Anyone else ever trying to add the third and the fourth side like DTA did?

I am trying using Crystallized Doom as experiment but failed ... Mad

Have you used this tutorial?

DTA's method actually has quite a few differences and thanks to the addition of the Spawn# houses that were added by Iran's spawner, it's done in a more direct way than explained by that tutorial.

I'll could write a tutorial on how to do it when I have some more time.

Crystallized Doom is a mod with working and playable four different side. In the past I have been trying to make it work under cncnet5, DTA and an earlier version of CNCnet. There is one client that succeed to load the game (into battlefield) but the AI plays dumb, they do not deploy their MCV..

You need to trick them into deploying. See the tutorial.

Crystallized Doom already used that tutorial... and working just fine with original Tiberian Sun.
It's seem, I'm afraid, that the current version of 'TiberianSun_Client' does not support 'that tutorial' and the mod that used it...

-->I'm not the creator of 'that' mod, I'm just using it for 'testing purpose' for these so called 'TiberianSun_Client' because it is the only 'working' mod with 4 playable side in Tiberian Sun Era...

... the AI still plays dumb, they do not deploy their MCV..

..all these prerequisite codes:

BaseUnit=HELPER ; An extra fake unit needed for AI to work properly
BuildConst=HELPERDEP1 ; An extra fake building needed for AI to work properly

[MultiplayerDefaults]
...
Bases=yes ; So you always start with the unit listed in BaseUnit=, and the side-specific MCV.
ShortGame=no ; Setting this yes would require redesigning the HELPER unit and how it works
UnitCount=2 ; BaseUnit (HELPER) + side-specific MCV
.... implemented in Game Lobby screen as requested in tutorial..

why you don't try yourself and see what I mean..
However.. thanks anyway for response..
