A bug that has been plaguing Tiberian Sun modders for over a decade has finally been fixed, thanks to CCHyper and his unofficial Tiberian Sun patch, HyperPatch! The bug I am talking about of course is the ORCA TRANSPORT bug, which meant that any human controlled airborn transport would be unable to land properly, making the logic unusable. If you are a Tiberian Sun modder, you will understand why this is such a big deal to us and the modding community; I am very pleased to announce that HyperPatch 0.3 is included in Twisted Insurrection Public Beta 5 and so are fully functional airborne transports!
HyperPatch 0.3 was released just over a week ago and is free for anybody to download over on Project Perfect mod. HyperPatch is also the same patch that fixed the dreaded WaveClass errors a long time ago, it also fixes numerous bugs and improves the performance of the original Tiberian Sun executable! It is a must-have for your mod!
In addition to this very good news, a new track has been composed by Speeder of Mental Omega for the Twisted Insurrection Original Soundtrack. This new track is another more energetic beat to add to the already eclectic soundtrack and is already in-game! Please note however that this track may undergo changes and is not deemed final, however, as this version is currently in-game, we are happy to publish it for you all to check out.
Finally, if you missed the update a few days ago about the first look at Public Beta 5's changelog, here is that direct link once again! We are planning to announce the release date soon and I am very excited about the upcoming release, I have very high hopes about it and we don't think that any of you will be disappointed!
That is all for today. Hopefully you will all see the activity picking up during the next few weeks as I (Aro) now have full access to the internet again (I was without it for a while due-to moving house, slowing our progress), though reality constantly eats away our spare time, we put as much time as we can into this project and I will always try my best to keep you all up to date with the latest news!
Awesome news bro! i hope this means new air unit for GDI or even BETTER control able orca transport for GDI! i love that model @.@ keep up the good work! love your mod and once again thanx alot for ur hard work and sharing ^^
Rejoycements! :D
And GDI 02! :D
And Updates! :D
Yeah, if I happened to live near any of you, I'd be spending a lot of time on my knees at this point.
I'm pretty sure "rejoycements" is not an actual word.
Gee, ya think?
Congrats to the patch builder.. It always was a huge issue in c&c tib sun. Now get rotor animations working and I think it'll be the best c&c engine to mod on.
Can't believe Westwood shipped with that broken. I mean it was available since C&C95.
CCHYPER I LOVE YOU!!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!! I BELIEVED IN YOU!! I BELIEVED IN YOOOOOOOOU! =3
Also, just thought of something: You know what would be damn-cool in Command & Conquer?
You guys know how Carryalls in Dune 2k and Emperor carry the Harvester to the spice field and back to the Refinery? That would be pretty interesting to see in Tiberian Sun...
First off, great news about the transports! One step closer to a more perfect Tiberium Sun and by extension, Twisted Insurrection.
Also, Contagion is a sweet track, allowing for a nice change of pace compared to the majority of the doomy gloomy tracks of TI. But you mention Speeder composed it? Huh. Wonder why he hasn't done any composing for mental omega? After all, this track is great!
he asks CD :(
