    Currently Listening To?

    You could have told us that without all the smilies. :| Lately, I've been on a Metallica binge. All their albums I have every day for the last two weeks. I listened to Megadeth a couple times but then I played S&M right after that. I've really gotten into Garage Inc too. Meh, I'll listen to them some more.
  2. XCC Mix Editor. Never edit the existing mix files. Make a new one for your files.

    Theories

    Renegade fits but it's one of the things you never see noted in the initial game. I thought Renegade was well done given the terrible engine.
  4. Making a difficult AI with EA's coding is hard to do. You'll spend hours writing the code and many times that amount debugging it. Believe me, I've been coding the AI for my 2 mods for 3 months and I'm barely 40% done.
  5. Yeah, fine for you but I like to make it easy to remove mod files.

    Errors

    That means the SQL server is having a hard time keeping up with the connections.

    Favorite Web Browser

    I find Firefox to be slow loading some sites but I can handle that. It's nice not building up spyware and adware or seeing popups around every corner. CTRL+J does not bring up a Download Manager. It opens the Page Info box and you can download files FROM that but it doesn't manage downloads.

    Choronosphere Chaos!!!!!

    I never got it to appear very often. Then again, I didn't use it that often.

    Theories

    Slight misconception there. RA1 is actually set in the 1960s rather than the 1940s. The next part of the series depends on who wins. The Allies win RA1, you move to RA2 with Romanov and finally Yuri. Nod never forms. The Soviets win, Kane and Brotherhood begin forming and eventually wage war in the 1990s. Thus Tiberian Dawn is born. Then Tiberian Sun. Renegade is a stand alone game; it doesn't fit in with the rest of storyline but would fall during the time of Tiberian Dawn. Generals is just, well, Generals. It has no links to any of the other C&Cs that I can find. It's meant to be set in the present time.
  11. Don't do that. It clutters your game directory.

    The Signs of Apocalypse

    There are theories. But no one knows... It's one of life's great mysteries. No one can explain it.
  14. Now I get it. The game looks for these when dealing with voxeled vehicles: body.vxl, body.hva <-- The main part of the unit and sometimes the whole unit. bodytur.vxl, bodytur.hva <-- The turret for the voxel. Needed only if you have a turret. bodybarl.vxl, bodybarl.hva <-- The barrels for the turret. Only needed if turreted and have separate barrels. The HVA files are a MUST. They control how the voxel should animate. 99% of the game's voxel files use the same type. There are special cases where animated HVAs are necessary like in the case of the Allied Nighthawk Transport or Yuri's Gattling Tank. Even mech units such as Titans from Tiberian Sun have special HVA animations. Now, for your purposes, the HVA that you're making the units out of will suffice. Let's take the Sentry Gun turret and Tesla Tank base. Get the XCC Mixer and find the voxels mix for RA2. I believe it's local.mix. Extract the sentry gun turret (lasr.vxl, lasr.hva) and the Tesls Tank base (ttnk.vxl, ttnk. hva). Rename them so that they resemble the name of your new unit. For all intents and purposes, we'll call it SGUN. After you have the needed voxel files (sgun.vxl, sgun.hva, sguntur.vxl, sguntur.hva) create a rules and art entry. Here's where people go awry. Make certain your [ARTID] matches exactly the same letters you made for your unit. In our case. the [ARTID] would be [sGUN] to match the voxel body's file name. Sample art entry: [sGUN] Cameo=SGUNICON AltCameo=SGUNUICO Voxel=yes PrimaryFileFLH=xxx,xxx,xxx The rest is up to you. If you have any problems, feel free to ask.

    Firewall Settings

    Yeah, probably. I had my firewall and connected to battle.net without any loss in speed. More proof that anything run by EA sucks ass.

    Afrog is again busy

    Which I doubt he did. Someone notify the phpBB staff.

    RA2 quality. Nice.

    Firewall Settings

    Trust me on this. I had the WOL ports open and I had max ping in every game.

    Choronosphere Chaos!!!!!

    It was better used on Cruisers.

    The Antin00b Brigade cares. I need to open that back up again.

    Firewall Settings

    Even if you do open the ports, WOL lags to a crawl with firewalls on.

    XWIS - Ra2 Server & Yuris Revenge Servers

    Yes. No. It's fine but you have to be when others are on. It's not full of cheaters/hackers so there's far fewer.

    I'd be on that site if I understoond the language.
