Well, I just did a test. Played on Casey's Canyon where Ion Storms happen often, I was ordering around a few JJs when the Ion Storm triggered, they died, but no IE. QUICK_EDIT

The issue doesn't always happen and is inconsistent. I believe that the biggest probability for a crash is when the ion storm starts just as some jumpjets are changing their height (like moving from on top of a cliff to clear ground). _________________ CnCNet Client | CnCNet TS patches | More Quality-of-Life Improvements for RA Remastered
I never experienced that IE before until playing this past week on Intoxication but I don't think I've ever had the AI use jumpjets on me in skirmish before either until playing with the 'harder AI' setting. It happened mid way through an Ion storm on me. probably the AI produced a team of JJs and tried to attack me with them causing them to want to take off into the air, I take it.
Shame there's probably no easy way to tell the game not to create AI teams of Jumpjets during Ion Storms and then to also force them to stay grounded during Ion Storms. _________________ Kalistia Crestland (2)

I thought so, if the jjs didn't cause IEs in flight then that wasn't the cause, I kinda figured it was something the jjs were doing which would have been the direct cause. I just played intoxication on techlevel 4 without any IEs, even after multiple ion storms. The only possible fix and preferable one I have at the moment is to change the ais attack method in the ai.ini and replace the jjs with another unit for them to use as an alternative attack method. This would stop the ion storm ie caused by jjs but the ai wouldn't attack with jjs anymore. QUICK_EDIT

Maybe unrelated, but I recall from an older internal TI build when we had taskforces of GDI Hover APCs filled with JJets, the game would throw an IE when the APC was destroyed. Perhaps related to the whole 'different air layer' theory? QUICK_EDIT

The music during the mission selection of the globe in the campaign doesn't play, and as soon as you start a new mission after the previous one has been completed the game music doesn't play unless you select it manually from the ingame menu. QUICK_EDIT

game crash on 2nd mission
buggy mess so far, 1st attempt in game menus were lagging after every click/when closing other menus and the game crashes, the launcher did work fine though.
I've tried using the different renderers but still get the same result, it's a shame cause this looked super promising QUICK_EDIT
Which operating system and graphics card are you using?
Have you also tried windowed mode with different renderers? With some renderers this can give better performance on Windows 8 and Windows 10.
You can also enable borderless mode along with windowed mode and then select the same resolution as your desktop res to make it look exactly like full-screen mode, with the performance of windowed mode. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Fixed: Saved games sometimes failed to load, resulting in a black screen in-game (Credits: Rampastring)
Fixed: Some waterfall animations were bugged (Credits: Bittah Commander)
Fixed: After loading a saved mission of a campaign and then progressing to the next mission, the difficulty level would always revert to Medium (Credits: Rampastring, Bittah Commander, FunkyFr3sh)
Changed: FinalSun now saves multiplayer maps as .map (Credits: Bittah Commander)
Changed: The client now automatically renames .mpr maps to .map
Changed: Players with modified files will no longer be automatically kicked when they join a game on CnCNet, but a warning message will be shown instead (Credits: Rampastring)
Changed: Custom maps now have their names shown in red to make it clear that the gameplay might be different from stock maps (Credits: Rampastring)
[*]Changed: FinalSun now saves multiplayer maps as .map (Credits: Bittah Commander)
Does FinalSun detect SP maps as MP maps?
I did the .map trick some time ago, but FA2 read SP maps as a MP map as well. Changing the .map back to .mpr solved it. _________________
Version 3.83 (October 16, 2015):
- Multiplayer games can now be saved and loaded (Credits: Rampastring)
- Enabled some previously unused videos in the Firestorm campaigns (Credits: Bittah Commander)
- The CnCNet game counter in the main menu has been hidden because it was misleading (Credits: Rampastring)
I have just installed Tiberian Sun Client and now I have a question: how to make menu animations work as in original game (not instantly)? I've tried all possible renderers, but without any effect. QUICK_EDIT
Documentation?
Look how the files are set and then change them.
Set ModMode=true in Resources\MainClient.ini to prevent autoupdates, so changes on your inis aren't changed back. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

