C&C Tiberian Dawn Redux
Subject description: If you didn't like The First Tiberian War, there is a new deal for TD on Zero Hour!
Few days ago I've got an email from sgtmyers88 about the release of his mod. And, it is a quite interesting one.
He has recently released C&C Tiberian Dawn Redux, which is a total conversion that brings the GDI and Nod from Tiberian Dawn into Generals: Zero Hour. Ok, I know what some of you may think: "Hey, I've seen it before!". Yes, the purpose is the same, but the result is a bit different.
This version of the mod includes GDI and Nod original units, the original scores and... what TFTW did not have: the 6 first missions for GDI and Nod totally recreated with FMVs included! Awesome, isn't it? For the curious people, this mod also has a dozer like unit to build the structures and harvester does collect tiberium. What I don't know is if the tiberium spreads.

Another half-assed TD hack with dozers. Great.
People can't come up with their own ideas rather than remaking C&C95? _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
Lol, I'm so glad I didn't say what carno said or I would look ridiculous now!

I actually am not. I was trying for something new, but it really is a waste of my time. So I don't bother with it anymore. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

This is horrible... they took all buildings straight out of Renegade, never cared to implement any kind of actual MCV build style, and the C&C1 mission remakes for Generals were posted on the Den a LONG time ago. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Guys, I'd honestly appreciate if people start making their opinions more constructive, instead of simply saying that this is a pile of shit. The mod is new and it has a lot to be done to be improved. Thanks in advance. QUICK_EDIT
I like the GDI sde(bottom?)bar,although maybe solid colours would look better than the grey static.
I was working on somthing similair (DaFool's Rules) where I added renegade stuff to the zero hour stuff, but I only did that as my first mod to teach myself how to mod ZH. I don't think I will actually finish it, as I am much to addicted to KW at the moment. I kinda want to do either a doom mod or a civilization mod..... but I can't 3d model on gmax for my life. I am somewhat decent on Anim8or, but that works screwy on Vista, so for now I make maps. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Those humvees and APCs look pretty close to those in the FMVs...I might DL this once I clear some space. Maybe then I'll have something positive to say about this mod. Looks promising. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Oh come on, Banshee. Any fool can take some public assets or Renegade models and squeeze them into Zero Hour. Don't tell me this deserves credit. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT

Chiel, that doesn't matter. What I don't want is to see an uber arrogant and n00bish community here. I want this place to be nice and friendly for everyone. So, tone down your comments and if you don't have any constructive suggestion to post, don't post here. QUICK_EDIT
Ima put RA1 assets into RA2 to finish MV in that case, but then again... Nobody cares about MV anyways... _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT

Yeah ztype your mod. I'm going to go jerk off at some out of date TO screens. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
TDR is a good mod but it isn't one of the best. The developement started not very long ago and has a long way to go. As far as I know sgtmyers88 didn't want it to be exactly like TD but TDish. _________________ Last edited by Tore on Sat Jun 14, 2008 7:54 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT

you dont?
HAHAHAHA
Oh wow.
srsly bansh, you always manage to crack me up. XD _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
Constructive criticism:
I don't like the MCV/dozer too much, it looks like they got a model then shrank it.
That hummer needs re-doing.
I dislike the APC's turret
The mammoth is high on size and low on detail, red-address it please.
Some of those buildings are awfully low quality.
The flame tank is the wrong stle, model it after the TD FMV ones
Please make your own maps, don't just take the public ones, any fool can do that.
That constructive enough? Or does this post get deleted? _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
Oh okay. Since we'll support any old crap. I'll brb. I'm going to put some TS voxels into RA2. I'll call it Tiberian Sun Remade!
That's exactly what you did with your TS to RA(1.5) mod lol
But anyway, if I'd have to judge the mod from its looks I don't like it much since it still prettymuch looks (and feels) like Generals with some TD stuff in it. I haven't played it, so I can't judge that.
I'd personally say TFTW is better, if it wasn't for the bug which made it lag unbearably (which prettymuch took away all the fun).
I'm just going to wait until the Tiberian Dawn mod (yeah, they could've made up a better name for the mod...) for C&C3 is released; that one looks pretty promising _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Well, I am surprised at the feedback (good and bad), and I must say thank you for all that was posted! Yes, I have been experimenting with modding for quite a while now as this project was my first big mod, yes it not perfect and needs improvements, I wanted to recreate the campaigns from scratch and eventually get ALL the missions remade in 3D, plus add improvements to the units and themes from TD. Yes tiberium does grow and does damage to troops, and the AI has been carefully scripted to be made to work on all settings for both sides! I have taken flak and praise before during development of TDRv1.1, this was just a little project that I mostly done MYSELF, but I finally got help and I am now learning to model. I liked ZH RA2 and TD the most and so I chose to use ZH to make this mod. (inspired by the RA3 ZH mod) If you love or hate it thats fine, but Im still gonna do the project and CONTINUE to make it BETTER, so at least myself and the growing dev team and the fans will have something to enjoy on the aging ZH game. No matter what if C&C3 or RA3 mods are better! Thank you everyone and have a great day! QUICK_EDIT
Well, one thing I would suggest is to edit the terrain to look more similar to the TD terrain and also try and give a darker feeling to the overall setting.
Also, try and get the Construction Yard build system to work (instead of the dozer build system), and possibly also a sidebar instead of a bottom bar (TFTW and TS Rising already did this I believe). _________________ QUICK_EDIT
It mainly is indeed, although I put a little more effort in it Plus, putting RA2 assets in TS leaves you with a downgraded RA2, while DTA is more like an upgraded TD
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that the TD Redux mod isn't bad because of the fact it took models from Renegade or used public assets, because IMO how he did it or what he did isn't important (as long as he didn't do anything illegal or whatever of course ); the final result is.
And right now the final result just something which looks like C&C Generals with TD stuff in it and which doesn't feel like TD at all (and I don't think you'll deny this is also the case RA 1.5; it feels like TS with RA2 stuff in it). _________________ QUICK_EDIT

I wasen't intending on cloning Red Alert 2, dispite you beleiving this. I just was sick of the Nod buildings, and I heeded your advice that the mod 'needed some placeholders' after you and crashking bitched about the Tesla Coil using the image of the Nod obelisk.

GDI: Task Force Talon

Sweeeet... I made a huey like helicopter, and i saw something on Revora AG said and it made me think it might be a bad idea to have the Tank's MGs that powerful, so they're gonna have a prone damage of about 25% _________________ Yes, work on MV continues. It is not forgotten. QUICK_EDIT
Yes this Mod is for C&C Generals Zero Hour. And yes this Mod has been given an overhaul with graphics and with the addition of a conyard system for all sides along with new missions and a subfaction for GDI and Nod.
Version 1.2 is scheduled to release in December 2008.

Well, progress is always good. But I just don't have the room on my hard drive to have both DOW AND ZH........ _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!
If your after hosting go to Fallout Studios. There more directed towards mods from ZH onwards. PPM is good but it more suited to mods before ZH;) QUICK_EDIT

Shut up, man. PPM hosts any C&C mod, including for newer games. We actually want to host more mods for newer games, but it is thanks to the crap that people like you say that this task becomes harder. QUICK_EDIT
