  1. So I've been working on a project that designs loadouts and missions in the spirit of Command & Conquer for Armed Assault III. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1681411751 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1701099182 Sentry has been working on ARMA full conversions for years and he's shown me some stuff. I'll be very happy to return to work with him...if he ever shows up again!
  2. The transition between slow and subtle and more vibrant is amazing!
  3. I'm necro-ing this. To let you all know... I'm still alive...I am in fact working on this thing daily...I got a better job, I work in the IT industry, I got the ever-living-FUCK outta retail, I passed my CISCO CCNA test, and I'm looking for a network engineer job. I earned my life...I freed up my weekends...and I am alive... I don't live in death...I simply live!
  4. Forgive the delay. I am...stalled. Frozen. Struggling to find motivation? Trapped in dead-end job... Maybe I need to play some more C&C to help reinvigorate my old combat warrior-self? Perhaps someone can help?
  5. Yes, the Reborn Wiki is now online, and I am rebuilding it page by page! I have backups of all my original pages! And I will try to do a little each day!
  6. Rise my people...I have returned! And the wiki lives, too! I'm just trying to remember how to construct the damn skeleton...
  7. I've posted a video demonstrating the mod's capabilities to Youtube!
  8. ....and so begins work on Tiberian Sun X!
  9. Soldiers, warriors, comrades in arms... I've been playing Command & Conquer since 1996. And with so many other games and projects pulling for my attention, I just want to say one thing: Don't ever let me retire from Command & Conquer! Seriously. I'm not saying bug me to death to get stuff done, but don't ever let me forget where I came from. I have "GDI" and "Commander A9" written on my paintball uniform for a reason. I bear the GDI Tiberian Sun logo as my default logo for all of my online profiles for a reason. Some of my most sensitive passcodes are associated with Command & Conquer for a reason. I continue to blast Frank Klepacki's work on my computer and MP3 player while I work out for a reason. I fall asleep to the Tiberian Sun Menu Theme for a reason. My dogtags says "GDI" for a reason. Don't ever let me stop, especially if I feel like stopping. So poke me on Steam and Skype (see my profile), call me up for a game. Don't...ever...let...me...quit!
  10. Hey, guys! Pardon me for interjecting; I know we've all got alot of work to do anyway, but I was asked to ask for the sake of asking. Anyone remember how a team wanted to create a mod for Command & Conquer 3 to drop it into the Tiberian Dawn universe? http://www.moddb.com/mods/tiberian-dawn I just had the priviledge of playing this mod, and I gotta say, it's a worthy first effort. The problem is it's not quite finished, and powers that be really want to get it done, but they need help. A studio called "War Studio," which also works on Renegade II, is stepping up to help finish the job, but they need reinforcements. I can't code or draw much, but you know me-I can provide technical and military insight, and the studio, "War Studio," just recruited me. So, if anyone can help see this mod to its next step, by all means, contact War Studio on ModDB, and let's see if we can't jumpstart this thing. http://www.moddb.com/company/war-studio Hell, it's motivated me to write my C&C stories again (but God knows when they'll actually get fielded ).
  11. Wow, sorry I totally vanished! I work two jobs, and I don't troll the forums much! Yeah, poke me about getting the Wiki started up again! I'm on Steam, Skype, AIm, Yahho, MSN...Addresses in my profile.
  12. Oh, God, they made me staff!

  13. Hello, soldiers and warriors! Seeing the tabs up at the top of our web page here, I figured that recreating the Wiki might have a good place between "Members" and "Bug Tracker." The problem is I'm not a coder, and "how to create a wiki" has taken me only so far. If someone knows what they're doing and knows how to create a wikipedia code skeleton, then I can resume work on our glorious Wiki project. I have all the pages intact, and backed up. 2018 Update The original wiki has been entirely saved! I am working with OWA and company on the wiki's transition to a new editing system. I'm not sure what I'm allowed to disclose, but suffice, I have been making daily or semi daily updates to it since its unveiling! I am going to post all of the original content, then resume my efforts at overhauling it all. I am proud to find a use for my C&C writing skills!
