How can we attract more players to Tiberian Sun?
Pigeon replied toGrant's topic in Tiberian Sun
Oh, I'm sorry but IMHO Your work barely fills the term of 'strategy guide'. Except general descriptions here'n'there this so-called 'guide' isn't guiding at all. For instance - what is (or was) the most popular army composition for GDI and Nod? How to make fast eng-rush? How to control the map? What are the key points on several maps to keep eye on? How to expand?I'm not critisizing nor arguing with You but lack of basic build orders or how to control army numbered in few dozens are just a few things to hand on utter novice.StarCraft: Brood War isn't apealing at all. Before I've stumbled upon Team Liquid's Guide I was unable to win a single game. Once I've learned two cheesy BO's I've started winning against players who also lacked of proper guidance.Tiberian Sun & Firestorm - Ukrainian Translation

FPS is bound with animation and only then it makes a real difference. If Rifleman shoots in interval of 2-3 frames with game refreshing at 25 FPS, the same unit will shoot faster with 60 FPS refresh rate. Hence is why Blizzard made a huge mistake with refresh rate at the early version of StarCraft because it was bound to CPU speed. I don't have to mention that Blizzard's IP needs approx. 100 Mhz (even less) and when CPU clocks gained significant power the game was simply unplayable on newer CPU's. That's why the game had to be slowed down back to around 23 FPS (on fastest setting).However, the C&C titles suffers from lack of stable refresh rate. Even though for newer rigs it's not a big deal to play 20 yo game, the game engine is still the same and FPS drops are still siginificant. Despite sincere desires of community hackers, some obstacles cannot be overcomed due to game engine which is simply obsolete and requires abandoned solutions no longer supported by modern systems. For some of You who don't follow: OpenRA runs flawlessly because it was written from scratch with up-to-date solutions used in gaming industry. Same things won't work with C&C95 or RA2 simply because game engine is a proprietary thing and freeware don't make it any easier. Even abandonware is not that abandoned if you rewrite application from ground-up.How can we attract more players to Tiberian Sun?

If You want to attract newcomers to the game the easiest way is to write / record strategy guides with openings, mid-game tactics and late-game instructions. This is how StarCraft maintain player base, because there is always something to learn or practice about. Anyway, I know there are some strategy guides 'out there' but honestly, we should consider upload them on some Wiki fanpage with link to CnCNet so new players won't feel lost.What are pros? First of all, the veterans can assume that rivals at least knows basics. That makes game at least competetive and not a waste of time when the oponent rather on conflict focuses on base-building. Secondly, players at least know what are the build orders so even if they don't feel confident in 1v1, they can try 2v2 or 4v4. Lastly, organise some kind of 'n00b League' with 'no pressure' rules so even if some people won't make any progress after some time in game, they can at least have some fun.Tiberian Sun patches - Fix for the windows 8 / 10 menu problems and more

I have a different kind of issue with game. When i turn in on, and try to record it using FRAPS it gets crash. I can't even beat first GDI mission because of that. I tried many different options, many configurations - no results. When i'll get back home i'll try upload error message that pops-up right after crash.Cheers!To Iran Regarding Tiberian Sun Cheats

The easiest way to fight with cheating, would be program which scans local game folder for search of any unaccepted files selected by community. However, the problem is that the trainer can be run out of the game folder, and / or replace official files with corrupted ones.I've seen such application in StarCraft. It's called 'ICCup Launcher' and it includes Anti Hack. I have no idea how it works - because i'm not a programmer - but i never seen a hacks during games using ICCup Launcher.The official CnCNet5 client+game package download thread

You downloaded it from Ubuntu distro? Because latest (stable) version is 1.6.1., but you have to add Wine repository:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppaBack to topic...I'm using PlayOnLinux, which is based on Wine and allows to use many Wine versions for each installed program. For example: i have StarCraft, Origin and CnCNet installed, but each of them are using seperate versions of Wine for best performance. StarCraft: BW is using 1.5.1 Wine, because latest versions of Wine don't work properly with BattleNet (issues with BNet graphic overlay). Here it is how it look like:CnCNET works marvelous with Wine (no difference at all to Windows), but it has some issues with virtual drives. Somehow it doesn't see a virtual drive on which it is installing. I had to manually select 'default' drive, and during installation process change the destination folder. It's not a huge problem. Just inconvenience. I don't know even how it could be fixed, but other programs don't force me to install them in 'Downloaded' folderThe official CnCNet5 client+game package download thread
Pigeon replied toFunkyFr3sh's topic in CnCNet Discussion
Your installer isn't working properly on Linux. More precisely with PlayOnLinux. For no obvious reason it doesn't see virtual drive on which program is installing - with some workarounds it installs correctly, but it's an uncomfortable issue. Nevertheless program runs smoothly as it should be.Tiberian sun internal error with Campaign/Skirmish/Anything.

