    Cool EpicMod 1.5 beta 2 released

    I finally release the second beta of this EpicMod and it's bigger than ever. I apologize for the typos back from the first beta.

    Download: http://files.filefront.com/EpicMod15.../fileinfo.html (223 MB)


    Installation Instruction:
    Remember this mod is for C&C3 with patch 1.09 installed. Put the mod folder into:
    WinXP path: "C:\Documents And Settings\your user name\My Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\Mods"
    WinVista path: "C:\Users\your user name\Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\Mods"

    The 7-zip file can be opened either with WinRAR, 7-Zip or PowerArchiver.

    The purpose of this mod is to get a clean feeling of what the game is supposed to be played as, the righteous content of gameplay. Despite a lot of nerfs without a mod to C&C3, this mod reduces those nerfs applied to the C&C3 game. Now with more Kane's Wrath stuff, it brings this mod to a new level of gameplay and style, much funnier and better than most balance mods.


    ---------------------------------------------
    Version 1.5 Beta 2 Changes
    ---------------------------------------------

    • Fixed the readme file including the credits due to typos and word choices.

    • All SP and MP maps (prior to C&C3 v1.09) are modified for better zooming on the battlefield. Some SP mission maps have been adjusted and modified for game difficulty. (now included in the mod)

    • Re-Added the ingame music back including the Credits Screen. New track list is as follows according to zone:
    Base Building – Scouting/Flurry/Heroism, Drill/Ironfist/No Mercy, Creeping Upon/Depth Charge/Industrial, JustDoItUp/CNC Thang, Dusk Horizon (from Unreal), Shared Dig (from Unreal), Bog Remix
    Blue Zone – HM1/HM1remixFFTL, Rollout/Terminate, Alternative Reality (from Unreal), untitled Halo 3 theme
    Red/Yellow Zone – NodCrush/Pharotek, Trouble/Warfare, March to Doom/Enemy to Fear/Demolition, Take Them Out/Prepare to Battle
    Unknown Zone – Act of Instinct 3/Devil March, CrushRemix/HM1 Electro Remix, Floating/Mud, Airstrike/Traction, Slight Delay, Journey/Bounce, Trenches/Fogger, Technical Data/Composite, Snake/Await, Unreal2Intro
    Credits Screen – Harvester (by Animusic)

    • Action ingame music is no more unless you have 1000 allied or enemy units attacking each other, meaning that regular ingame music according to zone will be played longer.

    • Added the FX bloom feature to the mod.

    • Militant Squad portrait icon has been replaced with the updated one from KW.


    General Balance Changes:

    • Radar Scan, Radar Jamming Missile and Master Computer Measures support powers are now free of cost.

    • The Call For Transport ability to all GDI/NOD infantry and vehicles is now free of cost since players rarely use this ability as well as the AI itself. All MCVS, Rigs, and Harvesters (except Scrin Harvesters) can now call for transport. As of now, the building of air transports from the Airfield and/or Air Tower is no longer applicable because of this.

    • All Tech Centers will require both War Factory and Command/Operation Center in order to be built. Technology Assembler requires both Warp Sphere and Nerve Centre in order to be built. Tech Center and Tech Assembler increased the cost back to 4000.

    • GDI Shockwave Artillery cooldown increased to 240 seconds. ATK damage decreased by 15%.

    • GDI Firehawks using Stratofighter ability now has a 10 second cooldown.

    • Scrin Stormrider ATK damage increased by 10%, health decreased by 15%. After the health nerf, they still have more health than any average air unit in the game.

    • Scrin Devourer Tank increased its cost to 1200 from 1100.

    • Nod Venom increased its cost to 900 from 700. Health increased slightly.

    • Nod Stealth Tank increased its cost to 1600 from 1400. Speed and health increased slightly.

    • Quick note: APCs summoned from the Bloodhounds support power do not come with repair drones. This is not an issue; it’s the way it was meant to be.

    • Known issue: Some balance changes and load/score music used from previous and current versions of EpicMod did not seem to work on actual single player campaign missions. (ex. Tiberium Spike at 25 credits per second when it’s supposed to be nerfed to 15 credits per second.)


    Coming soon for Version 1.5 beta 3: (proposed; some may not be in this version)

    • Every time Scrin faction wins a mission or skirmish, victory score will be VictoryEvil1, not Nod Victory Evil score.

    • new support powers: Power Signature Scan, Decoy Temple, Firehawk Airstrike

    • All crushable infantry will cause tier 1 tanks to decelerate while crushing.

    • Scrin Mastermind's teleport ability will no longer work on EMP’ed/phased units.

    • Scrin Buzzer Swarm support power will return.

    • Predator Tank will get a new model and will have a secondary ability.

    • Titan will have railguns when upgraded and will have a secondary ability as the Smoke Screen.

    • Confessor Squad will have hallucinogenic grenades as a secondary ability.

    • All engineers will have the ability to remove mines when detected within a 150 yd radius.

    • will have a new unit: Nod Armageddon Bomber.

    • will have a new structure: Nod Weapons Factory.

    • Grenadier Squad will have an ability to throw EMP grenades after that new upgrade is made. EMP Grenades upgrade will cost 1500 in 30 seconds from the GDI Armory.

    • will have a new upgrade as Cybernetic Legs: Cost 1500 in 20 seconds from Secret Shrine. Will make all confessor squads, rocket squads, black hand, and engineers run 25% faster on their speed.

    • A fix for all air transports loading/unloading units is issued, but because of the free Call for Transport, this is doubtful for questioning.

    • Scrin Harvester will have shields when upgraded; however, a new and higher shield model will be needed.

    • And more to come.


