Like the title says, this thread is for posting questions and requests. If answers or fixes are found, I will then move them to the actual bug fixes -thread in Tutorials forum.

I will start:

I noticed that the Tiberian Flora will get lit despite the flag "IsFlammable=" set to "no/false". Thus I believe the flag is broken, or it wont work with terrain types which are recognized as trees. Is there any other way to prevent these terrain types from getting burned?

IsFlammable could also mean if the fire spreads. I never saw many Fona trees next to each other so i don't know if the fire spreads from one to the other on them too.

Another Question
Does anyone know how to fix the shadow bug of the cliffs? Afaik it's only a problem on the North East cliff corner.
To which cliff do the shadows in c_shadow belong? Does anyone know which shadow belongs to the NE-cliff corners.

1. In a map I've recently worked on, there's few places with a couple of these Floras next to each other, and yes, they do spread the fire.

2. The shadow is missing from the water cliff corner pieces that connect to the shore, because there's no shadow image for them in the c_shadow file (even when they look exactly like the normal corner pieces, they are counted as their own). I haven't tried to fix it yet, but I believe you only need to add one more frame to the c_shadow file, which is a copy of the normal cliff corner piece shadow. I don't know if you can add frames to it, though.

Here is two fixes.

One of the snow tunnels are missing the top. To fix this you need to add an extra tunnel with overlay and make it non-placable

Two to pass a train under a bridge you need to make tracks on a tile, since you can not have two overlays on each other. the track will be canceled.

Both of these can be funded in the TX. The tunnel top problem will be in the moon theater. Smile

I think you're in the wrong thread, DJB Neutral

This is about Tiberian Sun, not Red Alert: Yuri's Revenge

No the problem is in both. The tunnel solution was found became some one was complaining about it missing in TS a long time ago. You can check it out your self.

Yep, it seems like you were right. The normal road tunnel tiles are missing the top parts. Thanks for the fix DJB, I had never noticed that bug before Smile

From working on the TX I have found a lots of trick that would boggle the mind but since we had to stick with compatibility with the game I was limited on what I can do. Smile

I found the solution when I was adding tunnels to the lunar theaterof RA2.

Include a TFD Version with Nyerguds' Video Fix Makes TFD TS Run without CD and reads firestorm videos (normally in movies03.mix) from movies01.mix. Additionally the fix-videos.exe fixes the intro videos in ts

I know TS is the only TFD game other than Renegade/Generals that doesn't run without CD, but I haven't seen anything wrong with the Firestorm movies...they run all fine...
