Actually seen as content is form BA, just pulling in their gamedata/resources.lua and gamedata/explosions/* should be sufficient.

Thats just it ... I have copied those ? So it must be something else

Did you remove the 'sfx/explosiongenerators' data from the unitdefs?

Yeah, there's no sfx table there, and ergo no explosionGenerators subtable

Well with the bertha problem solved and my 3th tutorial written I believe I'm done with the development and are ready to release a version for testing.

The final name of the gametype is Alpha Domination. Chosen because Picasso really insisted I put an A in front of the name and since Alpha means the first, and the game is won by the first who dominated the field for 500 points it seems a fitting name.

I've created an account alphadomination that will be a spads bot to host 5 vs 5 games for now. The real goal is for more but for that I need a map specially designed for the gametype and believe me I'm no map making kinda guy.

I'll make a little basic html page to download the mod and playable map.

Now I have to warn you I don't believe there is any balance yet, fights are way to short to my liking and I haven't tested more then one on one, I have no idea what 5 vs 5 will bring. I also need to test and make sure that for any one game atm there can't be more then 2 alliance teams or the mgametype won't work. Next I need to figure out if all players leave the map , the game doesn't stop but the gamecounters just freeze. No idea how to do that yet.

Anyhow look for a server and webpage , in a post soon to come !
