Provides info of every official TS&FS; singleplayer map to the client so all missions will be listed out in the campaign selection menu for players to start any of them directly from the client. Only compatible with the Tiberian Sun Client but not the original TS/FS.
Usage:
- Make sure you have the Tiberian Sun Client.
- Download and extract this archive to the game's directory. Replace "battle.ini" in the "INI" folder.
- Alternatively, backup the original "battle.ini" file in advance, in case you might want to revert the campaign menu back later.
- Now you can start any mission directly from the campaign selection menu. Enjoy.
Notable differences compared to E1 Elite's version:
- Names of the missions are based on TS Client version 6.05k.
- The list is ordered chronologically within each campaign. Side missions in TS campaigns are indicated in the description, with additional notes added for a few missions to resolve confusions about the timeline (e.g. GDI 9C and NOD 6A).
- Only battle.ini edited but the .map files not touched. Personally I think showing the map screen and offering to continue to the next mission directly is more preferable than quiting to the client.
Please note that if in any campaign the intro movies are not played at the beginning of each mission from mission #2 onwards, this is an intended behaviour as back in original TS&FS, they are designed to be played after the score screen of the previous mission. To modify this behaviour, edit .map files in Maps->Missions.
Let me end this post with TS timelines in terms of the missions (sequence numbers refer to those in TS Client 6.05k; slash indicates alternative routes, parentheses suggest skippable side missions, braces enclose a series of missions):
- GDI: 1 -> 2 -> (3B) -> 3A -> 4 -> (5A) -> 5B / 5C -> (6A) -> 6B -> 7 -> 8 -> (9A / {9A -> 9B} / {9A -> 9B -> 9C} / 9B) -> 9D -> 10A / 10B -> 11 -> 12
- Nod: 1 -> 2 -> (3B) -> 3A -> (4B) -> 4A -> 5 -> 6B / 6C -> 6A -> (7B) -> 7A -> 8 -> 9A / 9B -> 10 -> 11 -> (12B) -> 12A
