Me? Well I'm ErastusMercy, the lead voxel artist on the popular Tiberian Sun mod, Twisted Insurrection. If you don't know what a voxel is then I'll put it this way, I make the vehicles. :P In addition to my roles on TI, I've also done Infantry cameo's (The unit portrait you see when purchasing/selecting a particular unit.) for the C&C3 mods Tiberium Wars Advanced and The Forgotten Mod.

So is your editor crashing on start up? If so try going into your map editor folder and deleting a file called FinalTI.ini. When you boot the editor again it'll need you to find the pathway to the game.exe in your main directory. Once set up that should hopefully that'll fix your issue.

Unfortunately there's a hard limit on how many super weapons you can have in the TS engine and TI's currently using them all right now.
It's possible to clone the EMP Cannon as was done with the Quake Generator but that has its own limitations.

As for using the weed system to charge the Apoc missile, since it's their sole super weapon that'd put Nod at a substantial disadvantage on any map without veinholes.

They'll always land when idle. You can give them infante ammo so they don't need to rearm (as many TI aircraft already have) but when their task is complete they'll return to the pad.

All you have to do is go into the client's settings menu and check individual missions. That'll enable them for you.

That EIP is outside of the game's code range. Could you post the Stack Dump found in your except.txt?

Do you happen to be playing with smaller vehicle graphics enabled? If so it's an issue with the Nod Stinger. We've recently fixed the problem, so it'll be part of the next update.

You can also find the crash logs in Twisted Insurrection > Client > GameCrashLogs. Then find an EXCEPT.TXT that matches the time of your crash.

Compulsions has had freezing issues for some time. If we're unable to resolve the issue we may have to remake it from scratch.

Do you get an error message before it closes? This may or may not help but you could try going into your Map Editor directory and deleting/moving the FinalTI.ini file. Once you boot it up again the editor will want you to specify the game.exe in your main TI directory. After that click okay a few times and the editor should open. If the issue persists you may want to try a fresh install of the editor.

Was this issue encountered on GDI mission 6 or 7 (The one where you have to recover the Phalanx Railgun) and did you have Smaller Vehicles enabled at the time?

What if you tried putting some of the Corruptor's back plating over the front of the abdomen? Or maybe incorporate some of the texture from the gun walker there.

Certain anti-virus programs have been known to falsely flag the mod as malware from time to time. You should be able to go into your settings and make an exception.

Have you considered making the the dome or the torso and lower legs black?

Funnily enough the TT Nod Engineer actually looks pretty similar to the TS Cyborg Commando, just with goofy feet and that jetpack with extra arms on.

Capturing the GDI base is completely optional, the mission can be done without it but you'll have a much easier time if you do. If you're interested in taking the base it's best to do that first before the entire base is sold off.

As PolishedPole mentioned, the fastest way into the base it to go East. Cross the bridge, you can easily skirt around the Nod soldiers there, don't try to pass the UN blockade. Follow the North East road a little till you see a gap between the low cliffs to the right of the road (if you see the settlement or the other blockade you've gone too far). Go off-road there should be one or two Nod soldiers, deal with them then traverse the low cliffs just south of the fight. If done right it should loop you around the UN blockade and take you out between the base's Weapons Factory and RADAR. Then you'll get control of the base which will allow you to train more infantry, making the mission a lot easier. Unless you attacked the UN forces that is.
