PurpleGaga27 40 Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Sorry it took me so long to release this mod for RA3 1.12 after encountering technical difficulties doing and compiling the mod with new changes. After the release of RA3 patch 1.12 and RA3 mod sdk v3, there were still problems to be fixed and after months of trying to get them right into place, some parts have been fixed including the 4-row AptUI screen and the civ assets. I did not release RA3 Reloaded Alpha 0.4 due to two reasons: too few changes just for another release and that time RA3 patch 1.11 was released and the mod sdk wasn't working correctly by then. But now since it's all fixed, the mod is done for the beta. RA3 Reloaded is an enhancement mod for RA3 designed not only to return the right type of gameplay similar to vanilla C&C3/KW but also to return some of the units from the RA3 Uprising expansion. This mod works only for RA3 patch 1.12. The mod is mostly on balancing low costs and times to units and structures, much similar to my created C&C3 Costmod. Download: http://www.filefront.com/14799353/RA3Reloaded-Beta-0.5.rar/ RA3 Reloaded Beta 0.5 works only on RA3 patch 1.12. --------------------------------------- Version Beta 0.5 Changes --------------------------------------- - All global, balance and bug changes done in RA3 patches 1.11 and 1.12 are included in this mod. The following changes listed below are new and edited changes to enhance RA3 version 1.12. - new units available to build in RA3: **Allied Harbinger Gunship (cost 4000/40) - requires Max Clearance and Defense Bureau This unit is based from RA3 Uprising. Its way of moving and attacking has been fixed. Attack damage increased by 20%, clip-reloading time decreased slightly and locomotor values have been changed: circling radius is 100, circling speed is 70%, slow turn and fast turn radius are both 75. Airfield now prohibits this unit from parking. Unit ability names and descriptions added in mod.str. There is an AI issue in which this unit can't move or attack directly on some certain points such as repairing by drones over the airfield or attacking an enemy building when it refused to do so and target something else. This can only work if you click or press a button to hold fire stance. **Soviet Tesla Tank (cost 1500/15) - requires Super Reactor This unit was a SP campaign unit from RA3 and Uprising which was never available to build in skirmish modes. Primary attack is very much like the Tesla Coil but with lesser damage. Its ability is very much alike to the tesla trooper which spreads out a tesla emp wave in a small radius around enemy units, making the unit stationary. Friendly units are unaffected by this ability. **Soviet Desolation Bomber (cost 1600/16) - requires Battle Lab and Airfield A similar version to the Allied Century Bomber, it drops desolator bombs that are deadly against infantry and light vehicles. Since it carries one desolator ammo, it needs to be reloaded at the airfield. **Japan Attack Drone (cost 500/5) - requires Japan Barracks Description: The unit has a gun effective against infantry but armor is weak. However, the foice taunts for the unit are not included yet. **Japan Greater King Oni (cost 4000/40) - requires Nanotech Mainframe + Mecha Bay Breakthrough + Nanoswarm Hive Description: This unit has the same ability as King Oni but much stronger and faster and can attack air units. **Japan Shogun Executioner (cost 7000/70) - requires Nanotech Mainframe + Mecha Bay Breakthrough + Nanoswarm Hive This unit is considered the epic unit of RA3 and it can only be built at a limit of one on the battlefield. Its reload time of using its shockwave ability is now ten seconds making it ideal for faster destruction. Although it's more OP than the C&C3 Mothership's catalyst cannon in terms of range and radius damage, this is probably the biggest and most powerful unit of the C&C series. General Global Changes: - All Ore Collectors are no longer buildable from War Factory and Naval Yard to all three factions because they are unnecessary.

Rather than making a battle bunker as his ability at a cost of 500, his replaced ability is now the same as the Allied Engineer. Soviets now deserve a medic for use. - Natasha: 2000/20.

Power provided is 150. - Nanotech Mainframe: 2500/25. Requires War Factory and Refinery to be built. The name has been edited due to confusion with EALA naming the structure Maincore Mainframe. As for the voice taunts, ignore it. - Instant Dojo: 600/6, Refinery: 2000/20, Mecha Bay: 2000/20. - Imperial Docks: 1000/10. The structure can no longer build Tsunami Tanks. - Defender-XV: 800/10.

