I'm trying out a new setup where a DDT has to be directly attached tot the secret AP of a Snapper II. On that DDT the wedge is going to be. Has this setup any chance of being wedgy or will it be too "loose"?

Yeah I was going to troll with this image, then decided not to, but now I'm going to do it anyway

Ah alright, I didn't know that. NVM on this then

I have to do more investigation, but I've done something similar before, with CoD4. The master server was annoyingly often down so I wrote my own. But that server was well-documented and changing to a different masterserver was simply opening the console in-game and changing a CVar.
I guess we'll have to do some emulating and packet sniffing.

I had an idea, if we could find out the protocol of the master server, edit the (probably) hardcoded address of the gameserver that RA2 to our server, code the server then maybe we can play online without hamachi. It probably won't fix the lag, but it's worth a shot.
Anyone?

I have a question..
Why is it, NC that you are so eager to become a Tech Adviser?
Oh I am not really eager for it. A lot of people suggested it and I was like "ah WTH why not". And I wasn't sure how to ask/apply/??? for it so I made this thread. Nothing more, nothing less.

you've only been here a couple of months Weeks :) Also, extremely offtopic and hijacking, but has anyone seen Serge lately? I've sent him a few PM's about the development of a new game but he doesn't seem to reply (or I'm doing something horribly wrong with sending the PM's because I don't see them in sent messages either).

Alright, that's one heated discussion  I didn't want to cause trouble, nor a flamewar. And as I said in my first post, "If voting like this is not the way it goes at GTM then please consider this thread as never posted.", which seems true: The staff will judge your work in time and will give you your title if they feel you deserve it. People don't "apply" for positions here, exceptions being when the staff asks for one (example would be Kill343). Oh, and why even make a vote ? The staff will decide, not the plebs. I have respect for all of your posts, and please don't consider what I'm going to say next as offense or something, I just would like to reply. Yes I did browse through all 8 pages of his history. I just can't find anything involving serious RA2 mechanics testing, insights in modding/gmf, or RA2 programming (written software/tinker with exe/etc). Like I see Autohotkey related stuff, but that's not really programming.
I expect GTM Tech Advisers to know more about programming and the workings of this game than I do. I'm sorry, I thought Tech Adviser was more general then just about RA2. You do seem to be a bit cautious about my "programming skills", perhaps these references will convince you (don't get me wrong, I don't like to brag, but I don't like to be seen n00b either): http://stackoverflow.com/users/565635/nightcracker#qpage_1-anpage_1-qsort_votes-ansort_votes, https://github.com/nightcracker/ncUI (horribly outdated UI for WoW, yes I played that) I "DEMAND" RA2 Technical Advisers to be some Outcast Geeks who's first language is programming. In that case we're settled, because that's my first language. (no 123savethewales, I have no grudge against you, just saw 2 posts I didn't like) AKA: Nightcracker, you are being too eager and too quick in your rise to power. Perhaps I was a bit quick with making this thread, but I'm certainly not eager for power. I'm just here to help and do my thing. Guys let off him. They're not on me, they're critical, which is good. If they would be like "AWSUM LETS DO IT1!!!111!" with everyone the community would no doubt collapse. Once again, sorry for creating such controversy (is that the correct word for this?).

And they are lighter!
But for most (but not all) purposes ramplates will be better at defending the parts you want defended. Snow Plows cover a lot of area, which also means they get hit a lot (and thus break off earlier).

As suggested by many, I'm applying to be "Tech Adviser". Some people supporting me (PM me if you think I falsely quoted you and you don't support me at all): nightcracker should become quickest Tech Adviser in history of GTM! I'm callin it!
Sorry for hijacking this thread, but what is a tech adviser, what does it mean on these forums?
Tech advisers are the absolute brains of the forum. They understand all that coding voodoo and partake in binary-talk witchcraft.
It is really only a matter of hours time before you become one as well.
Anyone wanna make an NC4TA (nightcracker for Tech Advisor) badge? :P
Oh and apparently people want me as Tech Adviser :) You sure do merit that title.
Disclaimer: I added a poll only to see the opinion of the community. If voting like this is not the way it goes at GTM then please consider this thread as never posted.

Of course stock plows have 1000 HP.
He asked about ramplates Do Ramplates still have 8000HP, or is that only in DSL?

This doesn't seem crazy at all, you just need to be a bit technical to understand this WTF?!?! situation.
I think you are using the wrong (windows) tools to edit the files.
BMP images aren't just BMP images, you can have various bit depths and other settings. The programming of RA2 assumes these properties of the BMP image and crashes if these assumptions aren't true. Use the GIMP for editing the image. I think it saves the image with the same depth-properties as it opens the image.
The same goes for text files. Text files have to be saved in a certain encoding. An encoding is a convention for what values (since a computer only understands numbers, or bits) we use for what characters. Different encodings exist and I think RA2 assumes one encoding while your editor uses a different encoding. Try editing the image with Notepad++, it should save the file in the same encoding as it was opened.

Your HTML is HORRIBLE! Don't use caps for HTML tags (with the exception of DOCTYPE), so <html> instead of <HTML>. Please, always specify a doctype, I prefer HTML5 (the doctype is simply <!DOCTYPE HTML>). The correct tag for in-line javascript is <script type="text/javascript"> /* */ </script> and you forgot to close a <center> (all of that I saw in 2 seconds, didn't look that intensive). If you want to look at good HTML style, check out the source of my website, http://nclabs.org/.

They only have 1000HP in stock. They get hit off in one shot always on my popup vs a good HS.

Even though you found a solution, can I recommend AutoHotkey? It's extremely versatile and can remap any key to any key and much more. I also use it for my movepixel tool (well, I still do, is going to change when I have the time :)).

I thought I had the issue sorted, but no. Can anyone link me to some new DirectX drivers and how to install them?
You don't really seem to understand what DirectX is. DirectX is a graphics programming library that allow programmers to write graphical programs without writing machine-specific code for every (for example) video card and that has optimal algorithms built-in so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Drivers are software programs that help the computer control your hardware, that's why you have "video-card drivers" and "network-card drivers". DirectX is not hardware so you don't have drivers for it. What I think you meant instead is a DirectX version/update :) If I'm not mistaken a DirectX installer should be in the RA2 folder that you can use, but that DirectX version is horribly out-of-date. You can try to install it though and see if RA2 runs. This one (slightly outdated, but very stable) version should work: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en@Craaig: Feel free to make one :D

A few months ago I picked up a Ibanez Soundgear IJXB190 bass (not my picture:  It was 85 euros, but it had some paint damage. Still love it :) (yes, I play bass, and I play piano)

So you prefer the exact same price from eBay over a new one from Thomann? Right...

No, it happened mid-fight. I think SM has nailed it, the wedges are so heavy they cause one of the wheel drive to not hit the ground or something weird like that.
