Site Stuff - 10:54 PM GMT
Just an update on what's going on here at TumSun. I've added some more images and a new section, The Developers, to the RA2 Images Section, the total number of images in the section is now 67, the largest on the net. I've added two more brand spanking new previews to the RA2 Preview/Review Section so be sure to check that out. The TS Modifications has also been fixed due to the large number of broken links. If you are still having a problem send an email over my way.

Over at BG:TS, Olaf informed Andreas about his Voxel editor, which will be released soon. This is a major development in the TS editing world, so be sure to keep your eyes on The XCC Site, and head over to BG:TS to see a screenshot.

More Red Alert 2 Info - 12:25 PM GMT
Hello again. I have just found (on RedAlert2.org), what is probably the most detailed Red Alert 2 preview so far. It answers quite a lot of questions, for example.

I asked Browder if there would be a map editor or a random mission generator. He replied, "We do not have a random mission generator, I don't think we have plans to release map editor."

Mod Stuff - 1:49 AM GMT
Over at BattleGround:TS, They received an email from Destroyer outlining his current projects. Without furthur ado...

I have made a TS mod that is different from most mods out currently, it is based on something non-C&C realated. I present Transformationa mod based on the Transformers. Its page is here.
This mod is completed unless an artist would like to make graphics, someone wants to rewrite the AI script, or the community finds any bugs or has a great idea for the mod.

I'm also working on a Dune to TS mod called Dune: the Desert Sun. Its homepage is here.


My first mod and still in progress mod the CABAL Project is still available here and a new version for Firestorm will be released soon

German Interview Translated - 1:20 AM GMT
Over at BG:RA2, they've translated one question question from an interview, conducted by the german mag PC Action, with two of RA2's designers. Here's what happened when they tried to run the question through one of those internet translation pages:

PCA: Which crucial modifications will it give contrary to C&C to 3 Tiberian Sun?

Bonin: We participate, the play flow in C&C uncertainty phase red 2 umzukrempeln. We want to arrange uncertainty phase red 2 more rapidly, more direct and more binding.

XCC Mixer updated - 1:07 AM GMT
Olaf van der Spek, creator of XCC mixer, sent me an email saying that there's a new version available. Here's what's new:

Changes:
Built-in VQA -> AVI convertor (works for TD, RA and TS (and maybe Dune 2000))
Built-in TMP TS -> PCX convertor
TMP TS viewer

RA Video - Part II - 10:00 PM GMT
OK, this time BG:RA2 have taken a movie, made by someone else and recoded it in Real Player format. This movie is a million times better than the previous one, as the makers of this one have actually matched the camera speed to the screen refresh speed, which means you don't have an epileptic fit while watching it.

Head over to BG:RA2 to take a look.

BTW, apologies to BG:RA2 for criticising them in my previous post, I erroneously suggested that they made the previous movie, which I prompted went onto slag off. That movie was bad, this one is 100 times better and BG:RA2 have done a wonderful job. :)

Site Stuff - 1:51 AM GMT
First off, I'd like to welcome our newest staff member Kick244. He will be joining the news department and will help to bring you all of the latest C&C news. To borrow a line from the Simpsons; You might remember him from such sites as TibTwilight.com and FoO.

Also, I set the headlines feature of NewsPro up and you can see that on the top of the right sidebar. We also have loads of new content on the way which should start rolling out as soon as tommorow. Also, TTR (I wonder who works there?) has a new high-res Renegade movie posted thats well worth the download.

RA2 Movie - 1:05 PM GMT
Over at CCIN they have gotten their hands on a movie taken at E3 by the German gaming magazine PC Action. Its compiled from from various recordings at E3 and the movie includes various shots of the game in action. You see a giant squid attack a ship (quite cool actually), parachutists being dropped off (what's more, they finally have decent parachutes, not the 10x10 pixels in RA or TS!!) and various any other things. It's worth a download if you have a high speed connection, but I wouldn't bother if you have a 56k or less. You can see some screen shots from the film over at CCIN

Thanks to BG:RA2 for the tip.
