...A complete functionally identical clone of the Test_Cinematic script used to run cinematic text scripts. (with any luck it will be functionally identical, as with cloning anything this complex one can never be 100% sure without a lot of testing)

There are other big features but I cant talk about those yet Smile

Yes, I am talking about the Test_Cinematic script used for the c&c_c130drop.txt file and other such files.

this is going to be cool, so im guessing that you say in a text file that you want lets say a light tank to move from a to b and then blow up it would?

can you also take control of the camera of the client?
EDIT: O, I see you cant

(and how would I make a A-10 strike?)

If you play level 2 (detention center), you will get to a point where an a10 strikes a few light tanks. this too is a cinematic textfile, but i dont know the name. I guess it's a matter of copy pasting the ingredients and mix it up in your custom cinematic txt cocktail.

edit: typo..

So what's the advantage of using cloned scripts as opposed to original?

The purposes of cloning this script are as follows:
1.Improve my reverse engineering skills
2.Improve knowledge of the engine (in the process of reverse engineering this script, I discovered that my definition of Get_Sync_Time was wrong for example)
3.Provide something for other people to learn from
4.Discover how the script works (the details I posted in the other post are more accurate than any previously existing tutorial on how to write cinematic text scripts)
and 5.Provide a base to build upon. With this new script (or one based on it), changes could be made to make more things possible through cinematic text scripts.

Nice one John, being restricted to finding different ways of triggering test_cinemtic is limiting.. with the source of of your clone allot more will be possible. Two thumbs up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

This sadly is not so awesome. If you want to do something useful, create a new, better one.

Now that I have a working clone, I intend to expand it so that it can do more than the westwood version can. Exactly what I could add that would be usefull to modders I dont yet know.
