  • [Tiberian sun] Downloading mods
    2 projects | /r/commandandconquer | 3 May 2023
    I downloaded Ion Shock and ran it through Bitdefender's scanning and it didn't get any hits. Just from my observation, it appears to be a mod sort of hacked together from the CnCNet client and seems to be packing the trifecta of exe patches in Kratos, Phobos, and (of course) Ares? That's not to say there couldn't be something nasty thrown into the mix for runtime but I'm a bit too lazy to get it actually running just to check that out.

    Eh sadly the compression applied by Reddit is eating the quality of gifs :( You can see the gifs in full quality on GitHub and on ModDB.
  • Is there an open source version of Red Alert 2 engine with campaigns support?

    Maybe you could try https://github.com/Phobos-developers/Phobos ? Not very familiar with the project myself, but will alert people who might know.
  • Modern RTS style box selection, coming to YR mods near ya

    This is one of the features I've implemented in a new engine extension for YR called Phobos (for unaware - it provides mods with yet unseen features in YR. You can check the GH repo here.) - ability to mark some units as low-priority, which means that like in modern RTS games you won't send your harvies head first into enemy lines. If you want to support us there are also Patreon links on the right of the repo page. Oh and also, the mod in the screenshot is Rise of the East, which is a good quality mod that introduces Generals content to YR in a nice way, I personally recommend to play it.
