[The_Hunter]

I'm not a man of alot of words but i'll keep it short and simple:
Today is my birthday and i will celebrate that with one final releaseof ShockWave before i will stop working on this project

As added bonus i'v made some promotional images for all of you.
What they are i'll leave up to your own guessing as you'll be seeing these on the battlefield aftery ou finnished downloading and installing the mod.

that's all hope you all enjoy the mod all donwloads can be found by clicking on the image above.
Incase you wish to know what changes the mod provides you can find a complete list of changes here
Aside of the main mod download we also have:

- A unsupported no-installer release which should be usable for mac users (NOTE THIS VERSION IS NOT SUPPORTED AND WILL NOT PROVIDE HELP HOW TO USE THIS)
- A map pack including more than 60 costum maps all compatible with the new AI for ShockWave.
- A tutorial on how to make maps compatible with ShockWave.
- A re-release of the classic shellmap from ShockWave 0.93 reworked for 1.1 which can be installed as a option.

Well...congratulations, SWR. It's been...a long time. Happy birthday, happy hunting, Hunter.

[ΓΛPΤΘΓ]

So this is the end eh. It was a long and eventful development cycle, with its up and downs yet it still comes up all fine. Congratulations, that's all I can say.

[Destiny]

Oh hey, when I particannon'd Microsoft, it said I completed the GLA one.

[GeneralCamo]

I know I have been inactive for a while. But I mean this when I say congratulations. Also, Happy Birthday.


Also, If custom scripts are not supported with the new AI, does that mean I cannot put scripts in that make it thunder?

Wow Hunter, those renders have got me drooling whilst I download! Happy birthday mate - my respect goes out to you and the team for all your great releases of Shockwave, since the early days when this game was new.

[Сергеј Иванович]

[DELETED MEMBER]

OH HEY, happy birthay hunter

[Sharpnessism]

[Chyros]

I installed it and I cant see any new changes in ShW... Can't figure what's wrong.

Did you uninstall the previous version?

[Сергеј Иванович]

At first, I didn't, and the game worked without new 1.1 add-ons. i uninstalled and erased everything, did a clean install, patched up ZH and installed 1.1 only. It's sent me Technical difficulty window with Serious error and close the launcher splash screen...

Happy Birthday Hunter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Job

Congrat to all Shockwave team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Best Zero hour mod ever !!!


Tks for the release

Hello guys i am from germany.... So sry for the bad english....i am playing zero hour for years and always look forward to the releases and updates of swr team for shockwave and rotr.....and now...you finished it....i cant say how lucky i am, just 7years of production and development are now finished and i saw units like the blackhawk pave low and cobra...oh my god i cant say how thankful i am....this is unbelievable its finished..happy birthday hunter and thanks for all who helped the team by developping and testing....i dont know what to say....just thank you all...

[Anubis]

I think you'll enjoy the Laser changes.

Well ( bla bla no Additional new unit bla ), yeah, lazor is awsome. While i dislike the whole reused FB design, i understand the reason for it, and that attack effect is probably the most awsome thing in the mod ( along with the new lazor stealth fighter ). So overall, lazor general feels allloooot better.

Also the mod looks really nice. What can i say ... awsome job. We don't get a navy, but this mod can easily be made into a addon for ZH on a professional scale ( and i consider EA's crap to be amateur shit ).

One thing i would like to say - ironside's defenses suck . They cost a crap load of money, take about twice the size of a ramjet turret and are nothing compared to it. I would have expected the damn guardian turret to be stronger tbh, but w/e . I played against a tank general ai with all usa/china factions - the only defense that couldn't keep up was ironside's ( i wonder how many 'are you crazy bla bla your doin it wrong' ill get on this one ).

Anyway again - great job. Looking forward to RotR now .

[Destiny]

*presses red phone in the White House* Dang it, the nuke's broken. Can't fire it...what's going over there, Alex?

After many time without playing C&C i just came to discover Shockwave while wandering the net some days ago, and must say is the best mod for the game i ever saw.

So let me say hello to every one as i am new in your house and, of course, thank you for your great job.

¡HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

PS: Excuse my poor english

[ultimentra]

I am sure this is a world of weight off your back. Congratulations to the SWR team and happy birthday to Hunter! I appreciate all of your hard work, and I know that you all are proud to see this day come to pass.

Okay, really basic thing I can't seem to find how to do - how do I uninstall the previous Shockwave? I can't find an uninstall in the Start Menu, I can't seem to find it in the ZH directory, and it doesn't even seem to be in my Add&Remove list? This is getting very asklnasonglfdsgnfdsg

[Raven]

Awesome stuff . Damn I have my exams . Gotta find time to play this somehow . Well done everyone

[Negative Zero]

It's been about 3 years since I first discovered this awesome mod and I have since been addicted; downloading now. The pictures look good; I see the classic laser firebase idea made it through.

Thanks for the update & your work and happy birthday (when it came).

[Pandut]

Grinder Cannons are surprisingly effective against tanks when used in groups of 4 or more .

[Waris]

Grats for the release and a happy belated birthday to Andre

[GeneralCamo]

I would play, if there were people in the multiplayer rooms

Thank You for this release!!!

