edit* with all speedmetal versions it craches from speed donut till super speed metal

Does it crash on other maps?

Hello all, I am wondering if i can make a custom installer so that for my Game Design Assignment, the installer will just install my mod, and a bunch of maps, and not ask the teacher to download anything else. My mod has some TA Dependices, so they would have to be included as well. Or can i just c...

Here's an explanation of the mod structure: - Anims folder: This contains cursor animations. (Required if you do not include the TA base files in your mod) - Bitmaps: This folder contains pictures for use in CEGs and other stuff, although mostly not in .BMP format, despite what you may think. (Optio...

lets summarize. (I like to do that) Major issues: - Map scales not appropriate for the engine (engine alteration required) - spherical hitboxes (engine alteration required) - movement behavior inappropriate for Naval units (engine alteration required) - no different scales of simulation (engine alt...

Nice, but you may want to darken the texture a bit. It just looks really strange now, like it came out of some game like Tribes. Hard to explain.

[EDIT]Washed out it is. Thanks to whoever said that.

Ever taken a look at the War on Sea mod for the original Total Annihilation? It seems just what you're looking for.

how to explain this.. there is no skill in building a big arty tower at the front of your expansion and watching it kill shit. there is no need for tactical thinking and micromanagement when all your units can shoot a hell load of distance. you might notice how noobs love artillery. this is because...

I think there are conflicts, because your installer version of a map/mod is different from the version the host is using. What dazzles me is why the lobby does not notify you have a version different from the server.

Another reason could be that your graphics card is causing issues.

Why not keep the reload tag, and add a new "stockpilereloadtime" tag or something. That would not break compatability, but you could still control the reload time in between stockpiled shots. Of course, it would be somewhat confusing, but I think this is the best solution to maintain backw...

Vista 32 has sucky openGL support, ok, thanks. My friend MrStone can't even get spring to start up on his 8600gt, be happy yours works at all. This cryptic rant contains the following message: "The Nvidia drivers for Vista does not support OpenGL properly. You can fix this by either hoping new...

Indeed, I'm aware that I could reduce poly count by doing that. I did that on purpose, so the model looks better without texture.

Here's a model I made today: http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/7638/turretreworkedmk2yv3.th.png Of course there are some flaws in this model. The honeycomb style missile holder could easily be made with some texturing instead of modelling. But I am still happy with it, as it is much better than my ...

i m sick of dling maps manually so i tried to install CaUpdater. but when i m trying to start the install application i m getting a windowserror telling me the application could not be run cuz its configurations are not correct. Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 is installed and works fine...som...

Go play Darwinia now.

There is powerful artillery in NOTA. We are talking about most other RTS games.

I have this problem.... when I hold shift down, then I move my mouse onto the build menu while a unit is selected, everything disappears...basically what you can't see in the screenshot above :lol: That also includes the water texture, I don't know why its just suddenly started happening, also afte...

the reason artillery is weak in games is because combat that just consists of shit firing into the air and then all the enemies dying is boring as. short range units should always be the mainstay because if they are not they have no purpose I disagree with that. Artillery should be strong, but it i...

The closest you will get to OTA is either BOTA or XTA or Hardcore Annihilation.
You can download XTA here, BOTA here, and HA here.

Say guys, I am planning to make a better tutorial for NOTA than the one I uploaded to SpringReplays. What should be the most important things I should cover in the tutorial? I have some basic ideas here: - Kbot = infantry idea (they are inferior to tanks, but cheaper. Not sure about ARM) - Economy d...

No idea what Arachnomod and Universal Ascendancy are, try looking around the website hosting spring mods, like spring.jobjol.nl . SWTA is still in development, and will probably not be released soon. S44 is in Alpha testing, and an alpha version has been released. They may still be far away from a &...
