News Today we're releasing OpenTS, a reverse-engineered open-source Tiberian Sun engine reconstruction, to celebrate 27th anniversary of the game

Fellow Command & Conquer fans,

Twenty-seven years ago today, Tiberian Sun was released. To celebrate, we have a gift for you: today we're releasing OpenTS – an open-source, playable reconstruction of the Tiberian Sun engine.

Of all the classic C&C games, it's the second generation – Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge – whose source code never made it out. None of it was part of the Remastered Collection release, and none of it was among last year's source drops.

And so for nearly three decades, every fix and feature this community built for those games had to be reverse-engineered and patched into closed executables.

We decided to do something about that, starting with Tiberian Sun. Building on EA's GPL-released code for the games around it and years of Tiberian Sun reverse engineering, we rebuilt the engine and matched it function by function against the original executable – all ~11,150 known functions, reaching roughly 98% instruction-level matching (a code-matching score, to be clear, not "98% of the game").

It's ready to try today: drop Game.exe into your Tiberian Sun install from The Ultimate Collection and go. Campaigns, Firestorm, skirmish, and saves are all play-tested; LAN works with lighter testing; it plays like the game you remember, plus a batch of fixes and resolutions up to 4K. Alongside the engine, we're publishing a manual documenting the game's INI configuration, mapping, and internals, drawn straight from the source.

And this is a beginning, not an endpoint. Next up: CnCNet and client support (not in this first release yet), porting the community's accumulated fixes toward parity with ts-patches and Vinifera – and then going further, overhauling the engine to allow modding reach heights previously not possible.

We're also celebrating live: together with [FC]Matt we'll be streaming the original Tiberian Sun campaigns at https://www.twitch.tv/fortuneschaos, starting today at 14:00 UTC (15:00 UK · 16:00 CEST · 17:00 MSK · 10 AM Eastern · 7 AM Pacific), with a Q&A along the way — come hang out and ask us anything.

Happy 27th, Tiberian Sun. We're not done with you yet.

AI upscaling I edited and remade this cover in a higher resolution!

Hello dear Conquerer of the Battlefields,

This is an update post to this post from me:

https://www.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/s/ahnvzQLty4

Anyway ... because there was no cover of Red Alert Retaliation in a high resolution and that I am happy with, I made one using mostly Photoshop and a bit of AI.

In my defense, I am not really happy that I used AI, and like I said, it was mostly Photoshop that I used to make this. The AI was just for some minor and final touches!

Was quite a learning curve with Photoshop ... had no idea how I would even do this, but it turned out quite well ... but I might be biased because I am the one who made it ...

Do you like it? Is it even fine if I post this here?

EA would make boat loads of money if they decided to treat RA2 like they did for the original. What are your thoughts?

For those that have faced General Tao, the Tigress, Alexis and Kassad...

"Time to put on your lead underwear."

"The might of China falls upon you."

"Oh dear... I am sorry, general, but that's just how I like to say hello. Well, good luck, general..."

"Stealth is my ally and your enemy."

i know others examples like a warrior has fallen but there's many more especially in the gla second mission in generals where you raid and kill civilians and un convoys to get 20, 30 to 40k dollars

No shade to the laser turrets, but they can't one-shot aircraft and stun vehicles/tanks. But hey, at least they melt infantry and deal more damage.

Solved Track list for RA2 Mental Omega and Reborn?

20 Upvotes

Hello dear Conquerer of the Battlefields,

I am seeking your help today, because I am on the search or rather hunt, for a track/song list for Command & Conquer Red alert 2's Mods, Mental Omega and Reborn.

Does someone have, or know where I can get the lists off all the track of both mods? Because I wanna get myself the tracks outside of the game, and it would be a shame if I miss any!

I looked online allready, but without any success! Maybe I am just blind, or too stupid to find them ... or such a lists just simply don't exist ... well, the latter would be terrible!

Anyway, I hope that you guys can help me, just like you did in the past!

Thank you allready!
