The Dawn of the Tiberium Age 1.11 news
Posted by Bittah Commander on November 5th, 2011
I recently decided to start posting updates on DTA 1.11's progress more actively and have been doing so (along with Rampastring) at DTA's official website since the past month.
A decent number of updates have been posted already, so I'll try to keep this post summarized as possible.
To start off, DTA 1.11 has newly made water cliffs for the desert theater.
Thanks to a hack from CCHyper the tiberium now gets affected by lighting just like all other terrain.
On the left is what it originally looked right and on the right is with the hack; as you can see this is a tremendous improvement for how tiberium looks on darker maps.
I converted several terrain objects between theaters to increase the options mappers have to detail their maps with.
Also the new LATs I made give mappers extra options for detailing their maps.
This is just one out of six new LATs I posted on DTA's front page.
The GUI's layout and graphics have been redone.
As you can see in this image the minimap is now much bigger and more detailed.
There are in fact different GUIs and the one you get depends on whichever screen resolution you've selected in the launcher...
...what launcher?
This launcher; it was originally made by Nyerguds as a setup tool mainly for switching between my different GUIs, but it was later on further developed into a launcher by Rampastring.
The launcher is capable of automatically updating DTA to the most recent version, which will make it a lot easier for me to release bug fixes/updates in the future, meaning you won't be having to spend ages to see one little thing fixed anymore.
And finally... Singleplayer missions. People have been asking for a remade TD campaign and no, there won't be a remade TD campaign included with DTA 1.11's release. It takes a lot of work and time to get such missions done properly after all (especially considering the amount of missions the TD campaign had), but maybe the mappers will be able to pull it off eventually (considering the workload however, and the fact few are actually interested in remaking the TD campaign, some extra help might be necessary).
Never the less, DTA 1.11 will come with some singleplayer missions. "The Toxic Diversion", made by Rampastring, is a campaign existing out of 4 missions which can play drastically different depending on the choices you've made during the first missions.
Aside from this, missions in the same fashion as TD's "new missions" might appear later on; so far one of such missions has been included already, namely "Under Sige II" by ReFlex (much like TD's "Under Siege", with the main difference that you're playing as GDI instead of Nod).
Visit DTA's website to read everything above in more detail, along with a lot more images (including an animation of the airstrike superweapon, which I left out of this post because of its size).

The Dawn of the Tiberium Age v1.11 progress
Posted by Bittah Commander on February 14th, 2011
It's already been a year since DTA 1.10 has been released and after having been silent all this time, some might even arleady suspect this mod is already dead. Whoever thought that couldn't be any farther from the truth however. Unlike during the development of previous versions of DTA, where my "staff" basically consisted of some people that did me a few random favors, I in fact have a consistent staff now and we actually have been (and still are) quite busy.
So rather than being dead, DTA's development is in fact more alive than ever:
Many improvements have been made and many new features have been added to the enhanced mode, of which you'll be able to catch a glimpse in some of the new screenshots;
There's already twice as many multiplayer maps as there were before and many maps also have a "comp stomp" version, on which the human and AI players start on the same side of the map, after which the human players have to send their MCVs into teleporters, which then instantly transport them to the other side of the map. This means you can 'east vs west' or 'north vs south' battles against the AI. And the AI by the way, has been improved a lot.
   Rampastein completely recoded DTA's AI and as you can see in the images above, the new AI really is no joke (and that's still only on medium difficulty level). But...   ...as tough as the new AI is, it's of course not unbeatable.  In addition to all this also a ton of new terrain has been added (which is part of the reason why it's taking so long; terrain takes me long time to convert or create) and this includes a conversion of Red Alert's entire snow theater. 
I wish I could say DTA 1.11 is already close to a release date, but unfortunately there's still a lot left to do. However, at least you can now put your mind at ease knowing that the longer you wait, the better DTA 1.11 will be, rather than having collected more dust.

Hello everyone. I have announced the first official Twisted Insurrection: Mapping Competition.

Here is a summary of the map competition rules:
1 - Only One map per entrant.
2 - Map remakes from any C&C game are allowed, but they must be remade from scratch, not just modified versions of the originals.
3 - If you post any previews of your maps anywhere before the competition deadline, you will be disqualified and your map will be marked as void and will not be judged in the competition.
4 - You may modify your submission after you have submitted it, but be sure to get the new submission to me (Aro) on time.
5 - Entries must be submitted to Aro (Me) via Private Message by the 22nd of March 2011 (00:00 GMT)
6 - You are not allowed to use the Interior Terrain.
7 - Symmetrical maps are allowed, but will hurt your layout score.
8 - Twisted Insurrection staff members are not allowed to enter the competition.
The best maps and winning maps will be included in Twisted Insurrection as an official map selection. The top 3 winners will also receive a Twisted Insurrection banner/signature by default. You may also be able to hold of an early copy of Twisted Insurrection: Public Beta 3 as a main prize.
