Welcome to the TS Barracks!!!

Banshee · Posted: Sun Nov 17, 2002 1:39 am Post subject: Welcome to the TS Barracks!!!

Welcome people! This forum was made to help people modding TS. Basically, when you have any doubts about modding or problems with your mod, ask here. We will also post tutorials here to avoid the same question twice. We do also welcome ppl's work to be posted here, since people may attach their files whenever they need. This forum is viewable to unregistered users, but you need to register to post.

Modding TS is quite good, since it allows you to create or modify your unit settings, graphics, weapons and its projectile and consequences, animations, superweapons, AI actions, etc without the burocracy of Red Alert 2, but with more limitations from it. And... it's also very easy and fast to test it.

So, that's it. Remember that whenever you get used of Tiberian Sun, mod it and you'll have a new customized gameplay. If you wanna go even further, join mod making groups like PPM and gain new e-friends, fun and a great mod as a reward in the end with your name in the credits Wink

Assuming that the thread numbering has not changed, all but the last link have been updated.

P.S. I used the Replace feature in Wordpad, that we are discussing in a nother thread, so it was not much work at all. Very Happy

Banshee do what you like with this post. Smile

Ok, the links works now, but when I was talking about update the links, I thought it was to add all topics of this forum in it like I did when I first created this forum. If it's just to make links works, it has now been updated.

thnx for reminding me. All links are updated (I love Wordpad #Tongue

... it did this in a second Wink

)

Banshee · Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2004 2:25 am Post subject:

I've just been checking here and I might remove the link to the "Evil topic about Voxel and SHP Editors".... the topic is really evil, since it still recommends Will SHP Editor to edit SHPs Laughing

. Currently, BS SHP Builder is much better than Will's. I also recommend BS SHP Builder for converting image files to SHP (TS), since it's faster and quality is considerably better.

Except BS SHP Builder doesn't support PCX, GIF or PNG yet.

I posted some links in the CnC Editing Tools Forum.

Mwahahahahaha! I have a version here that supports PCX Twisted Evil

But no GIF yet... at least until patent of Unisys expire... since I dont wanna be charged to include GIF in a freeware, neither include that alternative TGIF that adds loads of useless trash to the program.

What do you mean with this anyway ? Smile

Banshee · Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2004 10:03 pm Post subject:

I mean that I hate that .CSF and the fact that you have to add the name of the unit in the cameo when editing RA2 units.

Me three.

This was my reply to him:

Quote:

I haven't done any C&C modding for many months.

If I remember correctly, there is a setting in the rules.ini that handles that and it will only work in multiplayer if all players have exactly the same rules.ini

Right so, I'm using Tibedit (I think it's called that, it's been a fair time since I last used it) and I've been trying my hardest to introduce my own side, and I've had to borrow cameos/appearances from the other two sides' buildings/tanks/inf/etc.

I got the MCV as the default starting vehicle, as a tester, but when I start the skirmish, I get a blank screen? Any idea what the hell is going on, is it Tibedit or am I epic-failing at my job?

well it's actually an age old struggle that every TS modder has had to face at one point or another. There's a few workarounds for adding a third side that you can find posted in the forums. I'd point you towards the tutorials section, look through there. here is the tutorial you want

I think he's using the MCV as a starting unit and only having 1 starting unit. I think the only problem with that is hat the AI won't know how to use it properly..

But yeah, if you have additional questions I'd recommend starting a new topic here in the Tiberian Sun Editing Forum

I'd like to know if it is possible to have more than one amphibious apc. I've tried to and it doesn't seem to work.

Plus, I also like to know how to control the landing approach of aircraft.

Lin Kuei Ominae · Seth **Joined**: 16 Aug 2006 **Location**: Germany

No, only one water APC is possible. The game is hardcoded to use the unit with the name APC and APCW for this.

only via the keys IsDropship=yes and SlowdownDistance= you can slightly change the way aircraft land.
