AutoLAT in Final Sun ( Solved )
Subject description: AutoLAT not working with some tile sets
I can place crystals and swamp tiles, but AutoLAT not applying to them. AutoLat not working even with ice tiles. Everything else like water, grass, sand, rough is working fine.
I have concerns about some files i've copied, specifically files from folder add to tiberiansun_online folder ( ecache15.mix, ecache16.mix, temperat.ini ) which i've copied into game folder where EXE file is and into \SUN\MIX folder cause i've found similar files there. And i don't have tiberiansun_online folder.
EDIT: Ok, i see now how AutoLAT for crystals works, i can see its result only in game, but still can't figure out what is wrong with ice tiles.

Limitations of FinalSun. Ice tiles variations has to be provided by the mapper. Game does the LAT for the crystal and blue molds.
It looks like those additional files have city tiles of TX which can be added to the CnCNet version of the client. You need not add it if you don't want it for mapping. If you make maps with TX, then people using that map also need those TX files. There is also another version of TSClient posted here. QUICK_EDIT

Thank you for clearing this out.
Someone told me that ice will not work properly in a game, so i need manually copy ice tiles from official maps. It sounds even worse. Feeling bad for starting snow map. QUICK_EDIT
Ice growth problem can now be fixed. There is no need to copy tiles from any map. FinalSun does not have the feature to view or apply ice growth but it retains the cells marked for ice growth.
Starkku's MapTool can now mark the cells where ice needs to grow. It should be done on the cells where ice is present and should regrow when damaged and also on water where ice is supposed to grow. The mechanism provided in the MapTool is to select a 1x1 building that won't be used on the map and change the profile named misc_fixicegrowth.ini and replace TSTLAMP with the building ID you will be using to mark the cells for ice growth. Then in FinalSun, place that 1x1 selected building on the cells wherever you want ice to grow and later apply that MapTool profile for that map. After the cells are marked for ice growth, those 1x1 building that were placed can be removed.
By using the updated zzattack's CnC Map Renderer, the cells marked with ice growth can be seen in the preview window or the output image of the map. You can also check out the vanilla maps for example to see which cells are marked for ice growth with this tool now. QUICK_EDIT

Thank You Very Much! Ill Give It A Try.
UPDATE: It worked! I didn't know that you should place at least 1 tile of ice to make it grow but i figured it out. QUICK_EDIT
