Texture updates?  Like new landscape graphics?

I've done a few - I really ought to dig them up and zip up a goodie package...

Sounds awsome i look forward to trying them out. Any chance they might be a higher resolution. And any chance you might know of a way to extend the number of turns?

Alpha Centauri is definately one of my favourite games. I had such high hopes for beyond earth but it ended up disappointing me.

These two GotMs have altered fungus:

That's what I remember doing for sure.

Extending game turns is an easy Notepad edit of one of the .txt files, but I don't recall what.  Someone will be along who knows soon, I expect...

Just edit alpha.txt (for SMAC) or alphax.txt (for SMAX).

Just search for "Normal ending year "

How would I go about editing the textures myself if I wanted to change them. Any specific programs i might need?

Do you have any tutorials on changing the ground textures?

Basically, it's all the same techniques as faction modding - just watch out for the color palette, which is slightly different for the terrain files, and practice, practice, practice.

I got linked here from GOG help forums.
I've been playing Alpha Centauri ever since it first came out; it's the ONLY software I have that I've put on every desktop I've used since whenever I bought it.
And when Windows 10 wouldn't let me install from the original disk, I was recommended to go to Good Old Games, and they got me up and running again. I also got Alien Crossfire as a bundle buy, and they were giving away Rebel Galaxy as a freebie, so I have those as well. Just haven't tried to run them yet.

Welcome x4 of ya!  :)


The more I hear about Win10's problems the more determined I become to avoid it.
If it can't run SMAC, why bother installing it, right?

Bogged by RL, sorry y'all.  Hope to be back to modding shortly.

Abort, Retry, Fail?' was the phrase some wormdog scrawled next to the door of the Edit Universe project room. And when the new dataspinners started working, fabricating their worlds on the huge organic comp systems, we'd remind them: if you see this message, always choose 'Retry.
