To keep
from having to release approximately 30MB of TAMEC data with each
release that never changes, the TAMEC data has been split off into a
separate download. You only need to download this once. After that, you
can just download the newest mod versions as they are released.
Here is a link to the TAMEC file (tamechpi2004.ccx) you need to put in
your TOTALA directory.
The Demo
Recorder, though not required, is *highly* recommended.
The TA Demo Recorder (TADR) allows you to record demos of your
multiplayer games (Sorry, no skirmish games) and watch them later, so
you can see what you could have done better on, or to see how your
opponent approached things. One of the best ways to improve your skills
is to watch over your games to see how you could do things differently
next time or pick up new tactics from your opponent.
It also adds in the ability to share line of sight with your allies and
see their current amount and income of metal and energy, which makes
working together as a team more intuitive. It adds in basic
"whiteboard" functionality, allowing you to draw lines or mark things
on the screen, so you can swiftly sketch out enemy defenses or targets
when you scout the area. Your allies can also see your drawings, making
this immensely useful for co-ordinating strategy. It allows you to set
a text macro to a single button, so you can simply hit F11 to
automatically set things like "+shootall" and "+shareall" at the
beginning of a game, instead of having to type it all out. It also
allows you to "drag" out a line of buildings with just a few clicks,
which makes Dragon's Teeth walls much easier to do, or automatically
queue up a "circle" of Dragon's Teeth around a building. There's even
the ".cmdwarp" feature that allows you to pick starting spots for each
Commander at the beginning of a round, allowing you to easily set up
teams with the people you want on each one.
The file
above also includes the TA Demo Recorder patch to update version 0.99b2
to version 1.0.
This version fixes up a few issues and bugs with the previous version.
Most people have no problems with it, but a few have had it refuse to
record games, or other issues. Try it, and if for some reason you have
problems, if nothing else, you can always just use the 0.99b2 version
only.
Just copy the files in the patch into your TOTALA directory (Some files
will overwrite old ones), and you're done.
