Tiberian Sun Reborn is a standalone game that aims to recreate the atmosphere and combat of Tiberian Sun in a FPS. The original effort was started in 2004 by a small group of dedicated modders, leading to its first official release in 2008 as C&C Reborn.
As of November 2011, TSR has been entirely reimagined and redesigned to stick closer to its Tiberian Sun roots while allowing you to benefit from what we've learned from playing the original Reborn and our work on the other Bluehell Productions projects, with room left for imagination and exploration of the Tiberian Sun atmosphere. We invite you to visit our website for more information.

2017 was a great year for W3D Hub and 2018 is shaping up to be even better! We've got a whole host of exciting updates to get stuck into, so without further ado, let's get into it!
2017 Re-Cap!
Here's a short summary of what we achieved last year!
- Work was started on fixing Tiberian Sun: Reborn and is proceeding as planned.
- Development work on Red Alert 2: Apocalypse Rising continued at a great pace (especially in the latter half of the year)
- Expansive Civilian Warfare saw a release on the launcher, which has been mostly a great success!
- Red Alert: A Path Beyond saw a plethora of updates that steadily iterated and added to the gameplay over the course of the year.
- The stats system has been significantly upgraded since the beginning of last year, but the new stats website hasn't been pushed live just yet. We didn't put together the planned media pack that we talked about, but I feel that we are slowly building the player-base up to a good number.
- The download manager went live, but hasn't seen too much use just yet. Hopefully this will change over the course of this year.
- Discord has been running for a while now and has been a great success!
- Integrated chat via IRC was implemented into the launcher! Hopefully we'll look at tightening this up a bit more this year as well!
- The bug tracker is back up and running. If you have issues to report, please submit some bugs for us!
We'll be making this more visible in the coming months too! - Advanced Tags and Prefixes was reinstalled and works as intended!
So with 2017 being a success as far as our plans were concerned, here's what we have planned for 2018!
A New Logo!
First off, we decided that the W3D Hub logo was due a freshen up for 2018, so we've updated it a bit. The layout is still the same, but it now a lot crisper with flat colours on the text that make it look a lot more contemporary. Here's what we have decided to go with:
Over the course of this month, we shall be updating the logo across all of our games, services, and channels; so keep an eye out for it!
New Development Tools (SDK) - Mammoth Editor
We're proud to announce Mammoth; a brand new tool that we're hoping to develop and build on throughout the year. Mammoth is a full replacement for the venerable Commando Level Editor (that shipped with Renegade) that will allow for a much higher degree of flexibility when creating mods and maps on the W3D Engine. Here are a couple of screenshots:
It may look a lot like level edit and that's because it is currently being developed as a reverse engineering of that piece of software, however once that is complete, we can then begin adding some more outlandish features. The viewport controls have already been improved, allowing users to use the RMB and WASD to navigate the viewport and LMB to select objects without changing between view and select modes!
New Development Tools (SDK) - 3DS Max 2017 W3D Export Plugin
After years of using Gmax and 3D Studio Max 8, a new 3D export plugin is finally within our grasp! With this new plugin anybody will be able to export their models and animations from new versions of 3DS Max that are 100% compatible with Windows 10. This is really big for all of us, because it allows us to make use of software that has newer features that are much more powerful (than Gmax and Max 8 are) and easier to use.
Here's a screenshot of the new plugin in Max 2017. It's not quite ready, but we hope to release it sometime this year!
Also, because the new export plugin has been built from the ground up, we can consider the possibility of porting it to other 3D modelling programs. We know that not everyone can get their hands on a copy of 3D Studio Max, so we are also looking at integrating the plugin to work with Blender, which is a popular free software package for 3D modelling.
Much much more!
Come and take a read about the rest of our exciting roadmap on our community forums!

Also a big thankyou to all of the people who play our games and support our community! Your dedication gives us the motivation to keep C&C Renegade modding alive!
Peace Through Power! :)

any news on this new smart bot armed maps?
Well, looks like I'm late to the party once again... I'm hoping this gets a single player campaign. I'm looking forward to the implementation of smart bots. Nice to you guys are still alive! Loving it so far!
Speaking about both TS: Reborn and APB, are more bot supported maps possible?
Also are more "intelligent" bots possible?
It has been about 2 years since I've played either one, but the last time I looked at either one; there was one bot map on Tiberian Sun: Reborn that was just a ton of GDI infantry bots outnumbering a few Nod bots right in the Nod base then they would just stand around shooting every nod bot that tried to spawn in...
And in A Path Beyond there was one bot map I think called CamoCanyons, where there were many vehicle and infantry bots on both sides that spawned in random locations and battled in the center between both base...
That was cool and all, but the bot spawning wasn't connected to the base buildings so if you destroyed the soviet War Factory there would still be soviet mammoth tanks and heavy tanks magically spawning in...
Are "Renegade X Style" bots a possibility? bots that start as normal riflemen and have to go to a control Panel to purchase a different class or purchase vehicles and then jump into the vehicle they purchase and drive out to battle? Not bot vehicles that just spawn in a random "away from base" location?
I'm just wondering.
Hi there! We've actually been working on smarter bots that can play the game!
They can do things like purchase vehicles, group up for rushes and even defend the base when it's under attack. With any luck you guys might see them in the next release of TSR!
As a mostly singleplayer/co-op C&C player, it would totally be a big plus. I remember playing this game when it was still being made by RenEvo (the 0.8.0.0 Infantry Beta) and I managed to get my hands on a map with bots. Had tons of fun with it, even if the AI was just "run into the middle of the map and shoot, die either of guns or tiberium poisoning".
Indeed - these "smart bots" are already fairly well developed (though there is still much to be done). APB's ninja-spawn bots are a thing of the past, and these things now take their place (though you have to manually enable them by pressing F8 and typing "botcount 40" without the quotes, any number works but 40 is a good sweet spot). I'm sure it wouldn't be much trouble for the TSR dev team to implement them as well.
Ever thought about doing this in unreal? Just a thought
Hey, sorry for the late reply. we have thought about it, but we like the Renegade engine for many reasons. The main reason is that it does exactly what we want it to do despite being really outdated now.
Think of it like this; the W3D hub team a bunch of hobby mechanics and the W3D Engine is an old car. We just like tinkering with this old car because it's fun, not because we're trying to make something that competes with newer cars. Or so to speak.
I have a hope devs would answer to this, no trolling.
It would be 10/10 if you could add roleplay moments into this game. Like a useful chat with /emotions, character animations, customization etc?
I just would see it and donate my third kidney for it!
If there's enough call for it, then it's something we might consider. We've never had an RP community in Reborn so it's never been something we've thought about.
