- No random map generator is because of all the new features, if you were able to randomly generate a map if wouldn't function so it HAD to be removed.
- I don't know how you managed to work out that Goliath's are useless and Eclipse tanks are OP when the Goliath is better than the Eclipse...
- Earthquake emitter is supposed to be used on structures, not units.
- You'll have to be a bit more accurate as to where you've found cliff errors (if you actually have) rather than just saying they're there. 100 odd maps is a lot to go through...
- Alarm sounds are indeed annoying, they'll be changed.
- Radar Scan Drone issue is known and has been since Public Beta 1.

We, the Twisted Insurrection team are very pleased to announce that our latest version, Public Beta 4 has been released!

Since the Re-Issue of Public Beta 3, we have been working hard to get more of the essentials out of the way. The changelog is also very large and impressive due-to the short amount of time (In my opinion, at least) since the last release, you can view the changelog here!

Public Beta 4 includes several new campaign missions (A total of 8 GDI Missions and 13 Nod missions (8 and 9 are palceholder maps) so far), several new units and unit images, new additions to our unique soundtrack, new voices, options, several new and improved maps, coding and balance changes, gameplay improvements, tons of lag reduction, the implementation of Naval units (still in heavily testing phases at the moment) and much more!
Public Beta 4 is our most stable version to date as we have eradicated the source of the most common internal errors and hopefully we wont be seeing any more again (or for a long time at best). Online play is now much simpler to commence now too thanks to the new Twisted Insurrection launcher feature similar to the one used by one of our affiliate projects, The Dawn of the Tiberium Age (which we also reccomend you check out if you loved classic Tiberian Dawn!). Sadly as it is still beta, there are still several placeholder images being used, but this will not effect the game-play at all! Pretty soon we hope to get everything finished and finally come out of beta.
One of our new staff members, Henskelion, is working on CGI & FMV's for future Twisted Insurrection releases which will be available as soon as posisble.

If you are new to Twisted Insurrection, check out our website for more information!



Note: There will be no Public Beta 5, only patches up to this point thanks to the Launcher feature making this easier. The next release will be Twisted Insurrection 1.0. There will be a big patch update based on Public Feedback around Xmas time, as is our tradition.

Enjoy, ladies and gentlemen. We'll be looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I recommend using DDRAW.dll with Twisted Insurrection, it does not work for everybody, however. If you try using DDRAW.dll and you get a black screen, it is not compatible with your computer. DDRAW.dll is not a requirement to play Twisted Insurrection, but a suggestion. DDRAW.dll is inluded in Public Beta 3, if you encounter a black screen or any other strange problems, delete DDRAW.dll and try again.


Keep In Mind: This is a Public Beta and not a final release, therefore not everything is completed and many placeholder images are still being used. Do NOT point out placeholders and obvious temporary issues.

Carry-All (Cost : 800) : Carry-All's have the ability to transport one vehicle of any type and size at a time anywhere with extremely high speeds. Though these massive aircraft are able to carry vehicles larger than themselves, they are very fragile and can only sustain a very small amount of damage.

Requires: Helipad

Voxel made for Twisted Insurrection by Issly AKA shin.peter.pan.

EVErgrowing Infestation: As the thorn infestation spread along with Tiberium to the Chimero area, GloboTech immediately evacuated the area and begun the cleanup operation; Something went horribly wrong though, and now there is only ruins and uninhabitable wastelands. The area is still occasionally scouted for any signs of ability to support life for possible recolonization, but the hopes are dim.

Map made by Aro!

Hello everyone. I've wanted to host a Mapping Competition again for a while, but wanted to do something different rather than standard Tiberian Sun or Red Alert 2 mapping, so Crimsonum suggested I host a Twisted Insurrection Mapping Competition, so I'm going to go forward with the idea.

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.

Judging:

Judging will be done by Aro (Me), Q45, Crimsonum, [TiberianFuture] and ^Rampastein.

You will be judged on:

- Map Detail
- Map Layout
- Map Lighting (10 points for Invisible Light Posts & 10 points for Global Lighting)
- General Gameplay on your submission
- Triggers

Will be out of 100 points, based on the criteria listed just above.

- 20 points for Detail
- 20 points for Layout
- 20 points for Lighting
- 20 points for Game play
- 20 points for Triggers.

Detailing points will be mostly based on how you use the new terrain additions as well as the standard mapping tiles. Also remember that lighting is split in two, you will receive a maximum of 10 points for your Global lighting and a maximum of 10 points for your use of invisible light posts, this is also important for the judges to remember.

You can download Twisted Insurrection: Public Beta 2 here which comes with Final TI (TI's map editor). I also highly recommend that you read through the Twisted Insurrection: Mappers Guide before starting on your map.

Prizes:

The best maps will be made official Twisted Insurrection maps. By default, the first, second and third place winners will each receive a TI Mapping Competition signature/banner. The winner(s) may get an early copy of Twisted Insurrection: Public Beta 3.

Good luck to everybody whom decides to enter, we're looking forward to seeing your creativity.

Hello everyone. I have announced the first official Twisted Insurrection: Mapping Competition. The rules are simple and easy to follow, but it's suggested that you read through the Twisted Insurrection: Mappers Guide before you attempt to start on a map. 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.

S.A.M. Bunker: These powerful anti-aircraft defense structures fire out multiple heat-seeking projectiles at once making short work of most enemy aircraft. Whilst very effective, these Bunkers are a heavy drain on the Brotherhood of Nod's power source and take up more space than any other basic defence structure.

Cost: 1250
Primary: Heat-Seeking Missiles
Requires: Radar


Animations:

Barracks: Barracks are the basic training area for all GDI Infantry units. When In control of any Barracks, infantry can be trained on command.

Cost: 500
Requires: Power Plant

Sigma City: When civilians began fleeing en-masse from areas where tiberium was taking hold, Globotech reacted to this by building cities in some of the cleanest areas left on the planet; one of these early developments was Sigma city.

Built in a largely forested area in central Europe, Sigma city has thrived since the first foundations were laid, into coveted metroplois under the protection of Globotech, naturally there are some sources of tiberium, however these areas are small enough to be contained, controlled and researched. To be a civilian living in Sigma is to live in luxury and without fear from the horrors that plague most of the planet.
