Touching up the Maps

I recently purchased Treemagik G3 and PlantLife. Those applications generate low poly trees, plants and rocks, so they are ideal for touching up the game maps. Treemagik is great, but PlantLife is a bit buggy and doesn't have as many options as Treemagik.

I started off with the Canyon map, you can see the before and after shots below.

New Game Version + Map Editor

I improved some things since the last version:

• Music and sound should now be enabled by default
• Increased the base speed of the soldiers and lessened the effect training has on movement speed
• Fixed a bug in the Search and Destroy map

I've also decided to release the TTW Map Editor. It allows the easy creation of maps and missions for Total Tactical Warfare. So if any of you create a nice map I'll be sure to include it in the next release :)

Note: If the game or map editor fail to run, try installing the DirectX 9 Redistributable November 2007

Public Release

In order to get more feedback about the game we decided to make a public release. The current version features:

- Single player gameplay
- Army customization including weapons, armor and training
- 3 different missions
- High score list

You can get the setup files here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ytmjt4qzzw0


For the game to work you'll need DirectX 9 Redistributable November 2007 or newer:

(The normal DirectX 9 won't work, you need this one)

New Main Menu!

I've reimplemented the main menu using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The problem with the old menu was that it was very slow and sluggish. The new one renders using DirectX, which makes it lightning fast. WPF also allows the use of styles and other effects to make the menu look better.

Insurgent Models & Props!

Timbo made two more insurgent skins. Have a look at them in the screenshots below.













































Llamalord, Timbo and myself also added some more props: aircon, generator and satellite dish(skinned by timbo) and water tank(modeled by llamalord & skinned by me).
