As promised, we are bringing you Contra 009 Final in 2018!
The long wait is finally over! Over 200 bugs have been fixed, many and many balance and stability changes have been made! This is a well polished version. A lot of attention was put in all aspects by all people involved: developers, testers and collaborators! 009 Final introduces three new challengers: USA, China and GLA Boss. Skirmish AI was fixed and then drastically improved. Numerous crash and mismatch errors were found and fixed.
First of all, let us say that we are so grateful and thankful for all of your voting, which helped Contra to score very high in MOTY 2018 and boost Contra's popularity.
As a thank you, we have a small gift which is actually last minute model work. It will improve visuals even more.
Angels for Cybernetic general have been remodelled and improved.
Angels are remade by Creator and dce.
This has been an amazing year for us, and for Contra. Our community grows each day. Many good and talented people are joining us, and helping us improving various segments.
But also, very important news is that Creator is back!
He will join us in our development, and help us achieve our goals and plans for next version, but even more.
Creator already improved some stuff like walking animations for spiders, walkers, projectiles and some more.
One of the new additions is hand-made map previews for all maps (by triatomic). A lot of effort and work is put on this one, everything in order to have better visuals for you!
Of course, there is a brand new launcher made by Predator, with full ContraVPN support (made by tet too)! You no longer have to search people online, struggle with settings....Everything starts with this launcher. ContraVPN is maintained by the wonderful guy tet.
Use this power wisely. Meet other people, join online games, improve your skills.
Of course, if you don't like to play multiplayer games, you can always compete vs improved AI (by Predator), or enjoy redesigned challenge games and fight even Boss generals!
If you need instructions for setting things up, Persun is your guy. His channel is better and better, and has more and more Contra content. Instructions video below!
We have no doubt that more of our friends and streamers will offer more content on their channels. Please check them, and subscribe, so you can be sure not to miss anything: Jundiyy, Maelstrom
One thing which you won't miss if you play Contra, are well-known super units. All of our super units have been voiced by voice actors who made really amazing job: Maelstrom, Matthew Vanston and George Exley
Thanks to WWB2 for big attention to details, helping us with challenge missions and bug hunting, Adriane for making new multiplayer maps and triatomic for the high-quality map previews and decals! Testing 009 Final to ensure quality release would not be possible without Dark_E_Swan, WWB2, Armanis, ParadoX, Persun, tet, triatomic, Marakar, Jundiyy, Adriane, Raven, Noctis, Falcon and Nizar_Haddad for continuous support with testing and reporting issues. Special thanks to Nizar_Haddad for close collaboration in fixing hard-to-fix bugs.
However, we need to warn you about possible Mismatch problems with AI. Blaming SAGE for such thing became a meme, but unfortunately it is a true one. We stretched this old engine in every direction, made sure to have everything polished, but with improved AI, and tons of new stuff, mismatch may happen often if you play online game with your friend vs. AI. So, please keep this in mind. Remove AI and it will be fine.
What more to say at the end of this year!? We wish you all happy and successful New 2019 Year!
See you in neXt adventure!
It was really a pleasure working on this with you guys :)
I had a blast doing those voiceovers, and I will soon host Contra streams, to continue promoting this mod. Congratulations for your well-deserved success !
Great Maelstrom, soon we will have our usual games which i hope you will join and stream!
Oh wow, exciting to hear that Creator's returned. Welcome back!
i love you contra devs! thank you!!
Thanks to everyone
This was posted in 2019?
So, it is not released in 2018?
But, oh yeah, I know what I am playing today.
Posted by ThePredatorBG on Dec 31st, 2018
Few hours ModDB makes authorization, then has server problems. We cannot predict everything.
I was just joking.
Mod works incredibly well and it even seems that the regular crashes that I experienced a lot, have been fixed.
Thanks a lot for all your hard work. Happy new year everyone
I never expected to see a release and right on the edge of the new year. Congratulations for the release guys :)
Fantastic Mod!
Huge props to everyone that contributed to making this masterpiece..
F-16XL're still bugged with fire range (either with "Eye" or without it). I've told ya...
