Skirmish mode

Shadowblade · Civilian **Joined**: 02 Oct 2003

In skirmish mode for TS:Firestorm, how do I make the computer play the opposing side? It always plays the same side as me, GDI vs GDI and NOD vs NOD. I want to play GDI vs NOD and vice versa.

Cheers!

Good question, not sure of the answer though.

I was hoping there was a crack or some *.ini file that could be edited. Red Alert had the same problem, but at least sometimes it gave you an opposing enemy rather than always the same side. There ought to be a button so you can choose the enemy forces.

Uh...Shadowblade I've got no idea what's wrong with your TS, but the opponents are chosen completely random by the game.

hmm, it has to be possible in RA2 at least, cuz they didn't make an entirely new engine or something, but ts, fs, and ra I don't know

Btw- I wish td has skirmish its my favorite game Sad

The cliffs wont be the same, but you could try?

It might be possible to 'get' the problem when you're toying with new sides, but otherwise.. no it simply won't happen.

Well, that's what's wrong with it. I don't want a random choice made by a programme, I want to choose the enemy each time myself. But they didn't implement such a feature. All it needs is a patch with a button to choose the enemy, like choosing the number of starting units or the tech level.

I've played a dozen skirmishes and I've only got the opposite side once: GDI when I was NOD.

Cheers!

Bah..Grand Canyon sucks.

Just had to say it..

the dvd has flamed grand canyon before...
Anyway, you will have to mod this one yourself shadowblade, I ain't got the time to remake a map selection screen and write up in the ini's so you can choose your opponant... (i'm not sure its possible with the TS engine anyway...)

Ah, well, then I'm stuck with it, I suppose. I got the opposite enemy another once or twice, but if it's random it ought to be 50:50? Perhaps I haven't played enough games yet?

I thought for a while that if I chose the map and the settings and then switched sides before starting, the computer played the original side I chose. But that seems to have been a coincidence as I just played another NOD vs NOD.

Cheers!
