I just wanted to know how to change the colour of the Magnetron's beam. For example I want to change the colour to dark pink, how do I do that?

Shut up.
Who are you? Coder, who write 1 000 000 lines?
Somebody else, who can estimate coding work?

You know nothing about it, and post bullshit.

At the end, look into other games at first...

Actually, I love the games, I just hate the limits, VK, so dont ztyping jump down my throat... I am sorry I do not have your 'leet exe modding skills', VK, to make Z/Rock/Whatever patch, but still, THere really was no reason to flip out on me. I did nothing to you. Bloody hell.

Also, Chiel, please be real...There are much easier games to mod. And they come with mod SDKs standard.

Also, pd, that screen is win. Very Happy

I respect Westwood coders, and I hate everyone, who offend their work.

no. because it will decrease engine speed.

PD, may I ask how you did that? Or was it some .exe modification thing that I know I'd never understand?

Seriously VK, that was unwarantedly harsh... you'll find that you will be a lot more popular if you treat people with respect, and try to help them out of their ignorance instead of insulting their lack of experience. I agree that people shouldn't be posting comments about stuff beyond their experience, and that they should show more respect ot the people who had to write 1,000,000 lines of code, and I'm grateful to you for your willingness to go through all that coding and edit it for the community, but seriously... Chill. Out.

At first I didn't write anything about me.

I am sorry, but people prefer to scold everything that they don't like.
Yes, this is the best position - don't like it -> this shit.
Honestly, we would have less amount of stuffs, if the coders have been really lazy, stupid, etc, as described in posts.

Would this exe modification be in RP or NP? I still haven't gone through all the features, but I'm getting there...

I hope, deep down, PD is brining a new Rock Patch for us.

EXE cracks and good technical support? Win.

Hardcoded = stuff not ini editable (at least in the vanilla game). It's not a statement about quality of coding, Sir Flipsoutalot. In the same vein that I can say with clarity that Oreos are black and white, despite the fact I am not a baker in the least.

Looks like one post by PD has brought an army of followers! PD the PIMP!! Laughing

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why PD told VK he couldn't use the name RP anymore was because PD is secretly working on a new RP... Razz And because he has his own site (http://padsoft.sytes.net/) And truthfully I would think PD would be the right one for hacking the engine, just because he has more programing knowledge, And he is the only one that seems to bring new and original changes to the table... VK has only really continued on what PD has done... Hell I remember when PD sent me a shot of when he was trying to switch the side bar to right side. Laughing Crazy stuff I tell ya.

Anybody ever played Star Wars: Rebellion? Well, it had the Empire with their major command stuff on one side and the Rebs with it on the other. I think this would be a cool type of thing to add...
