A: Always update your video card drivers and verison of DX before complaining about a graphical problem of any type that mentions openGL or direct X.

B: If that doesn't work we really can't help you much without knowing at least your video card.

C: There is an option to turn down shadow map size. If all else fails try tweaking that.

Hmm - well, maybe that one can be used for a different kind of missile tower - like absolute annihilation's Screamer (long-ranged missile tower).

That's the one I added. I think it is a very nice unit, it seems to require a "cool down" period after firing a burst, which is interesting tactically.

For wind I used a Mynn wind mill with two of the blades knocked off.

I added the load screens to the version-in-progress. Look for a release later today... It is legal or very close, (maybe a few questionable sounds and textures) and there are few bugs.

Textures are alright afaik, looking forward to the release.
But don't rush yourself, I don't think many people would play it atm with 2006 around the corner.

Version .5 is ready for release. New, beautiful cursors, exploding commanders, dguns, and balance by formula.

I also strongly suspect the mod is legal. I am not 100% sure, so I am not yet saying it is gpl.

As soon as FileUniverse is back up, I will post it.

It will be real nice to have a GPL mod, then we can invite friends to play Spring who don't have TA :-)
"balance by formula" - will be interesting to see how well it works.

It'd have built mroe but it had no antistall code and each factory had 10 ro more idle cons sitting there doing nothing.

It is playable and fun. It would be nice if we could have constructive feed back so that we can make it better. It would also be nice if the community could start posting cool new sounds, models, ideas, and units. This mod will be great.
