Well its been a while since the community has heard of anything from me or the progress of BTS. Many things have been happening in my life and most are over now so i can start modding again. Well ill show you some pictures of some unfinished work in progress at the moment, bare in mind there is still much to be done. Also Sleepwalker is working on some terrain and Rico is refining the story line alittle. Bittah commander will also be looking into alittle coding as well. Thank you for your efforts so far. And Gangster, if you find alittle time to mod your more than welcome to come back at any time.

These are some very nice voxels.

You seem to have found some schemes that work well too, which isn't easy in the RA2 palettes.

Here are some American units with the final American camo scheme. Also these pics have been taken in TS to simulate the TS terrain and lighting i want RA2 to have.

Dude, ztyping awesome.

But wouldn't they be too small in RA2, if they look like this in TS?

I've just fallen in love with that MRLS! Amazing work, Sam. Smile

@z : Just because i've fallen in love with the MRLS, does not mean i'm not gonna be with, Maria, sorry to have gotten your hopes up, Mr. Emo! #Tongue

@z They actuallly dont look to bad in RA2, theres pics of some of the units when they where in progress on the top.

@Ickus The mammy in the sig is actually sanes, this was for his mod TD:CS which has now stopped.

Well there will be more shortly and some russian units will be finished shortly as well.

@ Aro - you wish, emo. Need some new Gillettes? :p

@ Dregan - I ment size-wize. Particullarly the Hummer would be as big as the vanilla RA2 infantry. Unless you've resized them :p

hehe yeah, those infs in the pics above are acatually resized to td size, i think the size of even ts infs where too big.

Well now that the SDK is released im considering moving BTS to cnc3, I will have to learn how to model in 3d and how to code cnc3. both shouldn't take long to do. I guess this is just a natural progression in the advancement of technology and games in general. All of the core aspects of the mod will remain the same and same with the story that I and few others have worked on over the past 6 months.

Ah... I heard bout Sane's mod. :[ oh well. see how it goes.

with that said one can wonder what new opportunities this move will bring to this mod.

-good luck. Wink

Thanx for that Ickus, and it will be interesting to see what this move brings. Though i am itching to move i have to finish the work i have with TSD first. I will also be remaking TSD in cnc3 as well.
