Hello everyone! Sorry for being slacking with news. I thought I was only a couple of weeks behind my schedule with my Ph.D. thesis, but the problem is actually a matter of months and the tight schedule makes things quite tough for me. Regardless of my news inactivity, the community is still alive constantly posting cool looking voxels and some other resources. So, I'll be quick with the news today: Unoficial D-Day Multiplayer Edition with CnCNet Client support With the blessing from Mig Eater, twistedconversion has posted a D-Day 3.7b with CnCNet client support. Head to this topic for further information. Note that this specific edition of the mod is currently hosted on MediaFire. We'll be creating a mirror for it soon in PPM. Phobos is getting some updates: Kerbiter is looking for testers for the upcoming version of Phobos, which, together with Ares, extends Yuri's Revenge modding features. Here's the changelog of the Build 5 Quote: Changelog: - New Dump Object Info command (by secsome) - Remove Disguise and Remove Mind Control warhead effects (by secsome) - Projectile Interception Logic (by AutoGavy) - Custom per-WH SplashLists (by Uranusian/Thrifinisema); - Optional mind control range limit (by Uranusian/Thrifinisema); - Tileset 255+ bridge fix (by E1 Elite) Also thanks to thomassneddon, BoredEXE (Otamaa) and FS-21 for assistance on implementing the features. TEST BUILD: https://github.com/Phobos-developers/Phobos/releases/tag/build-5 As always, you can read the wiki here: https://github.com/Phobos-developers/Phobos/wiki Share your feedback here. Revora is moving to a new server and we shall move there as well: For those who complain that PPM runs slowly, we will be moving to a new server which is far better than the current one. However, due to some software differences between both machines, it will possibly have some minor traumas with SSL support, once it happens. But it won't be something that can't be fixed. We don't have a date for this operation yet, but we might be surprised with it in the next days. For now, Revora Forums and some of its hostees are already running on this new server. For further information, I've been posting about it at the forums (registered users only).

The Nam: Vietnam Combat Operations, a total conversion for Tiberian Sun made by Tiger Yan that brings a Vietnam war to the battlefield, just received a major update called Tour of Duty, released a couple of hours ago. T

For almost 20 years, the VQA format has been a big limitation for modders of the Tiberian Sun engine, due to both output quality and encoding. Now, those limitations are no more, with the ts-patches project, Tiberian Sun now supports RAD Bink video!

A couple of patches have been released for Dawn of the Tiberium Age in recent weeks, with the last one, 1.194m, being released on December 23rd. From the 1.92f version that we have announced last september until now, a lot has been added or tweaked. Read more here!

Tiberian War: Warzone, the first release of the "Tiberian War Collection" mod for Tiberian Sun, will release this month. You may be familiar with this mod, as it used to be known as "Tiberian Sun WarZone", before mod author Trif_Mircea decided to switch around to a different naming convention.   

Dawn of the Tiberium Age, the Tiberian Sun mod that reworks and mixes Tiberian Dawn with Red Alert 1 on the Tiberian Sun engine, has received its long-awaited Naval Patch.

Name: Javelin MissileMech Role: mid-range fire support Cost: 1,00 Strength: 350 HP, heavy armour Weapons: quad barrage rockets Download Asset: https://ppmforums.com/topic-56091/ts-voxel-assets-from-ts-forgotten-wars/ Initially passed by in favour of the Juggernaut project, the Javelin MissileMech was an older attempt at providing fire support on a walker base. It lost out to the Juggernaut in terms of range and firepower, compared to the naval cannons carried by the other mech, and its ability to move and fire at the same time was considered not enough of a plus point over the Juggernaut. However, with the passing of the Firestorm Crisis, and the spread of CABAL's sub-commander cores, the Javelin design was revisited when the need for more mobility, to strike fast and relocate faster, became an increased priority versus the CABAL aerial drones and their relentless ability to swarm stationary targets. The original guided missiles on the Javelin were swapped out for unguided barrage rockets, which required less targeting time and gave greater area denial at the expense of accuracy; with the Juggernaut already setting a baseline for acceptable accuracy, the Javelin's barrage rockets were considered well within acceptable bounds. The Javelin has known limitations around hitting targets close to it (as with most artillery units), and is easy prey for hostile air units. Commanders are advised to keep the Javelin operating behind a Titan screen, and well within the flak cordon created by the Watchman and Hover MLRS supporting units.

LucasSK has recently announced that Tiberium Resurrection 4.0 has been released. As usual, it tweaks GDI, Nod factions, adds Mutants/Civilians and also brings a myriad of tracks, maps and much more into the battlefield. 

Name: Moto-Hunter Role: scout & fast attack Cost: 600 Strength: 150 HP, wood* armour Weapons: dual incendiary cannons Download Asset: https://ppmforums.com/topic-56091/ts-voxel-assets-from-ts-forgotten-wars/ The first Moto-Hunters were encountered on long-range patrols around CABAL installations, and were initially mistaken for regular Attack Cycles, as used by Nod forces. However, where the Nod bike carries a small anti-armour rocket launcher, the Moto-Hunter is equipped with dual low-velocity cannons firing incendiary white phosphorous rounds. This makes them lethal against both infantry and structures, which will both quickly catch fire from the firestorm unleashed by the Moto-Hunter. When paired with the slower Infantry-Hunter drones, they can decimate infantry squads in a matter of seconds. The CABAL sub-commanders are often seen using the Moto-Hunters as fast skirmishers, to lure enemy forces into ambush situations where heavier CABAL units can then spring the trap. If cornered or attacked from the air, these attack bikes are still too fragile and lightly armoured to last long.
