After some thinking I decided to cover Dune related news, after all they are also classic Westwood games. 
Open Dune a Dune 2 clone project have released their second version:
Today we are proud to announce the release of OpenDUNE 0.2 This will be the first release featuring our re-doing of the original code, as such, several ‘enhancements’ have been made, enhancements which we find will improve the game, without changing the feel of the game. A complete list can be found here. As per usual, a changelog has been made, and can be viewed http://binaries.opendune.org/releases/0.2/changelog.txt.Please keep in mind that until we can convert more of the game, you still need to manually put the Dune2 data files in the proper directory; if you do not, the game will not start.
For more info and downloads check the Open Dune website -www.opendune.org

RA2/YR Mapping Competition: Cartographer's Call II |
|
| January 16, 2010, 10:21:57 AM by Aro | 0 comments | Write Comment |
I'm organizing another mapping contest for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge called Cartographers Call Competition II (Obviously following after the original Cartographers Call Competition). This is entirely different from any Open Map Competition, especially by its rules.
First of all, only skirmish maps made from scratch and never revealed anywhere are accepted and terrain expansion maps are NOT allowed. The maps will be reviewed by 3 judges (Aro, Ixith, Dudeinabox). Mappers may only submit one map. Rules are the same as they were in the previous competition. For additional Information on the rules, judging and prizes go to this thread.
This contest does not have any symmetry restriction, which means that you may submit tournament looking maps. Each map can be rated up to 100 points, where they'll be distributed in the following way:
20 points for Detail
20 points for Layout
20 points for Lighting
20 points for Game play
20 points for Triggers.
You have until the 15th of Februrary to submit your map. Good luck and for more details, check the rules of the contest.
Please post comments in the competition thread!

Community Mod Roundup |
|
| January 16, 2010, 07:07:28 AM by Aro | 0 comments | Write Comment |
It seems I'm seriously busy recently. My social life eating up most of my free time, helping Strike-Team with the QM Patch, Twisted Insurrection and of course my recent hiring as a Moderator and promoter of the CNCGuild, not to mention all the things I do for PPM, but as always, I'm still doing what I can for this community whenever I get the chance.
PPM Mod Updates:
- Gangster has announced the rebirth of his mod Tiberian Sun: ReWire over at the Sandbox forums. There is no Mod called Sandbox, but the forum is home to many of Gangster's projects such as TS:ReWire and Red Alert II. Anyhow, ReWire is a total conversion mod turning Yuri's Revenge into Tiberian Sun with stunning graphics, so far it looks very promising with some excellent models made by both Gangster and DonutArnold.
- Reaperrr has anounced that he has decided to work on Return of the Dawn 2.8 again for the time being.
- I (Aro) have posted many new terrain images in the Twisted Insurrection forums. These new terrain pieces are remakes of old Twisted Insurrection terrain and a few before-and-after shots comparing TI's terrain to the Tiberian Sun terrain. Check it out in this thread.
I have also posted a thread asking you, the public to vote for what you'd like to see as Twisted Insurrection's third theater. Go to this thread to cast your vote and give an opinion.
- The Dawn of the Tiberium Age had a recent release (as previously posted here) which means more screenshots and media are popping up for people to view. Bittah Commander has announced progress on a new DTA patch which should be posted public some time soon, keep your eyes open.
- DaFool has posted some progress on the Red Alert 2 Allies for Invasion Confirmed, the Generals mod that features every Red Alert faction in history! Check out the Red Alert 2 Allies thread here. Hopefully we'll be seeing the rocketeers fully functioning soon.
CNCGuild Mod Updates:
- SSTG has posted some updates over at the Dark Rising forums. This RA2 enhancement mod looks interesting and I'd suggest giving it a look at if you're interested in mods such as AG:SA.
- Allied General has posted some new Media and Miscellaneous Information for his semi-total conversion mod, AG:SA (Allied General's: Shattered Alliance). The new media features new voxels used in the mod along with new GUI made by myself, Starkku, OmegaBolt and others. Be sure to check out it, it's a blast online!
- Some old news not necessarily related to a mod. Mig Eater posted lots of new voxels up for download over at the CnCGuild's Voxels and SHP's section. Be sure to check them out, these high quality voxels can spice up the graphics of any mod.
