EA has made the source code available for several classic titles from the Command & Conquer series. This includes Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Renegade, and Generals Zero Hour, now enhanced with support for Steam Workshop.
This initiative aligns with the upcoming 2024 release of the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection on Steam. The goal is to boost user engagement and enhance modding capabilities. To support the modding community, EA has partnered with modder Luke CCHyper Feenan to explore potential improvements for the series.
With the integration of Steam Workshop, users can publish custom maps directly. This is further supported by updates to the Mission Editor and World Builder tools. Additionally, EA has launched the C&C Modding Support Pack, which includes essential assets such as:
- XML
- Schema
- Script
- Shader
- Map files for all games utilizing the SAGE engine
The open-sourced code also features humorous comments from developers, adding a distinctive element to the release.
