Update initiated...please standby for incoming transmission... Here's a tiny update, but at least it's some content to show. I'm fairly satisfied, but it needs a lot of improvement imo. Also, I wish that the thread could be renamed to "C&C Brotherhood Rising", because I'm thinking of just having one thread for all of it. Anyways, I went back and refined/reskinned that Allied Medium Tank I mentioned to people at one point. It's very basic and simple at the moment, but is passable. I don't have Allied or Soviet Infantry units for tank crews yet, so for this I'm just using SoldierWCrew as a placeholder. The texture is not final, but it's progress towards the next expansion. Also I fixed the affiliation of the "group" placement for the Soviet Mammoth Tank (I'm going to refine the texture work on this one too). They're now team 0 instead of 1 (makes sense). Using SoldierECrew as a placeholder. I'm going to remove the blurry logo from the front right of the Medium Tank for the Allies. With that said, here you guys go. A glimpse at the Red Tide expansion: http://i.imgur.com/uifNbBu.png http://i.imgur.com/2sHqudj.png http://i.imgur.com/vfYopcg.png I went for a sort of metallic gray, because I think that's what looks best with the logo. :P Before I conclude this message, I am going to say that I will be releasing the tank as a standalone .pbo along with the updated Soviet Mammoth files. Still trying to figure out why the original GDI version by Silverhawk isn't showing up anymore, but I'll figure that out. Might just start from scratch on that one and only adjust the armor stats and the crew. Also, I need to find the files necessary for the default Jeep along with the MG version, because I'm going to be using those for the Allied Ranger. I'll also make the Allied APC and Light Tank (still need to see if I can obtain permission for the M24 Chaffee. I didn't get a response. Or if anyone can find another type of tank that would be better suited to visually represent the units one utilizes in Red Alert.) I'm still deciding on what to do for the Soviet Heavy Tank, which is represented as a twin-barreled T-80 MBT in cinematics. A HMMWV with an M2 for GDI would be great; if someone released one that I could ask permission for, or if there is one as a free source. I just need something to match up against Nod's Buggy, but has small transportation abilities. I'm going to try and also retexture the 5-tonne trucks that can be utilized by both parties. I feel I need to mention that since I've always had trouble trying to model things, I'm going to need help with a few more of the special vehicles and the buildings. Some base defenses for the Tiberian Dawn era would be really appreciated. Actually, I'm glad I had help at all with this mod, so once again I thank all who contributed their work so far as well as some modding tips and inspiration! ...end transmission...

So guys, I haven't abandoned this project, but real life issues have gotten in the way of real progress. I still have all the project files, so no worries. Everything is backed up just in case. I still know the direction in which I want to go with it, but I think I'm going to need an actual team of modelers and texture artists to help. It is, admittedly, overwhelming. And I'm grateful for the work that has been contributed by several talented people that's making this mod that much more of a reality - thank you all. I'm still working on it off and on, so it's not dead. :) I will hopefully get some pictures up soon if I get more texture work done.

Reskins are perfectly fine. They get the job done most of the time. In any case, it gives people more to play with. All: I should be getting Internet installed by no later than Wednesday. No promises, but I know that I am getting it. Just don't exactly know when. Oh and noob, I'll give your pack an abbreviation. It'll look like this: CNCBR_RHA (Stands for Reinforcements Have Arrived). I figured it'd be a unique way of saying it's an extension to the main pack.

I'd be glad to include them as a sort of extension, perhaps? I think I might be in luck regarding Internet this coming month. :)

Was thinking more about flame tank design. While trying to keep nostalgic feelings, I also want some essence of gritty realism. I think perhaps it can be based on the T-55 chassis. Two flame nozzles replace the main cannon. The napalm canisters would be attached to the back-top portion of the turret.

I have a copy of his mod but no way to upload it to anywhere - only internet is on my phone.

Once I get internet at my new apartment, I'll be able to upload whatever I film and put together. It'll likely show primarily the new vehicles and such, but I'll try and squeeze in all the features - at least the most noticeable ones.

You're doing amazing work. :D

I have to admit that I use the editor a lot. I recently put 2 turrets at the intersection of a small village on Nogova and watched two U.S. Army squads get mowed down. I wonder what a whole defensive wall would do.

Progress is amazing here! Might try and film a promo for it sometime.

I'll give it some thought. Yeah I was actually thinking the hovercraft should work like that. The flametank will have elements of both TD & Renegade. I'm trying to sort of blend the two seamlessly, while retaining the gritty war aspect along with feelings of nostalgia.

