Eish, the exe loooks to the txt file to make a slot for the component in the game.
 
TXTs:
A. Sometimes they are open txt files in the 'Components' directory, and
B. Sometimes they are compiled into a cfz file in the main RA2 directory.
 
Diagnosing:
1. If you have a gmf component in the 'Components' folder but it doesn't show up in the game, it's because there is no txt for that component (the exe doesn't see it).
2. If you have a component slot that has no component in it, then you have a txt but no gmf component for the txt to direct to. Thus it will crash if selected.
 
Not quite sure what you're looking to do, but here try this (since AU is custom anyway): DieSector
I decompiled or just made some txts for those components a while ago(don't remember which). Install only these files in the 'Components' folder.
 
BTW, Thanks, SSG.

No ADD/ADHD there.
Synapses are working fine...
 
 
 
BTW: Isn't amazing how people with ADD/ADHD have trouble paying attention to mudane math, biology or physics,... but at the same time can consistently watch and function in every little nuance in a video game...

Yes, it was full-scaled, roboticly controlled(RC) vehicles that were heavily armed.... and they had to build them too.
I was actually apprehensive of the stray shots of an M-gun they had.  I think they were somewhere in the remote SW, US, like Arizona, so I guess it's safe.  Maybe Spyguy will ride one of his little minicycles across all of them lined-up.

I saw it. I think it's very cool.
First they have some obstacles to overcome(blow/beat up), then they face off head to head.
Huge weapons...

Sorry it took me a while to get the final round in. I've just no spare time.. It's not like I'm an oil worker or such...*hehe*.
As far as winning, well.... a lot of this game is still luck, and there were only 8 contestants. Nar already called it. I think he already ran our bots face to face. I just wanted to show that SOW bots can be effective. Thanks to Phil too. I'm not sure my particular design was the best by any means. There may be allot better ideas for a SOW bot than this one. As I think Nar noted, it's piston is its Achiles' heel. May need more protection. I had to write an AI.py to run and SRM this one, so with my severe cutback in RA2 time, I don't think that I'll be trying another too soon. Phil may.
 
Edit/BTW: Thanks to Sage who did most of the ftp and posting work.
And special thanks to all of the entrants....

Good effort, Hydro. Be patient, you've got some very good builders helping you.

Condor! Did you miss the context just before your post??? I'm assuming ignorance, for now. You might pay a bit more attention.
You're fortunate this was rectified before the Master Cylinder found it, or you might be sorry about........................'the 30ft. post of death' :dead:.

Discussion / Chessboard Arena
« on: May 08, 2009, 06:36:30 PM »
There were several of us thinking of making that arena.  We were going to make  some of the pieces do damage in accord to their rank.  And some of them would also move on their own as they would in chess.  But Goose couldn't find the file(3dsMax/GMF?), and it never went any further.

Yea, seen this with myself; Sometime we take better care of our cars than we do oursleves. We wouldn't put sand in our oil, and yet put poop in ourselves. So, yea, take care of yourself.  We, and I'm sure others, would like you around for a while... Hope you get better, Ian.

Chatterbox / The Meaning of Life
« on: May 05, 2009, 08:41:42 AM »
Thanks, Phil, I was going to mention that...

I has been biting my tongue, not saying anything cause I all is not home and on an dial-up connection slower than a mopar running on 2 cylinders. And even then my time is sooo limited for RA2 forum stuff(as I recently informed ACAMS).
These arguments are too narrow; i.e Survival of the fittest does not at all facilitate evolution, but only lets the strongest still live.  Evolution requires an increase in extremely complex and specific information to produce a more complex life form.
On the other side, God does not exist/not-exist just because we want or don't want Him to.  Try pretending that with a Mac truck is/is not coming at an intersection,,... Reality it is what it is.   My thinking needs to be subject to reality because reality is not subject to my thinking...
...
Some other relevant factors in this equation:
...RNA/DNA and Information Systems
...Irreducible systems.
...Radio-metric dating.
...Ontology
...Systems analysis within Increasing Entropy
...Order Facilitating factors
...Epistemology (the most primary)


As a former atheist and thus evolutionist, I used to hold this same paradigm as Jeffrey.  But I must say that at least he thinks about these grander themes in/of life, instead of living in a little shell.... like most.

 Later...

Thats really nice Mad, could you make this a patch for stock?
The gib can be modded for stock or DSL. The operative word in your question is 'you'.  My input here was on the design, more than the designer.  I don't know if I have the time to mod this out...but I'll keep it in mind. You might hit up Trov. and CB too...

Hydro, you stick your head in an alligators mouth, and what did you expect?
Work on your bots and other RA2 stuff to be producing more than rhetoric....
I'll extract you this time, but not again.  
Got it?
*Hope so*
