Report RSS Contra 009 FINAL Patch 2 Release

Many months have passed since patch 1 was released, and what was supposed to be "just" a patch with minor changes and fixes, turned out to be a very important release! Enjoy the package!

Posted by on

Just before Holidays, we decided to finally release long awaited Patch 2 for Contra 009 FINAL!

We know that patch 1 was long time ago and you expected patch 2 earlier this year, but we packed so many things into this that at the end it was worth waiting.

This Holiday special bundle includes: reported bug fixes, new artwork, new voices, new general's powers, fixed AI, new maps, new launcher and new VPN!

- So, let's start with bug fixes and in-game changes!

To avoid huge list in this important article, you can read full changelog by following this link: Moddb.com

- Just some of the new artwork!
A lot of in game stuff is changed, from units, effects, to game menu interface. Most of the beautiful stuff you will experience while playing.
However, as usual, here are some new renders of redesigns:

Humvee1

Humvee2

As seen in official videos, Valanx is replaced with Hummer variants. There are 2 random variants with snow version.

Avenger

Super Weapon and Air Force generals use Hummer-based Avenger

Seraph

Old Seraph mech is redesigned with concept similar to other angel type units!

Marauder

GLA Marauder tank is now using its original Zero Hour concept, but much more detailed and improved!

Corvus

Most of the "spawn" generals powers in game are balanced in such way, that they are dropped by planes. This change affected GLA and for this purpose small cargo plane has been made. Corvus will drop demo traps, acid, toxins and tunnel drillers.

Gatling

China Gatling defense is also improved visually!

**** For these Holidays we made something even more special for our players. Redesigned Tournament Island map with Christmas details. If you want to have fun with your friends, this map is the best one to start with ****

Tournament Island (Xmas Special)

1

Supplies

Snowman

Santa

- Also check official trailer for Patch2, made by our tester Mustafa

- Contra is richer by one new dimension now, thanks to voice actors and amazing job they did for so many units: Matthew Vanston (1, 2), Trench Dog (1), Forrest McGilvray, Connor Miranda (1), Cari Scholtens, TryToEpic (1, 2), Kinsmarck (1), Greekas, Caroline Sawatzki, Maelstrom (1)

- Contra Launcher has been reworked to support a new VPN. Once again you have everything you need with one control panel:

Please NOTE that we provide new VPN now, Tinc is replaced with Zero Tier. If you want to use Zero Tier, remove Tinc from your Contra folder and simply paste files provided in Patch2 package!

Launcher

- Now you can also support us and our work. Contra is larger than before, and includes many collaborators and skilled people who share and sacrifice their free time in order to expand and improve this mod. All the support will be a reward used for further projects and keeping current one alive (such as VPN maintenance)

Support


Contra 009 FINAL PATCH 2


At the end, once again we want to say thanks to all the good people who voted for Contra in the last MOTY.
It's always good to see that hard work is appreciated, and so it can be this year too.
Contra is already in second round and we are happy for this, but feel free to vote once again and help us score better!

I'm amazed how your artists manage to pull off textures that feel like they come with a normal map layer, even though it seems it's just thick black lines. That's impressive!

Hello! I play with a friend online on the network and the error is constantly knocking out in the middle of the game "technical difficulties" who knows how to remove it? Maybe this is due to the fact that he has Windows 7, and I have Windows 10? And yet, it happens that at the beginning when you click to start the game there is a countdown 3.2.1. I'm loading, but my friend is not loading, how can I fix this? And why is this even happening?

Don't you know if the latest updated for Windows didn't **** up Generals again?
Because I had a functioning installations for various mods and now none of them work. It's not a CONTRA issue, ROTR, TEOD and Shockwave don't work either.

EDIT: Nevermind. I restarted my PC and it all works again. It was the technical difficulties error, but it's gone now.

So there's some tooltip missing, on both Contra addons and the edited originals. Any solutions?

Make the SEALs snipers like the Chinese snipers and allow them to climb and swim. Maybe set up bombs like the Chinese rocket soldiers. Maybe only 5 at a time for balance? 10 but longer count down? Please? That would be so freakin cool! Or make a special forces USA general. :D

I don't think that would be a good idea, that would make the SEALs overpowered and they're already tough to kill.

Just make them snipers like China's snipers, then? Or maybe just half of them? 😁 😁 😁

Like I said, it's not a good idea. Imagine if said SEALs were on the enemy side, you'd literally find yourself with multiple Jarmen Kells.

I understand that this is your mod and you decide what to change there, and my right to play it or not, but these all sorts of angels from a cyber general are you serious ??? such **** did soon the contra would turn into an anime mod.
Я понимаю что это твой мод и ты сам решаешь что там менять, а мое право играть в него или нет, но эти всякие ангелы у кибер генерала ты серьезно??? такое дерьмо сделал скоро контра превратится в аниме мод.

It makes more sense than the generic looks. After all, they are angels. Also, the insolent attitude is really unnecessary.

Why are there some hieroglyphs (such as 0<?0=8O 48=) in the russian localization file (generals.csf) instead of russian words? How can I edit it and add my own strings in russian?

Почему в файле русской локализации (generals.csf) какие-то иероглифы (типа 0<?0=8O 48=) вместо русских слов?
Как ее можно редактировать и дополнять своими строчками на русском?

Очень часто играем с друзьями по сети и несколькими ИИ, к сожалению в 3-4 играх из 5 вылетает ошибка рассинхронизации, или же просто игру выкидывает. Может мы можем как-то помочь, и например отправить вам логи?

hey everyone , i have a problem which is , when i'm playing then i click the windows button in my keyboard to quit to desktop , and then i go back to the game , sounds and voices won't work , until i go to settings and then click the accept button like i have changed the volume level , and then sounds will work again .
actually i could deal with that a little bit , and do these steps every single time.
but the big issue is , when i change the game resolution in the contra launcher / more options , and start the game with that resolution , it will not be the same resolution inside the game settings , it will be 800 x 600 and not the resolution that i selected , so when i click accept inside the in game settings to reactivate the sounds , it'll change the resolution too , and the game will crash , and most of the time i'll have to reboot my pc .
i tried to be as clear as possible , please help me

Download and install GenTool: Gentool.net
It will fix the resolution bug.
If the game crashes on game minimization, run the game in Windowed Borderless mode (you can set that in GenTool menu in-game). Press the Insert key on your keyboard to bring up the GenTool menu.
