Hello I'm starting this topic because today I sent the first early beta of the mod to my beta testers.
Here they can show you screens and share their opinions about playing the game.
Zatev and Arkhadancia are my beta testers.
So my team, feel free to post screens and to answer to the questions.

As I told before, I'm adding Russia in the game. I'm planing to remove all sub generals and combine them in to vanila factions. This will improve game dinamics. In game progres you can chouse what kind of weapon to use to surprise your enemy but if you chouse one kind of weapons the outhers will be not avalible to build.

Is this implemented and fully working yet?

[Arkhadancia]

Yes, for the 4 sides.


- Arkhadancia

[Alexei_Stukov]

All is done.
What isn't :
Voices, Controlbars, some FX effects and few minor things.
Also No new units for other factions. I'll create them after first public release of the beta.

[Warbz]

You know 'FX' is short (slang) for 'effects' right?

So therefore,

some FX effects

is the same as, effects effects or FX FX. lol

Also where's the screenshots from the beta people?

[Alexei_Stukov]

I know but i want to specify what kind of effects I mean
Don't rush them
Also Zatev didn't contact me. Maybe he is busy.

[Warbz]

Maybe you should have arranged this beforehand with them?

[Alexei_Stukov]

I did He know that he will be beta tester

[Warbz]

Not that...

This 'Beta content' release.

You've basically tried to create a bit of hype about the closed beta and then released nothing.

A bit of a let down to any fans of the mod.

[Alexei_Stukov]

I thought it will be better for the people to know what happens at the moment.
It is not 'Beta content' release
It's just a topic where you can see what is behind the scene

[Warbz]

In that case, your opening post was entirely misconceiving.

[Alexei_Stukov]

We'll see

[Arkhadancia]

Warbz if you want to give your opinion about this thead, send a private message to Alexei, this is not a tchat-room, thank you.
Now, take this thread like a "questions thread", feel free to ask question about the mod people.

OK, how about showing us some PvP screens with the new content?

[Pav:3d]

Good to hear beta testing has started :o

Gd luck to you guys, hope to see some screenies soon

[CommanderJB]

Indeed, I can't wait to see some action and hear the thoughts of the BTs. Certainly I'll be hanging on for any news of a public release.

[Someone]

Are Russian General Powers, infentry units and other items not yet shown to the "public" featured in the Beta? Or does the Beta lack General Powers, infentry, etc.?

[Alexei_Stukov]

general powers are set.
1st rank BTR-90; SU-47
3rd rank TU-22 Missile Strike; Tu22 bomb strike 3 levels; Smerch Storm; Tank drop 3 levels.
5th rank Nuke Strike (Topol M strike); FOAB -but FOAB use MOAB detonation effects until I create new
I hope soon the testers will show you some screens.
P.S. new powers can be created later.

Since you commented on Beta’s General Power but not the infantry, am I correct in assuming that the Beta does not feature Russian infantry?

And how does Russian tank drop General Power differ from General Kwai’s tank drop General Power in original Zero Hour?

The Russian faction is complete, there is all infantries, etc...
I'll show you some screens of Russians powers tomorrow. ;]

[Alexei_Stukov]

The control bar and buttons are ready.

[Arkhadancia]

Good evening. =]

Here, some screens from the beta :









I hope you like it, and I would say that I will make a trailer soon !
If you have any questions about the screens, just ask. ;]

[Shirou]

They look awesome. And with that real action, all the base buildings really look better and in an awesome style.

One little note for the topic title, it's apparently not an Open Beta because that implies that the public can join it, which is pretty much the same as a release. This is a Closed Beta, so you should call it a 'Closed Beta Discussion'.

[Pav:3d]

holy wow, those are some incredible screens :O everything looks so impressive

[Encrypted]

This mod is looking very promising.
