Glittering tiberium

In TSTW, the tiberium makes a glittering effect which is a very nice feature. How do I enable this?

You have to add CellAnims to the tiberium patches
(the TIB01 etc things in rules.ini)

CellAnim=GreenTwinkle etc

the anim should be listed in the animation list and should have a RandomRate for the best effect.

So, how does the random rate work exactly? What would the recommended amount be?

sparklying tiberium renders multiplayer games useless due to too many anims displaying at once resulting in a syncronization error 100% of the time about 3mins into playing

Checking the fault logs after the event will explain all (over 1MB in size with sparkling anim lol)

RA2 has had new source code written for it and works on an entirely different system (the CellAnim tag is completely abandoned in RA2 afaik, if it is used it is Very Rare)

Works in TSTW (as I originally got it to work in TSR long before btw) but it will not (even in TSTW) work in mplay. Reason for which it is in no version of TSR past v1.1

And no u cant attach voxel debris to terrain objects/overlay

open RA2 in an exe decompiler and you'll find many many things from TS, even the old "internal error" message box. it even says "original filename: sun.exe"

so no, i dont think it was a whole new source written (sorry if this topic is old i was searching for something)
