Reinforce Phoenix Base

I was bored so I did a quick a dirty port of the first GDI mission to rewire. I had to replace most of the text triggers and such and the win condition doesn't seem to fire, but you can get to the point where you can play the mission. Still needs a fair bit of work but I thought I'd post it anyway in case anyone else wants to play about with it some more.

I'll test this out at some point. I'm excited to see it. Gangster told me how to get FA2 to recognize the pallettes, I've just got to go in and change around some mix files. Awesome work though Blade.

I was thinking, it would be quite nice if the Demo missions for TS could be converted over as the de facto Rewire preview/test campaign Smile

Probably quite a bit of work though?

Strange, I have installed RA2/YR plus rewire + Ares

But when I load this mission, the screen goes black and it says

'Establishing Battlefield control, standby'

and then I get
Fatal Error!

and the game crashes

Probably something I have done wrong if others can play it ok... Sad

Which are the demo missions? I might take a look at them when I get chance.

The dropships don't drop anything for me, they just land and then fly off again. I haven't looked yet, but I'm guessing the unit names in the taskforce are different in RW than TS or the way the game handles taskforces with a transport has changed in YR.

Demo mission 1 'Initiation'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LmU9g0Dis0&feature=player_detailpage#t=20s
Demo mission 2 'Clean Sweep'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVa2rVE-UUA&feature=player_detailpage#t=18s

Interestingly the first mission was shown in a preview vid for TS before release. Yet the demo missions were not released until quite a few months after TS release and of course neither were included in the full game.

Here is the download

Edit: The person playing the demo missions in the video, has tried to complete them as quick as possible, not exploring half the map or triggering half the events explaining Tiberium lifeforms and such.

Didn't realise you can turn light posts on / off like this. Doesn't work with the AlphaImage, but buildings with LightVisibility, LightIntensity, LightRedTint, etc can be turned on / off. Guess you learn something new every day.

Yeah, it's done in at least one mission in Firestorm, on Factory Recall. The green and red light posts in the Cyborg production plant go on and off depending on the production stage.

Yea they are quite trigger happy maps, I guess to show off TS (shame more of this type of stuff wasn't used in the final game)

A few things I noticed was, the ability to enter friendly Civilian units and the way the lightposts switch off in the Nod base when they are in low power.
Simple but effective

Edit: The only problem with having the original demo missions as the preview for TS Rewire is that it won't show off all the new features of rewire.

Yea I was thinking that when I suggested it.

Maybe a 3rd mission or a Nod mission(s) could be made with the main purpose of showing off a ton of Rewire additions?

Although I can suggest this, I don't know who would make these?

Okay, here is a screen shot of the mission starting up. There are some tiles that haven't been made for RW yet so they are off pallet.

Ooooh, this mod really looks fantastic. Are those god rays in the latest release? I remember saying I'd make some maps for this and I might definately have a go, if just converting some existing ones.

The lighting makes my eye twitch, but otherwise looks encouraging

Excellent work, Though it never made scene why this outpost is so important in the campaign.
