Afaik, it is impossible to do with code only. But one can execure a script that will make buildings neutral (not sure if it will work in multiplayer).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

hmmm Oh well... it was an idea only... I've found a balance work around. the Missile silo doesn't have to be the top-tech sperweapon. if it only kills infantry and vehichle crews then it is a good intermediate structure.

thanks.

here a new one... ...

I've built a new type of Scud Storm type superweapon... but when the missiles launch they don't go anywhere, they just sit and wobble at the launchpad and never fly away... its like they don't have a target. I coppied the code for the Demo_scudstorm as closely as I could for what I needed... what causes that type of bug?


EDIT: Nevermind... I fixed it, I don't know what was wrong, but starting over took care of it.

In the new mod, can you take over an enemy command center and build their stuff?
Like in the original, where you could be China and take over a GLA cmd center and then build the slaves to build GLA structures.

no capture rules are still restricted.

[Phoenix911]

U can still have a quick game on multi ^^.
i am not sure how u can remove it, BUT if u have a big editor u can always edit the rank.ini file and change how much experican u need per level.
U will ned to edit anybody else rank.ini file tho aswel if u don't want mismatchs.

[Phoenix911]

No i know that not what u want ^^ but your saying it takes too long the set up but thats because the ranks up are long between each other simply making them closer together woul speed your game up.
I am not sure how to remove it entialy

[Rosco9487]

You would have to open all the faction INI files and remove the rank requirements from all objects that use them.

[prophet of the pimps]

you guys should move from using csf files to .str file. they are compatible with any language version zerohour. csf format sometimes gives problem with versions that are not english.

[Pendaelose]

Hmmm... No, its not what I want... I wonder if someone can tell me that... And no Remix 2.75 isnt what I want either... The very low prices make the game... A little "rushed" and I hate Rush-type games...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Most folks would expect me to be upset LOL but I actualy agree, thats why Remix3 is almost completely different from the older ones...

but WHY the prices are low... is because I think it is bassackwards stupid for a single tank to be worth as much (or more) as a tank factory... In ZeroHour and Contra alike factories are disposable compared to the units they make... this is 100% the oposite in life.

Anyhow, don't judge Remix3 until its out... its VERY differnt from 2.75... most folks would have reneamed it completely its so different, but I'm a wierdo.

I had a quick browse through remix 2.75 and I'm very happy with the feel of your mod. I like how it grows more distinct with each version, has a seperate experience to contra. I really like the idea of modular defences has this allows generals to tailor their defence depending on the opposition faced.
I'm interested to see where the balance will lie in remix 3. Contra 003 had the balance overwhelmingly in favour of land (mainly tank) vehicle based units. Defences, infantry and air was largely irrelevent. 004 introduced stronger defences but the balance is still very much in favour of land (tank) based vehicle assaults. Course contra has the coolest land based vehicles going soo....

Notably its not the units that change the most from version to version, its the balance, and in the case of Remix3 the tech tree.

I just don't like some units being completely ignored, like infantry. Who in thier right mind would burn 500$ on 2 rangers when you can buy a single tank for the same cost and run them over without heistation. In standard ZH I think infantry are a complete waste of money and I strongly disagree with that balance.

Most of the Remix3 Alpha testers would (I hope) agree infantry make a MUCH more usefull base defense force at thier current cost vs performance, though they are still weak on attack (as they should be)

Good stuff.
Because contra does vehicles and massive difference between sides so well, a mod has to either play with the 'classic' balance by a large margin (restore justice and waste land conflict do this well) or have spectacular texture, model AND effects work, or it gets boring real quick.

what you dont like rush why your plying online because in my exp their first tactics is rush for the genprom if the enemy are weak crush them aprt and you move to another enmy ilike rush bec. is suprized my enemy and show them how to win games

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Why do you think we don't like rush? Battle master rush or drone rush work perfectly. But of course in Contra you are unable to carry out Overlord rush.

[Pendaelose]

I don't have anything AGAINST rush tactics... I respect them and value them as an important part of the game. But I also don't enjoy it if EVERY game is a rush game. A low tech rush is fine everynow and then. It keeps us on our toes. But I also enjoy a long SuperWeapon Slugfest every now and then.

I've got a modeling problem. I've got a choper with the avcomanche_p on the blades, and alpha blend set (as best I can tell) in GMAX/RENX. When I view the model in FinalBig the blades are blended and loog great, in game they are opaque...

WHY???
