I forgot to mention, that at 28th September I had a lot of players. That's a real support. 13 players, including myself, were fighting against these freaking bots... And we just pushed them back! A great experience. There were epic matches, I never did such craziness before. This literally says that I need to continue to work on Extreme Co-op 2, this is very possible future of Command & Conquer Renegade.

I recently added the rest of infantry, now Nod and GDI teams are spamming those soldiers which they hadn't in regular Skirmish mode. Watch out for Stealth Black Hand, Dead Eyes, Sydneys with personal ion cannons... even Rocket Soldiers with Nod Officers will make you feel uncomfortable for few minutes! I also fixed annoying bug with vehicles stuck and doing nothing, even if there is no infantry around them. But I need to make infantry to go around them, so it is still a lot of work to do. And I also partially fixed superweapon beacons, but your AI-teammates are still stupid, so do not count on them much. And rebalanced needs of bots, so they spend money randomly and usually not so fast. And... a big "and", I presume... I will soon move to 100 Mbps connection for less payment (13 % price drop for +40 Mbps) which is great, so I can seriously increase slots and net update rate. Time will tell, however, how good this cheap connection (only 6 USD per month) will be... main server recently had problems with connection speed, but... I hope for the best!

Well, at least that you bought it legally, so it is a reason to help. I've sent you an original copy of the game from 2002. Use it. Do not forget to download and install Tiberian Technologies update after installation of the game, TT-files are needed to play online. Also, download Ren List client program from Threve's post, or W3D Hub Launcher, or Master List from MultiPlayer Forums (it is a bit faster than Ren List and W3D Hub Launcher, but it hasn't WOL/XWIS option), and go to options and specify a directory of your game where was it installed and where "game.exe" is.

GraYaSDF: Siberian GRemlin found very rare and old beta version 0.09c of Red Alert and released the gameplay and the game itself. Did you ever play it? Frank Klepacki: Lol, I played it during original development!

And here it is, the playlist from Siberian GRemlin himself (from 6th October)!

Oh, I know that guy since 2004-2006. When I searched tools for extracting of files from MIX archives and few editors which I was missing, I found his website. He literally has a LIBRARY of CDs, that's quite a golden treasure to see those in one place. Translations, rare files, archives, old editors... And he has digital library as well, so do not forget to visit! http://siberian-studio.ru

I completely reworked difficulty settings, players can now fight with few bots in their own team against large hostile forces. This makes matches even more insane and intense. C4s and shots are literally everywhere inside your base if server set the difficulty to Difficult or even Hard. The game is now completely Co-operative, no more players vs players battles. New difficulty settings are: Extreme (without reinforcements), Very Hard (with just few bots) Hard (defense tactics) Difficult (less bots for your own team, more for opposite) Normal (the same amount of bots and players vs bots) Easy (less bots for opposite team, more for your own) Beginner (just few hostile bots), and also one difficulty for testing purposes (no bots for opposite team). I removed separate parameters of bots for both teams, instead there are just one parameter and two new fuctions which calculate how many bots are allowed to spawn for each team.

I tried to remove mss.dll from my copy of game, it said the same. Reinstall Tiberian Technologies Update, get the updater from here - http://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/files/scripts-4.6.exe

This is pizdec! My favourite screenshots now, saved to hard drive, thanks

I started to work on Tension, saw it in my dream today playing all over and over again in my head.

Give AK-74M to Nod. Please

Available on Bandcamp and YouTube too!

This is NICE looking terrain. At this angle of view I see not too much, but it is totally promising.

Those bots built a whole army to destroy Nod once and for all. I can't wait to try it in action

Uploaded to YouTube today. One of my favourite remakes that I made, it was a huge fun to make it happen, especially I liked the process of composing it from scratch with some of those original instruments from far past. Even 2 years later, I still remember that it was really great adventure, a time machine.

Truth. There are no trades of Toshiba laptops in Russia anymore, but other things, and also parts for PCs are still exist, so this is a proof of what happened with Toshiba. They restructured their business to make more income and profit, so yeah... sad news, I know. Money changes everything, even good things. I remember times when I used old Toshiba 6 kg laptop, I could barely hold it and play the game at the same time, but it was reliable and lived almost forever.

I love Tiberian Sun, its mods, its modding tools, and TSR. That's anything that I wish to say. Also, a good thing to read: https://www.escapistmagazine.com/v2/2019/08/27/remembering-command-conquer-tiberian-sun-on-its-20th-annivesary-with-former-westwood-studios-design-director-adam-isgreen/

Well, I remember times that father bought Hewlett-Packard Pocket PC, it was good and much faster, but then it died. Pocket PC from "i-Mate" brand is still alive, I only need to fix the lid and change the battery to new one!

I am not familiar with the newest laptops, because I am still with my Acer Aspire AOD250, I completely assembled my own PC by my own hands, but maybe you can try ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 for that price. I actually do not like ASUS, but this is what guys say about this model (the configuration may be different, however): + processor Ryzen 3 and higher + playable FPS in new games, stable run of different programs + 512 GB SSD (but may be lower), 8 GB RAM + keyboard with LED lights + 15.6 inches TFT screen (I actually kinda hate LED, it is not soft for my eyes) - very soft, so you need to be careful with its case, keyboard, and especially with screen - may be a bit louder than your previous laptops - in some videogames may be little video card drawdowns, but they are not affecting gameplay much - normal sound card, but I strongly recommend to buy USB-soundcard for music, but you can still try the in-built (for DJs, music composers, etc. - at least Behringer or Focusrite Scarlett) and then apply DFX-plugin on it if you need a thin 3D sound (you can install and apply that plugin for USB sound card as well) I do not recommend to buy any Lenovo, HP, and DELL, because they are mostly do not meet your conditions and requirements. You can still try Lenovo or DELL, but at least I heard from my friend that Lenovo is something like a broken dish from each side. Also, some ASUS models (and gaming laptops are not an exception) may be hot stoves. So, try with caution, place cooling device under it or near to it, or put your laptop on a thin surface, and you should be probably ok.

If I disable pathfinding, I still need to configure bots for gameplay. I actually hate the idea of waypoints, so instead I will try other ways.

I decided to record this crazy gameplay today. Sorry for quality and bugs. Have a nice day!

Few days ago... I successfully ported bots to... ancient BHS Update 3.4.4. LOL. And guess, which map I've used to do this? Of course, it is C&C_Ancients.mix! The point of such bicycle is to make my old laptop which has Scripts 3.4.4 installed work with bots made for the latest TT Update, so now I can have fun even without Internet connection, far away from home For bots which are for TT Update, I added a map C&C_City, but it seems bots there cannot get to enemy base in time being destroyed at bridge or under it. I hope to introduce flying bots somehow, but this is not an easy task, I do not use any waypaths at the moment. In Commando Asssault, there were flying bots, they were piloting Orca-fighters and Apaches. But Orca was the only unit which had a lot of potential firepower because of rockets as primary weapon, GDI were using it like true aces, even during battles in the sky.
