  1. Welcome to the 28th edition of W3D Weekly! Let's get into it! Naval Combat Gameplay SurveyWe're still looking for your opinions on Naval Combat in Red Alert: A Path Beyond!! If you have time, please fill in our survey and let us know your thoughts! >> CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT THE SURVEY << We're especially interested in what you all feel could be done to improve the ship vs submarine combat in the game and where the problems lie. Tiberian Dawn: Ground Zero As we mentioned in the past two weeklies, this is the one where we show off the new purchase terminals! Rather than the big screen that we all collectively decided were PTs for some reason that was in past games (all the way back to Renegade itself), we decided to try our hand at something that better represented the idea, both for the sake of realism and to be easier to recognize for someone who hasn't played a W3D game before. @ CMDBob , our resident wizard, whipped up this new model, and it's beautiful! Asterisk Connect Tool Hi, @ Einstein here with a quick update on the Asterisk Connect Tool! For those who may not know, Asterisk is a universal direct connect tool for all W3D games that I started developing all the way back in 2015. Besides the basic direct connect function, it also has a few extra features that are geared toward developers and advanced users who just like to have more options. This is the first update in four and a half years, and is mostly a visual overhaul, but also brings a few improvements under the hood, as well as a few small new features. Big shout-out to ChopBam for his ideas and feedback on several of the new changes. Check it out here. Until Next Week!Stay tuned for next week's update! It might be a bit... spicey. [blurb]Come and check out the latest edition of W3D weekly! Featuring some more updates from GZ and a word on the Asterisk Connect Tool![/blurb]

    This is the current public beta version of the W3D-Asterisk Connect Tool - A direct connect tool built to be a spiritual successor to the legacy RenIP connect tool. This tool is compatible with all Renegade W3D-engine mods. It includes: A universal server connect tool, compatible with all Renegade-based mods on the W3D engine. A universal single-player game launcher. Save an entry for all of your W3D-based games and easily run them from here! The ability to save multiple server profiles for quickly changing between your various favorite games and servers. Multiple config options (with many more to come!) so that you can have things just the way you like them. Adding execution arguments to the game - useful for developers! An IRC !auth feature for players with protected nicknames. No more joining IRC just to run one command and leave, this will do it for you! GSA Query (functional but incomplete). Many features are still being developed. Stay tuned for updates! Design choice notes: For simplicity's sake, I have chosen to not attempt to disallow the user to delete saved items in the Games and IRC Profiles lists even if those items are currently associated with a Server Profile (this will break the associated profiles). There are warnings, but the user may do as they wish (since they can manually edit the file anyway). I have also chosen to not force uniqueness in IRC Profiles. Due to the way it is coded currently, this makes sense as these profiles do not have actual names but rather are identified by a concatenated string of all contained information, minus the password. I hope to fix this in the future. Still to come! Data management rewrite (for saving/loading all the user-entered data) GSA query improvements Themes (re-worked, better than before!) Bug fixes
