C&C Dawn of Tomorrow released!

[Kilkakon 6]

Last weekend I released my megamod for C&C Tiberian Dawn. It's called C&C Dawn of Tomorrow, and has been 10 years in the making! This single-player adventure includes 6 playable factions, 2 new campaigns with fully voiced and animated cutscenes, and 30 diverse and challenging missions to complete.

With C&C Remastered just around the corner, I thought now was the perfect time to release my mod for the classic version of the game so you had something to tide you over until remaster unlocks very soon. Check out the trailer below!

You can learn more and download the mod from my website, kilkakon.com/c&c

Thanks for releasing the mod, Kikakon.

However have you fixed the loading map bug of Company of Answers mission 6 as well as fixing stability issues when playing videos? I still haven't find a way to bypass those issues.

Hi Purple!

Yes I quietly uploaded version 1.01 and now 1.1 over the week, which correct two issues: CoA mission 6 is now playable and the FoT campaign endings now work. I am sorry that they happened

As far as "stability issues regarding videos" I am not sure what causes these, they are not of my design. It's not something that I have been able to isolate to anything in particular, it works perfectly for some, causes long load times for others.

Apologies for the noobish question, I'm trying to configure the game to run in 4:3 aspect ratio as shown in the screenshots on the site, but so far without success. I haven't played C&C in a long while admittedly, and never used CnC-DDraw before. Any advice on how to to it? I'm using the portable version and picked the ddraw.ini which said "full screen aspect ratio with shaders", and set the correct resolution, but it does not render the image at 640x480 but at 640x400. Or is it not possible at all?

[Kilkakon 6]

Hi Flibble, it's more than doable.

Set the resolution in conquer.ini to 640x480. Then it should be in 4:3, double check ddraw.ini as needed.

Thanks!

However this mode does not seem to do any aspect ratio correction, it just draws the same 1:1 square pixels over an area of 640x480 instead of 640x400.

I was kinda hoping for something like this:

[Kilkakon 6]

Oh, that is not something I've tried before. What you've done there is actually stretched it vertically so the aspect ratio is no longer correct.

At the very least, you'll need to disable the aspect ratio correction in the ddraw.ini, and set the resolution in conquer.ini to 640x400. That might do it.
