121 pages in less than 4 months, over 73,000 hits, and we're barely halfway through the Round 1 matches. By the time we have the winner for XFF I, I wouldn't be surprised if this thread surpasses 200 pages.

Well the tech side thread is still quite new but I'm sure it will get a lot bigger when more layouts have to be done.


And yes, I am insane. :D


@BeidAmmikon, BTW I like that little "Witty Messages" feature. :wink:

:lol:

Like I said back somewhere in I think around the 30s (page numbers, not years :P), my goal was to beat NS's Wanton use of nukes and the path to galactic conquest. Reply wise we need ~2800. View wise we need ~550k. :D

Also, three, yes three new videos are up for your viewing pleasure. Check out my youtube page to view them or give me 5 minutes so I can get links sorted out.

EDIT: Well it seems there is only one video now as the one of the other two is too long and the third one is a part two so it wouldn't make much sense to watch it :(

Anyways, here is the imperium3 vs. kalu match in all its HD glory.

Oh right :P

Actually, I didn't quite figure out how to make it work using the files you sent me. I used the stuff from the other thread instead. (The .xml version).

So if you want to include a Readme this time around I'd greatly appreciate it :P

The last one I sent you?
Edit: mineaswell put the link here since the fight is over, XFF Olterin vs. stemardue

All you need to do is:
1. extract the cat/dat pair
2. pop them in your tc directory
3. rename them to be higher than the current numbers in there
example: game version 2.7.1 has 12 cat/dat pairs so you rename the xff_Olterin_stemardue.cat and xff_Olterin_stemardue.dat to 13.cat and 13.dat.
4. load up the game and select a map
5. confirm when ready



You should pop in the chat room more :P

Oh they did, took out some of his fighters that way.

And my apologies, but I'm not going to be here for the next week :(

I'm going to Singapore :D

Leaving tonight so you're going to have to wait for videos/matches.

But after all, too many matches and videos close together isn't good for business is it? :P

Oh well, I'm here for another 20 hours or so. I got rejected at the airport, flight full :(

Going back later to try my luck again.

Alright, but no video. Also, it's 2 am here. You're still going to have to wait for some time so I get some sleep.

While I appreciate that, it wasn't needed. I pretty much dropped dead after my last post. :)


EDIT: Aro help!!!! It's not working! I've placed the cat/dat into my TC directory and renamed them both to 13, but it's not working! No message pops up when I load a map. I even checked with EJ to make sure I false patched correctly!

Oops mixed it up with Hong Kong - What can I say? It's been a long day for me: sweating, working and sweating some more.

Why oh why does this have to occur with one of the fleets that I did the layout for....Lemme check my coding and make sure I didn't screw something up (big time), after all Olterin/stemardue worked.


Edit: Coding fixed, minor error concerning the Mamba's in N-S's fleet.

Ok, since Aro hasn't replied yet, I'll do the match using the MD, but manually.

EDIT: The oddest thing just happened. When I spawned the fleets in, 12 mammoths (they were blue to me but weren't Argon) also spawned in. They just flew around aimlessly!

I'm gonna redo the battle but I'll post the saves and eventually the video in case anyone is interested in watching this odd battle.

EDIT #2: Seems there was a problem with the code for the MD. Thanks to Deadbeat_Spinn, it's now fixed.

EDIT #3: Congrats to GCU on his win against NS! This has to be my most favorite battle of them all! The battle was 175% Epic! It had everything! 3v1 capital ship battles, capital ship ramming, fighter swarm vs 1 M5, fighter swarm vs FAAs! Shame you guys have to wait so long for the video.

Forgive my ignorance, but I have to ask. What weapons are those that emit continuous, long, white beams of light, beams that I've seen coming out of Panthers during some of the battles? Are they Ion-based weapons?
Thanks.