FPS limit increased to 60 from 30. - Custom Main Menu and Credits themes added. - Japan Yuriko Omega's FX ability of psionic power added. - Each money crate you collected gains 2000 credits.** - Multiplayer settings have been modified such as having 30 beacons maximum and shroud is enabled.** - Maximum capacity to all ore nodes increased to 50000. All ore miners collecting from ore nodes increase to 300 per turn.(equals to at least 10 seconds). On some certain single player missions and skirmish maps, the count capacity of an ore node may be higher or lower than the maximum capacity; this is an issue to be dealt with.** - Healing amount to repairing structures is only 40 per second.** - Oil Derrick when captured gets 700 credits and then later gain 15 credits per second.** - proposed new structure: Soviet Nuclear Missile Silo. Costs 5000/50 and requires Battle Lab and Vacuum Impoder. Description: Finally the Soviets can now have the nuke they always wanted to wipe out the opposition of the red alert war. Model is yet to be determined, particle of the weapon is twice stronger and twice the diameter of the explosive nuke from the destroyed Super Reactor. The newly modified explosive nuke comes with green radiation from the support power Desolator Strike level 3 and it's twice the diameter of the targeted area. - proposed new units available to build in RA3: **Desolator (cost 800/10) - spreads deadly radioactive goo against infantry and effective against light vehicles **Archer Maiden (cost 1000/10) - primary and secondary attack shall be similar to the ones from Uprising **Steel Ronin (cost 1600/16) - requires level 2 upgrade in Mecha Core, melee weapon only, no secondary ability. **Mortar Cycle (cost 700/7) - requires Barracks, but can only fire with its sentry gun with no second ability for now. **Grinder (cost 1600/16) - armed with a Bullfrog anti-air gun, speed increase ability used from Imperial Engineer, and primary attack is similar to the Heavy Tank's special ability. **Soviet Mumakil (cost 3000/30) - requires Battle Lab and War Factory This is the elephant unit with double 120mm cannons and it is based from LOTR: BFME II. Its sonic roar can stun enemy units for a short period of time. This unit is still Overmind's version of the unit, not Lauren's version. The combination of the two requires extensive coding with the files, which will be released in a later version. **Allied Chrono Legionnaire (cost 1500/15) - Like the ability from RA2, it transports one place to another but with a cooldown timeout. Primary attack should be the eraser gun. **Allied Sniper (cost 1000/10) - requires Heightened Clearance upgrade It is a sniper with similar attack from Natasha but fires and moves faster at a longer range. This unit can be cloaked until detected but he does not have a unit ability and cannot fire at structures and vehicles. Formerly the British sniper from RA2, the Allies needed some backup support for infantry sneak attacks. What would have known that the Allies could not have one of these backup units? **Allied Mammoth Tank (cost 2500/25) - requires Defense Bureau and Max Clearance This unit is based from C&C3 and KW and it has the same function with the Heavy Tank except it has more power (similar to the Mumakil) and can attack air-units with missiles. Its unit ability is the Magnetic Defensive Shield just like the Allied Assault Destroyer. This early FutureTech unit is the pre-cursor to the future GDI Mammoth Tank and the faction of the Global Defense Initiative, which somehow borrowed and used the technologies from the Soviets on what they have done to make such a huge tank. This is what the Allies wanted for this tank for the future. **Japan Annihilator Tripod (cost 3000/30) - requires Nanotech Mainframe and Mecha Bay Breakthrough Who knew that the time machine will force this unit to come here from the future? It somehow landed in Japan which amazed scientists about this mysterious alien unit. The EORTS has found a way to determine what this unit does. Just like from C&C3 and KW, its triple laser cannons can topple any unit from medium to long range and when it gets close enough, it uses the EMP to disable a vehicle or structure. However, there's no unit ability for this Tripod. The reason why I did not include the Soviet Mumakil in this beta version is because the unit is not very much useful in this sort of battle with the current new units already finished. Including the Mumakil will also require having the Allied Mammoth Tank and the Japan Annihilator Tripod into the mod to make it more interestingly competitive. To be certain, DavoPlayer is currently making the unit models of the Soviet Desolator and the Allied Chrono Legionnaire which they have yet to be released. Also to be certain for release, Overmind is probably still working with the unit models of the other Uprising units of the Grinder, Mortar Cycle, Steel Ronin and Archer Maiden. So far, no one has able to rebuild Uprising models of the Pacifier, the Reaper and the Giga Fortress. Credits and older changes are in the readme file. Screenshots are not available until the upcoming 1.0 release. Have fun with the mod! Edited October 26, 2009 by purplescrin Share this post Link to post
