Welcome, here is the latest in our line of update's on Tiberian Sun Rising,
I'd like thank people for their patience waiting for this update and would like to extend a big thank you to the entire Tiberian Sun Rising Dev team for their hardwork and continued dedication to this project thanks guys this wouldn't be possible without you.
The Global Defence Initiative launched a raid on what appear's to be a Nod Supply Base a possible staging area for one of the many Nod splinter faction's. The proximity to nearby GDI force's prompted "A Direct Response" as quoted from the GDI Commander who gave the order. The GDI used this occasion to do their first combat strike with the newest development in the ORCA series of Aircraft, the ORCA Bomber. We managed to obtain Satellite Imagery of the Carpet Bombing assault on this Nod Base.
General Hassan himself commissioned the new deployment of Nod's latest technology in Tiberium Harvesting, Not much is yet known about the specifics of this new deployment but Nod has been known to be at the cutting edge of Technological Development regarding Tiberium.
Lastly, strange sightings from the civilian population in a number of locations have reported a new breed of "Tiberium Creature". Often witnessed hunting in packs they appear quite intelligent and have the ability to hunt & track their prey. Witness's claim to have seen some Fiend's launching what appears to be Tiberium crystals as projectile weapon's but this has been met with scepticism from experts. GDI has advised civilians to stay indoors while this sighting is being investigated, a composite sketch of what is being called the 'Tiberium Fiend' has been drawn up by our concept artist Joshua Wright.
CnCWorld have conducted an interview with Kerensky287, the lead coder for RA3 total conversion Red Alert 3: Paradox. The mod features an impressive 5 new factions as well as additional units for the existing factions. The campaign is set in the aftermath of Red Alert 3 the war-torn world is fractured and divided into numerous factions maintaining an uneasy ceasefire.
Quote
CD : Please describe Red Alert 3: Paradox , what are the main goals of the mod? Kerensky287 : The main goals revolve around making the gameplay as varied as possible. We're more than tripling the number of units available in the game and tweaking the existing ones to try and make them more viable or less dominating. It's our hope that by the time we're done, you won't just have 3 or 4 "build orders" that you follow from the start of the game - there will be enough units and factions that no matter how you like to play, you will occasionally be able to succeed if you are smart enough, efficient enough, or... whatever your plan revolves around.
Republic_Commando_401 just interviewed Morpher for C&C-Relived. Morpher, Tiberian Odyssey leader was able to join us from Australia via MSN.
Here is a snippet of the interview
Republic_Commando_401:
Firstly, give us a brief introduction about Morpher. who is Morpher and what is your role in Tiberian Oddyssey?
Morpher:
My name is Ryan, I'm 18 years old living in Adelaide Australia, I started the Mod Tiberian Odyssey and take the role of Leader, Coder and some graphics.
Republic_Commando_401 just interviewed Gangster for C&C-Relived. Gangster, TS-Rewire leader was able to join us from Russia via MSN.
Here is a snippet of the interview
C&C-Relived:
So Gangster, what made you mod Red Alert 2?
Gangster:
well, I love CnC Generals, TS and RA2. So i have spent a lot of time playing them. I can't really say what exactly was it that made me want to mod RA2, but the Community have provided me a lot of tools plus, i have have some skills already, so i started helping other mods like Exodus and Tiberian Odyssey, and later, I decided to do something by my own.
Over @ CnCWorld I have just published an interview with Blbpaws, the mod manager of C&C3: The Forgotten, a modification for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars which tells the story of a neglected faction of humans featured in Tiberian Sun, but were marked by their absence from C&C3. They are 'The Forgotten'; a race of mutated humans afflicted by the Tiberium infestation.
The C&C Labs team are keen to create a credible faction with a powerful driving storyline. So in this interview I can exclusively reveal a new story artefact; a journal entry from the former intelligence partner of the main character 'Raven Hades' (read the fifth question).
EA's freeware release was a pain to install. It was comprised of a Tiberian Sun folder directly copied from The First Decade. It also had a bunch of batch files and registry files people had to install.
This caused a lot of confusion, that left many people with nothing but a broken game.
What this installation program does: - Installs the Westwood Shared Internet Components (optional) - Installs a few extras; Map Editor, Manuals, Icons - Installs the themepacks (optional) - Applies the LAN patch - Automatically applies registry entires - Downloads and installs the videos (optional) - Installs the game itself (obviously)
Tested and works flawlessly on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 7 64-bit!

Over at CnCWorld I have been working away on the Tiberian Twilight section of the site and I'm pleased to say it is now complete! To access it, head over to CnCWorld, click "TIBERIAN TWILIGHT" on the left menu and then select one of the sub-sections.
There are two main features; first the traditional unit and structure information pages which we have for every game. This time they're far more informative; not only are there the portraits, cost and description of its abilities, but also the weapon and armour type - essential information for the new hard counter system.
Secondly Alex06 and some buddies have been doing some digging around the in beta test files and have come across some interesting still pictures from the full motion videos that we will be watching very soon. So for a sneak peak at those head over to our C&C4 Beta Test FMVs gallery. I've done my best to speculate which characters are being shown in the pictures, but we won't know for sure until next week!
