These are indeed bugs. I've actually already fixed those along with a few other bugs and I'll most likely upload an update with those fixes tomorrow (since I'll be away for most of today and Rampastring will be looking into another potential issue in the meantime).

Hello everybody

happy new year !!!!

Bittah, I played with allies faction, it's the same problem, the allies are able to build two different APC ^^

IDEA

It's possible in the future to choose own reinforcements at the beginning of the game in a drop down menu for example " starting credits "?

It should be possible and i suggested something similar already a while ago in staff forum.
Rampa needs to code this into the client however and since he still has a lot of other things to do, it's not sure when and if at all this will be done.

This would take quite a bit of work on the client (an entire new dialog would need to be added for selecting the units would need to be added for one), so I rather doubt that Rampastring would even do this if he didn't have other things to do.

By the way, has anyone ever tested whether the actual Dropship Loadout screen works in multiplayer? And if so, what stopped it from working? Maybe it'll work now that we can use the Spawn houses...

The dropship loadout was suffering from a bad mouse afaik. Though i never tried to get it work.

The client would actually serve then as the dropship loadout screen. And since the client is hand-made, it would offer a lot more modding capabilites and future improvements.

The dialog for the client should be rather easy to make (Rampa has already all the custom controls). The bigger problem might be that the client should parse rules.ini for the unit costs, art.ini to get the unit icon filenames and extracting mix files to get the icon/unit images for the preview.
So the client is using directly the game data and not some copied material just for this unit-selection screen which then could happen to be different to the ingame assets.
Though for a first version a simple list of icon files in a separate folder would do the job too, so there is no need for the client to parse/read any game files.

Don't know about multiplayer but missing mouse cursor in dropship loadout screen gets solved by
placing mouse.shp in cache.mix.

Was gonna go all rampage when you said that but then I checked, mouse.shp is in conquer.mix not cache.mix. So what E1 suggested might work.