    ---------------------------------------------
    Version 1.5 Beta 1 Changes
    ---------------------------------------------

    • New Units:
    * Titan (GDI), costs 1500, requires GDI Tech Center, can able to crush tier 2 and lower units and has a special ability called the Smoke Screen (doesn't work at this time). Unit taunts are derived from KW and speed is a bit slower than the Predator Tank, armor/health is 15% more than the Predator Tank. Rate of Fire increased by 10% and range is 325. (this unit is derived from a public release model from the team of Thundermods.net)
    * Orca MiniGunner (GDI). Costs 1200, requires GDI Airfield, uses its minigun and there's no need for reloading, similar to the Hammerhead from KW. The original GDI Orca will be renamed as Orca Fighter. Weapon model is used from the Nod Venom for it's only primary attack effective against infantry but less against aircraft.
    * Spotter (Nod), costs 1000, requires Nod Operations Center. Similar to the GDI sniper, this solo unit is faster and stronger plus it can detect nearby stealth. (temporarily)

    • New Main Menu logo added in the main menu screen.

    • Actual portrait icons for the GDI Shatterer and Nod Confessor Cabal from KW are modified.

    • EVA no longer uses the "Enemy Commando Detected" message. Instead, every player is informed when a commando is built.


    General Balance Changes:

    • Economic Nerf: Refineries cost 3000 each, use only -10 power and 5 seconds (instead of 1 second) on unloading Tiberium into the refinery. Sell price for refinery is 1000 credits. Tib Spikes when captured get 500 credits and gain 15 credits per second. Big Tiberium Silo when captured get 5000 credits. Growth Accelerator gains 25 credits every 5 seconds.

    • Harvesters remain at a cost of 1400 each and they can now self heal without heroic veterancy. GDI Harvester gets a infantry slot for defensive uses very much like the Heavy Harvester from KW. Nod Harvester gets a slower harvesting rate which is now equal to the GDI and Scrin Harvesters.

    • Engineer Capture Delay for all engineers will be now set to 2 seconds that only applies to enemy structures, not neutral tech structures.

    • Command/Operations/Nerve Center(s) will cost 2000/20 each. Power usage equally increased to -8.

    • Surveyors, Emissaries and Explorers will be built from War Factory or Warp Sphere instead of Construction Yard/Drone Platform to reduce early extra base rush. Now cost 750/8.

    • APC "evacuate all" button now evacuates all infantry at the current location instantly rather than employing a target location. This also applies to V-Ox and Carryall transports as well.

    • Projectile speeds of rocket-based weapons increased significantly for the following units to improve responsiveness & efficiency: Pitbulls, Mammoths, Missile-loadout Firehawks, Battlebase/Deployed Rig, GDI/Nod Rocket soldiers and Nod Rocket Missile Battery.

    • Booby Trap cost decreased to 100 (applies to Saboteur, GDI Commando and Nod Commando.

    • All structures (including captured tech structures) repair 60% slower.

    • Fog of War reappears in 15 seconds instead of 3 or 30 seconds.

    • Default starting value for players (in custom mission maps or skirmish maps) is 5000 instead of 1500.

    • Maximum amount of beacons placed on the battlefield is increased from 5 to 10. (multiplayer/skirmish only)

    • Modified the attribute modifiers slightly. Most units can now rank up faster in veterancy. Level 2 Veterancy (elite) bonus increased from +20% damage, +30% health to +25% damage, +40% health and add suppresability at a value of 200.

    • V-Ox and Carryall transports can attack from inside if an infantry squad or squads are inside the transports. However, after calling for transport by a unit, this action cannot be applied.

    • Civilian bunkers can now be garrisoned with 4 infantry squads. This also applies to Nod Bunkers as well.

    • APC attack power vs aircraft & infantry increased by 15%. APC mines cost reduced from 500 to 300. Cooldown for placing mines reduced to 45 seconds. APC now comes with 2 repair drones as it goes on the field, repairing nearby vehicles.

Juggernaut now has a infantry slot for defensive users very much like the Behemoth from KW. However, Zone Trooper Squad, Shock Trooper Squad, Disintegrators and Mastermind cannot garrison this unit.

    • Mammoth Tank can now self heal without heroic veterancy.

Unit costs 500 in 6 seconds, provides 25% Rate of Fire bonus (instead of none) and it can now fire their own primary weapon as machine gun only.

    • Shock Swarm support power now has correct portrait icon. Cost reduced to 3000 and it teleports three veteran Shock Troopers on the battlefield instead of 4.

    • Annihilator Tripod can now use conversion beams just like the Reaper Tripod from KW. Both Devourer Tank and Tripod get an extra 25% of their conversion beam collected from Tiberium. Tripod health reduced to 11000 from 12000 and it can now self heal without heroic veterancy.

    • Mastermind can now use Blink Pack to transport itself to another area in a short distance just like the Eradicator from KW and the Shock Trooper Squad. Blink Packs distance increases to 1000 from 800. Teleport recharge (to a group of units) increased to 20s from 10s.

    • Seeker Tank Armor versus rockets increased 10%, armor versus gun increased 10%.

    • Assimilator is permanently cloaked when it both moves and stands still.

    • Technology Assembler structure's resistance to CANNON damage reduced by 25%.

    Modified and done but doesn't work (possibly that they cannot be overwritten):

    • Modified the default hot keys ingame.

    • Changing the starting values of the MP/Skirmish modes. In increments of 5000 credits, the low is 5000, the high is 50000. Default is 10000 as low, 40000 as high.


    Known Issues:

    • Titan doesn't show any special ability on the unit itself when it's supposed to be.

    • Confessor Cabal often cannot fire after throwing hallucinogenic grenades. Though firing their primary and secondary weapons together is a bug.

    • Annihilator Tripod cannot use all 3 beam attacks as conversion beam attacks when attacking after collecting Tiberium for its secondary weapon ability.
