There may be fewew xta people playing now than a while ago, but xta's always been about quality and not quantitity.

I myself am often online, and willing to play. In two weeks I go to Chile for some months and then I won't probably be online as much.

It's much easier to get it from springfiles.
Put the mod archive either in /MyDocuments/Spring/mods or in /Spring/mods, former path recomended as when you install a newer version of Spring engine, you won't have to move all the maps and mods to it, that is if you're using windows. If you're on linux you're already geeky enough to figure it out by yourself.

Only problem is if you have several hard drives, and want to have the mod archive on one that's not the boot drive.

In that case it's just better to skip Archivemover and manually save your stuff where you want it, it's not hard to do.

You can move your MyDocuments folder to any location, it's not obligatory to keep it on your C: drive, or the drive you installed Windows on.
Right-click on the folder (or desktop icon if you have it) and in the Location tab press "Move..." and choose new destination.
That way you won't lose the folder contents if you re-install your OS on the same partition/HDD. That's the first thing you should do when you freshly install windows. Assuming you have at least two HDD partitions. If you don't, make at least two partitions before installing OS in the first place. Only an idiot had his entire primary HDD in one partition.

We have shitty balance.

Shitload of mod options and levers that confuses the new player.

No video tutorial for BADsd8v8loLOVERS (punishment wighs included uppon starting with solars or building uberly cost reduced (blame pintle) Heavy fusion).

Spring keeps getting broken with every release. (as do overcomplexed lua mods).

Cox has succeded in its utter objective which is { cancer of xta }

Its possible noruass is still wearing his hat and dancing while breaking the mod and transforming it in a fps on rts wheels.


And finally, ffs, its seems no one knows pintle is the uber noobzorx, lowest stone of xta. (and officila troll feeder of xta forums).
He still thinks t1 gunships where nerfed at any point since ver .66se
I think it was arrogance of the elite players what killed the incomming new player stream into xta.

And all we failing to realize those ba troll players DO IT ON PURPOSE, one time just for ruining our fun.

And we stupidly typing instructions EVERY TIME, FOR EVERY NOOB, on the console, instead of making a good tutorial for them.
(did i say video tutorial ? ).


Did someone fix vulcan already? so it does not own the game? (vulcan was intended to be a psichological weapon, not intended to win a game).
BTW, berthas were INTENTIONALLY overnerfed to encourage other types of gameplay (noruas increased power again) (apply this concept to nukes too).
Is still hover tanks debuffed so they are more expensive and do less damage than last reencarnation?
was sea fixed? Why did noruas fucked the t2 sea missile frigates? and t2 destroyers? and t1 destroyers?
Are those ugly fucks ships still in the game? (i mean the ... ship killers..). Where skeeters fixed so they dont do the original damage at HALF or so the cost? Has some genius calculated the
delta in area*damage/cost for old and new nukes and realized the increase in build cost is trivial for the increase in damage?
did t2 fighters (vamp) got their flares back? Is t1 sea still castrated agaist air (skeeter nerf)


(above reads "shitty balance").

so how could we still be able to play, or get ppl into the game with this cancer over us?

If i had the time and money i would fix xta. But i dont.

Yeah, I did that now, but it's not really perfect either. I don't really see game files as 'documents', and if you reinstall windows it still misses the paths to those folders, but of course the files remain. But in the end it's too tedious to battle against windows, so better comply :).

its funny because pintle is helpful to noobs and would paddle your ass 1v1...

lol t1 gunships were insane OP in .66, I have a blurry memory of playing either you or one of the other pro-0.66 guys a few years back and spamming them to death with t1 gunships.

t1 gunships end more games and kill more commanders than any other unit
