Here is Alpha V 0.81, which is being released in its current form so that players will have a V4 compatible version to play with.
Instructions are the same as the last time, but in case people can be bothered to scroll up:
What you'll need:
1. Nothing but this pack, its all in there.
What you'll need to do:
1. Copy the Total Conversion Pack into a seperate Custom OOB folder or into a duplicate install of the game
2. Copy the requisite graphics, rank, name, and text files over, after backing up the defaults (always back up the defaults)
3. Using the OOB manager copy over the OOBs (You an also just permanently install them, especially if you're using a duplicate install)
What's new:
- Nothing dramatically new in this version. Small changes have been made, but the biggest is the fact that this pack is now V4 based. Previously the OOBs had more or less been based on stock OOBs somewhere between Patches V2.5 and V3. All OOBs should incorporate various stock design changes (mainly those to weapon stats), with the obvious slew of subsequent changes.
What you don't get:
- Formation and unit text (this always seems to lag behind)
- Complete reference list (If you want a list of the sources I used I'll be happy to provide it)
- Correct icons for every unit (but we're getting better all the time)
- Correct lbms for all units (the LBM format still creates issues)
- Revised picklists for every nation (this is becoming a higher priority and as soon as very OOBs fill out it should be easier to complete this)
It can be dled via Rapidshare here (Total size ~5MB):
