Posted by predator_bg on January 27, 2021 in Contra News (eng)

Welcome to another update! A small hotfix patch has just been released!

NOTE: This hotfix includes cosmetic and solo play changes only, so it is not required to keep playing online! You will not get a mismatch if some players have the hotfix, but others don't.

Contra Launcher will ask you to download and apply the hotfix, so you don't have to bother doing it manually.

There's not quite too much more to say or show, so here's a straight link to the changelog: https://www.moddb.co...angelog-part-23

0 Contra 009 FINAL PATCH 3 released!

Posted by predator_bg on December 31, 2020 in Contra News (eng)

Happy New Year everyone!

Thank you for voting once again in this year's MOTY!
We made it to honorable mentions, and that's a good sign that people still love and support our work.

As promised, Patch 3 is here!!!!

We've worked hard, especially this month, to make even more content. As usual we worked on all aspects, visuals, balances, voices, bug fixes, everything to improve previous version and to give something new, as we heading towards our final goal = Contra which will have everything in its best!

There are many people who are working with us freely, artists, testers, voice actors, mappers. They are all respectively listed and credited in Credits!

With every update, we also share sneak peak of new stuff. We will respect tradition!

USA Cybernetic Lancer Droid model was not well received by many people as it didn't fit rank 1 drone army. Lancer benefits from AP Bullets upgrade (+25% damage).

We started with GLA structures in past, adding extra objects to each side to make structures even more unique. We continued with all other factions too. You will notice them in game even more.

Please, feel free to use this download button and give yourself a treat!!
And special thanks to people who support us, their names are listed in Credits! It means a lot to us!

0 Contra 009 work in progress - News Update 17

Posted by predator_bg on December 14, 2020 in Contra News (eng)

Hello everyone!!!

A lot of time passed since our last update, but this doesn't mean we stopped working on the mod.

This year was weird and strange for all of us, we can agree on that.

Current situation caused unpredicted stuff in our real life, but still we try to find time and inspiration for continued work, even though most of the times it doesn't turn out as we wanted.

All of you were kind to us, supported us, and once again you voted for us and helped us achieve TOP 100 in MOTY.

Please, throw a vote for us one more time, so we might have a good score in top 100 too -> https://www.moddb.co...he-year-awards/

This means a lot for us, and in order to return a favor we decided to post an article about progress.

Besides dozens of balance changes, there are also many visual updates and improvements.

Here are some of them....

- All USA factions (besides Cybernetic general) got new Machine gun defense structure. Patriot turret was universal defense, effective vs all types of units (infantry, vehicles, aircraft, structures) and often it was used and abused for early rush, in combination with cheap structures like Barracks with upgraded Security Systems. This often lead to early game deciding moments with building Patriot near enemy supplies (mostly vs China). In order to change this, and make game more fair, Patriot defense is now barely effective vs infantry units (such as RPG-s), and none of the USA structures benefit from Security Systems, except Supply Center (Security Systems damage is increased since it can be only used on Supply Center). New Machinegun defense is cheap and does not consume power. It is effective only vs. infantry and light vehicles. Can be upgraded with Flashbangs to stay effective in the later stages. Rushing with USA dozers is harder now, since you need to combine both Patriot and Machinegun defense to cover all targets.

- Most of the visual changes were focused towards Laser general, and his unique way of playing. Unlike all other generals (except Cybernetic general), Laser general favors gaining experience the most. Basic laser powered units, with each veterancy state change too. We saw it in patch 2 already, but now laser colors are corrected, experience gaining through destroying targets is harder (currently you need 20% more EXP pts for rank up). Laser powered units do have help gaining veterancy, and it is through 3 generals powers. Veterancy generals powers are linked and accessible at rank1, rank3, and rank5 game phases by the cost of 2pts each.

Biggest change is their visual update, which helps you determine which laser damage currently they have (red, green, blue, violet).

- Besides laser visuals, Microwave tank got a makeover too, since he was using Avenger's basis.

- Many changes were done to Super Weapon general as well. We are very proud of Saturn's makeover. Besides just a visual update, he has a new weapon. He fires a new beam which has huge potential to freeze targeted vehicles, so in general he fires Ice beam.

- But we didn't forget other generals too. China infantry general was mostly changed in order to be more balanced, and more appealing to player. Helix is replaced with new helicopter, Harbin.

Harbin has speed and cost of Thor, but health of Helix. His basic weapon is a small machine gun, but his main characteristic are the bunker slots (currently 2).

Some in-game screenshots. New Saturn:

Updated Sturm-S model and skin: https://media.moddb...._comparison.jpg

Redone Phobos chassis. As the chassis suggests, Phobos is now a hovering unit, thus can traverse water: https://media.moddb...._comparison.jpg

In the end of this update, we want to answer you on the most asked question:

"when patch 3 will be released"

The answer is:

"we are hoping, and we are targeting upcoming holidays (during or shortly after) to be perfect for patch 3 release"

There is still work left to be done, but we will try to make these holidays a bit better for all of us. We all deserved this.

If you still wish to support us, and help us, feel free. We are grateful, and supporters will be credited in upcoming release.

0 C&C: Reloaded 2.1.0

Posted by FS-21 on December 3, 2020 in C&C:Reloaded News

C&C: Reloaded 2.1 released with latest CnCNet support and tons of changes.

The most noticeable changes of this release are:
- Save / Load games fixes. Specially the missing name of some TS missions.

- Apocalypse tank replacement in the alternative Soviet tech tree.
Unlike the standard Apocalypse tank it has no air weapons. Enemy units that are being grinded can't move and/or attack.
Grinded mode produces money when the enemy unit is destroyed:

- Nod receives naval anti-air support with the Hydra submarine.
It has 2 working modes: surface and submerged.
=> In the surface (default behaviour) it can hit ground and air targets with the twin missile pods.
=> When submerged it switch the missiles with waterproof missiles that function like torpedoes.

- Added 2 units available at the civilian Tech lab:
-> Mobile EM-Pulse. The old TS:Firestorm unit with a portable EMP cannon. Until the charge is full it can't fire.
-> Guardian tank. When deployed it paints targets making them a 50% more vulnerable.

- Added the EMP Cannon for GDI and Nod. This Super Weapon has a limited attack range around the structure like in Tiberian Sun.

- Added the "Free for All" Game Mode. No alliances allowed.
- AI tweaks, fixes and improvements.

It can be downloaded in the downloads section:
