Fantastic

I do - I'm getting back into the swing of things!

do you have plans to eventually expand the allies?

I can certainly try! I want to make buildings first before I try vehicles. Lest someone wants to make vehicles and help out...

Oh hell yeah.

Since you've figured out modelling, I wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the Red Alert/Tiberium Dawn transition? One thing I've always wanted to see in a C&C game is stuff like surplus Soviet heavy tanks getting a modernization package and being sold to either GDI or Nod, or post Soviet states like Poland reactivating a Soviet MCV to try and counter a Nod incursion.

Is there any chance of seeing modernized Red Alert tech for Tiberium factions?

It would be a sad error in judgement...to mistake me for a corpse!

I'm back, and I intend to stay! The VRChat bug bit me hard, and it's been amazingly fun ever since! In that time, I've learned Blender and Unity, and discovered how both can improve ARMA III and make ARMA III assets! So, I intend to keep working on the mod, now that I've updated it!

I'll be overhauling it of course, and relearning everything I need to know to make this better, and even add assets from scratch! On a whim, I built the Construction Yard, which proved to myself that I can make assets without having to rely upon other people, so it's time to rock and roll!

Thanks for sticking around! It's time to hit the ground fighting!

thank you

I'd have to look to see if it can be done.

can you make one with out ace

very good to know

That'd be pretty wild! This mod is still in development. I'm sharpening my skills with Blender and am already making some assets. Once I get better, I'll come back to this - I'm still here!

hey there. i am a big fan of the old C&C series, I am an old operation flashpoint veteran and playing conquer the island CTI on the OFPS server and group for about 20 years. If you like the idea of combining the command aspect and strategy to an ongoing, force on force, capture the island scenario, then see how this CTI plays out and take command. As a commander, your team relies on you to move the MHQ, build control center, light fac, heavy fac, rotary air, supply depots, fixed wing fac, air radar, sat cam, etc. in addition, all these have tech levels to upgrade. the other players on your team conquer towns and defeat their resistance forces, turning them loyal to your command

That would be awesome

I can certainly try! I know I can make pillboxes and physical Tesla Towers seems pretty smooth in Blender - I'd have to figure out how to animate lightning, however.

Is it possible to implement tesla towers and tanks into the game and have them be effective? This mod seems to cover RA1 so I don't think tesla troopers matter.

Sure thing! Drop some topics in the forums here, so we don't forget! :D

Awesome. Can't wait for updates. If you're willing to take suggestions, I can add some more to make it more accurate-ish (*ish* is the keyword). Perhaps you could also add the Mammoth tank mod as a dependency, and give it to GDI. Or the Soviets, too. Either way, can't wait for more.

Oooohh, right! I can definitely consider that! I did just find a pack that adds the Leopard 2A4, which works with what I'm trying to achieve.

Once I finish my VRChat world, I'll be back at this - apologies for the delays and definitely thank you for remaining interested in this project. :)

It would be a sad error in judgement to mistake me for a corpse!

It's an actual addon pack, Antharann Fireblade.
S&S or. Service & Supply.
It's an addon pack that that adds cold war style wearables, Primarily focused around the US in the 60s.

I think he means CnC but never has seen it written out

There are plans for that! I've been teaching myself Blender and I just made the Construction Yard in it, which means we can make buildings!

What's S&S?

I'd love to see S&S used here. Maybe a GDI and Nod-themed retexture could make an appearance. Oh, yeah, also the Mammoth tank mod. Can't forget that!

China will grow larger!

I can look into it!

This mod is definitely due for an update. I've pursued learning more about Blender and I have discovered I can truly make my own assets!

I'll be back at this when I'm done my latest Blender project.

I think USM and DHI could be repalced with S & S New Wave along with XYZ Urban Retextures since former are bit outdated especially USM. You also have more variation options with S & S. GDI M81 Woodland groups would also be nice to have ready units. I understand that the desert camo is accurate for the lore however I think it's more of a development constraint at the time C&C was made and to help player identify their units easier rather than a deliberate choice in using that specific camo for every environment. Queen and Country is also a nice mod for a UK/EU Branch of the GDI. Middle East could also make use of some of the garments from S & S. On a different note it's nice to see such a mod being kept up.

We're still at this! I've been teaching myself Blender, and in 4 hours on a Wednesday night, I made the original Construction Yard! I'm looking forward to continuing our progress, only this time by making the assets with our own two hands!

PEACE THROUGH POWER!

ACE is required, yes, since the ACE Medical systems and fortification systems are utilized by the elements in the mod. However, ACE settings determining the durability of AI are configured within the 3Den Editor for missions rather than the mod itself.

With that respect, the scenario settings I prefer to use relevant to ACE have disabled AI Unconsciousness, so once AI go down, they stay down. All health settings are otherwise set to default.

You can tweak your ACE settings and health settings per mission, of course, if you wish to make your own with your own parameters in mind, and I encourage you to do so. Thanks for looking into it!

Is ACE required? Or can i play with this mod without ACE and having to spend hours to set up a balanced system so AI are not invincible and players don't drop dead every 6 seconds during a firefight.

That's because of the way textures for weapons are treated - theyre treated differently than textures for the rest of the vehicle. I'm working out that issue now.

Hey, Getting error messages about not finding the texture for the GTK Boxer APC's turret textures.

That's what I struggle with - I'm avoiding piling on mods as much as I can. Unfortunately Pook didn't get back to me on my request to make use of the FAV and Scud yet...

Meanwhile, I hope to learn how to make vehicles and weapons with time!

will we be getting some updates for vehicles in the future for Nod and GDI? Been kinda hard finding the right vehicles for them to use without loading more mods.

Not at the moment.

ACE expands the medical system, as well as multiple facets of the original game experience. It really is an awesome addition to ARMA. Plus, it lets engineers use fortification tools so they can build things like bunkers.

Why do I need ACE?

Just asking as I don't use ACE.

Can it be used without ACE?

Thanks! I'll fix it right now!

The UAZ-469 Nod retexture isn't rendering correctly, Showing up invisible.

Thank ya! :D

Great mod.

Update for June 2021:

I am still intent on working on this mod, of course! In January, I lost my job, but now I've found a new, better one that I've been at since mid-April. Also, my social life is picking up since the pandemic is getting resolved, which takes up my weekends...and doesn't leave me much time for ARMA.

I'm working on it! XD Thanks for your continued support!

Aye no worries. for now we had it fixed by unloading AceX on our end. Love the work you guys are doing here and with Tiberian Genesis

I do keep getting some kind of notice about something missing - I'll look soon enough. Sorting some things out on my end.

AceX causes issues when loading in. It's probably no longer needed as an dependency unless I am wrong.

*you make my dreams come true!*

That's a nice idea! I can run a few trials and see what looks good.

looking good but perhaps you could make the nod militants look more well milita like i remember that they had light equipment and boonie hats or in renegade they had red uniforms and black vests and helmets with some kind of gasmask that would be cool

Pook FAV Pack includes an outstanding Desert Patrol Vehicle, which is being added to the mod at this time.

Ill definitely accept any contributions to make this even better! I appreciate the offers!

hey, can i join the team to work on this mod? i have some models for you guys to use and have experience with 3d modelling, sadly no high detail stuff (i dont want to melt my laptop and cause of the beer i cant bring my main pc to the shop to get it fixed, busted HDD)

I use blender btw

Sorry to throw more work on, but I feel these would flesh out the mod more. I may or may not attempt a C&C pvp server, and been looking to have balances to level things out
