Hi guys!

I vaguely remember playing some single player mission in DTA involving 2 Cyborgs (nod hero units, iirc there were 2 of them, among with some other less significant units) sabotaging the enemy base... But I can't remember what was its name. -_-

Can anyone help?

Hi, I'm new to DTA and a friend of OP. For clarification I was pestering him about the mission he remembers to the point of making him ask on the forum because I want to play it.

What he, and I, would like to know is: Is there supposed to be a playable NOD campaign (with cyborg hero units)?

If yes, then where is it or how can I access it?

If not, then what is OP remembering and why are there .ini configurations for a campaign that doens't exist? (There are also configurations for a second campaign for GDI that doesn't exist and I don't mean "Under Siege II".)

There's no single player mission that fits your description, but there's a co-op mission, [2] Disguised Manipulation.

I can't see any such INI configurations. (technically GDI has two campaigns though, TTD and the tutorial campaign)

Have you looked in \INI\MapSel.ini? I'll copy just a bit, I got this from a fresh install using the installer. In spoilers because it's pretty long

TTE01 etc refers to maps that actually exist in my Maps\Missions folder, GDI01 etc on the other hand... Do the map names look familiar to you? It's definitely not the tutorial. Similar settings exist called NOD01 etc, referring to maps like NOD1A.MAP etc. (NOD00 is not commented out unlike GDI00)

Ah, you meant MapSel.ini rather than Battle.ini. The GDIXX and NODXX entries there are for campaign missions that were / are in development but have been abandoned or haven't been finished yet.

That's not entirely the explanation I was hoping for, but pretty close with enough patience maybe. Very Happy

Hmm. I somehow remember running with 2 cyborgs supported by a few other troops, on a temperate scenario, with lots of running away from big enemy chasing waves, but totally can't remember much other details. The enemy was closer to the northwest map corner...