But say for instance a private mod has a massive amount of new shp, voxel, Audio, and terrain files? Just put the all in a new ecache files(ecache03-ecachexx) like normal? Or do we have to do it similar to how TI does it?
Also the ini's that have been heavily modded over the years (ai, art, rules, sound) cannot just simply just override the defaults within the client, can they? QUICK_EDIT
MIX-files work the same as always, with the difference that they need to be in the MIX directory and you can't place MIX-files inside of other MIX-files. So you can either do it like TI or place everything in EcacheXX.mix (I recommend that you do it in an organized way however, rather than dumping everything into a single MIX-file).
It should also be fine to directly use your INI files, with the exception of battle.ini or battlefs.ini, since those need to be edited to include the proper paths to the mission maps. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Added: LAN multiplayer support (Credits: Rampastring)
Fixed: Units will no longer aggressively chase enemy units automatically (Credits: AlexB)
Fixed: Updater and custom component settings sometimes displayed "Cannot configure while connected to CnCNet" even when you weren't connected to CnCNet (Credits: Rampastring)
Fixed: The client has been optimized to work better with the GameSurge multiplayer servers (Credits: Rampastring)
Improved: The game will no longer crash when there's more than 75 buildable objects, instead additional objects will be hidden (Credits: AlexB)
Changed: The Statistics, Map Editor and Credits buttons have been moved under a new "Extras" menu (Credits: Rampastring, Bittah Commander)
Version 4.02 (January 25, 2016):
- Units set to Area Guard mode (by pressing G) will now revert to default (Guard) mode when you tell them to Stop (by pressing S) (Credits: AlexB)
- Improved the style of various client windows (Credits: Rampastring)
What exactly is FSR.ini used for by the way? It appears to be new.
FSR=Final Sun Rules.ini
It's a way to give FinalSun different categories for buildings by using houses.
It also helps giving FinalSun different images than the game (e.g. to fix some graphics that are normally shown wrong in FS) _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Of course it does. Just place down some different structures or units on the map, change their owners to the different spawn houses and see for yourself.
Final Sun only supports 4 different colors: gold, red, grey and bright yellow. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Also, I'm still having an issue where I can't disable sides using the SideOptionPrerequisites entry.
Could you show your code?
The UnloadingHarvester hack is for game.exe, it basically doesn't have anything to do with the client. I could try it, but not anytime soon because I'm busy with school.
Oh ok, so I need to just apply it in some way to the game.exe the client spawns? I wasn't sure if that's just what I needed to do or not. I probably need to just do that for the sidebar hack.
As for the SideOptionPrerequisites, I'll leave the game options ini below. I basically just renamed the Firestorm option for my mod like the Enhanced mode in DTA.
When the sidebar hack is enabled in Spawn.ini, it makes the game search for side-specific MIX files for 3rd factions and up when a new faction is selected.
For example, when you select the 4th faction, the game will search for Sidec04.mix, SideCD04.mix and Speech04.mix and the give "Unable to load scenario!" error when any of these files aren't found.
When the hack isn't enabled in Spawn.ini, the game will just use Sidec02.mix, SideCD02.mix and Speech02.mix for all but the first faction (GDI). _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I copied Side01 and Side02 as Side03 and Side04. Whenever the hack is enabled, it loads Nod files for GDI, GDI files for Nod. For the third and forth sides, it loads Nod Sidebar files with the GDI Speech files. I have no idea what's going on here. QUICK_EDIT
Enable [ForcedSpawnIniOptions] -> SidebarHack=Yes in GameOptions.ini and have side specific mix files for
like 3rd side - sidec03.mix, sidecd03.mix, sidenc03.mix, speech03.mix and e01scd03.mix.
Sidebar works with these changes, but I did test them with skirmish only. QUICK_EDIT
I actually applied those hacks last Monday and thought I sent it Rampastring already, but it seems I haven't (well, I did, but it excluded the spawner patches for testing purposes and thus obviously couldn't be used for the client's TS build). A new update that does include the necessary hacks will likely be uploaded soon. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I understand, but I live in the US so it was mid day for me.
It did seem like that fixed the problem, I'm surprised that was the issue to be honest.
About the new update, does that mean the game.exe shipping with the client will contain a couple pre-installed patches then? If so, outside of the sidebar hack, will it contain any more hacks? QUICK_EDIT
It contains a number of patches. For starters it has Iran's spawner features that are necessary to start matches directly from the client without having to use the ingame menus and also to make use of the Spawn# houses on maps. Additionally the spawner also includes various other features and fixes, as well as HyperPatch.
Aside from that there's also AlexB's fixes:
- prevent units in Guard mode from chasing enemy units all over the map
- a fix that makes units in Area Guard mode revert back to Guard mode when you press S
- a fix to prevent the game from crashing if an ion storm starts when a Jump Jet infantry is in the air
- a fix to prevent more than 75 cameos from appearing on the sidebar and thus crashing the game
- a hack to allow tiberium to do 0 damage when it has Power=0 specified and also to make it do 5 times as much damage to infantry as normal (this has been compensated for via Rules.ini so that it does the same damage as before and the benefit of this is that it's now also possible for tiberium that does a lot of damage to infantry to still use debris for its chain reaction).
And in addition to that there's of course my hacks to make the game load INI and MIX files from sub-directories and Iran's hacks to allow the game to load side-specific files for new factions.
It also includes the logger that Hyper originally added to DTA. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Anyway the spawner system is a copy of hifi's spawner for Red Alert 1, code is pretty much the same too.
You did, but AlexB did a new one because it wasn't possible for blue tiberium to have a proper chain-reaction, while still doing the same damage to to infantry as in vanilla TS. This is why blue tiberium did 0 damage to infantry in both DTA and TI for a good while. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Didn't know the cameo limit was an issue, isn't that much of an issue to prevent more than 75 from appearing. It's harder to allow it to have more than 75 because of savegame support, else it would be really easy to add support for more cameos. The anti-cheat code I wrote already does something similar to prevent sidebar hacks. QUICK_EDIT
