Thank you Casojin.
I didnt work first but i made some chanes to music.ini and it worked at last.
I thought this is for that the names of track files and the "Filename" in the ini file are not the same.

for example:

MusicTrack USATrack1
Filename = USA_01.mp3
End

changed into:

MusicTrack USATrack1
Filename = track1.mp3
End

and i deleted these lines:

MusicTrack Silence
; use this to play silence.
End

MusicTrack Game_Silent
Filename = Silence60.mp3
End

because only the first track was played. and after deleting the problem solved.

Thank you again and can you tell me when Contra 008 comes out?

Any change to Music.ini is NOT RECOMMENDED. You won't be able to play multiplayer. That Music.ini of yours is not Contra Music.ini for sure. You can check for an easier way to customize music playlist here (look at Post#3).

look at this pic plz

Well, this is impossible.
If you make maps, you know why, so Im going to explain.

You have 3 kinds of undergrounds. You have the terrain, this is where all the effects will spawn on. You have water, which equals impassible terrain. And you have objects. Bridges are objects, and it is almost impossible to make these craters on them. This is possible, but it would require you to make a skin with the crater on every coordinate. Also, the blood is also easy to explain: It is a mark, and marks will have the same angle as the terrain it is placed on. So if the terrain is 20° and then it changes to 0° the blood will go underground.

i have a suggestion:
1st- i think we have 2 change some units icons , gen pwrs icons
2nd- make effects in bridges
3rd- change the toolbar of gameplay ?
4th- there is some interface in the game not changed : u r playin with friend multiplayer in a map that ur friend don't have it so it will download then when the downloading page is opened u will find the zero hour interface and others in the following pics
5th- remake usa replics

Ps: Creator: i am in Dubai atm nd gundamwen give me the coordinates 2 record the sounds
so when i go back 2 Tunisia i ll start

THAT'S all

[Casojin]

Contra would need a larger team plus artists for those you suggested, Faf.

[dcesarec]

Buttons and toolbar is changed already as far as i know.And,to make new ones i ned few hours,maybe less.Or anyone other,because its simple.

A suggestion for Creator:
The GLA Holes that you get when a GLA Building is destroyed are stealthed, but as soon as it begins re-building it becomes un-stealthed.
There should be a command button for the GLA Hole that when you click on it, it begins re-building the structure instead of it automatically re-building.

When it begins re-building, it becomes visible again so nearby enemies can attack it, and it then becomes destroyed.

You can wait until enemy forces leave, then begin re-building your buildings from the GLA Holes.

Sounds good. Should cost 200$ for the worker. And indeed, it is so irritating when you get in there with ZTZs and the hole disapears.

It's also so annoying when you are a GLA general and one of your buildings get destroyed into a GLA hole. Then, it starts re-building while there are enemies in your base, then it gets destroyed that way!

Upon reading lil tasmans post about Nuke gen losing his bunker, I thought of the following:

A troop crawler just for nuke gen. It is heavy, slow, but has double the slots of a normal troop crawler, allowing for 8 tank hunters. It should be a rank 3 unit, or a rank 1 unit with an upgrade to a higher speed.

It would be a good unit, but only for a later rank. Because of balance issues, Rank 5 maybe? The current troop crawlers for nuke general devastate as it is!

[Su8perkillr]

True, however, Nuke gen already has 2 super units (bertha and iron fist).

[lil tasman]

Ahhh,.... i LOVE Bertha. Mabey a bunker upgrade for bertha?

[Su8perkillr]

Dont think that one will go. Will act like a nuclear missile turret but then quicker with more people and better anti infantry.

The crawler I mentioned is slow, so it wont be a real strong unit, just nice to defend the corners of your base.

Yes but it will have extreme firepower, and generally, a slow unit is one that has high health. Seems like something that you would get at rank 5. maybe if you made it slow with low health, then it could be at rank 3.

[Su8perkillr]

Hmm. Need to think some more about this unit. Im at a slow computer at the moment, and it isnt mine, so I cant go ahead and test some stuff. But I will use my brains.

[lil tasman]

Creator, a suggestion. In the main menu, have an "update" button like how you added the world-builder one that checks for updates from the contra site. If you do not have the latest version, then it will download the necessary files/version and insert/install it. Or, have it automatically check for updates when you start it.
This will eliminate people having different versions in Multiplayer.

Mmm giving nuclear general any china defense is needless , Players generaly don't use defenses anyways.

Agreed. Nuke Gen has enough firepower. He needs some vulnerability.
Defense structures have their own uses but using them extensively is not a good choice.
