I can't seem to get this to play for me. Launches to the main menu then when i hit skirmish, it just says "connecting" and doesn't go any further. I used this site to make the modifications.

If you want to play the original game and yes its still played on warzone then go to:

www.d-gun.com free download of all the files you need with instructions to install.

Well, nothing happening in this case.

BUT something new happened:

Its out!
Total Annihilation v3.9.02 Beta Patch has gone public and it has the megamap in it.
This is IT!
Now you can play Total Annihilation with 1920x1080 and have a megamap where you can give commands etc. and see much better where our units are, even on big maps!

http://www.tauniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43735

Just at a glance:

"This version introduces the "megamap", a groundbreaking, customizable, and interactive full-screen map view that is toggled by zooming with the mouse wheel or via the configurable keyboard hotkey. The megamap is similar to the minimap, but it covers the entire game view and features far more interactivity and graphical feedback. Anything you can do in the main game view, you can also do on the megamap! You can select and control units, build structures (including via line building), and check map data such as line of sight, radar, sonar, weapon ranges, etc."
I made a new thread about it here:

Hope this is possible. FAF is an awesome platform.

I don't think you want to be hosting replays. TA ones are huge.

The main thing holding TA back at the moment is N72 hasn't finished the universal patch. When that's done you'll be able to buy TA, double click a file and have everything running in 5 minutes. I'd be nice if a few more FAF players gave TA a try and vice versa. The two communities have a lot in common.

This sounds very interesting indeed. I am sure many people are out there that could provide what is needed to build this in. It just has to be spread. I will post this in this forum if nobody is against it!?:

What lacks at the other clients is really the spirit and awesome design that Ze_Pilot and the community here at FAF bring to the world.
It is with the other clients not that easy (for me at least) and one or two are emtpy.
So who knows what comes next. TA Forever!!! And Core above anything!

Nice FAFlogo by the way (I mean the mini logo for the Browser)!!

There must be some level of communication between the game and FAF lobby.

ie. who is in the game, what is the hosted map, when the game has started, and of course if the player has left the game.

So that's what I was asking... what does a protocol look like?

That's a pretty short list of things to do. I have the sneaking suspicion you need more, right?

That's not a protocol but a hack.

Did I've said somewhere that was willing to do it?

I've said I was okay to implement it. Different things.

But seriously, what would that already done solution look like?

A protocol (in the sense of "a serie of stuff to do") in order to launch TA, create a TA lobby, maybe people joining these lobbies, and probably a way to get the resulting replay.

I don't really have time to go through the source.

I need a "already done" solution.

Also this is only for replays, not connecting players to each others, listing games, ....

When you say "protocol", what context do you mean? TA demo recorder's source appears to include documentation of network protocols. I'm sure we could find someone to translate it from Swedish for us lol

If someone give me a protocol to work with, it's kind of trivial.
