Release: SMAC in SMAX

[Yitzi]

Did you set this flag inside SMACX binary (v2.0)?

009A6488 g_ENABLE_SMACX

It gets toggled to TRUE in WinMain on start. It might actually cut down on the need to some edits since it will prevent a lot of SMACX specific content. You can find all references to it inside db draft.

I actually used that flag to find all the differences, and the "SMAX stuff" data is OR'd to that DWORD and flags tested that way...however, just using that flag means you can't split it (e.g. use the SMAX rules for some things and SMAC for others).

Yitzi did all the exe stuff for this mod, I just edited the text files

Interesting to know how you did it, though, Yitzi.

Ah that makes sense. I never really dug into it deeper than it was likely a debug boolean to switch between SMAC/X.

After downloading the latest version of smacinsmax and trying to use it with thinker mod, I seem to have no luck getting it to work when launching terranx_mod.exe. I always get the crossfire intro instead and start quick play starts me as CyCon. I've tried just dropping everything in manually, putting ac_mod in as a whole folder without overwriting as the instructions request, and I tried using the beta launcher that was recommended in this post. Same result every time. Anyone else have a problem like this, or know of any fix?

Latest versions of thinker include an ac_mod directory with all the files you need. See instructions here https://github.com/induktio/thinker/blob/master/Details.md#smac-in-smacx-mod

I maintain up-to-date documentation about the mod here: https://github.com/DrazharLn/smac-in-smax

So happy to see this post.  I had installed SMAC in SMAX many years ago, looking forward to trying it again

Great! I'm glad to know some other people used the work
