Bugs in Tiberian sun

[Revolutionary]

This post is more for my reference as I am away from my normal computer but your welcome to post your own bugs

I have fixes for most of these however its just properly documenting them I need to finish 

(my patch was more complete than Aros however after a bit of a fall out with certain members and negative community response else where, I simply didn’t post any of my fixes or realise my patch.

 

If there is interest I will release assets of my patch including code.

Have you checked out the Unofficial Mini-Patch for TS? It fixes a lot of that kind of stuff.

[Revolutionary]

yea but i have more , im away from my pc atm so cant get work out which ones I (or others) have fixed and havent fixed, the mini fix was posted after i stopped contributing fixes publicaly (however a few of my fixes made it to a later version)

[Nyerguds]

well I can imagine a lot of these are problems/limitations in the engine itself.

[Revolutionary]

yea some are but there are still alot not covered by the mini-patch, a lot of the "cliping" problems for exaple go unnoticed but are fixed with a quick art change.

 

The firestorm generator and missle silo for example, (like the beta emp turret) are a compleate mess due to the lack of support for its special frames.

If you look at the firestrom generator ingame there is a jump at the end of the buildup, then look at the graphics you can see why there is a jump, the animation always playing is supose to be the active animation therefor was never supose to play directly after the structure was built hence the jump.

[Nyerguds]

Well that's kinda like how they messed up the active anim in the RA1 chronosphere, and used it as damaged state instead.

 

But as I said, in the end those are engine limitations. They didn't add support for these animations, so they can't be added without extensive hacking either.
