...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

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

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.

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..

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.
