Buster's Uncle:
Unmodified alphax.txt

Once in a while, someone needs this, so...

http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=99

Green1:
Thank you, BU. I was preparing to offer mine.

Buster's Uncle:
...You could post plain alpha.txt...

Green1:
Well, I could do it but the alphax.txt is pretty long. Going over what all the .txt in detail can do would be interesting reading. Most of the old topics on that are archived or maybe they never went over it back in the day.

The only alteration I ever dared to do with it was change the (in my opinion) stupid mandatory retirement year. But i have heard other folks do some crazy things with it like altering AI build ques and such. As I mentioned, hard to find good info on it these days as many forums on it are archived.

BTW, never done MP, but how does the alphax.txt work with MP if two folks have different stuff in the alpha.txt? Is there some kind of checksum?

Also, what about the Upatches? There are two versions. Some are going pure Scient, others are going Kyrub+Scient PLUS. I am sure others only have the Firaxis WinXP patch. I think they are three separate .exes. I also think scient/kyrubs has the WinXP in it? How does that work in a MP environment?

Buster's Uncle:
I believe they agree in advance what patches and such.  Perhaps sisko or another CMN will amplify on that.

Information on what does what in alpha and alphax.txt is hard to come by partly because the CMN crowd doesn't share what they know very freely, because it could be used to cheat at MP, and most of the people who know that stuff are CMNs.  It's frustrating.
