In that case, the main default techtree might be "used" to indirectly grow the size of the custom tree... as all variations of such individual trees can refer to it for some common techs, right? Unless, you want a standalone tree for that specific race -- most techs found in it wouldn't call the main file for general resources.

Call it a coincidence... but, the 8600GS overheated two weeks ago and was swiftly replaced (under warrenty & including service) by a decent 9600GT (both 512MBs) & lucky me, that Acer Tower Mobo had a resident 7100 (941-GPU, IIRC) chipset integrated so i could actually loadup Vista & still use the PC on the VGA array even with such a temporary solution & verify system integrity. Now, it's back to pure DVI and -- speedy performance. No reasonably good Mobo should be with

In DA, mine stands at 231KB & counting... and loading just fine. Check for typos.

It is more a question of balancing the assets while the corresponding techs become available, from scouting tasks to an all out war against AI - we still need variable sizes to pack a deck of attack or faster engines. I've altered these values in X-Worlds ships, but for different reasons... TSMLCH (Tiny to Huge) default sequence was; 16,24,48,80,60,150. I modded that to be; 20,32,56,92,76,128. (For example, the cargo hull has been sized 16+ for an extra module & ju

Alright, looks like it has been fixed! They snapped a 9600GT-512mbs (much better card, indeed!) into the slot and i'm back on the desktop... strangely, for a whole week the oldy Compaq/HP Presario-V6000 laptop came to the rescue somehow but there's still very limited stuff on it & it was sooooo slow. Touch pad mousing is clumsy. Kept the PSU, though. Bof, it's okay. As long as this tower stands, it's working good. So, back to modding & other important tasks. [

The BrowseWnd.dxpack file was "altered" for TA so that any mods selection lines couldn't appear in the usual listing. This was corrected by (IIRC) macmat a little while ago and you should be able to find the thread & a link to the file somewhere in this modding section. As for your mod, there might be some corrupted files in it, too. Even if the instructions above are carefully followed, there's no guarantee such modded files are properly configured. It's reasonable to assume that

Alright... it's back to the oldy P4 with XP_Pro, the 6200 and all that jazz. Call me a turtle with a bunch of obselete junk to be bothered with for the next 1.5 week. They better fix it, fast. [e digicons]:'([/e]

[quote]But I will not pay for malware.[/quote] Nobody does either ways; legally bought or pirated copies. What most people hate, i gather, is supplemental verifications (through hidden processes) by code taking up useless space on their PC... i KNOW that also.

And to make it even clearer (since i was interrupted by an important task). 250 years ago yesterday, in Québec city the British military defeated the French colonists on "Les Plaines d'Abraham" and soon after took over Canada as a result. Two things were planned to commemorate this event. 1) Reconstitution of the battle field itself with "theatrical" characters, cannons, rifles and the whole strategic plans of Wolfe & Montcalm without forgetting the native t

It's not that we need another election, it's that NOTHING stopped the Conservatives from escaping opposition parties last fall by emptying the House of Commons.

Competition is the trick of the loop; quality ratings multiplied by the amount of differently managed & provided solutions. No coherent norms, chaotic policies, variable assets, high & low ball figures of investment, evaluation of local needs, etc. Sure, make it sooooo impossible to reach that in

There are plenty of shipstyles Mods & files in the library... all you need to do is download the stuff, examine what THEY did and simply copy the method(s) used. I'd recommend AFRonin's work or even MrKorx's Asa of Iggdrasil. For a starter.

[quote]Any pirate who wants to copy the game and distribute it is going to do so, and they'll also end up with a nice clean version not containing any DRM. The paying customers on the other hand have to put up with the restrictions and inconveniences of DRM.[/quote] Ya know, i'm really tired of hearing that kind of false logic... if you don't pay for a game your are a thief, but if you're paying as a customer they (as in distributor, publisher and/or developper, etc) have every rights

Tons of titles & publishers were already announced a few months ago... pay very close attention to Impulse swooping the distribution market(s), also. EA somehow needed Ready To Play & Goo if only to refurbish their "current reputation" of availability without obstruction (yep, DRM principles... **AND SOOOOO WHAT** ), anyway.