I was wondering if we could ask for just one more thing???

When you released 1.0 there were some AWESOME DVD covers included...maybe your Graphics Team could just change the 1.0 to 1.1 and re release the covers?

Since this is the Final version.. I want to put it on a DVD and proudly display it amounst my favorite titles!!!

I have played this mod more than any other mod combined..that means RA2 RA3 CnC3 TW and KW

This is just the most AWESOME mod out there. One of my friends asked me "Who paid them to do this?" LOL I told him no one.. LOVE OF THE GAME!!!!..he was beside himself..could not believe it...I told him It's right here in front of you.. believe it!!!.

Again MANY THANKS TO THE SWR TEAM!!!!

Your labor of love is greatly appreciated.

[Pickysaurus]

Awesome
I may play shockwave again for a bit

Maybe we should start a community project to add a campaign?

Happy Birthday Hunter!
Roll on ROTR 2.0 xD

[Nidmeister]

Didn't see this one coming. Happy Birthday friend, congratulations on another final release of SHW, and I must say from having not played around with many of the new units even from 1.0 before the other day, that you have done a most excellent job on the newcoming additions to the mod. Bravo.

[NoNama]

1 stupid question:

Are we need to increase the PC graphic card ability(change new perhap)?

All my friends ask me this because they using old pc for Pentium 4 and the game slow or lag when play network/hamachi,
not problem with me coz I'm using ATI3800HD...

1 stupid question:

Take it out, blow on it, put it back.

[NoNama]

Take it out, blow on it, put it back.

Thanks.. nice trick.. but same they said to me...

[Shock]

Very nice wallpapers. I´m amazed nobody jumped at the new Pave Low yet. After all, I have seen soooo many requests for it

[Waris]

Those are old times, man. 'Sides, it is exactly the same (apart from aesthetics of course) as the Nook it replaces The model is pretty though.

You won't need a graphics card much more powerful than the one you need for VZH. What you're experiencing is typical of hamachi, it's a lot more prone to lag and such based on the connection speed of the game host. EA servers are typically superior at handling games which take place with players from different parts of the world, however, hamachi has it's ways of being superior in other ways. All that said, poor graphic card performance will affect the lag you experience in a game, you should test your graphics card in a large single player skirmish match and see how well it performs.

Happy belated birthday! This version is incredible! Well seeing you're done with the project, I guess it'll be managed by the community and staff (to iron out some kinks). I was planning on adding new SFX for Adv. particle cannon and Laser cannon. I should get around in doing that some time. In the Classic Cameo, it says "Particle" Cannon in the cameo instead of "Laser" Cannon for the laser general. The tooltip for China Submarine says MissingTemplate and uses the battlemaster icon and voice. Other than that, this is the best ShW mod compared to all the other mods for ZH.

Maybe we should start a community project to add a campaign?

X2. How many missions? I would totally go for a v1.2 for this.

[Pickysaurus]

I just threw that out there as a seed to plant. I don't have any ideas to back it up. My heart has always been with ROTR rather than Shockwave

[Jester]

i didnt play 1.0 unfortunatley as my pc had died but 1.1 is awesome 2 words....DESERT FLY! and also happy belated birthday Hunter

[step2ice]

Just came back from my first 1.1 skirmish.
It's great to be on the battlefield again.
Very impressive work. Very nice detail even on the dozers for the different generals.
Congratulations on the finished game.
Althgough it makes me a little sad to know there'll be no future updates, knowing that a mod gets further developed has its own quality, but I have to say
there really isn't anything more to add or polish and a lot of work and time went in there (even the taunts ability made it in).
Besides RotR will take the "new updates" place for me.

Thanks for making Generals what it meant to be and more.

Ps. Good memories beta testing SW 0.95.

[Skoony]

Is it just me or does the camera seem to be damn up close, like in Vanilla ZH? I really hate it when it is that close.

[Pickysaurus]

I think it's 2 or 8 on the numberpad to zoom out

[eric_hein]

You can adjust the max zoom of the camera. Open !Shw_ini.gib in a text editor, search for "MaxCamera", and change it to around 600. This won't break multiplayer.

[Rymosrac]

^ This breaks the game for me. Even after restoring the value to it's original 390, I get a "generals has stopped working" on the splash screen, and have to reinstall shockwave.

[rdrdrdrd]

are there generals challenge maps for ironside, deathstrike, and fai?

[MARS]

Not in this version but our mappers are working on them.

[Skoony]

Not in this version but our mappers are working on them.

Hehe, I hope they don't get as hard as that fucking Juhziz...

eric_hein: Weird that they wouldn't keep the same camera settings. I loved that Shockwave had the camera further away than EA wants us to.

The Juhziz one is only hard because it's unfair. The bikes come before it is possible to have any fighting unit created.

[Skoony]

Not to mention the SCUD storm that is ready to launch by the same time your War Factory is finished...

[Pickysaurus]

I've got WF, AF and Tech Building before the SCUD comes into play. I thought strat centre was the trigger >.<

[DaBear]

I was just wondering if there was any way you guys can tell me how to enable or put back the starting units option. I really enjoyed having them while playing the general challenge mode, thanks.
