C&C Universe
Four Words:
Tiberian Alert Zero Hour
Warning: Boring Content =P
Development:
A large modification for Yuri's Revenge that I started in 2007. Eventually I stopped working in this mod in the beginning of the 2008
for about six months. After that, i kept working on it and I actualized it so it could work with the latest version of NPatch.
This mod, as most of the first mods that people do, contains a big meshup of public, private and other mod's stuff.
It all began when I started to mod C&C Reloaded, wich is the best no-patch mod I've played. Initially there were minor changes like
bringing the Chronosphere, Iron Curtain and hidden tech units back. Then I started to play with weapons and stuff. Then I started to play
It Came From Red Alert, another great mod, I became a fan of it.
After a time, When I wanted to do something bigger, I decided to incorporate the Red Alert Allies and Soviet sides of ICFRA into
C&C Reloaded. It took some time until I finally corrected and dominated the code so it could run IE-Free. I wanted to cure the injured AI of the
resulting game but I found more troubles so I will leave the AI at the end. I made some fixes, included superweapons, made them compatible with
RP10, and restored (thanks to the patch and personal workarounds) most of the TS and RA logic that didn't work in original YR. After finishing
this first phase I took a large break.
Somewhere and somehow i got the idea to inclue the Tiberian Dawn sides into it. So I started to work again in the mod. Originally
i was planning to use the Return Of The Dawn TS mod assets to implement them as the TDNod and TDGDI sides, but navigating in the C&C mod's
and resource's websites i found C&C Renessans, wich was perfect, i played it and i was wondered. Immediatly i began to add its graphics and codes
to my meshup. As I did with ICFRA, i fixed and repaired the code until i reached the IE-Free state.
After all of this i began to work with CABAL, and i found a lot of material. I quickly finished it and i'm currently working in the Scrin
converting buildings from C&C 3 into SHPs. After this i may continue to build the rest of the remaining. There's still a lot to do.
Here's the list of many of the mods I used:
-C&C Reloaded
-It Came From Red Alert
-C&C Renessans
-Future Crisis
-TS Advanced
-Mental Omega
-Robot Storm
-Return Of the Dawn
-Sudden Strike
-Eagle Red
-Generals 2.5
-The Dawn of Tiberian Age
-Exodus Alpha
I listed them in order of importance when making up the game. All of them great mods wich served as
inspiration and a source to build this personal project.

Storyline:
Right now my biggest challenge doesn't rely in obtaining resources or coding. Building a reallistic and interesting plot wich explains
how all of the C&C sides are battling against each other is my punishment. The battlefield should be a common one: Earth. I was thinking in involving the Moon too.
At the moment the best i have thought is that this Time-Space catastrophe was ocassioned by multiple factors: The unclosed Scrin portals and wormholes
after the events of Tiberium Wars, the constant use of the Chronosphere, the alternate timelines created by both Time Machines (The Soviet and the Allied one),
The Chrono Vortexs (This weird phenomena of Red Alert I), Wheater storms, Tiberium influence and Ion Storms. But I still don't know how to structure it.
Any ideas? I'm sure someone here will easily build a kickass storyline based on the factors i mentioned.
Thanks to this mod i've grown in knowledge in terms of modding and i have experimented almost every situation.
I just wanted to share it with you so you can express what you think about the idea, what can improve it or any suggestion. I consider it a tribute
to C&C, to the RA2/TS great mods mentioned before and to every single modder. I posted this today because it's my beer-day lol
Vote for your favorite or more interesting faction!
