    Custom Mission Map

    Works the same as in KW.
  2. Yup, broken. Which is why my Scud Storm in my Tower Defense mod uses a recoil with huge speed to hide the rockets (the model shows the rockets as barrel).
  3. Which are all shown on the linked screen and mentioned in my post.
  4. The point is: this totally is not about xml. Also your graphical skills with ps/3ds and other programs like these mean squat as they've nothing to do with the actual problem. That you took computer science in college is the only relevant portion here. Although seemingly as your question shows a lack of understanding of the concept of how an engine like SAGE uses the data it gets it is quite obvious that these were never quite extensive or above the level of idk, programming Snake. As does you presenting your references in html/xml do. Xml here is only used to store the data the game reads in a human readable form, xml in itself does nothing, and exactly that is what "hardcoded" means. Again all the references you state again just show your lack of understanding how this stuff works. To quote wiki: As you obviously didn't know the terminology you could have done just a quick google search on the term hardcoded and you would have gotten this as the first result. If you're unsure if an element is hardcoded you can even use a simple text editor and search for it. Like this: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AuGWwjATR_55hMwyTl9qyv0lnvjWYw This stuff wouldn't be hardcoded if there would be a way to set that via data. The only relevant similarity would be the C4, which is triggered not by a named special power (it was in the first few versions) but the combination of the C4 KindOfs. As this shows the C4 cursors specifically there is no way to abuse that to show a different cursor for a custom sp while still having the C4 stuff intact. Rewriting both the buzzer and this unit to chain another sp to it that does the actual work might even be possible in this case, dunno if the range check works or just cancels it which I think I remember from the Avatar, but even if it does one is still limited to 3 such cursors (combine, charge defenes, and conversion beam).
  5. If you don't know what people talk about please inform yourself. The short answer is no, the long answer is have fun hacking the exe if you want to.
  6. Yeah, sadly all context sensitive stuff is hardcoded.
  7. Yes I did, but that was just a proof of concept done via a hex editor. No nice UI/compiler, yet.
  8. Is the game framelocked at 10 fps or is that just the crappy video?
  9. I guess the file size then changed without updating its entry in the bigs manifest. (No are 2 characters while Yes are 3, which would mess up all files starting at this) As the big file contains the ini file.
  10. I don't get what you mean, the big files are just container files...

    Brexit has made history

    Scotland will now very very likely break away from the UK with a landslide vote...
  12. When I used that years back it worked fine for me. Probably a memory issue.
  13. "the whole internet" I doubt this very much.
  14. You completely missed the point. He wasn't talking about that name, but the misc name of that other folder.

    Programming from scratch vs. mods

    You could have shut up the eco guy easily if you had pointed out that producing a car produces about as much pollution than a regular car would in its lifetime. Thus buying a car for the sake of the planet is counter productive.

    Programming from scratch vs. mods

    Read the terms and other stuff you have to agree to for sourceforge again and then think about putting your stuff there again if you really have this "my freedom has to be protected" idea. The way you write about things really makes it clear you don't have a clue about what's going on in both programming and licencing.
  17. Don't use -bps and it wont patch the stream. Also you don't need to replace anything in the 1.0 folders. Just create a new version file, give the stream that version name, and just don't use bps. The game would know about the old mainifest, but never actually load it.
  18. They fired all but 10 people shortly after the release of TT...
  19. Damn, I have to agree with Plokite again
  20. Also unit and upgrades could either been purchased via money from winning a game or cash.
  21. One of the few times even I agree with Plokite.
  22. If you don't use the windows store just set your region to US and reboot. Cortana will be enabled. Doesn't make much difference though compared to the usual search, yeah you can use speech recognition, but it will also store all your searches and other stuff done through cortana on MS servers with links to your MS account.
  23. That's not even the point. It's about knowing what's involved in creating a piece of software that fulfills certain requirements, and the requirements for creating a basic shooter are a lot easier than for a basic rts.
  24. I am a programmer... not on games per-se but I do know what's involved in making a game.
