Tiberian Sun doesn't run in CnCNet, does individually!

I am unable to run TS in CnCNet, it gives me a black screen, and if I alt-tab out and in, I get the screen you see in the attachment. I have HyperPatch 0.2 and ddwrapper, but I don't see why ts-spawn would go wild on them.

 

The issue persists even after reinstalling.

Do you have Scorpia9a's wsock32.dll in your folder?

 

ts-spawn.exe is based on HyperPatch 0.2 and ddwrapper is included with the config tool so that's no problem.

[Plokite_Wolf]

I shouldn't, I made a fresh install less than half an hour ago, I don't have anything except HyperPatch 0.2, ddwrapper and CnCNet 5.0

[Tore]

What happens when you run ts-spawn.exe directly?

[Plokite_Wolf]

The same attached screen.

[Tore]

I guess you installed TS from the original CD's.

 

ts-spawn.exe is No CD and requires files from the CD's being in the directory the game is ran from.

 

I uses Nyerguds' No CD patch so I think it is reversible.

[Plokite_Wolf]

Then say so...  :roll:

 

Which files exactly?

[Tore]

TS needs to have a bunch of files present so it doesn't complain. They can be dummy mix files and thus not the real full ones if you want to save disc space.

 

x means any number.

 

movies0x.mix

maps0x.mix

sidecdx.mix

speechx.mix

scores.mix (use FS one if you want all music)

multi.mix (contains maps, use FS file if you want all maps for the ingame menu, otherwise CnCNet downloads them it it's own)

e01scd0x.mix

expand01.mix (not sure if FS installs this to disk)

Sorry, I didn't know the No-CD was hard-coded into the EXE I'm using.

[Nyerguds]

Psh. Make it a config option

[Iran]

Okay I've written some no-CD code now, it needs to be tested and added to the next CnCNet 5 update.
