Using OpenTS

Developer-build setup, local data, configuration, and save-game behavior.

Getting started

Project status, local builds, and required game data.

Command line optionsOptions accepted on the OpenTS command line.

Build and runBuilds the 32-bit Debug or Release executable and copies it into the local Run directory.

Game dataA local developer build reads legitimately owned Tiberian Sun data from the repository's Run directory.

Project statusOpenTS provides playable releases; campaigns, skirmish, saving, and LAN play are functional.

Player and mod configuration files and where they are documented.

Configuration filesOpenTS reads player options, hotkeys, rules, art, media registries, and scenario data from separate files.

How builds, game data, and saved games behave across versions.

Compatibility and save gamesHow OpenTS lists and loads save games, and which save games a build accepts.

Supported checks for developer-build and local-data failures.

Debug logs and consoleEvery run writes a timestamped log beside the executable, and the debug console can be opened to watch that output live.

Developer-build troubleshootingChecks the supported toolchain, target architecture, output location, and local game-data tree.
