Today Isotx is releasing the models, textures, audio and INI scripts from a lost MidEast Crisis Beta on C&C Zero Hour, for free public modding use.
For a while, after MidEast Crisis 1.5, a follow-up Beta was announced, initiallyplanned for C&C Zero Hour, with a variety of new units, upgrades and wacky Easter Eggs like the A-Team and Michael Jackson. This Beta got lost, as now the new sequal -> MidEast Crisis 2.0 is in progress for C&C3.
So in order to save all these art assets, audio and scripts from a miserable death in our dusty closet, we're releasing them for public use (though propper credits required please..).
The package includes all ready and rigged models, animation, audio and scripts for the Michael Jackson and A-Team Easter Eggs, the Israeli Humvee, Israeli Quad, Syrian Machine gunner, Hezbollah fighter, Hezbollah Katyusha crew and various experimental (super)weapons and structures.
Please note that this is not a playable release, it is a WIP alpha that is unplayable. We're releasing this package for our fellow modders, whom can put it to better use than us
Have fun and please let us know when/if you use elements from this package, we're always curious to see where it gets used
This download is featured because I believe it sets a great example for the modding community. Why?
The truth is most mods don't make it and when a mod dies the content dies with it. Where it makes sense I believe mod teams should offer their content to other active teams, since their is no need to re-invent the wheel.
Who knows, it may help a mod team make it to release, and then everyone wins (the gamer, the modders and original content developer who know their work is being put to use).
Indeed! Its always great for inactive mods to release their content.
how the heck does this thing work and what do i do?
"Please note that this is not a playable release, it is a WIP alpha that is unplayable."
If you don't know how to mod the game yourself, this is simply not for you.
Damn right.
is the guy who made this, is he a syrian?
nice, its always good to see people try something new (well kinda new) like this so best of luck and keep up the good work with the mod :D
@gadabout,
Nope, most of the MEC1 team was Dutch or American.
Hey, smurf, it says in teh description that only modders can play it.
Does this mean that we can't play it? I didn't quite understand. :S
well, this is the best thing a dead md can do for everyone. Good job.
Very special thanks for Isotx and Ome Vince!!! :D
These units are definitely going to make their way into my mod:
"A GLOBAL CRISIS".

Stay tuned.
ok, cool. thanks, smurfbizkit.
Im goin to use the Israeli Volvo dozer for Swedish forces as a builder unit for Sweden
Crap, it,s a Cat
if your mod doesnt make it, you should put out your information and models that you made so others can do better with theirs...just leave credit were credit is due.
Sorry, I just sorta burst out laughing at the comment.
can any one tell me how to istoal it
its not working with me
It's an non working alpha for modders. You can't play 1.7, only 1.5.
the downlord for the 1.5 is crap
and y is it zipped that dum and stupid i cant play the 1.5 and i have downloeded it
its not working what do i do
guys, this lost patch is not a fully functional mod, it's a collection of INI scripts, art, audio, etc for modders to use :)
can someone tell me if i can edit things like science points and power recharge times in 1.5?
when I copy and paste the Data folder from the zip file I downloaded the game crash and don't even start! whats the problem?
can someone mix the INI original game files with this mode files( with Syria and Israel INI files)?
So the these files we can use in our own mods, offcourse whilst giving credits to you?
Yes, that's what's stated. Use it freely, as long as you give the proper credits.
