Archives of my various abandoned YR projects and any modding resources I collected over the years (either resources that I made myself or third party stuff that is (in some cases) quite hard to find on the Internet)

Development version of Purple Alert 8 (mod).
Never quite got around to finishing this but there was a lot of awesome new stuff in it. Feel free to develop it further!
http://marshall.strategy-x.com/yr_resour..._purple.7z

Development version of UMP
Some more fixes were coming. This contains the LB mod and the files for the Developer's Pack.

Behind the scenes video of Yuri's Revenge cutscenes mainly featuring Kari Wuhrer.

General Modding Resources, including graphics, sound, code, notes and more. You may have to figure out original owners and what usage rights are implied.

All the development files (including work in progress graphics, sound, code and notes) for my Yuri's Revenge UFO Enemy Unknown total conversion.

Enjoy! And I'd love to hear of anything you make using this stuff.

Most of you will have noticed my severe absence over the past many months. Some of you might not even have heard of me!

Clearly real life has taken over and I must stop kidding myself about the liklihood of my various projects getting released. So many amazing ideas started and never enough time to finish them.

As such I must officially recognise that I am not an active part of the C&C community any more. I'll still duck in from time to time to see how everything is going 'cause this was a good community that I am proud to have been a part of. The culmination of Ares was just so much awesome, sadly I fear it came too late in Yuri's life, certainly in mine!

I know I promised a few people a Purple Alert 8 and I still intend to release the work in progress version as soon as I can. In addition, my complete collection of resources and notes for planned RA2/YR projects and ideas will be made freely available for whoever wants it.
The source code for Launch Base is already available online thanks to Renegade and I am hopeful that he will be happy to host my works for as long as people want them.

Once again, getting this stuff online and tidying the website for that purpose will take a bit more of that precious commodity, however I have some time off in a few weeks so hopefully it won't be too long a wait.

Thank you all again for being so unbelievably awesome. I pretty much owe my career to Renegade Projects.

If anyone has any questions for me or requests for knowledge from my archive then please don't hesitate to post here or send me a PM for a quicker reply.]]>

Shortly after releasing this I've become aware of a bug with the new log handling. Basically, anything produced by Ares will be ignored and, without Ares, even except.txt will be ignored.
