I know I'm late again as it was suposed to be posted on saturday, but moving a site like PPM is not as easy as you think. So, I've pratically been busy in the whole weekend. Anyway, this beggining of october was certainly good for TS fans, for all the portfolios found and loads of tutorials from dEw_MaN for mappers (if he wants to donate some for us, we will reall appreciate ). But anyway, here's the news of the week:


Important:


- XCC Home Page: In this month, XCC Community Ladder will only be available in XWIS server. And, of course, for good, since in XWIS server the chat is enabled, quickmatch is better, in-game ranks are enabled and cheaters will have troubles (bans :. Go to XCC Homepage and download the tool that will make your Red Alert 2 access XWIS instead of WOL. Also, tell your friends to move to XWIS!


Tiberian Sun:


- TiberiumSun.com: TumSun visitors and staff have found many pictures of concepts of the Tiberium Refinery, Tiberium Silo, Missile Silo, Repair Bay, and Dropship Bay and old sketches of the Stealth Tank, Kodiak, Orca Transport, Scrin Ship, Tick tank and much more at Jack Martin's Portfolio's site. They've found also some other TS and TT concepts in many other portfolio's sites that were also unknown for 99,9% of the fans. Head yourself to TiberiumSun.com to check that out!

- Tiberian Sun Station: dEw_MaN has added some tutorials there and now they have 6 tutorials, specially map related ones (which is lacking here) about how to make tunnels work and how to make trains work. Really great job from dEw_MaN, worth your visit!

- TS: Savage War: Clazzy has added some graphics there for download, including a Nod version of a Wolverine.


Red Alert 2:


- C&C Reloaded: Since FS-21 will probably release it soon, by the end of the month, he decided to post 2 new screenshots. One of them was done in a Firestorm terrain which will be included. More info in C&C Reloaded site.

- Fenring Mod Productions: Fenring has announced several changes at YR Advanced 4, specially that he is removing useless units or overpowered units and adding some new features. Here's some of the changes he announced:

> Removed units:
-> Sabotuer < too powerful
-> Plasma Tank < worthless, might become secret tech
-> 666 Tank < way too powerful
-> Strike Tank < clone of Light Tank
-> Blazer Tank < worthless
-> Viral Jet < Yuri didn't need it
-> Aurora Fighter < replaced with better units

> Kirovs are now stolen tech since they're not very effective. They are now faster, cost 1500 and have less armor.
> Light Tanks now have an anti-infantry machine gun.
> The V3 Launcher was renamed the SCUD Launcher. The V- series is truly German anyway. The SCUD Launcher costs 2000 and requires a Battle Lab. It also has new explosion animations.

For more information, check Fenring's site.

- RADEN: Lion has added 1 new single player mission for YR called "Grinder" and 7 new YR maps, one of them receiving Lion's Thumbs Up.

- YR Argentina: YR Argentina has nothing more, nothing less than AlertSun, one of the best campaigns for YR made by ArgCmdr! Other than that, Arg also added a new YR mission, FlyingZs King Of The Hill for download.

- C&C Central: C&C Central has gained a place in Origin-Network, a new design and many new downloads. It's really much better, great job, The_Kid (with a light help from our nice admin Sk8erkid there ).

- CnC Guild: After we see a big news saying that CnC Guild would not accept hosts and they hosted us, RA2: Renegade, a mod that used to be hosted in a certain armageddon network, is now in CnC Guild. It's a high quality RA2/YR total conversion that will bring Renegade universe into it. You can check it's new forums here. Note: People are free to change their mind and that's what probably happened to Des08tor .

- RedAlert-2.com: X.A.A. Overmind has submitted the latest version of his mod, Apocalypse YR mod, for RedAlert-2.com. The mod has:
