Tiberian Sun: Best of Beta


The basic idea for this mod is to get as close to how Tiberian sun was in the beta as possible.
This will (hopefully)include replacing the existing voxel graphics with the “new” Beta Graphics, the beta buildings such as the dropship bay or adv radar, adding in cut units and more...

What has been done


civ recolor’s


Nod light tower


Nod bike


Buildings and waypoint icon


Adv radar/ correct facing reaper icon

And much more.. (in game coming soon)

Note all graphics so far are made by me (or Westwood)

Dropship Loadout: Designed to allow the player (GDI) to select what units he will start with, aswell as having defualt setups the player could just choose depending on a preset battle. Once the game starts, the units would be delivered to the starting waypoint assigned to that player, varying from 1 to 3 Dropships depending on the cargo.

This never mad the final cut because of balance issues aswell as designer flaws.

Dropship Bay/Starport: Acted as a reinforcement bay for the player (GDI) that would call in a Dropship with the set reinforcements or a random set of reinforcements depending on the current tech level of the player. This had a few incarnations as a Superweapon and a static logic structure that would run on a fixed timer, also Drop Pods where considered for a option where the user could call in the Drop Pods for emergency reinforcements, but this would also cut a little time off the main Dropship Timer.

As most know this was cut due to balance issues and the second incarnation was not completed for release.

Also, i read somewhere a long time ago, that there was gonna be a option for GDI Light Infantry to call in Drop Pods when they hit the elite status, this was planned for Firestorm me'thinks...

And on the topic of beta stuff, how many people remember the old videos from E3 that showed the different main menu and the map editor (quite sh*t actualy, textured RA editor basically) they planned to release the game with?
