Tiberian Sun 3 v1.3 Preview (Updated)
Hey again, ive got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is version 1.3 will not have subfactions. I've sucessfully added subfactions and everything was working 100% except I had to replace the MCV with a mobile base unit that would do the same thing as a MCV. The reason I posponed it was the large work load and extra balancing I wasn't ready to do. I want to add second functions to each unit and by making an extra 6 units and the new mcv making it 7 it was causing problems with units just being replaced or becoming useless. I want each unit to be usefull early game and late game, and some of the new faction units would replace the role of the Raptor tank or wolverine for example. Anyways subfactions were working, but I wont be adding it this update.
The good news is I’m adding something equally oustanding! The entire game will be rescaled to 1024x768 making it the new minumum resolution. The entire UI has been overhauled/rescaled to fit the new resolution and with all new visuals! The menu’s will have all new buttons, backrounds, sounds, and music to give it a unique feel seperating it from the other mods on ppm (not that its a bad thing
)
These are still a work in progress and I will also be replacing the sliders, buttons, and font.
Main Menu: (1024x768)
Map Select: (1024x500 Widescreen)
Skirmish Menu: (1024x500 Widescreen)
And as for gameplay, GDI got a large boost of fighting speed for now the Vulcan, Sam, and RPG tower are now built with the Componant tower attached. Also the Powerplant is built with all powerturbines attached and provides 150% regular power. This is such a simple thing yet it helps GDI so much. The Ghost has been replaced with Mutant Warrior which was the Mutant Alliance faction unit. The Ghost unit animation is now used for the Nod Oracle.
The Mobile Sensor array now is built as a structure not as a vehicle and comes with new cameo’s. AI will now build the sensor array so a stealth tank rush is now alot less effective against bots.
As for maps you alreayd know of the Grand Canyons remake, I will finish detailing it and fix the map preview.
I will be making another map since I like adding 2 new maps per update and It will be a Conquest type map. There are alot more fixes that are done but I will post them later and with several screenshots. Well back to work....
