EE is back in development, Check page 6

You do that if you have some special attachment to Program Files.

I mean why do end users have spring doing this shit? is the installer setting up spring in program files?

[SpikedHelmet]

I think so. And most other games also auto-install into Program Files so a lot of people are just used to putting everything in there so even progs that don't auto-install to Program Files (re: default install location) are placed in Prog files by them.

Ah, Windows....

I could go on forever with that, but I won't. Anyway, just move it from Program Files. That should let you edit it, if my memory serves correctly.

protip: install xp as alternate os

[Fanger]

Yeah Ill just reinstall the damn thing somewhere else that should let me edit shit again.. Still need a new copy of photoshop unless someone knows a dude who wouldnt mind texturing my units...

Also Im going to fix the aliens which was IFAK the main issue..

[1v0ry_k1ng]

op aliens, up URC, op GDI lasertank airdrop rush, put the NI units you made into the game and semi complete 4th faction :D

[Decimator]

I made this a while back. Might help with balancing aliens.

[Fanger]

could you elaborate on why you think URC is Underpowered..

Also I believe I will have to correct some fo the missile weapons whose flightimes are screwy..

Also just for reference the reason the aliens were/are OP is a calculation issue when I halved everything in transition to epic.. The light combat form does a whole 20 more dps than a GD light battle tank.. the aliens are supposed to be somewhere between GD and URC so the damage scale would be roughly GD>Aliens>URC, instead its Aliens>>GD>URC.. but this is easily correctable..

[Fanger]

Has anyone played any games to teir 3 and checked balance of URC vs GD as far as tech 3 combat units.. because running the numbers seems to put GD as UP as far as battle tanks go..

[Forboding Angel]

Hey! Good to hear that EE is back!

Now I don't feel so alone crying hot blooded man tears when spring doesn't work like I think it should.

Edit: Oh btw, if you see me on the lobby yell at me. I have some stuffage that might help you/make life easier a bit in various ways.

[Fanger]

Cool, will do..

Quicky changelog of what I have done so far..

This should take care of some imbalances..

[MidKnight]

yay ^_^

[1v0ry_k1ng]

why did you make all the units smaller btw? they are too small atm imo

[Fanger]

because they are more correctly scaled, vs things like ships, we can use the same sized maps but have more playing area, gives a slightly better sense of scale IMO..

[1v0ry_k1ng]

ok fair enough with units, but can you scale up buildings again? I dont like the dinky metal extractors

also dont forget teh airdrop nerf

and can you the halffinished NI in :p

[Gota]

The more realistic scale comes at a terrible price though..icon wars..Not only do icons ruin the atmosphere but they also look much worse than seeing a real model.
Icons conceal information and disorientate since you do not know where your unit is facing and how much hp it has.
It is also disorientating watching huge icons that clip with each other.
What is the point of scaling things down if the smaller things look like big icons from gameplay distance anyway(why not just leave then as big models instead)??
There is a matter of unit sizes when they are in big numbers sure,but is EE really THAT spammy so as to make it such a big difference?
Can armies not fit into standard maps?
If it about blocking fire than make units shoot through each other.
Making units fire through each other does not make the mod less micro intensive in terms of maneuvering units.

[j5mello]

The reason all the units were shrunk was to allow things like the T3/T4 ships to be OMGWTF huge and not require a massive map to be used on...

[smoth]

we have been through this before yan and heard your position on the matter, I remember the answer clearly was fuck off. I would like to extend that to go fuck yourself.

[Pxtl]

EE has gone back and forth on the "Epic Scale" issue dozens of times. I don't think any new ground is going to be covered.

Question, since I haven't played EE in many moons: do EE canon units get height range bonuses?
