Vinifera

Game: Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun → (Windows, 1999)

Vinifera: a community-made, open-source (GPL-3.0) engine extension for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, with new features and bug fixes aimed at mod makers. A launcher of its own, LaunchVinifera.exe, starts the game with the DLL that SyringeEx injects into GAME.EXE; it only supports version 2.03 in US English, because of technical limitations in patching the binary. It integrates with the TS Client, which has a “Vinifera Beta” channel, and its documentation is at vinifera.readthedocs.io. Version 1.0.0.0 (August 22, 2026) added, among other things, voxel light customization, an option to disable Tiberium storage, custom superweapon descriptions in the sidebar, integer variables and new trigger actions and events, multiplayer beacons, chat improvements, unit promotions with sound and an EVA announcement, and customizable wakes, and it replaced DirectDraw with SDL; 1.0.0.1 (August 23) fixes loading saved games from the client. Nightly builds of the develop branch are available. 5 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
