The website, ModsRUs that is, has also received an update. Its subtle, but the website should be bit softer on the eyes and more functional

Lastly, the wiki has received substantial information contributions. Particularly when it comes to the newly released World Builder. Be sure to contribute should you have any knowledge about modding. Don’t be afraid to register and create new articles or make corrections or additions to existing articles. Sharing is caring… or something.

I’ve posted some information potentially useful for DoW2 modders on the forums. Check that out if your into DoW2 modding (the making of mods, not so much the playing of said mods ). I’m working on mod tool(s) at the moment. Its a bit early to say anything concrete, but if everything goes according to plan I should have something useful soon.

Work on Clone’s ‘Uge Mod Beta 0.3 continues. I’ve added a better infantry death system. Instead of dead bodies simply disapearing after 10 sec they stay on the battlefield for a variable duration depending on the unit’s population and likelihood to die (raning from 60 sec, to 180 sec). This adds more of the destructive battlefield sense seen in CoH and DoW1 without slowing down machines too much. I’m also looking into dead vehicle hulks, but its proving difficult with the limited art situation. We need an exporter for that model format!

Beta 0.2 of the mod has had over a thousand downloads now, but very few people stopping by the forums. If you download please be sure to stop by the forums, leave a comment and make a suggestion for the mod’s new name (the current one is awful). The best suggestions will be voted on.

I’m planning on providing “hosting” for mod projects. This is still in the works, but planned is limited ftp space, a sub forum your mod w/ moderation rights, private staff sub forum and ftp and an html page linked to from the homepage (at the top, but limited space). For now if you are interested send me a private message on the forums.

Clone’s ‘Uge Mod is coming along nicely. Beta 0.2 soon w/ Epic and Assasination game modes! But the mod needs a new name. Head over to the mod’s forums and suggest your ideas for a new name. A poll will be created from the best suggestions and voted on.
