COMMUNITY MADE COMMAND AND CONQUER FREE MOD
What do you think about it? Are you going to start playing around with it to create an insane mod (let me know though!)?įeel free to share your thoughts in the comments below. So we asked a fun question – “What would the Brotherhood of Nod do if they captured the Mammoth Tank?” Well, one guess is they’d replace the turret with a giant artillery cannon and have it fire tactical nukes! Thus the Nuke Tank was born. But to showcase a tangible example of what you can do with the software, Petroglyph has actually created a new modded unit to play with. The community council has already been playing with the source code and are posting some fun experiments in our Discord channel. Now that part of C&C Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert is open source, you should expect impressive mods just like the one mentioned in the announcement:
While we already know that the Command & Conquer (C&C) paved the way for many modern RTS games on mobile - hence, this is a significant decision by EA.
This is a key moment for Electronic Arts, the C&C community, and the gaming industry, as we believe this will be one of the first major RTS franchises to open source their source code under the GPL. Here’s what the official announcement read:Įlectronic Arts will be releasing the TiberianDawn.dll and RedAlert.dll and their corresponding source code under the GPL version 3.0 license. Not just for the open-source community to play around with the classic project - but it can also be considered as a milestone in the gaming industry. Our goal was to deliver the source code in a way that would be truly beneficial for the community, and we hope this will enable amazing community projects for years to come.
They did mention it as well:Īfter discussing with the council members, we made the decision to go with the GPL license to ensure compatibility with projects like CnCNet and Open RA. It is worth noting that both Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert were available as freeware but now that they have been made open-source is good progress.Īlso, just because its open source, it’s going to ensure compatibility with community projects like CnCNet and OpenRA.
