V2.0.0.0 is now released! RA2YR MIX Unprotector is now replaced by RA2YR reMIXer. The source code was rewritten from scratch with outstanding application revisions in AHKv2.  Offering:
- optimized application speed.
- improved Mix Recovery techniques
- new feature: reconstruct mix file to reduce/shrink file size of the mix file. Read the first post for more info.

RA2:YR:Brute Force Mod

Latest 0.6.46 FULL version: ->>> Github

You don't need to download base version of the mod, patch is the mod itself, already patched.









**Description:**

Generally, this version should be released as the main one. I've spent dozens of hours working mainly on AI and fixing bugs. The AI is now a real challenge, and I recommend starting by playing against Yuri on a low difficulty level and on easy maps.

Added to the release is a program that will help adapt each map to the mod by adding a loop that spawns supplies at given intervals. There is a dedicated readme included in the archive with it.









Testing and fixing things that come out after 2-3 hours of gameplay takes a lot of time. Generally, the current version is stable and everything works as it should, but there will probably be some minor bugs and glitches.

Now I will mainly focus on creating maps dedicated to the mod, including tutorials.
I have to fulfill the documentation, add authors of assets.

Big thanks to ARES!









That's a little stupid to work so much on the mod that may be few people will ever try, but hey! at least I'm learning something and sharing with the others.


**Changes (from those I remember):**

- Reworked AI, it's much better now. This is huge and I spent so much time working on it.
- Fixed gui icons
- Fixed: getting spy into Yuri's harvester was giving huge amount of money
- Fixed: Tesla Anihilator
- Fixed: Chrono miner AI bug, now both allies and soviets uses soviet war miner
- Yuri's units drops ORE now

- You can now repair civ bunkers
- Removed structure: Defractor (useless)
- AI gets more POWER from AI Centre now
- AI Centre produces credits now (AI only)
- AI gets free SLAVEMINER now, both enemy and allies
- Disabled reverse engineering for most of vehicles (was too easy)
- Fixed and reworked Chrono reinforcement, inc adding new EVA voice commands
- Fixed BRUTE bugs, including EVA spamming "Unit Lost"
- Fixed UI strings
- AI: fixed engineer, everything about it except the model
- Added build limits for almost everything to avoid AI building on whole map
- Added Hedgehog, a single cell wall type that autorepairs and it's strong
- Walls are stronger now
- Reworked Robot (drone tank)
- Easter egg's units moved to their place, try to get them
- AI allies works much better now, uses better AI logic, builds and attacks more

This stable release of GIMP comes with a few security fixes, so we advise you to update even if you feel like your current version works fine for you. Apart from the many bug fixes and security updates, it also provides new support for palette formats and a new generated gradient.


New features and mprovements

ASE and ACB palettes support

In addition to already supported palette formats, GIMP can now load palettes in the following formats:

• Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE)
  
• Adobe Color Book (ACB)

This will make it easier to exchange palettes coming from other software.

New Gradient: FG to Transparent (Hardedge)

Everywhere a gradient option is available, the gradient list will now feature the additional “FG to Transparent (Hardedge)” option. It generates a gradient from the foreground color to transparency, with hard-edge transitions between the 2 colors.

In the Gradient Tool, in particular, you can generate patterns very quickly with the “Repeat” option, alternating repetitive colored shapes with full transparency over a given background.

New FG to Transparent (Hardedge) gradient - GIMP 2.10.36


GIF: non-square ratio support

GIMP now loads GIF images containing the PixelAspectRatio header metadata by setting different resolutions per dimension, hence rendering the image correctly (instead of looking squashed on the screen).

Of course, the option “Dot for Dot” in the View menu must be unchecked to see the image at its expected ratio.


More enhancements

A few more improvements were sprinkled across this update, such as:

• Text tool: improved formatting behavior when selecting and changing text on Canvas.
  
• Theme: better feedback when hovering lock buttons (with a white frame) as well as when activating a lock (a small padlock shows up in the corner).
  
• Help: The Help > User Manual submenu now features a “[Table of Contents]” link.

Security and bug fixes

Fixed Vulnerabilities

Four vulnerabilities were reported by the Zero Day Initiative in code for the following formats and fixed immediately:

• DDS: ZDI-CAN-22093
  
• PSD: ZDI-CAN-22094
  
• PSP: ZDI-CAN-22096 and ZDI-CAN-22097

Additionally, dependencies have been updated in our binary packages, and with them, some vulnerabilities recently reported in these libraries were fixed.

In any case, we recommend to update GIMP with the latest packages.


Broken Graphics Tablets with recent linuxwacom driver

We don’t usually mention bug fixes prominently, but an ugly one happened recently after a change in the xf86-input-wacom (linuxwacom) driver, which provoked crashes of GIMP when using a graphic tablet on Linux.

Various distributions have already downgraded the driver or backported the fix since a patch to the driver has been quickly pushed as well. Nevertheless, if you are in the unlucky situation of using the non-patched driver, this version of GIMP also contains a workaround to the bug.

Hello, everyone! Vermins of Dune 1.0.1 is out! You can download it with this link:



This is a relatively small update.

First of all, it applies all the changes from the recent OpenRA Dune release.

Second.. Well, before starting, I would like to share my plans briefly.

It is new content that gives a glimpse of the direction I am currently working on. That is the campaign - I want you to be able to enjoy it anew. Worry not, I am not abandoning skirmish. I just feel some changes are safer to experiment with in the campaign. And if you happen to like them, I might consider also adding them to the skirmish.

So.. The second feature that comes with this version is the first of the Culture Building series. This is the Atreides Monument. This building can be found in two missions during the campaign. Whoever owns it unlocks the ability to build grenadiers during that mission.

For the more experienced players, the images below will hint at the specific missions you can find this new building in.
