So yeah, after several months of silence at forums it's time for some news again. First, i have made small test video showing almost 6 mintues of Phantom units in action. (sorry about resolution/SFX volume though.)
Well, a Happy New Year to you all on this first news post of 2009.
So, at the start of the new year, here's what's happening in the C&C3 community:
- The 2008 Mod of the Year Awards have now begun. Head over to ModDB to vote for your favourite mod. Two of our own hosted mods - Only War 2 and Galaxy at War are both eligible for voting, so be sure to give them a look.
- C&C Renovatio have posted up another well-crafted blog update, as well as releasing some new screenshots.
- Tiberian Dawn have also posted up some new renders, and a blog update.
- Remember to download Kane's Wrath Patch 1.02 if you haven't already. Simply head to the EA Site to grab the EXE file, or just hit the Check for Updates option within the Kane's Wrath UI. The changelist for the patch can be seen in an earlier news post here.
That's it for this week. Hope you have a good start to 2009.
Our very good friends at CNCNZ.com have just released their final Roundtable for the year.
QUOTE
The Roundtable Discussion feature here on CNCNZ.com is where the CNCNZ.com staff and selected people from the C&C community all come together to share their opinions about the most interesting or biggest news topics. The invited people could be from other well known sites or people who contribute to the C&C community in various other ways. One thing is for sure the answers given are not sugar coated, they are presented to you as honest opinions.
I was invited to take part in this roundtable representing CNCRA3.net and covers topics like: C&C in 2008, Disappointments of 2008, C&C Announcements for 2009, Has the C&C Community evolved, Final Words for 2008.
note, DL links may go inactive if traffic is too high plus server move expected.
as for announcement, 2009 marks the coming of developer betas since sadly, mod is not ready for proper release so weekly basis 2 or more people are invited of the most active fans/involved so stay tuned for its launch and no, going spam forums and such now is pointless, those who have been active etc are noted for this already.
Just a quick new years present for ya I have wanted to make the Mörser Karl Gerät 040 again since I started redoing all the units but it hasn't been a priority (plus it's a bloody complex unit!). I started on it a few months ago & have been slowing doing a few bits here & there, I'm still not done too as I have yet to make the deplyed version >.> (It will work a bit like the siege chopper) I might also link it too a superweapon as well (EMP cannon etc) considering it's 1 round every 10min ROF
I hope you've all had a good Christmas. News is a bit late this week both due to the festivities and some little technical issues I've been having, but have no fear, I'm still here... unfortunately for you.
Right, over the Christmas week, the modding community has had the following developments:
- One of our hosted mods - Only War 2 - has a news update. Be sure to check it out. (Link). You can also check out their work on their ModDB profile here. - Sigma Invasion have some new screenshots posted up. - Red Zone Europe have a Christmas update showing off some new toys in the mod. - Alternate Warfare have released a download that claims to restore the General Points system from C&C Generals and Zero Hour into C&C3. - C&C Renovatio has posted up a rather well designed Christmas update. - Asylum have posted up a couple of new screenshots.
And that's it for this week, and indeed for 2008. See you all in the new year.
I've been really busy with Xmas & everything but I have been working hard on D-day whenever I have a few free hours. I have mainly concentrated on the Soviets which are nearing completion with just a few buildings left to do!
& here are a few few previews too.

I'm away for new years & most of Jan but I'll have more in depth info & pics on the finished soviet side when I'm back at home.
Have no fear! We've managed to fight off the mighty hordes of video-game insanities that has been crashing into the walls of our fair fortress of spare time and modding hours!
The last 4 months have been mad on the amazing game release side.. or at least it has been for me as the mad gamer i am (and probably most modders with me) so work has been basically standing still but I've started work on a Shrine (name not yet decided) for the Imperial Guard which will act as their basic source of income.
Also Only War 2 is now basically a One man show starring me (come to think about it, that's really how it's been all along..) not counting the coding that was done a couple months ago by Torn.
Still, there's something for you to see and drool over until the shrine is done and I get on to the 2d bits (commandbars and such) that need doing, the first pictures are some images we never uploaded of the now properly working firing effect for the Hellhound, second is the.. well.. pretty self explanatory some more civ props I did a couple months ago, and lastly there's the Marauder Bomber which we will be using as a Special Power and civilian prop (and eventually most likely as a controllable air unit).
Until next time, whenever that may be, Emperor Protects.
Oh, and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
- Red Zone Europe is a total conversion mod that aims to convert C&C3 to a half modern combat, half sci-fi game. It features two factions, the Western Coalition, and the European Union Defense Force. Some renders and screenshots are up already, so be sure to check it out.
- Tiberium Essence have uploaded version 1.2 of their mod. It fixes some graphical issues in the mod, as well as making some balance adjustments.