It is a great MOD,Thanks to Contra Mod Team made such Wonderful mod!.I have played 3 challenge already. But I find a small BUG to the SuperWeaponGeneral.The upgreat of MOBA does not work and I spend 30 Minutes finally find that the code of
Behavior = GrantScienceUpgrade in SuperWeaponGeneral.ini has extra 3 ";"in the begin. That makes the code does not work.
It is not a bug. MOAB is removed intentionally.
OK.But the upgrade button is not removed in the ICBM Silo
oh wow. i remember playing this mod back in 2010. glad to see it's still going. gonna have to get zero hour working just to play this mod
The year surely ended with a bang. Congrats!
Great job, excited to see whats new in this version
Do I need to have GenTool installed to play online using your VPN system?
No.
Уважаемые разработчики, у меня к вам вопрос, вы решили не включатб в финальную версию contra 009 пушки для стратегических центров лазерного и супероружейного генералов из этого обзора? Ответьте пожалуйста или это у меня что-то с игрой, раз не показывает...
Yes, they had bugs and were removed.
Очень жаль. Классная штука была. А ещё версии мода будут? К примеру 0010 или может будут патчи для 009?)
И ещё в русской локализации есть не удалённый текст с contra 008 для некоторых юнитов. Который теперь не актуален
И ещё, в поединке между генералами вернут их реплики на русском языке? Раньше была поддержка на русском, теперь они в поединке на английском говорят...
Some Russian text could be outdated.
Russian voices were never supported officially, it was an addon which came from Russian community.
Ясно, а про новые версии мода что скажете?
Будут или будут просто патчи к contra 009? И вернёт ли русское комьюнити голоса в поединке генералов?
We need some time to decide when and if there will be patches or full versions. For now we are taking a small rest from modding. Probably Russian voices will need to be updated to work with the new version because of changed files. I don't know who made them.
Хорошо, спасибо, что уделили время
Есть ещё вопрос, карта на 6 игроков город чемпионата, вроде так называется, виснет при загрузке и всё дальше никак, только через диспечер задач закрываю игру? Эта проблема существует с версии 008. Думал, может исправят в дальнейшем, видимо нет... Может она как-то решаема?
Hello. I could not find the new generals. Can you help me?
New generals USA Cybernetics, China Flame and GLA Assault
If you mean USA, China and GLA Boss, those are fought against in Challenge mode.
only in challenge mode ?? skirmish mode not ???
No, for the sake of balance.
ok :(
This video shows how to activate the boss generals Youtu.be. Requred download finalbig
i think i,ll be bad for my Question
are there anyone sporadic to learn me how to make mod
C&C GENERALS
Nice release, nice, that Creator is back, huge regards) Happy New Year!)
I think Air's Frog Missile should be applied by default and displayed (like Nationalism for Infantry, Napalm for Flame etc). Cause without it airplanes're too ineffective (or require too much micro). Other fractions' airplanes're supporting units, whereas Air's're the main. So they should be effective (I mean "guard" button ofc).
PS
Also I think that F-18 and F-35 should be forbidden from attackin' structures, cuz they're too ineffective 'gainst 'em. So they should be just anti-armor airplanes. Here I mean the same "guard" option efficiency.
Also Colossus is a "feeding" defense for enemy's AA. In addition it's efficiency decreases this way.
And I keep sayin' that Nuke's tank hunters 're ovepowered. I mean, you know they rape everything 1v1 so you can't face 'em. Yeah artillery, but you need prefire, that isn't really smart in practice. Why don't you give defenses to Nuke instead of keepin' such an imbalanced units (Irradiator, that counters any infanrty of being used on the battlefield)? Then remove Hadron Collider (random overpowered stuff) and Nuclear Storm (is it really useful???) and...hey, you probably would get a balanced general :)
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Happy New Year guys, thanks for this amazing mod!
Also seems like Hazael's voice acting is disproportionately loud.
F-35 have no Frog Missile application (in spite of upgrade's description). Patch needed!!!
For some reason, when using The Ultimate Collection (Origin) version of the game, the launcher loads Zero Hour instead of Contra, does anyone have a work around?
Same issue here.
hi and thank you.
but me not change rank.
can help me to change rank 99 and super w no limit.

Is it me, or the challenge against the Superweapon gen. is a bit too masochistic!? (on Hard) - is it supposed to be like this (brocken on hard?)
It became too hard, I agree. It will be fixed. Probably in a patch.
