Welcome to another Contra update and Happy Easter!
This time it took longer to release a news update, but the work never stopped since the last update. There's work behind the scenes and there's work you see in news such as new models. After all, we posted News Update 11 and 12 one week apart like never before, while keeping them detailed.
Weather Manipulation Device (or WMD) is in the spotlights again. But why this model again? A sudden game crash was preventing us from inserting the model with all the initial details. Fortunately, that was fixed and the model was successfully inserted and looks as good as planned.
Laser general's Tokamak super power plant got a texture overhaul and it glows on night maps.
Salvage Factory is a new building for Assault general. It was about time for Assault to get a special building since Stealth has Jammer Station, Toxin has Chemical Lab and Demo has Airfield. This new building is of course still being tested, but currently, it is available at rank 3 and costs $3000. Salvage Factory drops a salvage crate at the red mark each few seconds. Players have to manually place their tank on that spot in order to get the crate. In addition, "Recycling" upgrade is now available for research at this structure, thus at rank 3. We have some more ideas for this structure which may become active abilities.
The good old SDI Cannon is now a good new SDI Cannon. All stats remain unchanged.
One good screenshot follows up. Let's not forget about the standard way of showing cool stuff, hey! Infantry general's Troop Crawlers...
... but it's not over yet. Particle and sound effects have also been improved without performance cost.
Before we end this update, we want to link you to Maelstrom's twitch. He streams Contra every Saturday, showing new content while testers play online: Twitch.tv
He was very generous to record new voice lines for Angel robots, and is planning to do some more for other units.
And as usual: Link to Discord.
Hope you enjoyed!
Nice update developers ❤
Glad to see you guys are still working on this ^^
SDI Cannon looks super lovely, well done :o
Wow, that's a nice SDI cannon. Finally something American that doesn't look overly sci-fi as if aliens made it (*cough* cyber *cough* general *cough*). I see your textures improved greatly, these new troop crawler skins also fit the overall scheme much better than the old monochrome green ones.
Awesome Work, I'm super glad that there is still work being done on this mod!!
-Hype boner increases-
wow.. nice... update
i'll be waiting for the release.......
Gosh, I love this friggin' mod.
is contra009 final has missions (GLA,USA,CHINA)
im glad to see you guys still working on contra 009
thanks <3
hi, where can i download this new update? thanks
You can't.
How sad ;-)
Good mod
Shane you didn’t make skirmish have a easy mode instead of just hard ir very hard
Trying to learn all the new building and getting whooped
Why would you remove other difficulties???
Easy AI is making a return in 009 Final.
Hi! Still askin...don't you think that Laser Burton's Lightsaber ability is too strong, men :)
In Persun's video on youtube "How to play Laser" he was rapin' Overlords with this one. Why should he have this ability???
Lightsaber will be rebalanced. However, he will stay. AI is still not finished and the thing that was missing was scout unit within tank horde. Same, and even more damage would do stealth hijackers, bomb trucks, suiciders, etc.....
Очень жду релиза!
How i can play usa china and gla compaing?
You can't because it doesn't exist.
Hi! May be it's too late but I've recently noticed xd
Scolopendra model is awful xd
Also new F-35...probably it's effective (does Air still have "Frog missile" upgrade?) But seems like boring...just twice ammo...
Previous F-35 was more interesting...
Also with comanches...Air becomes just "A lot of rockets" general...
And also xd
That Cyber's anti air robo chiken looks ridiculous
I've told ya xd
Aahhh...robo chiken...again those "Uriels" etc
So awful
Forgot to take the pills rotterdam?
I don't know, seems like Seraph is the only acceptable "chiken" model in this mod. The mod is awesome, men. But chiken...(and Scolopendra ofc).
Well, if its not acceptable to you, i will remodel them. I dont want an 3D expert to be unsatisfied. But just before i remodel them, please check one more time chicken legs, and "Angels" legs, and compare them...and then come back here and read what you wrote.
I mean that the whole conception of chicks is bad :D
(Seraph is an exception)
And also the conception of spiders, walkers xd
I'll try to explain. You see...other generals have standard tank-vehicle conception style. That's why Cyber falls out of the cage :D
Drones're good, Drones Controller is awesome!!! Yos see?)
By the way Infantry's Fortress super unit is also not ice :D
It looks like a big piece of sh*t on tracks (sorry but it's)
You see, ill try to explain it to you. The condition which you have now, must be connected with some brain disorder, or with the lack of brain at all.
You cannot connect few comments in one.
Cyber falls out of the cage because of walkers, but Seraph is exception!? You make sense same as an idiot taking an IQ test.
I do really hope that someday in your life you will come across walkers concept and rich your poor life. And i really hope that this is only a phase in your life, and that someday you will be able to grow few neurons :D You see?
Out of cage, man :D
Seraph just looks not bad that's the reason.
But other walkers're poor xd
And also I have a question. In some Persun's video I've heard that Auroras're fixed now (something with their invulnerability). I want to know exactly what was done.
can someone help me how to update? everytime when i play challenge vs airforce its crash how to fix it?
thats normal, they are trying their best to fix it
Would be also an easy mode for those who want to experiment with the new buildings and units around?
Yes, there will be an Easy difficulty, but you will still need to rank up in order to unlock higher tech.
AI please more intense and aggressiveness. for more points income. tnx =D
and new units?
By the way. There is an interesting fact that airplanes in Generals can't stay in place for a long time (when've received "move" order). And after a few laps they return to their airfield. Not like other units. So the question is WHY? And can it be fixed finally?
Make them guard airspace or just guard, it makes them circle the area you made them guard on. It's not a bug that needs fixing, its a feature itself as some people sometimes accidentally move planes on an area they aren't supposed to put them on and didn't notice them.
Hey)
And by the way of course...Toxin's superunit looks awful.
The way it looks and the way it attacks.
May be the model is nice, but the way like attacks look...
See, USA have satellite
GLA have that flying man
Well, China have signal mines ability - but it's an ability, it costs general points...other fractions don't have to waste points to reveal the enemy.
So question is clear?
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
China is already the faction that is mostly used for finding stealth units, also they got the internet building thingy which allows you to upgrade them to see the enemy command center and the another upgrade for seeing everything every once in a while. You should be thankful they at least got an ability to view areas like the US and GLA does even tho they can't do that in the original.
