The Dawn of the Tiberium Age 1.11 news
Tiberian Sun News
Posted by Bittah Commander on November 5th, 2011
I recently decided to start posting updates on DTA 1.11's progress more actively and have been doing so (along with Rampastring) at DTA's official website since the past month.
A decent number of updates have been posted already, so I'll try to keep this post summarized as possible.
To start off, DTA 1.11 has newly made water cliffs for the desert theater.
Thanks to a hack from CCHyper the tiberium now gets affected by lighting just like all other terrain.
On the left is what it originally looked right and on the right is with the hack; as you can see this is a tremendous improvement for how tiberium looks on darker maps.
I converted several terrain objects between theaters to increase the options mappers have to detail their maps with.
Also the new LATs I made give mappers extra options for detailing their maps.
This is just one out of six new LATs I posted on DTA's front page.
The GUI's layout and graphics have been redone.
As you can see in this image the minimap is now much bigger and more detailed.
There are in fact different GUIs and the one you get depends on whichever screen resolution you've selected in the launcher...
...what launcher?
This launcher; it was originally made by Nyerguds as a setup tool mainly for switching between my different GUIs, but it was later on further developed into a launcher by Rampastring.
The launcher is capable of automatically updating DTA to the most recent version, which will make it a lot easier for me to release bug fixes/updates in the future, meaning you won't be having to spend ages to see one little thing fixed anymore.
And finally... Singleplayer missions. People have been asking for a remade TD campaign and no, there won't be a remade TD campaign included with DTA 1.11's release. It takes a lot of work and time to get such missions done properly after all (especially considering the amount of missions the TD campaign had), but maybe the mappers will be able to pull it off eventually (considering the workload however, and the fact few are actually interested in remaking the TD campaign, some extra help might be necessary).
Never the less, DTA 1.11 will come with some singleplayer missions. "The Toxic Diversion", made by Rampastring, is a campaign existing out of 4 missions which can play drastically different depending on the choices you've made during the first missions.
Aside from this, missions in the same fashion as TD's "new missions" might appear later on; so far one of such missions has been included already, namely "Under Sige II" by ReFlex (much like TD's "Under Siege", with the main difference that you're playing as GDI instead of Nod).
Visit DTA's website to read everything above in more detail, along with a lot more images (including an animation of the airstrike superweapon, which I left out of this post because of its size).

The Dawn of the Tiberium Age v1.11 progress
Tiberian Sun News
Posted by Bittah Commander on February 14th, 2011
It's already been a year since DTA 1.10 has been released and after having been silent all this time, some might even arleady suspect this mod is already dead. Whoever thought that couldn't be any farther from the truth however. Unlike during the development of previous versions of DTA, where my "staff" basically consisted of some people that did me a few random favors, I in fact have a consistent staff now and we actually have been (and still are) quite busy.
So rather than being dead, DTA's development is in fact more alive than ever:
Many improvements have been made and many new features have been added to the enhanced mode, of which you'll be able to catch a glimpse in some of the new screenshots;
There's already twice as many multiplayer maps as there were before and many maps also have a "comp stomp" version, on which the human and AI players start on the same side of the map, after which the human players have to send their MCVs into teleporters, which then instantly transport them to the other side of the map. This means you can 'east vs west' or 'north vs south' battles against the AI. And the AI by the way, has been improved a lot.
   Rampastein completely recoded DTA's AI and as you can see in the images above, the new AI really is no joke (and that's still only on medium difficulty level). But...   ...as tough as the new AI is, it's of course not unbeatable.  In addition to all this also a ton of new terrain has been added (which is part of the reason why it's taking so long; terrain takes me long time to convert or create) and this includes a conversion of Red Alert's entire snow theater. 
I wish I could say DTA 1.11 is already close to a release date, but unfortunately there's still a lot left to do. However, at least you can now put your mind at ease knowing that the longer you wait, the better DTA 1.11 will be, rather than having collected more dust.

C&C95 v1.06c revision 1 released!
Tiberian Dawn News
Posted by Nyerguds on October 1st, 2010
It's finally here... more than 2 years after the release of patch 1.06b, and almost a year after its last update revision.
Command & Conquer '95 v1.06c (revision 1)
The patch focuses mainly on expanding mission making and modding. Besides that, there are of course actual game fixes too though:
- The messed up colours problem on Windows Vista and Windows 7 has been fixed, by putting the game in DirextX compatibility mode.
- The problematic Funpark mode has been removed, and, using the new mission making functions, the dinosaur missions have been added into the New Missions menu as two campaign launcher items, one for GDI and one for Nod.
- Using the arrow keys on the main menu now lets you go through the options in the right order.
- The damage percentage calculated on armour is no longer 255/256 when it should be 100%
- The firing sound of the SAM site has been fixed.
- The computer opponent can no longer capture your Advanced Communications Center.
There's a LOT more where that came from though. A quick overview of the new mission making and modding features:
- New mission options allow changing house colours, making a building type (un)capturable in just one mission, changing the sidebar logo, unlocking the multiplayer-only units, and a lot more.
- The number of missions in the New Missions menu has been expanded from 79 items per side to 979 items per side (20-999).
- The New Missions Menu now has a system to add multiple missions as one menu item, to be played as campaign.
- The number of multiplayer maps has been expanded from 99 to 256.
- An entire dynamic language changing system allows adding new languages to the game.
- A new modding system allows mods to be launched by the game. This means a mod's files put in the game folder will not affect the game unless the game is specifically launched to use them.
- As a start of the implementation of an ini-rules system, all music settings are now 100% ini-based.
As showcase of the new modding system, I'm rereleasing my C&C Meets Star Wars mod. For those who haven't seen it before, this mod does not change gameplay in any way; it just replaces all graphics and sounds in the game to become Star Wars themed. It also contains an entire playlist of Star Wars themed music.
The patch, its language packs, and the C&C2SW mod, can all be found here:
http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cnc95upd/cc95p106/
Note that there is no full game download for 1.06c yet. It is of course perfectly possible to patch the full game install of 1.06b revision 2, which is still available on the site.
At this moment, the French and German game readmes are not yet available. They will be added later though.
