I am thinking about working on a "History of CNC Modding" article, with it basically going through the years and pointing out the highlights of each game and the mods around it. The problem is, I just don't have a perfect memory and could use some help. I will be updating this topic pretty often, adding more details. The purpose of this is to show our pretty long history...and help give people some insights into how to make a good CNC mod, as well as where we are headed.

Right now I am just going to work on a list of the main events in cnc modding, top mods for each game, etc. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A WORK IN PROCESS, AND VERY A VERY ROUGH DRAFT

please help me out and post any comments/ideas/additions below!

TD

no ideas here, I wasn't into this too much

RA1
Unit packs were big now...basically where you download files, and add in a unit or two at a time. Some of the most common were using TD units and home made ones like the shotgun tanya.
-RAMixer

top mods:
Desert Storm (only real ra1 mod i played for a length of time)
Nurple's mod maps

TS
TS Gold fiasco
Voxels, we basically spent the entire time figuring out exactly how to use these things. Initially we could only swap turrets and such...but eventually we had voxel editors.

Main community Hub: Blueprint TS for a while
XCC
FinalSun (i think i got the name right)

top mods:
Ts Gold
Ice Storm
Allies Revenge
TS Deezire (came in kinda late in the game though)

Ra2
A much more advanced community than the TS one. This is our first real step into modern modding...with many many mods in the works.
Main community Hub: ra2mods.com
XCC
Final Alert

top mods:
Ra2 Deezire
Eagle
Blitzkrieg 1
Allies Revenge 2
Code Red

Generals
Deezire, RVMECH and EJAH(sp?) getting on the dev team...
INI structure changes...
The first CNC game to go into fully 3d, no more voxels to mess around with...now we have models and skins.
cnccommunity.net - good try, didn't work out
XCC

Main community Hub: dz.net forums, with sleipner's(sp?) coming in at 2nd place...no real mod site for generals

top mods:
Pro:Gen
Blitzkrieg 2
Secondwave
WW3

The Future
speculation...

-----------------------------------------------
I'll also have a big list of links as to where to find more information on the mods and sites. Hopefully this can bring some attention back to the community as a whole...
