Dawn of the Tiberium Age (DTA) is a stand-alone mod that combines Tiberian Dawn (C&C 95) and Red Alert. While classic mode gets as close to the original game-play and balance as possible, Enhanced mode provides improved game balance and a lot of fun new stuff. DTA features many customization options for Skirmish and multiplayer (where you can play as GDI, Nod, Allies and Soviet on over 200 maps), challenging original singleplayer missions, as well as co-op missions. Since this is a stand-alone mod, you don't require anything but the mod itself to be able to play: the original game is not required.

AedisToru
Made the following maps:

  • Aurora Clash
  • Desert Lakes
  • Small Town USA

AlexB
Wrote the following hacks:

  • The game to allocates all graphics to the system RAM instead of allocating some of it to the video RAM.
    Without this hack, graphics that are normally allocated in the video RAM first have to be copied to the system RAM before the game is able to use them and this process can slow down the game a little or a lot, depending on your system (for some systems it's even so much land that the game becomes unplayable).
  • Idle (guarding) units will no longer chase after enemies that move out of firing range.
  • Units in Area Guard mode will now revert to regular Guard mode when you press S.
  • It's no longer possible for more than 75 icons to appear on the sidebar, causing the game to crash.
  • Made it possible for different harvesters to have different "harvester without back" images.
  • A fix that allows the game to play random music tracks after a theme that's specified for a map has finished playing (normally the game would go silent after a map's specified theme finished playing).
  • A fix that for the infamous "100-unit-bug", that caused the AI to keep spamming only one single unit when more than 100 buildable units exist.
  • Made it possible to have more than one "Base Unit" and "BuildConst structure" in the game.
  • A fix that entirely prevents the "New Construction Options" bug for structures.
  • A fix for a crash that commonly happens on maps where an AI's harvesters and infantry frequently intersect on tunnel entrances.
  • Made health bars appear over units and structures when you hover the mouse cursor over them.
  • Made harvesters automatically move to the nearest tiberium field and start harvesting right after they leave a war factory and also when you select it and press the G (Guard Area) key.
  • Made it unnecessary to hold Alt to set rally points and made it necessary to hold Alt to un-deploy the Aircraft Carrier.
  • Fixed the "Build Off Ally" option so that you were able to build next to civilian structures and laser fences again.
  • Fixed unit shadows so that they wont blink when a unit flashes.
  • Made infantry able to walk over gems (Tiberium Cruentus).
  • Fixed dkeeton's patch that prevents units from automatically firing at barrels.

Aro
Made the sidebar icons for the Hover MLRS, the XO Powersuit, the JumpJet infantry and the Longbow, made
the pebble tiles, the building bibs and made the multiplayer map "Hollow Grave".


Aqrit

Berend Engelbrecht
Developed QRes; a resolution switch tool which is used by DTA to automatically switch to 16-bit colors when running the game in windowed mode.

  • Applied or assisted me with the following HEX hacks:

    • Lowering the laser detail so that they look thinner and will no longer cause WaveClass errors
    • Disable the AutoShore in FinalSun by default (so that I could remove the option)
    • Disable FinalSun's "Tip of the day"
    • Allow the tiberium's image to get affected by lighting

  • Made it possible for saving in multiplayer matches to happen automatically at a specified interval.
  • Made the spy work properly (and thus made it usable) by making sure that after infiltrating another player's radar, that player will only clear shroud for the player that infiltrated their radar and also by making the AI ignore the spy's disguise (it was too overpowered to use against AI players otherwise).
  • Added an option that makes it necessary to hold Alt while pressing the left mouse button to un-depoy units.
  • Added an option to draw a black background behind in-game (chat) messages in order to make them more readable.

  • You no longer need to hold Shift to create a waypoint-loop.
  • Wrote a patch that prevents units from automatically firing at barrels (the patch was slightly adjusted by AlexB to make it work).

Bittah Commander
This is me; the founder and leader of this mod. Considering I started this mod on my own and I worked on my own for over a year, I had already done a large amount of work before I even had to keep track of credits and it'd have been an impossible task to make a list of every individual thing I deserve credit for. So instead of taking on the impossible task of trying to list everything I did since 2006, I'll just state that I did everything aside from the things I credited the people above for.

Realizing that likely only other modders will know exactly what that means, I'll try to list the global roles I've been inovled with that I can think of:

  • Converting (and editing) most original graphics and sounds from Tiberian Dawn (and also many from Red Alert)
  • INI coding
  • HEX hacking
  • Designing the Graphical User Interface
  • Making all of the map preview images
  • Making maps
  • Making/editing SHPs (this includes units, buildings, animations and terrain objects)
  • Making/editing terrain
  • Managing and (if necesssary) fixing or improving work submitted by the staff (this mainly includes maps and SHPs)
  • Designing the client's graphics (background, border and button textures) and some of the layouts

Bittah Commander, I find that you were "brave" to have mixed Red Alert , C & C Tiberian Sun and Rampastring same thing .
