Tiberian Sun Old(beta) inis

The title + description is a copy/paste from a really old website

Back in the day I used to visit http://editing.tiberian.com quite alot (im sure Blade and banshee will remember this place) it was a cool place to go years ago. This was before I really started modding

Anyway I remember an old old mod called Icestorm and it was pretty impressive for its time, remember this is a time before voxel editors, map makers and where XCC Mixer and XCC Mix Extractor where about all you got as far as modding go's (certainly more impressive than some of the junk i see today like TS Pro or tiberian mayhem which i just seen on Moddb Rolling Eyes

joke)

anway enough of the history lesson, take a look at this link

Quote:

Tiberian Sun Old(beta) inis This is the inis (rules and art only) of the old beta of Tiberian Sun. A version of TS before the official release.

I think they where legit
I did download it years ago, all i seem to remember is 2 things
1. It did not work and crashed TS
2. The rules.ini and art.ini where in a single .ini file (called rules.ini) from what i remember

As it didnt work i binned it and forgot about it (this was like 9 years ago)
I did at a later stage (probably about 4/5 years ago) contact MHR (one of the members of icestorm) but he said that it was another member that knew about the file

Blade might know something... but other than that im at a complete loss

Sorry for the misleading title but..... well i coulda been crueler and posted a thread titled (TS Source code here) and posted these two screenies

Edit:
Also incase anyone is interested a few years back I was talking with a few of the ppl from westwood like gooch and Joe Bostic concerning the beta and although i no longer have the email he pretty much said that beta versions where destroyed and if there is anything left (which is unlikely) its now in the hands of EA
Not very useful info i know but still might put some peoples minds at rest

EA dont have the beta, these versions where overwritten once a new build was made, thus 2.03, graphics and all is what they have, many PSDs and comments in the source code is what remains of usable material, but we wont get them.

I dont think they are the beta INIs, mainly becuase the beta INIs would include a lot more comments about the AI system, what i remember Isgreen talking about some time ago (remember them PMs we sent SMIFF?), plus AI generals had some sections for the generals themself if i remember right.

I dont think WW/EA would have any type SVN system for the INIs since they would be correcting there mistakes.

Though i do remember them SMIFF, with the art in the rules, and the reason i think it crashed was to do with incorrect image<->techno links.

Err, TS Beta CD? You mean the Demo? becuase the two missions on there are not the beta in any way...

The only major TS beta build was the one we know of where it had the nice brown cliffs and pretty much the RA sidebar. (GDI one in the screenshots was Photoshoped in)
