Introduction: Your mission is one of the most important mission that has taken place every

That's one of the most original ideas I have seen.


Good one...

Crap. You beat me to it

I was going to do one for halloween too, but procrastination set in

Although one tweak you didn't implment was to change lasers into snowballs....

Very good indeed Very imaginative use of string replacements.

I think this Mod would benefit a lot from a new theme and (possibly) world graphics : ie a more christmasy look to go with the unit graphics and captions. Ie lots of white and red, and warm orange glows.

[hellcatv]

hmm I tried to replace laser.bmp with a snowball (included in the archive) and it didn't show up...maybe I did something wrong-- does it show up for you?

glad you like it Chris

[Spacemonkey]

hahaha, awesome

[MrBunsy]

Brilliant idea! ...just brilliant!

[bert_the_turtle]

Aww, does that mean if my opponent says "HoHoHo, Christmas presents coming in!", I can't tell any more whether he's just trying to be funny or running this mod?

[hellcatv]

your opponent may say "I got your boxed copy RIGHT here!"


glad you folks like it!
PS: if he says ho ho ho you're in reaaaaal trouble--- because that's the equivalent of launchES detected

A Santa mod no less. Truly, a Mighty fine sight.

great mod!

[blackwhitehawk]

You know what would be cool. A chirsmas mod tourament i wonder if someone can get that going.

[hellcatv]

someone should time a office-mode defcon so that defcon 1 happens at midnight on the 24th
BTW: that's why I made the request in the beta forums to allow mods to change the thing that appears when defcon changes (I'd prefer Defcon 5 = dec 21... Defcon 4 = dec 22 defcon 3 = dec 23 defcon 2 = dec 24 and defcon 1 = dec 25th (midnight)...and then you have till all the little boys and girls wake up (victory timer) to deliver all your presents to the other countries

I definitely think a well made theme would be awesome (any takers?) but on second thought a custom map isn't so great---I want to be able to play regional xmas defcon (on everyone's different maps) so that I can bring toys to all the different regions or in a polar style--as well as vanilla defcon
