After some troubles and long development TE 1.6 is released. It´s beta which means there might be some bugs and ballance issues left. If you find anything wrong please report back to me so I can fix that in some future patch.
TE 1.6 is full of experiments that might prove as bad idea so please approach to it open minded. Things like Gdi Firestorm Generator, recently added Nod Tunel Network or more epic/superheavy units for each faction sound cool, but might become serious problem in time, but still I wanted to try it all.

Most important changes in v1.6
There is a lot game improvements and ballance changes, but unfortunately over time I have lost track about what is really new and what is old. So here is some of the most important things you should know before play.
General:
- Added wall gates to all factions - important note - due engine limitations gates requires precise placing, I´m sorry but this is the only way.
- All stealth detectors show aura style radius which tell you how far they see cloked units
- Added Weinhole monster - in general works as tiberium field but damages also vehicles (except harvesters), weins can be also harvested by all factions and got 3x greater value than green tiberium, unlike tiberium field weinhole monster can be destroyed though.
- All new superheavy units is no longer in Tacitus archive as was previously announced, but have been added to normal production.
- Presence of Leviathan mothership, Kodiak II and Montauk on map is for now announced by Eva as "mothership deployed" (from certain poit of view all of them can be understand as some sort of mothership)
- Added a lot and lot props into world builder
- Added snowy and ice bridge into world builder
- New skirmish maps - Tiberium infestation, 4 player map, 2v2 style
- Arctic Desolation, 4 player map, free for all
GDI
- Added Kodiak II Command ship to Air tower production tab, unique superheavy aircraft - support, anti-aircraft and anti-tiberium role.
- Added Firestorm generator - defensive structure, can activate firestorm plasma shield - makes allied units virtually invulnerable while in the same time damages enemy units.
- Call for transport cost 100. Requires Dropship command. Transport aircraft flee of map after unloading its cargo as do in vanilla CnC3. Changed back on request.
- Removed Mobile EMP from warfactory due ballance issues (at least for now).
- Jetpack Trooper - attack damage vs vehicles reduced by 50% and vs aircraft by 25%, reduced armor vs missile type weapons.
Nod
- Added Montauk Command vehicle to Construction yard production tab, unique superheavy vehicle, support and anti-aircraft role, deploys additional reinforcement.
Note Montauk do not deploys into warfactory! Based on experience I have gain over time I find this idea not good really, it made montauk easy target and unable to gain experience (which can´t be fixed anyway)
- Added Tunel Network Center to Construction yard support tab - works as substation tech structure in vanilla cnc3, only 3 units at once can enter tunel network due some engine limitations
- Saboteur benefits from Forced Evolution upgrade
- Added Taratula drone to Secret Shirne production tab - in general replaces fanatics as nod suicidal unit, cloked when stand still
Scrin
- Added Conqueror command walker to Gateway production tab, unique superheavy walker, support role, seeds tiberium, assimilate technology by killing enemy units, heals scrin units
- Annihilator got new model, changed from tripod to quadropod, got 3 turrets
- Stormrider - tiberium upgrade replaced by plasma missile upgrade that improves his anti-air attack power earlyer in game, available on Nerve center
- Leviathan mothership - removed seed tiberium ability, enabled anti-air attack and blink pack
- Contaminators spawned by Corrupter and Leviathan weapons can see in small radius
So try it and report back anything on your mind.
I hope v1.6 fulfill at least partially your expectations. I have tried to do my best, but you know, sometimes some things not go as planned. Anyway I will keep working on TE to make even better in future.
Carnius
Hoora! Downloading right now, thank you for all the hard work!
Holey Moley, Thank you very much for the release, great job!
Thank you Carnius! will test this asap!
You fcki***g Rock Carnius :D Thx A Lot for Your Hard work. Greetings from Nuremberg, Germany ;)
Sers hast du lust den mod online zu spielen
You fcki***g Rock Carnius :D Thx A Lot for Your Hard work. Greetings from Nuremberg, Germany ;)
The bugs i found so far
- The gates either don't open (via the icon or disappear)
- Veinhole monster is weinhole monster
Need to test more
Btw i love the new arctic map and added units :)
Also when i play nod i hear someone laughing like a maniac ? what is that ?
