New Mod Released: Resistance Intense Mod
by marcolle on Nov.23, 2010, under News, Urban Assault

A new complete mod made by MarioSDU6/SDU7 was released to the UA, and now you can be certain, the game is harder than ever!
It now includes the four units of the Metropolis Dawn, which you can’t find on normal gameplay: Ground Cube; Crusher; Ostwind; and Thor’s Hammer.

The levels you normally play are more difficult and with more Hosts and Flaks Stations for you to destroy.

New color for the Resistance Units, to it looks like more the “blue faction”, but if you prefer the oldstylished icons you can put the original.

With the “Intense” difficulty you have an excessive number of kills, making the game better to play!
To download it, enter in Mod Post to find the requirements and to ask for anything to the author.
Don’t trash more your time playing several times the original campaign, download this mod to enjoy several hours of a “Intense” game.

First Tutorial: How put Mods, without delete original levels
by marcolle on Jun.02, 2010, under Tutorials
A lot of Urban Assault Fans want to play a mod after completing the game, because the number of players that play Multiplayer is very low, so this is a tutorial to show how you can do that without deleting the levels of the original game, in case you want to play this later.
WARNING: If you destroy your PC in process, it is your fault…
Requirements:
- UA and UA Metropolis Dawn Expansion , both registered on system. (Downloadable on http://www.metropolisdawn.com/files)
- Knowledge about editing registries on Windows.
Tutorial
- First of all, download a mod here: http://www.metropolisdawn.com/files
- Now, go to the folder where you install UA and copy the levels folder. Paste it and put any name you want. Example: urbanrace6′s levels
- Take the levels of the mod, downloaded earlier, and put them in the folder of levels created
- Now go to the UA folder and copy\paste Taer_save folder and rename it. Example: UR6_Save
- Now is the dangerous part, it is for your own risk: Open the regedit (it can be made by a lot of ways, so I won’t say any), and copy the registries of “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Urban Assault\1.0″, but in a key with another name. Example: “…\Urban Assault\UR6″
- After you copy the same things on the regedit, change the strings data, levels, and save, with the following informations: data -> “C:\…\Urban Assault\dataxp”; levels ->”C:\…\Urban Assault\urbanrace6′s levels“; save -> “C:\…\Urban Assault\UR6_save“
- Now, go to the folder where UA is installed and copy\paste the Taer_env and rename. Example: UR6_env.
- Open the New_env folder and open with the notepad the levels.def file and edit the number in it to 1.
- Copy the Taerkasten shortcut, go to Properties and change the -env Taer_env to the one create earlier. Example: -env UR6_env
- Open the game, go to Save\Load and create a new profile. Delete the others ones, if exists.
- Now you can run your mods, and the original game.
Observation: With this proccess you will not have the first 2 tutorial levels.
