Hello everyone! A well known member of our forums, Blade (you may know him from the Terrain Expansion or from RedAlert++) has started an interesting project called Thyme. It works pretty much like Ares, except that it will inject code on Generals: Zero Hour. Here's the words from Blade about it:
Will that be the end of the evil SCUD bug? It's early to say, but we'll keep our eyes opened in this initiative. If you have C++ knowledge and you are willing to improve Zero Hour, talk to Blade in the #thyme channel on freenode.net IRC or post a reply here.

| I've just pushed the beginings of a Zero Hour reimplementation project to https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme if anyone is interested in contributing to such a project. The project is using a similar approach to the one recently used successfully by the OpenRCT2 project. That is, the reimplementation is initially being implemented as a dll that is injected into the game run time that replaces the games functions with new implementations as they are written, allowing it to be reimplemented a bit at a time. I've already reimplemented the custom memory allocator the game uses as well as a couple of string classes. Its very early days for the project, but if anyone has some C++ knowledge and is interested in getting involved, drop by the #thyme channel on freenode.net IRC. When some significant progress has been made it should become possible to fix engine bugs and add additional features to the game. |
