Moved to the mod forum.

edit: added a bunch of new items to the changelog

edit: added a couple more, too

sorry i didn't use the search if someone has mentionet about this earlier (i'm in a game at the moment) but lasers seem to have trouble aiming at fast moving targets (try a bunch of jeffies running thru a line of beamers/llt)

also banshees try to attack other banshees on patrol mode

that is so cool. props for reincluding the tech forge. heh i didn't even have to resort to large size red font :D

Note that it will double the filesize of the mod... I'm hoping not too many people will mind, since from here on out updates won't be very frequent as the mod approaches and exceeds OTA:AA quality.

The way it will work is that it will be mandatory to download both mods as they will both be in the ZIP. Hopefully everyone will install them both, too. That way, people who prefer the regular tech tree will still be able to play TF-style if there's no other AA games open. Both versions will have identical units and unit statistics.

The filesize don't need to be doubled...

As i explained be4

U make 3 packages...

1 package only contains the techforge Buildtree
1 package only contains the "normal" buildtree
1 package contains the rest of the mod... (without the buildtrees)

Now the first two packages will be modtype 1
the third package will be modtype 0

now u let the first two packages depend on package 3 and voila... your mod got 100 k bigger... instead of double filesize

Hmm... that might be possible. I'll give it a try.

If you keep unit stats the same the techforges will break it.

Is there some page that lists the function of all the new units?

New Core Buildpics FTW! Those metal ones were painfully eyestraining. We love you Caydr!

Love me, send me cash!

isn't love enough?

Do the core ones on a red planet or something instead of the core prime.

It's going to have to be.

Next version's almost done now. Working on importing the old Forge-style tech tree from an old version; everything else is done, including the new buildpics. Will be released tomorrow as I'm going to give it some time to mirror.

AA version 1.2:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-a ... p?download

As usual, no pissing and moaning allowed in the next 6 hours as you'll get crappy download speeds until it's properly mirrored.

Ugh! Spam! Spam I tell you! Let me explain: S means Standard, F means Forged. Read the readme.

Changes so far to next version:

Put moho exploiters back in!
