Announcement: Tiberian Sun: Total War (Screenies!)

The DvD · Last edited by The DvD on Mon May 26, 2003 5:53 pm; edited 1 time in total

Well i thought the Main Forum would be the right place to announce my new TS mod, TS: Total War. Right now the only things i can show you are some screens... but I can guarantee you they give only a slight impression of the mod itself, as it's HUGE. In the next days i'll likely update this post as soon as i've taken some more cool screenies...

Some features of this mod:

-Restores several features that were cut from the game
-Adds over 50 new units and over 20 new buildings
-Better balancing that in original TS (Firestorm)
-4 different sides: GDI, Nod, CABAL, and Mutants
-Enhanced realism and special FX
-Brand new veteran system ; now you'll want to keep your units alive to get them promoted.
-Comes with several cool looking and fast playing multi maps.
-Now if only I could get the save game feature working!

It's not a lightning storm... it's a weapon lauched by the plane that's flying above the base.

Firstly

nice maps (u make them or are they converted RA2 or mission maps)
either way i like them and im jelous Razz

secondly nice use of lighting in the maps, i like that

thirdly
dont make buildings emit lighting unless ur in a mission
otherwise cloaked bases are just pointless as there so easy to spot ( I tested with this in retro a long time back, trust me on Mplay its really dumb)

four(thly)
cameos look a little sketchy, but i know its early days yet

wt does the Ore Processing Refiner thingy do from RA2 ?

See I only use lap posts both teams get a different lap post red for nod and blue for GDI so if you cloak just turn the posts off.

So is it an invisible cluster which produces the lightning when the debris explodes?

- thanks! i made most map myself but some are converted mission maps...

-yes i like that too.

-you've got a point here... i'll use hellfire's solution.

-well, at the moment i've got a very goodlooking cameo for almost everything Very Happy

You mean by scetchy, they don't fit with eachother orso? Because the individual cameos looks better IMO that the ones on your side (but i thing they're outdated, aren't they Confused

?)

I work with Animation Lists... comparable to the meteor, but different.

SMIFFGIG · Posted: Fri May 30, 2003 12:15 pm Post subject:

looks to me just like an airburst weapon

but also looks nice

btw
WindDirection=3 should do the trick

0 being north then NE E SE
0,1,2,3

see what i mean

Holy crap! I underestimated you, thedvd! This mod is looking AWESOME! Where'd you get the lightning images? From RA2? (TS's are hard-coded like the railgun and laser...)

I can't wait to play your mod!

I sincerly hope you dont mean what i think you mean. If, however, you do, then shut up, nobody cares if its copied and pasted from somewhere else. Some of the best stuff in the community has been copied and pasted from somewhere so dont give me or anyone else that crap about copyright, if WW or EA or EAP cared if we used there images for things they would have stepped in by now. Obviously since they haven't they dont mind (at least within the cnc community). I will say it once again in case ou missed it the first time, i have yet to see anything of yours that anyone would want to copy let alone copyright so grow up.

(Sorry, i was in a bad mood, and felt like doing some n00b bashing, feel free to delete this if you dont like it i really wont mind i just wanted to get that out.)

Everyone's that's making cameos is using these WW renders...so what's the point?
