It has been some days without some TS:R news, huh? I would like to thank those of you for noticing and speaking up in our Discord, such as DenWellinston. I appreciate your interest and will now deliver some long-awaited news. This news update may or not be very GDI focused. And why, you may ask? Some would argue that: Of course, we brothers of Nod know this to not be true and that this is only slander. Kill Icons Nearing Completion Since the last update of the kill icons, the team has achieved full completion on the weapon list. The screenshot below shows off a few guns icons in use. Users viewing the image may notice something peculiar about the screenshot. Worry not! I know exactly what's peculiar about it. When you kill bots, the kill icons have no name on the receiving end. Thankfully, with a bit of coding this issue has been fixed. Misc Building Fixes Raap has been keeping busy in the background with numerous changes. He has overhauled the GDI Power Plant exterior textures and also added new destroyed decals to the building. Most importantly, Raap has also removed the GDI Power Plant's particle overload and replaced the associated materials. This translates to a more performance-friendly building, which is always a benefit for our games. In more aesthetic changes, Raap has also fixed the Construction Yard's rotating fan and light animations to rotate in a perfect circle and no longer hitch. Inside and out of the Construction Yard, he has fixed the white cables and the elevator fences now use Alpha Test instead of Alpha Blend. These miscellaneous changes translate to "the Construction Yard is better to look at now". Having finished these changes, Raap has since returned back to mapping. There is much to be done! New Refinery Tiberium refining is a thankless job, and a boring one at that. So boring, in fact, that the guys in the break room spend their time doodling away. An officer confiscated this and subsequently fired the man responsible. ...we have no idea what this is supposed to be. However, while we are on the subject of the Refinery you should know that it is getting redone! CMDBob has undertaken this task and has produced something great. Below are screenshots of his progression. Identifying the w3d materials of the Refinery Refinery concept. Added basement and proposal for a back door Back door added Ramp down to the basement Size comparison of the Refinery between new (left) and old (right). Though a subtle change in size. the new Refinery is 10% bigger The new Refinery is coming along nicely, though if the screenshots alone are not enough to satisfy, please take a look at this video. Laser Fence Upgrade Normally, it is difficult to find live crash test dummies. However, when these crash test dummies are fanatical members of Nod who will give their lives for the betterment of technology well, it's much easier. The Nod Laser Fences have been upgraded to properly dispose of would-be infiltrators. Our prayers go out to the fallen soldiers of Nod for their great sacrifice in demonstrating the Laser Fence upgrade. Cyborg Reaper Here's a thing. Imagine this terrifying monster approaching you. Credit to Permagrim of the Renegade X team for the new animations! "Fear the Reaper." I hope this update is enough for this week. More news to come! GDI stuff especially![blurb]Big news update incoming! More kill icons, misc fixes, new Refinery, upgraded Laser Fence, the Cyborg Reaper, and our Twitch! Come take a look![/blurb] Bonus Post Follow W3D Hub on Twitch or keep an eye on our Discord when we announce dev streams and tune in!

Should be around 807 in total.

The Hand of Nod has seen the return of the animated falling beds when it dies. Does that count? 😅

There will be some changes to some of Nod's buildings as well, yes. This includes the refinery and even laser turrets.

Glad to hear it! Yeah the size increase will be in TSR 2.0. Anything you see in these updates moving forward will be featured in TSR 2.0!
