Hey folks
Been a bit ill lately so, not much has happened since last time, but I might be able to get it uploaded soon though,
need to do some test plays with someone first, the menu buttons can go screw themselves ..for now.
Stay tuned!

The map now works and is ingame and all that, but i keep getting this crash to desktop bug every once in a while for no apparent reason, and sometimes it doesn't crash at all..
What's left to do is basically just some tweaking with some menu buttons that have been pissing me off lately.. and possibly make some simple cameos for the buildings too.
I'll keep you updated once I'm ready enough for a first super beta release.

Most graphical things are now sorted and ingame, so I've now moved on to the menus and commandbars and what not, which means lots and lots of tinkering..
After I've sorted this bothersome little task the only things left to do is change all the prices,
build times and locomotor speeds and such simple balancing things, and make one or two simple tiberium free maps.
Things are looking up, expect some sort of news post pretty soon with some screens of the beta Guard toolbar and more.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen.
You thought we were dead again didn't ya? To be honest I thought so myself for a while there, and when I say we I mean the mod, and when I say the mod, I mean the mod team, and when I say the mod team... uh I mean me? It's been a slow year, as you may have noticed, not much has been going on since the dawn of 2009, but from time to time I've been doing some random work (Only in death does duty end :P).
I've decided to 'reboot' the mod, so I started by just recoding the mod from scratch, even though I had no idea how to code cnc3, but it's coming along fine, ran into a few bumps and stuff but most of it got solved. Currently working on coding in the blasted Basilisk animations that I just cant seem to get working for some reason, also at the same time trying to make it able to deploy with a button press. I've also had big issues trying to do something as simple as add resource generation to a building.
With this reboot I've decided to scrap Necrons as a playable faction because they're just too damn slow and the CnC3 maps are just too damn large and open for them to really work (seeing as they're slow as um well a bloody turtle or something). And instead of Necrons we'll have Traitor guard/Chaos who are much more exciting, and to be fair, easier to balance and easier to play around with.
You will probably see an increase in activity as the end of the year gets closer, for now, have a look at this wip screenshot of an Imperial Guard base (ignore the tiberium, commandbar and crazy hellhound :P), second up are some civilian props and random imperial stuff taken in worldbuilder (hence the freaky shadows... i hope), the third pic is a wip sneak peek at a traitor guard hellhound tank which I'll probably name a Cerberus tank (color scheme is temporary).
Until the next update, Emperor Protects.

Yep, it's that time of the month now, news update time.
I've done loads of skinning, so we've got a bunch of things to show you this month, the months to come might be less visually beautiful in the new model department but we'll see what we can manage, we will likely be showing some more civilian props that will be in the map Cal is making right now.
At the moment I'm at hard work making new animations for the Basilisk since the original ones were completely psycho. (you have to agree that's a pretty damn good reason) And they should be done in a couple of days.
That makes the Imperial Guard basically done, in the model/texture department anyway but they still need hulks and craploads of 2D stuff sorted like a command bar and cameos.
Still can't tell you a certain date we'll be releasing our first uber-alpha version, but we're still getting there, slowly but surely.
For now, enjoy these screenshots of the ingame Departmento Munitorum, Hellhound and Grenade Launcher guardsman.
Until next time, Emperor Protects.

Well Well, If it isn't me again.. and this time around im not checking in to make any threats of impending doom, no no, not this time, im here to enlighten your heretical souls! Open your eyes to the Emperor and embrace his glory for it is truly a brilliant thing!
Behold!
The most trustworthy weapon of war the Imperium has in it's arsenal, the Chimera troop transport.
Stay tuned for more to come.. sooner or later..
Keep in mind that the normal maps on the treads have been fixed since the making of those screenshots, and any screenshots featuring the Chimera in the future will have the new tread normals.
