Need Help for Install

Post by Traceless »

Hello,

my Name is THomas, i'm from Germany. I'm a great Fan from Surpreme Commander but my system is to bad to play it with more than 10 FPS. Thats not very funny :(. But i love the idea from this big Armys, Bases and a realistic big fight.

But now my Problem:

What must i do to install this game?

I download the Regular installer, but i cant start it.

Then i download the SpringSP 0.9 install it to, but it don't works.

ANd i think 12 MB is al little bit small for such a big game.

Please Help, what i must do for playing this Mod against Ki?

I also want to play the TA:World DOmination Mo, because for me realistic Weapons are cooler then Science. How can i install this mod?

Please help :(

If you can't start the installer, you're in trouble. If you mean that you can't start spring after running the installer, then your problem is that you deselected all the mods and maps, leaving you with the Spring engine but no games to play.

Ah yes thats the problem, it deselectet the Mods. lol^^

Ok now i have played a little bit and i have a few new questions.^^

My Pc:

AMD 64 300GHZ
Geforce 6600Gt
2Gb Ram

First i played Surpreme Commander but i have extreme performance Problems, when i have more than 100 Units.

I played Springs TA and it look really bether than SC on low graphic details. Get i performance problems too, when i play longer and get huge Armys?

Is the Terrain destroyable? (see in some Movies)

And a last Question to the Units, Are the Team going to make bether Versions? When i look for example on the bomber, on the TOp Side there ah very detailed Textures, but the Wings are very bad textured. And the SHip maybe the big Battleship it looks... crazy, that fat Ship^^ Maybe it looks bether if the SHip is larger and an the Front and the Back are the Big Cannons.

How is the Ki? I would play online, and on the first side there so is much things to change, i dont know what to use.

Edit: Is there away to see the control rings from every radar or Sonar on the Map? And to see this for every enemy radar or SOnar which i detektet?

Ki is AI from what you're saying, and yes there are tons of AIs out there. RAI is the most compatible AI, and AAI is supposedly a learning AI.

As far as units are concerned, you may have a lower video card then Supreme Commander expects. Supreme Commander is another one of those: You need a dual core, 2gb ram, and an 8800GTS.

Frankly, you shouldn't have trouble running Spring on those specs, since I could run it full settings on my 6800GT, before it fried of course.

As far as Models are concerned, every "content package" has it's own models, and a few of them don't use content from Total Annihilation.

Deformable terrain is completely possible in spring, but maps vary on their deforming multiplier. Maps with higher hardness will not deform as easy, and on maps like Castles, the castles don't deform, but the ground can.

You only see those radar/sonar rings if you select the radar or sonar, and no, it won't distinguish enemy units from enemy radar/sonar. And you can see the enemy radar/sonar limits by hovering your cursor over them.