Well there's gotta be some hope here. If it's in demand enough, it's a possibility. Nothing's completely out of the question. Highly unlikely, yes. Completely impossible, no.

Those have been on the list, but was unsure of how I wanted the Pyradon flame tank and Ezekiel's Wheel stealth tank represented. I know for the Pyradon that I want a script setup where infantry properly catch on fire and run around screaming, just like in ECP and FFUR (except it's tank crew getting out and running around on fire). The Recon bike is also on the list. As for Red Alert stuff, thinking that the Jeep will be the Ranger for the Allies.

I gotta tweak the texture a bit on the Allied Medium Tank, then it should be mostly done. It's using SoldierWCrew at the moment as a temp crew. The model I chose is the M60, because I don't have an M48 and I didn't want to be repetitive using the Abrams again. While on the in-game build icon and the pre-rendered cutscenes they used an Abrams, I decided to use the Patton because it'd be more accurate to the period of Red Alert. I'd also like to get permissions from the author of the M24 for the light tank, if possible. And I'll utilize Apocalypse83's T-80 for the Soviet Heavy Tank. Just gotta copy the main gun bits and flash to make a twin barreled variant. Long coat Soviets with AK-47s and '50's' era Allied troops with M16A1s will make up the rifle infantry.

I might work a bit more on the Red Tide expansion. Soviet Rifle Infantry and Allied Rifle Infantry, plus Allied Medium Tank and Soviet Mammoth Tank for that first demo.

Oh man. Those are nice! I'd ask for your help on making weapons and characters for my mod, but you seem busy with this masterpiece! Well done!

Truth! Not to mention that not everyone has beefy gaming rigs. Many people can't even afford new computers to keep up with the latest games.

@Apocalypse83 - That's what I'm hoping. I'm not a modeler, so I'd need someone to help model the tiberium crystals and spore plants. For awhile these trucks are for show. I'm really glad Stu made them for free usage. Which reminds me that I think I forgot to list him in the readme. My moving from Texas to Iowa was pretty urgent, so that's my bad. I'll double-check and add it if I need to, then will re-upload an updated readme. I wish the Mammoth tank was still working - it was working perfectly when I shot for the trailer/promo video. @Lenyoga - Have fun! Hope you can create awesome missions with them! Flag pack was made for mission maker convenience! All the first Tiberium War flags, including Libya's 1977 flag.

As I am moving soon, I'm releasing a public beta (because so far everything's been internal alphas and I was never satisfied). Expect a few bugs. Also included is some flags in .paa format for mission maker usage (found in a folder in the addons folder). The Mammoth Tank for GDI stopped showing up, but will be fixed for a later version. PBO still included. :) Hope you guys enjoy the things that do work at least. Some bugs listed in readme at the bottom. Not sure if I did my readme correctly. Looked around at other peoples' readme formats, but still followed my own. Anyways, here you guys go! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23036637/CNCBRBeta0.1.zip

Thanks, man! Means a lot.

Nod's APC has also been deployed [shown in editor as "APC (Early War)"]. The logo on the back is a little squished, I'll fix it later. http://i.imgur.com/n4GeRrq.png http://i.imgur.com/O35UXZC.png http://i.imgur.com/6Ykv0v5.png http://i.imgur.com/KywBInr.png

GDI's APC has been deployed. http://i.imgur.com/UCYIR3R.png http://i.imgur.com/rxOrXvP.png http://i.imgur.com/uLtnVbg.png http://i.imgur.com/06GoIgD.png

Thanks to krzy for once again fixing my mistakes. XD He fixed up Nod's Chinook and it looks brilliant! The texture will be updated at a later date, he says, but for now it still looks nice! http://i.imgur.com/m0o2xSC.png http://i.imgur.com/9z7AYWV.png http://i.imgur.com/jyWH2WP.png I know I said I'd release the mod after this was fixed up, but I have a couple more things I want to include in the package before the release (and some cleaning up inside the folders). Plus as a small bonus at release time because of my few months delay, I'll add in the Soviet Mammoth shown a couple of pages back (probably still needs a few bug fixes)! The readme was typed up so I just gotta clean up some folders and package a couple 'o useful things that I think mission makers will love. ;)

I like Maczer's quality when it comes to buildings and vehicles, as evidenced by his Orca, Buggy, Helipads, Hand of Nod, etc. Isn't he a part of OFP40k? I'll ask someone if they're willing. I'm desperate for tiberium stuff. Need refineries and silos.

Exactly! There's so much you can do with the RV engine. :)
