Well, the weekend surprise is available sooner than I anticipated.  I present three mods for your enjoyment: Blitz 2 v3.01, Tower Defense Trinity Force, and Project Raptor 7.

First up, let’s talk about Blitzkrieg 2: The Finest Hour v3.01.  For the past few months I have been working with Korona of Derelict Studios on getting the Mac-specific bugs ironed out in version 3, and we’ve finally gotten things fixed.  There were texture bugs with several of the units that caused crashes, making the Allied missions (and skirmishes with certain units) impossible to play.  My testing leads me to believe all the bugs have been fixed, so I have packaged and made the mod available for download.  Download from ModDB (1.3GB).

Next up we have a one-of-a-kind mod.  Tower Defense - Trinity Force v2.0 Demo is a great tower defense mod for Zero Hour.  Unfortunately, it has been discontinued and will no longer be developed by Dibelius.  I came across it several years ago, but was never able to work around the encryption until Dibelius made the source BIG files available for download a few months back.  You can find out more about the mod on the ModDB profile.  Download from ModDB (35MB).

Finally, we have Project Raptor 7.  A while back I mentioned I would not be released PR7 due to some bugs, and as far as I can tell, they have been fixed.  In the style of TD - Trinity Force, PR7 has been dormant for quite a few years.  You can find out more about Project Raptor via their website.  Download from ModDB (188MB).

Regarding Vietnam: Glory Obscured, I want to release it as much as you want to play it, but I need to work on some crash-causing code issues.  With Blitz out of the way, VGO is the only item on the plate at this point in time, so any spare time I get I can focus on modifying the code for the Mac.

As some of you may know, FileFront is closing due to the current economy.  FileFront has been around for a long time, and is the site that many gamers hosted their files, as it allowed for files over 100MB.  I will try to find a replacement to host the ZH mods, but in the mean time, sit tight.

Time for an update.  I’ve been behind in keeping up with new releases (VGO & CWC come to mind…) but I’ve been extremely swamped.  I will try to update things over the upcoming holiday, and hopefully figure out why VGO and CWC have bugs in the Mac version that are not present in the PC version.  Without access to a version of Zero Hour that allows debugging, it’ll be difficult, but I’ll see what I can do.
