Tiberian Sun: UMP (Version 0.2 Released!)

Tiberian Sun: UMP

This is the thread for my Tiberian Sun: Unofficial Mini-Patch. The Tiberian Sun: UMP is like a base for new mods, it fixes all known (fixable) bugs in Tiberian Sun. I feel it's clearly obvious for those with Tiberian Sun knowledge that when it comes to modding off of the UMP, you are to edit rules.ini and art.ini, you are not to edit firestrm.ini and artfs.ini, leave those blank as they are in the UMP.

Removed Cyborg Reaper Death Animation due-to multiple kill point bug

What's this?

Congrats to all involved for releasing something new and useful!

[Aro]

If you attack a unit during it's death animation the game will read that attack as killing the unit over and over again until the animation stops. Every time a unit is shot during it's Death animation, veterancy points are given to whatever unit is firing upon it causing instant veteracy for rapid fire units and undeserved points rewarded to any unit firing upon the death animation.

[DCoder]

LOL, I see. Awesome WW coding, as usual.

Edit: Can't you fix that with Next= on the death anim?

[Aro]

Impossible unfortunately. There are a couple of work-arounds I've thought of like creating a new explosion using the frames from the Death Animation but that would be problematic for Remap color, so I find it best just to remove the two tags (DeathFrames= and DeathFrameRate=) completely since the Death Animation is bugged altogether, sometimes the Cyborg Reaper would get up and walk for a while after it had died then randomly blow up.