"Also when i play nod i hear someone laughing like a maniac ? what is that ?"
I think it's Cyborg Commando :D
And there's something wrong with GDI's Zone Commando. The EMP grenade ability cannot be used.
its the cyborg commando laughing CABAL from firestorm
Yeam, Carnius should remove that fx I think.
Umm... This might be a stupid question but which skirmish maps feature Tacitus Archive? I want to check these new units out but I cannot find any maps including it.
I've found a little bug. You can load your Montauk into a transport aircraft. Not only Montauk acltually gets put AROUND that aircraft, but also I don't think it is supposed to be transportable via air.
how do u load this game if u have 1.51 through desura?
Awesome Carnius, will take a look sooner rather than later if all goes well.
is that helicopter for the repair bay support power a place holder?
HA! I waiting long time for this!!
Don't mind me... Just cleaning off my copy of C&C 3.
I will download it when I go home :). Thanks Carnius!!
All of these extra units are always good, but I do agree here Carns, Its sooooo imbalanced and I can surely see that this is an experimental beta, more than likey more than one of these extras stuff will be cut for the sake of gameplay.
Though having the source codes for em contents for the public would be nice, though thats just me having wishful thinking.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh finally 1.6! I stayed up all night with it...It's awesome, but I wonder why my AI seems to become stupid...Guess I got to have a nap now.
Now do the same for Desura, the old version (1.51 BETA) is still there.
Were the Railgun Jugs removed?
You might also want to fix the Mutant Units text boxs still says only 3 can be trained at a time
Downloaded and had a very quick go at GDI and Nod. I am really disapointed with the new Nod Soldier icon. Why was it replaced to something screencapped out of a TS cutscene? It looks veru ammatuer-like.
Also, a lot of the (Previously pointed out) errors and misspellings from the last version are still in the mod.
My first impression is quite a rough one. I really hope Ive overlooked something cool to make it worthwhile the wait.
TRULY A MASTERPIECE FROM THE MESSIAH HIMSELF
CARNIUS IS THE TRE TRUE MESSIAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much pay so much hard work!
So dang fun.... but I can't seem to get the Montauk to level up.... I even grabbed a level crate. I love the Kodiak but I think it might move a little quick but love it still. just a couple of things I noticed thus far that might be worth looking at. Love this mod Carnius
Damn awesome work man! Nod/Scrin gets its own super heavy walker and GDI it's heavy flyer.
Does this work with Kane Edition of Tiberium Wars?
Nice news !
Has anyone else noticed that when trying to take down the rift generator when you get it to a certain point in health you lose the ability to target it again?
YES!
Try them all Carnius, you are one of the most gifted modder that Moddb has ever had.
More structures, more techs, more mechs, + forgotten faction please!
If anyone can do it, it you Carnius and those that work with you.
just been playing, was deffianatly worth the wait
all we need is more maps with the new tech buildings and props (for some reason i can't find them in world builder)
Carnius listed what structure they are in the readme file (the mod changes it to the tech building when you start the mod
yeah I looked in there and I still can't find them
what do you mean the mod changes them to the tech building?
would it be for example: I place the structure "tech lab" on a map then when I play the mod it will become the Tacitus Archive?
Ya you place the building he lists and when you play the game the Tacitus will be there
aahhhhh cool
what about the crashed carryall and other props?
not sure I haven't seen anything telling me how to use those....
I found 2 bugs, don't know if its the original game or the mod, but on Rocktagon the massive tiberium field isn't massive anymore. Its the size of a normal field now. Also on the same map, 2-3 minutes into the game the mod will freeze.
For the Kodiak, do you plan on maybe adding a bit more fire power to it? The beam it has is awesome but I feel like the air craft could use more to it.
