For those of you who were waiting for the next version of RotD: It is there, but in a beta flavor, as there are a few features lacking and some problems.

Once I've uploaded the 2.5 beta (which happened just some minutes ago), I'm abandoning the mod.
This means:

I'll stop working on it. If someone else is willing to take it over and add features/fix bugs, he's allowed to do so.
People are NOT allowed to use any graphics from it, unless they ask me and I agree (and you need a good reputation as a modder and a very good reason why you want to use something, else I won't allow it).

Features of the 2.5 BETA are:
- all weapons have been re-balanced according to the value table Nyerguds gave me (thx for that!)
- New gfx for the helipad (a blend of the C&C1 pad and the TS Nod pad)
- some voxels tweaked (Flame Tank, Light Tank, SSM, Rocket Launcher), some new (Nod bike, Nod Artillery).
- more music in the mod itself, plus I'll upload 2 music packs containing the rest of them.
- some fixes to the terrain (including replacement of the white tiles)
- "New Campaign"-button enabled, some test missions can be played.

known issues:
- when i start a skirmish game, then leave it, then try to start another one, I get an internal error. It seems not to be related to the winter terrain, as this happens with desert maps as well.
If anyone can find a solution for this, I'd be glad if he fixes it, but I won't, I'm in lack of the time and the motivation to do any more bug-hunting.

I want to thank all the beta-testers and especially Jokeman for the buildings, Nyerguds for the exe icon & the precise infos of TD, and Banshee for hosting the mod here, and of course all other ppl that play(ed) and support(ed) the mod, helping it to become one of the biggest TS mods out there.

PS: I'm abandoning RotD, but that doesn't mean I'm abandoning modding
