Tiberium Dawn Structures Options

[CommanderSpartan]

These are some structures I converted and adjusted by hand from TD.
Thanks to LKO for the tut on how to get TD shps in TS.

If theres any bugs, please tell me so that I can try and fix it.

The conversion looks good.
But you should remove unnecessary things
a ) remove (paint them black) the non-animated parts in the animations (so the files become much smaller)
b ) since there is no difference between the arctic and temperate version, you should remove one set and rename the other so they don't use the prefix ca/ct (this way you can half the size of the mix)

Also the cameos from TDsvga would have been a nice addition to make it complete.
And you should add an art/rules example code. Especially finding out the animations settings in art.ini are an annoying job.

and another thing...

Tiberium Dawn

It is Tiberian Dawn.

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

I never saw the difference between Tiberium and Tiberian, since they aren't singular and plural, german and english or noun and adjective.

Tiberian Dawn
Tiberian Sun
Tiberian Fiend
"Tiberian Lifeform"?

afaik it is if something has something to do with Tiberium it's called Tiberian and if it is Tiberium itself it's called Tiberium...

But it is confusing at times, sometimes that say "Tiberium Lifeform" and "Tiberium Harvester" but I don't remember if they say it in Westwood/EA Pacific/LA. But if they said it in a Westwood Las Vegas game I'm wrong...

Tiberium is the mineral, plant, infestation stuff.

"Tiberian" is having relation to Tiberium, like America is to American, Mexico is to Mexican, and Korea to Korean.

Tiberian is an adjective whereas tiberium is a noun. Tiberium are the crystals and the lifeforms. "Tiberian" is used to describe something with tiberium lifeforms involved.

Tiberian Dawn (adjective and noun)
Tiberian Sun (adjective and noun)
Tiberium lifeform (both are nouns)

See the difference?

I never saw the difference between Tiberium and Tiberian, since they aren't singular and plural, german and english or noun and adjective.

It's the same difference as the one between "England" and "English". One is the country, the other refers to something from that country.

The difference between "Tiberian Dawn" and "Tiberium dawn" is the same as the difference between "The English queen" and "The England queen". The second is obviously wrong.

"Tiberium dawn" simply isn't correct. It should either be "Tiberium's dawn" or "the dawn of tiberium".

What people seem to miss is that the important word in the expression is different. To explain this, I'm going to kick out all poetic language and replace "Tiberian Dawn" by what it means, which is "Tiberian Origin". This statement is about the tiberium, and the second word tells us that it's about its origin.
However, in "Tiberium Wars", it's about the wars, where the extra information is that they're wars which have something to do with Tiberium.
The difference is that Tiberium Wars would still be wars without specifying that they're about tiberium. On the other hand, "tiberian" and "origin" have no clear meaning without eachother.

"Tiberian Dawn" is the origin/beginning OF the Tiberium.
"Tiberium Wars" are the wars ABOUT Tiberium.

(Tiberian Sun, after a similar kicking out of poetic language, is about the rise of Tiberium)

Guys, this is about CommanderSpartan's TD Buildings. At least LKO responded in the beggining.

Nice job (I don't like doing the same thing for a long time. Like recolouring SHPS) Unless there buildings cus there are only 6 frames most of the time.
And yes Tiberium is the mineral, and Tiberian is like the lifeforms.

An Example
American is an adjective, that desribes an inhabitant of America.
Tiberian is an adjective, that desribes anything related to Tiberium, like Fiends, Floaters, and the Forgotten were mutated.

EDIT:I can't post in my own topics and what about you guys bumping about me bumping? I need to find some topics from 2010

Look at the post date, you've made multiple multi-year bumps in the last few days

If I were mod, I'd give a warning.
