Maek poast! http://www.springinfo.info/wp-login.php

i tried U29 with RAI and wiht KAIK:
RAI made some mexes, wind, solars and an LLT, and then stopped. After i attacked it, it rebuilt some mexes and solars, and then did a T1 KBot lab and started producing units.
KAIK crashes at start, because at least one of the UnitDef's is NULL. this is a problem with the mod (XTA had the same). it means there is an error somewhere in the UnitDef, and since a patch by Kloot some tiem ago, the engine handles this more stricty, and sets the unitDef to NULL internally.
sooo.. yeah if you care, you may fix that.
in infolog, i only see WARNING messages for sounds and "too many unit categories". maybe one of these is the problem... if you need help finding the problem, contact me in the lobby.

Thanks a lot.
I don't play single player versus the AI much.
I have less time these days but i will be back home this weekend and I will fix this.
Hopefully I'm gonna be messing around with effects,models and build pics in the coming days so i will go through fbi's and will try to sort any discrepancies out including this one.
Its important for me AIs work if I'm gonna add single player missions.

Supreme Annihilation U31

Many many changes in models and visual effects.
http://www.springfiles.com/edit_file.php?id=1677

am sorry to only be able to say something negative, but there is still at least one NULL unitDef.
too tired to try more right now.

Everyone is making roadmaps so i might as well.

Supreme Annihilation U34
A new version!

This is mostly a big visual update but some changes to gameplay were also made.

Changelog:
Many unit models were replaced,many textures patched up.
New buildpics added for the new models.
New visual effects for almost every unit in the game.
Added and slightly modified a lups version to SA(made plane jet smaller and changed the cloaking effect slightly so it looks a bit less cartoonish).
Added true dynamic music with fading.
Now players can create springfolder/music/war
and springfolder/music/peace folders and put songs in them.
This will override SA's OTA soundtrack automatically(in game sound and music volume changing is supported).



Important notes for Ba players:

*SA units and turrets shoot through one another
(If your llt is standing in the middle of a base it will be able to shoot any enemy unit that enters it's weapon range even if some of your buildings are in between).
*LLTs in SA are heavy and expensive and can be roughly compared to the BA beamer and hllt(a lighter version laser turret is the core armed mex).
*SA solars cost energy(important to know in order to not stall energy at the beginning).
*Gunships deal full dmg to the commanders(as oppose to BA where they deal low damage).
*There are land and sea nanos nanos.
*There are sea shields,bertha ships and amphibious ships in SA.
*The commander does not leave a wreckage.
*Missile towers,hover AA,T1 kbot and vehicle AA all shoot at air AND ground units.
*Mine-layers are in the T1 kbot labs.
*The arm warrior is a 1.5T unit with 2 weapons.
*T2 assist bots are stealthy.
*T2 vehicle assist units cannot build a thing but are very effective at repairing and have a long repair range.
*Sonar is more expensive.
*Plasma turrets are stronger.
*DD and the Annihilator cost more and are heavier than their BA equivalents.
*A good start would be mex solar solar mex.

Great work Basic :)

good basic, i like your raven rockets

Had to release a quick patched version since there were sync issues related to lups(hopefully).
Everything should be fine now.
I decided that if i must release another version so fast id also add in some more build pics and visual effects i forgot about.
I also added Nano towers back because so many suggested it.
Both land and sea have nanos for t1 cons.
T2 cons have advanced nano towers.
They have much more build power and have a longer build range.

Nanos:

I like it! *TA mod looking good at last... (Well XTA, and BOTA looks good too)

However, nano towers I dont like. Same stand for constructors...

You dont like nano towers?
Do you mean the model/texture or the concept of having nano towers?
and what do you mean about constructors?
the t2 nanos are for those gigantic team games or huge FFA games.

Yes, I don't like the models of nanotowers. And I mean by constructor a tremor :) So yea, tremor model I don't like...
