The Dawn of the Tiberium Age has seen a good number of additions and improvements this year and we're still going strong!

Of these mentioned additions and improvements, some notable ones are new units, improved naval and overall balance, improved stability and compatibility, multiplayer saves, many new maps and of course a good number of Co-Op missions such as "Chrono Hazard" and "Freezing Offensive".


If you've already seen these Co-Op play-through videos, fear not: you can look forward to a play-through video of the "Double Team" Co-Op mission this Friday.

And as you might have guessed, since the year is almost over it's of course time to vote for the Mod of the Year again.

So if you feel DTA deserves it, please drop a vote if you haven't already and if you can't pick, just remember that you can vote for as many mods as you like.

Ditto.

Btw, a little off-topic, I'm not sure if it's a new Moddb feature or not, but I really like how the small previews of GIFs are also animated.

The two explosions on the header are also a nice touch, too bad they only play once Sad

Animated GIF previews are indeed a new Mod DB feature.

The two explosions in the header actually do loop, but only once every two minutes in order to not be too distracting.

Take all my votes! To be honest DTA is the only mod that has ever maintained my attention. That is an EXTREMELY difficult task.

Continue your diligent work and I will continue on my "projects".

Voted +1 for DTA

Edit : The video of Freezing Offensive is very cool, I like to see the screen of each players.  Smile
I don't remember to have so many units at the start of the mission...

It was edited recently. The powerful, special commandos were replaced by a bunch of Rifle infantry and Rocket infantry.

Oh, ok, so it's a "secret change log".  Razz
As always, it's very impressive to see your skill on DTA, I remember to have a hard time to finish this map with a friend on normal difficulty. I'm not like Bittah who move his MCV for a ore spot surround of fog of war at 4min in the video. XD (especially after see so many tanks on the other side of the bridge at the begining)

By the way, sometime in the video you use hotkey, right ? There is a list somewhere for all hotkey of DTA ?

Actually, that's me. I'm purple, while Bittah is blue.

But yeah, to get enough resources to defend against the massive Commando + tank rush on Hard (beginning from 8:15), you need to be aggressive (but careful) in the beginning. If you're too slow, you might survive against that attack, but die against the next one (I was fairly close to dying here too, I might've died had the AI not been dumb at 10:20).

Overall, it's a quite difficult mission on Hard (there's a big gap compared to Medium). Far from impossible, but quite difficult. Looking at statistics, it took me and Bittah 15 tries until we beat it for the first time, although after that we've been able to beat it consistently with the tactics shown in the video.

You can check them in-game. Options menu -> Game Controls -> Keyboard.

Wait what? I didn't know you can have difficulty-specific triggers in TS. Did you fix it via a hack or a workaround?

Work-around. The missions for different difficulty levels simply use different maps, with difficulty level adjustments #Tongue

That being said, the client actually makes it possible to have difficulty-specific triggers. You can create globals in Rules.ini for different difficulty levels, and then the client could activate those globals on game start by injecting a trigger into the map. Then you can check if a specific global is set to determine the used difficulty level. The client already does this for single-player missions in DTA, btw. It would be easy to enable it for multiplayer as well.

Co-Op missions simply use separate maps for different difficulty levels, which means that the difficulty levels can be made different in any way we like.
This was implemented before another work-around was added to also make it possible to have difficulty-specific triggers for singleplayer missions however. In DTA the client now checks which difficulty level a mission or campaign is started with and then adds a trigger to the map that'll enable a global (Difficulty Easy, Difficulty Medium or Difficulty Hard). This global is then used as the event for certain triggers so that they won't fire if the global is or isn't set.

Edit: got ninja'd Embarassed