  14. I graduated 7 years of college as an honors student, paintball president, and honors society president with 3 bachelors degrees. You said 'joke.'
  15. Actually that's how I thought bases were built in the first place. The Construction Yard deployed trucks which drove out to build sites and went from there.
  16. Alright, people! You've caught my attention! Now, here's my thoughts on the matter, using the old instructions manual (Windows 95 version, not DOS) for references. Let's dial this back to 1996, when the game first came out, and for the sake of argument, let's consider weapons that only existed around that time. And let's also be realistic: so, having a trooper carrying an M134 Minigun with an ammo bagpack and feed belt might work in theory, but this guy would literally have to be Arnold Schwazzenegger (as he is the only person I know of who has actually lifted a Minigun...which is one reason why they gave it to him in Terminator 2-because he was the only person who could actually lift the heavy SOB); so giving it as standard-issue equipment to every infantryman is completely impractical. They'd be too slow, they'd be big fat targets, and I don't see a fire team of these guys fitting into APCs. Alot of assessments here are very good so far! So, if you're talking infantry only, on GDI, you'd see your infantry use NATO standard weaponry based on their home country. Expect to see riflemen carrying Calico M-950 Semiautomatic Rifles (U.S., according to imagery), SA-80 L85A1 Automatic Rifles (United Kingdom), G3s (Germany), AK-47s (Russia), and the like. Grenadiers of course would employ hand grenades, like the M61 or M67, but in modern war, hand grenades can only go so far, so infantry would likely employ the M203 40mm Grenade Launcher underbarrel attachment, M-79 breech-loaded 40mm grenade launcher, or if Russian, the GP-25. Pistols can be an assortment of M9s and M1911s. Light machine guns might be too exclusive to elite units at the start of the war, given GDI's budgetary and political constrains, but you might see infantry packing the American M294 SAW or M-60, the British SA-80 L86A1 Light Machine Gun, and Russian PKM or RP-46/RPK. I'd like to think that some technology might exclusively be used only by the Elite Forces Unit (i.e., Rangers, Commandos, Special Forces) at the start of the war. So, even M-16s for Americans might be exclusive only to commandos. Other tech like M-4s, M-82 Barretts, certain optics, thermite, and even some types of body armor might be kept in reserve for the better soldiers, not out of some kind of spite, but because GDI can't afford to give every soldier of its so many variant nationalities a standard weapon systems (save the Calico...useless 9mm piece of crap, no penetration power whatsoever...). I say this because the instructions manual claims the Commando was armed with a "Raptor .50 cali assault rifle" and an unnamed "Sniper rifle." The only Raptor in C&C was the 100-round assault rifle in Renegade. The only .50 cal assault rifle I can think of is the Beowulf, but that didn't exist in 1996. So, you can be liberal and give the Commando any weapon that would fit his/her mission parameters. As for sniper rifles, I'd go with the suppressed PSG-1, Remington M700, M40A1. As for shotguns, I'm going to go with the Italian SPAS-12 or the M590A1 Mossberg; throw the Bayonet on there for added close-quarters measure. For antitank detail, you're going to see troopers packing the M-72 LAW and M136 AT-4. Russian soldiers of course might use the RPG-7. Later in the war, you'll see soldiers packing Redeyes or FIM-92A Stingers for antiaircraft assignments. On Nod side, you'll see troopers armed with a myriad of weaponry based on their home country. In particular, IRA personnel (according to the book, Nod was significantly connected to the IRA, and given the circumstances of 1996 when the Provisional Irish Republican Army broke the truce with the British government early in the year, it leads to good recruiting opportunities for Nod), you're going to see AR-18 Widowmakers in use by IRA personnel. Otherwise, Nod will use anything they can get their hands on, mainly old Soviet technology. For the more exotic weapons, like flamethrowers, you might go with the American M9A1 or Soviet LPO-50.
  17. Yes, I'm here. It's 0303; I need sleep.

  18. Aww, crap. Do I have to weigh in on this, too? Yes, I'm here. It's 0303; I'll deal with this tomorrow. Someone set up the skeleton for the Wiki! I have all the pages intact!
