Advanced Communications Center
  
• The Advanced Communications Center is no longer capturable in multiplayer games
  
• Dinosaur campaigns added as two mini-campaigns (one for GDI, one for Nod), and put at the top of the New Missions list
  
• Mission-specific house colour changes, controlled with ini keys in the mission file
  

 

There are a lot more changes in 1.06c; those listed are just a few I thought people might be interested in. Read the full changelog here.

@Nyerguds: When do you think you'll be releasing 1.06c patch for Command and Conquer Tiberian Dawn?

[Tore]

He will release it no sooner than "When it's done!"

[Ferret]

I wantz it nao though...

 

Can't wait though. xD

 

Now is a good time to be patient which I am not good at.

[Nyerguds]

probably somewhere in the summer... internship is giving me little free time, and many tired evenings.

[OmegaBolt]

Really can't wait for this. Can't you knock the Nod EVA thing off the list?

The steel crate pickup animation now plays for both sides

 

Funny how I never noticed this until recently when I replayed the early GDI missions. I just thought I had some temporary bug that didn't allow it to show up.

[Nyerguds]

no, it was actually done intentionally... not a clue why. It looks odd how it just disappears for GDI.

 

Can't you knock the Nod EVA thing off the list?

What do you mean? It'd only be a modding feature anyway... I'm not making any changes to the original game that aren't fixes.

[Crimsonum]

Well the anim is weird anyway, at least it doesn't fit to a crate with nuclear rods I recall it was somehow linked with the cut microwave (EMP) weapon?

[Nyerguds]

The animation is called EMPULSE, but that's it. The microwave weapon idea was scrapped long before they actually made the game. It just seems they started with some concept videos, like the powersuit and EMP one.

[MrFlibble]

Judging by how some of the ideas for TD that did not go beyond concept sketches or videos were later implemented in TS, I guess the principle of the EMP weapon was akin to its namesake in TS.

 

As for Nod EVA, I think the voice announcements could be "borrowed" from Renegade

[Nyerguds]

no, the TD EMP weapon was much more cruel... cooked the crew inside the vehicle, and sparked on to other nearby vehicles. A very detailed explanation was given on some of the concept pictures.

[MrFlibble]

no, the TD EMP weapon was much more cruel... cooked the crew inside the vehicle, and sparked on to other nearby vehicles.

I think EA "recycled" this concept either in Generals or its add-on, didn't they?

[Nyerguds]

Not a clue, never played those much