How to use it: New Entry: you can add your pigeon by going through New Entry, here you have to enter your single pigeon details (Name, Ring Number, Father's Ring Number, Mother's Ring Number, Details about the pigeon, Gender ). It has a glitch or something i uninstalled and reinstalled it like 5 times today and it doesn’t work: when i click the game pigeon button it stays on the keyboard, but any other iMessage app still works. When other people send me gamepigeon games, no matter how hard or how many times i try, it won’t let me click on it, same with in my own apps i can’t click on it. The only way it shows.

I didn't expect to actually tear up but here I am, teared up
Lovely short game, beautiful narration.
Probably the fastest a game has brought me to tears (in a good way!)
Thank you so much for making this <3
Hi, I just played on Mac (Mojave, KB+M version) and had a bit of trouble figuring out how to pause the game to change options and see controls. Seems that although both Esc and P are supposed to pause, the game wasn't responding to the escape key.
Hey, sorry I didn't trust you, but...I checked and your game actually does run on Catalina! People just need to download and launch the game via the Itch app, instead of the website. This is true for many games right now. For some reason, Catalina doesn't seem to be able to unzip certain files properly.
This game is cute! I like everything about it (and I really like the name of the pigeon)!
NOTE: If you have a Mac running Catalina, the game unfortunately won’t work - this is an issue with Catalina being very restrictive on what apps it will allow to be played on your computer.
I thought that was a matter of Catalina not supporting 32-bit code. Does this game use 64-bit binaries? AFAIK that’s the only barrier new to Catalina (though quite a bothersome one).
I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what the issue is, the game uses 64-bit, but I don’t have a Mac with Catalina to test and I’ve had some people not be able to run it at all and some people be able to run it fine so my guess is it’s a permissions thing on the user side.
Ah. I’d offer to help test, but I haven’t upgraded to Catalina for exactly this reason (I’m still on the previous release, Mojave).
I found that you can open terminal and run
and then just run the game normally

I think this game would be cool, but I need subtitles because of my hearing. Let me know if there is an update.
Hello! I have uploaded a new version of the game with subtitles - I hope it helps!
what a sweet game!! i really enjoyed playing it :-]
I've tried a few times to run the Mac version, but I just get 'This app can't be opened', which probably indicates some permission problems, or a corrupted zip archive. I've tried unzipping it with tools other than the standard OSX archiver, but it still doesn't work.
Hello! Are you running Catalina on your Mac? If so, that’s because Catalina has very strict permissions for unverified apps. There’s a workaround here, although I can’t verify if it actually works because I don’t have a Mac. If you’re running an older OS than Catalina, can you let me know what you’re running and what specifically the error message says and I can try to troubleshoot?
Nope, this was on Mojave. Also that was the exact (and very unhelpful) error message 'This app can't be opened'. I don't believe this is the usual key signing error you get for unverified apps, because that has a 'because the developer couldn't be identified' on the end of the error. This error, which I've had before from itch games, usually means something needs to be set executable, but isn't
Interesting. I've done a bit of research on this and the only thing that keeps coming up is something telling me to run chmod to set it as an executable but I can't do that on a PC. I'll rope in a friend who has a Mac and see if I can figure out the problem from there!
Got it. You need chmod u+x on Homing1.1_Mac_KBM.app/Contents/MacOS/Homing
Then it runs. The app bundle itself is already executable, but I that file needs to be as well
Thank you! I think this is unfortunately something I can't fix in the build, not sure why building to Mac from a PC in Unity is so touchy but alas.
I miss some subtitles (english is not my first language), but i find it's a very touching experience.
Thanks. :)
