  1. Hello-hello! @Nodlied and I are pleased to announce a special event. One with a prize so good you cannot miss out! So! Let's go to it! Hi everyone! I'm sure that everybody has been playing the recently released Remasters. Well, so have we! So what better way to celebrate the release than to hold a mapping competition? We want your maps, and we want them to represent W3D! So what does this mapping competition entail? The Command and Conquer Remastered Collection comes with its own mapping editors for Tiberian Dawn Remastered and Red Alert Remastered. Your objective is to pick one of the maps represented in one of our projects (APB, IA, etc) and to recreate it as faithfully as possible in the remastered map editors. We know that some of our maps are based on maps in the original Red Alert, but you're going to recreate the maps based on the W3D iterations. Keep in mind that the maps need to be playable. How will we judge your maps? There are few different boxes that your map will have to tick. Easy stuff, I assure you! A - for Effort ☑ You'll get points for the amount of effort put into the map. An example for bonus points would be that you don't just deliver a skirmish-ready map, but one that comes with its own scripts so that players will start with bases as represented in the W3D variants of the maps. B - Beauty ☑ The more beautiful your map is, the more points you can gain. Quite simple. Keep in mind that the map still needs to represent your chosen W3D map as closely as possible! So a map such as classic ShallowsGrave won't be beautiful if you want to get points for remaining faithful to the W3D map. But if you want points for beauty, you might lose points on the copycat factor. C - Copy ☑ The map needs to be as close to the W3D map as possible. This can be difficult, as something like APB_Metro can be really hard to make. But something like APB_CoastalInfluence shouldn't be too difficult. Do what you have to do to translate the W3D maps into a functional 2D map with the Remastered map editor. D - Gameplay ☑ A map needs to be playable. Keep in mind that even if it is technically playable, it should also be fun to play. Bonus points for triggers and/or other things that make the gameplay closer to that of our projects. Each factor is worth 5 points up to a total of 20 points. If we cannot decide if something is, for example, worth a 3 or a 4, we'll decide on a 3.5. What's at stake? The winners - 3 of them - will receive a W3DHub shirt and sticker for free, sent to you by the W3D Hub team. If you win, we will contact you and arrange delivery and the details. Let me tell you, @Threve has one of these shirts already and can attest to its quality and feel. You will want to get your hands on this iconic piece of W3D merch. How to partake? We will be accepting submissions in this thread announcement here. Provide us a link to your map so we may download it and play, and we will then score you accordingly. Still with us? Good! Now, go out there and get creative! You have three weeks/until 12th July/we receive a considerable amount of submissions and for the sake of the judging team must close (in all honestly, the time and dates are subject to change. I will keep you updated in every case.) Remember, submissions are to be posted here. However, this thread is also open to discussion, feedback, and general brainstorming if you would like to! Now go!

  4. Will be watching this game with great interest (unless I get thrown into the mix last-minute)! Good luck to the new guys!
  5. BROTHERHOOD! WE ARE WHOLE AGAIN! I am happy to see this collaboration take shape. For C&C fans old and new, this will be an excellent landing point to immerse them into our wider community.

  7. It is! We have not put together a blog update for some time now, as we have since opted to showing our progress on Discord and our Twitch. However, I will see to getting our development progress collected and we can start pushing these blogs again for you and others interested! Welcome to our forums by the way. Thank you for visiting. You can find our Discord @ https://discord.gg/9XywWHh and our Twitch @ https://www.twitch.tv/w3dhub
  8. Honestly, threads like these are very refreshing. I love your analysis style that you have done here and previously for other units. As impressive as the vehicle is, I am not a regular user of the Chronotank myself, although I am certain this information will be very helpful to the Allied team.
  9. When you crash, there may be some crash dumps generated. If you can share those, we can take a look at determine which errors are causing your Renegade to crash. @jonwil may be interested in a Korean version of Renegade.
  10. Tradition dictates that it is End Boss Month. Frankly, with the way 2020 has been going I wouldn't be surprised if cosmic demons (Kirby series), giant fire-breathing turtles (Bowser), or the literal embodiment of evil (Earthbound series, Zelda series, the blue turtle shell from Mario Kart, take your pick) were to make an appearance. That said, you know what to do so get changing!
  11. I never knew about the Alpha design. It's a nice look!
  12. I do enjoy some comp stomps every now and then. We can totally play co-op against bots. With the improved AI, they may even offer a challenge this time around!
  13. With C&C Remastered right around the corner, it's time to share those friend codes. Let's add one another and play!
  14. Welcome @x07 be sure to PM Verti60 with your character sheet. Imagine playing video games
  15. Water under the bridge for most, though I do understand the sentiment of our playerbase. They are free to express their opinions, although I may have to advise against wishing a DDos attack on others.
  16. Despite it being called common sense, a surprising amount of people lack it.
  17. I should add that moonsense715, Apocalypse Rising Co-Producer, has vastly improved on bot AI and introduced them into APB for use during low player count games. The idea was to allow lone players to join up and experience a "populated" server while they hang out, and as human players join in they substitute in for the bots until the playercount gets high enough. TSR 2 will be getting this feature as well, so players can enjoy some light action before the players start piling into the server.
  18. Hey there, and welcome to our forums! Glad you found us here. There are several opinions and explanations depending on who you ask, and here are my thoughts. As you said, we have a good number of people on our Discord and forums, and a healthy amount of discussion on top of that! I'm actually very happy to see our community as reached this point. To see the same activity in our game servers is a hit or miss, and that can be common for other communities too. What I think happens is that players would open up the launcher and find that 0/40 or 0/127 staring them in their face and get turned away. Understandably, no one wants to join an empty server. However, a server does not populate until one person joins. Then the next user notices the playercount change, and they join. Then the third, then the fourth, and so on. The snowball effect does wonders for our games, and combined with our Discord, games fill up easier than ever! (Disclaimer: this may have limited effect on the multiple Renegade servers I see in your image, such as Area 51 AOW, Rencorner Snipe, etc. Though we support them, our Discord is linked to our in-house projects: APB, IA, TSR, ECW) Which mods/servers are you looking for players in?
  19. Huh. I have seen this news earlier today but I have not gotten an email yet myself. It's unfortunate, but understandable.
