Yeahts client is great, its made so anyone can make their own modded ts version. U can just tell yoir friends to use that one instead and play online on ts client. But yeah everyone is on cncnet client. And they're basically the same, but cncnet is very well made by funky to avoid cheating. Ts client can be edited very easily and even add checkboxes and such. But funky is not gonna change his client so he aint gonna respond. Everyone is discussing this for years... it is how it is and its pretty good tho lol, people just prefer cncnet

Each client has a different target audience, I personally don't do mods and always played with the ones that dislike mods and prefer the original game hence why my client isn't very moddable, this is intentional to ensure no one is cheating.

You would need a closed source build of rampas client to be able to have similar anti-cheat and you also would need to remove a lot of the modding features (e.g. custom game options that modify the maps etc) but then modders would be left with the same you get in my client

So I just found out that this was a thing. I read that I needed a patch so i went to the TT website and downloaded the 4.7 client from the site and its not letting me choose a folder to install the client. I also have downloaded renegade from the origin play store, and when i click on the join server option it does nothing but bring up the origin page with renegade on it. I just figured i need a patch. Anything helps thanks.

It says it will "install in the following folder" There is no folder selected. When I try to select a folder, it doesn't give me to option to select a location to install to. Is there something we can type into the "Destination Folder" box? Some series of clicks on the "Browse" button?

This should be the first thing you see when running the TT installer. If the default location does not match your Renegade folder, then you can correct it by using the "browse" button to navigate to the correct folder.

Einstein, I am having the same issue, but where do I go? There is no Westwood folder on my computer after installing C&C: Renegade via EA Origin, so I am not sure where to go. There is, using the browse function, an Origin Games folder with a Renegade subfolder, does that sound right? I did also just find a WestwoodOnline folder, but I do not think that is the correct folder for a client patch, right?

For modders starting a new Tiberian Sun mod, it is not required, but highly recommended that you begin with installing the TS Client. The new file structure directly exposes the most critical INI and MIX files of the game, meaning that you don't need to download any special tools for most basic modding.

To install the Tiberian Sun Client, simply extract the files contained in the download into a new, unique directory. This Tiberian Sun package is stand-alone and does not require the base game to function.

If you're a programmer and wish to modify the client, the C# code is open-source at Github.com. Feel free to fork it and do whatever changes you want. We only have a request that if you release a public mod that uses the client, you credit Rampastring of Dawn of the Tiberium Age (the mod that the client software was originally made for).

As most of you have surely noticed, Dawn of the Tiberium Age and Twisted Insurrection got large updates last autumn that also included an entirely new client. However, this side-project of ours was left with the old, by-now horribly outdated client for a long time. Some of you have even been asking for an update in the comment sections. Today the situation has finally changed; the Tiberian Sun Client package has been updated to use the latest, same technology that DTA and TI use.

The update servers for the old version of the client went offline almost a year ago. Because of that, the old version (4.xx) of the client unfortunately won't be automatically updated to the latest version. So, you'll have to download the whole package again. But it should be worth it!

If you want singleplayer campaign videos and want to save yourself some bandwidth, you can keep the video MIX files (MIX\Expand01/02/03.mix) from the old version, download the video-less version of the new client, and then move the video MIX files from the old version to the MIX\ directory that resides inside of the new version's directory. You'll also have to rename the files from Expand01/02/03.mix to Movies01/02/03.mix, respectively.

A lot has changed since the old 4.08 version of the client. We don't have a detailed change-log available, however. The development of the new client, that has been re-written from scratch, started roughly a year ago and so all other changes have also accumulated over the year, and in the process we didn't keep track of every single small change that has been done. I did list some of the more important changes in the changelog, but that's only a fairly small sub-set of what a real changelog would look like. Despite the lack of a changelog the project's aim has stayed consistent though; we've only fixed bugs and extended Tiberian Sun. The original gameplay, including campaigns, remains unchanged from Tiberian Sun with the exception of bug-fixes.

In addition to the client, the bug-fixes and feature extensions to the original Tiberian Sun Game.exe file by the CnCNet team have been made open source. The code is available at Github.com. Unless you're very skilled in x86 Assembly language, C/C++ and reverse-engineering, the code is probably not going to be much of use for you however. The repository also currently lacks a few changes that I made for this package's Game.exe; I'll push the changes to the repository within the next few weeks.

With the new spawner and client, it's unlikely that there's all that much to fix or improve in this project anymore. But if something that can be fixed or improved with a reasonably low amount of work is found, we'll update the build as usual. Until then, have fun, commanders!

You know I'm very dissappointed witn tiberian sun client, I modify the rules ini for my own taste, the only thing I did is I made sandbag walls be able to build in campaign because I'm really missing it, also I made service depot for all sides and the game is calling me a cheater ,it's not like those things will give you significant advantage I did it for my own taste, but developer thought that only he can do that and is calling other people cheaters, that's lame , very lame

Sorry to ask, but I am unable to finish the "Rescue Tratos" mission (GDI). Seems like some kind of bug? Have tried about half a dozen times (starting all over again instead of loading up a save game), trying to finish in all kinds of different ways, in so far that is possible. For some reason, after having destroyed everything Nod-related (including walls), there is no "mission complete" popping up. Any ideas?

"There's a tib field below the medical facility you rescue Tratos from. I've had a few Nod troops be stuck in the map border in that area before (until I finally saw them and shot at them). Could be the issue"

If that fails, we do not have save files, but we do have a mod package that makes all campaign missions individually playable from the menu. Applying that would disable the side-missions-affect-main-missions logic of the campaign though.

Hey Rampastring, Do you have a vanilla version of the TS client with out the Firestorm patch my XP computer won't load my original disks for some reason. A client with no patches, bug fixes, or updates. Like it's hot off of the press. Sorry to say but like how EA made it. Nod's Artillery are my favorite in the vanilla version and when EA came out with firestorm they messed up the artillery. I need a demake of the game until I can get my new XP computer Next Year. Please and Thank You!

Question: I have save files from the 2010 freeware version and in "Destroy Chemical Supply" I finally got sick of the long load times and occasional crashes and downloaded this mod. Is there a way to make my save files from that version fully compatible with this one? Currently I can load a save but despite being a GDI campaign I get the Nod interface, and when I attempt to restart the mission from scratch I get "Unable to read scenario."

Saves from other versions of Tiberian Sun are unfortunately not compatible and cannot be made compatible with the Tiberian Sun Client. Saves in Tiberian Sun are basically selective raw memory dumps, meaning any changes made to the game easily break them.

The Tiberian Sun Client is a complete, stand-alone Tiberian Sun package for both players and modders. It fixes all known (fixable) bugs in Tiberian Sun and offers a ton of new functionality, including a new easier-to-mod file structure, new game options and pre-defined starting locations and teams. With the Client's bugfixes and enhancements, Tiberian Sun players get a significantly enhanced experience compared to the original game, while enjoying gameplay exactly identical to the original game. For modders starting a new Tiberian Sun mod, it is not required, but highly recommended that you begin with installing the TS Client. The new file structure directly exposes the most critical INI and MIX files of the game, meaning that you don't need to download any special tools for most basic modding.