Other than that, fantastic job with the mod. I love it!!!! :D
I don't know, I think the Kodiak Fire power it's ballancely fine, maybe a little modification to banshees attacks?, well it's just my point of view, greetings :D
Hey there my game keeps crashing? I just downloaded tiberium essence 1.6. It just freezes and than stops. Anybody else got this problem?
yes me too
FOR the ppl which is getting D3D OUT OF MEMORY ERROR check my solition:
Here you go guys this is how did i fixed my own D3D out of memory problem in the first of all do this steps before the start.
1-)Update your Graphic driver.
2-)İnstall latest DirectX from microsoft's site.
Step 1-)Then lets consentirate the solition.Before everything first go to your install direction to where you installed your C&C3 game then copy your 'Autorun' file in to your game folder.
Step 2-)İnside that Autorun file there is called autorun.cfg open it with a notepad then change the path which is called 'DirectXverison=DirectX9.0c' to DirectXverison=0 save it and close.
Step 3-)Copy and paste your DirecTX folder from your Game DVD in to your game installed folder C://blablablalba/Tiberium Wars than rename that folder to DirectX9.0c.
Step 4-)The last step Start your game everytime from that autorun folder which we created inside your game folder than choose TE 1.6 from there.
İf you are still getting D3D error this changes what we done is giving you one more possibility;
Open any skirmish round , make a save game after 3 minutes if it crashs run the game again and load the game from that file you will see you will never get crash anymore ! Share this solition the everyone pls
Well I got tiberium Wars on STEAM, do you maybe know where the autorun file than is? thanks :)
Hi Canius, greetings from Chile. (By the way, forgive my bad english, I speak spanish XD)
I've found some bugs and maybe some ideas for all.
- the new Air Scrin unit of the Research Tacitus Building, flying around and do not like the others air basic scrin units, I mean, to turning back.
-The doors when it's opened, yo can build on it (a turret for example), and when you closes again, dissapears without sense.
-Firestorm it's a good idea in this graphic engine, but it should make invulnerable structures too, just like Classic TS, the radius it's ok. Maybe a little extension of active time? 15 to 20 or more
-Kodiak when crash against a enemy building, didn't makes damage, a little damage of course, for example, in RA2, the Kirov Airship when crash into the ground (or into an enemy or allied structure) makes a little radius but powerful damage.
-GDI Commando didn't attack buildings with normal click, and the "mini-ion cannon" could be have a fade effect? I mean, not a suddendly shot of the sky, and later goes suddently too.
the mod it's awesome, I'm still play it starting to 1.4 because I didn't a good computer in those times, but now, I have it, and I'm play with my friends, now this cool beta version, bugs are details like always, but in self the mod it's good.
I hope this comment helps a little to improve the mod much more :D
Hi all.
I've found an other...thing. Condor transport it's expensive itself, but you can buy it with a cost of $100 XD...how? soldiers call air transport, right? well, that's it. XD (unfairly rush style maybe?)
Is anyway getting any random crashes after 1-2 minutes playing the new version? It seem to just stop for no reason and comes up with the message "CnC3 has stopped working" (something along those lines)
running windows 8 and my graphics driver is up to date.
tested on the rockathon with 8 players (as well, is the tiberium field in the middle smaller? )
Hi Carnius and all fo you: (Don't forget my bad english pls :p)
I've found another bugs:
-Firestorm building isn't invulnerable when it's active and attack it by the enemy.
-Firestorm building when it's destroy it active, the sphere effect still there.
-When Kodiak dies, the crash animation it's so awesome, but I think you're considered the direction of animation, Example?: Kodiak dies looking to the left, animation crash it does to the right
-The Super Weapon Structure of the Scrins, when it's damage, it can't repair, either put an engineer to fix it.
-Maybe the superweapons should be powerfull with structures like now, except with enemies Construction yard and super weapons buildings? just like before.
-Maybe Firestorm should be just like a huge forcefield like Scrin units? but with a huge range of energy. The classic Firestorm worked like that if you remember. And maybe the same effect with bullets
collide with the shield, that "bling" sound, keeping the sphere idea, maybe a more bigger radius?
Well that's it for now, I remember you, this is just MY POINT OF VIEW and bugs than i've found playing LAN games with my friends :D
Greetings for all, specially to Carnius.
