Player and Community Members Dossier
Last updated November 1st 2011

An Introduction
By Reaper and BTR

With very little support from Novalogic, members of the community at different times have created all the mods,
utilities, game enhancements and hosted most of the game servers over the years. There have been a number of
players who need to be mentioned when looking back at the C4 community and how it affected the game in general.
This page is dedicated to them.

hosting a server or many other problems faced by Comanche players. As a side note =FUN= squad awarded Rab the friendship medal.

Bluetiereign:
For years Blue (also known as BTR) was a mod, then an admin at CPD. When Paul passed away in 2008, Blue took over CPD, changed
the domain from .com to .net, and continued Paul's desire to keep the information accumulated over the years available to everyone. Blue, with the help of Bane, DV and DevilsClaws was able to find out how to add new items to C4. That information opened a whole new world
to C4 modders because up to that point, no one had been able to do so. Dr. Evil Tag later worked with Blue to program a tool to change
the 3DI file created by Nova's Modding Tools without the need to use hex editing software.

While he is too modest to admit it, he IS the single driving force behind this legacy project. Without him, it could be argued that our legacy would be lost.
