Need a hand with this shell file...

[TheJamsh]

Ah well done red_spot!

I knew there must be a way around it. didnt think using CMD would work. Youre a genius! Thankyou kindly!

[Red Spot]

You're welcome. I wanted to know it myself anyway, now I know it a bit sooner than planned

[TheJamsh]

Here it is in all its glory, and working. look close enough you can see another little extra in there too

[Nielk1]

I already have 2 recs planned to be in with MRVP's installer. Maybe we need 2 more?

MRVP's Recs
SRV
NRV

Should we add:
TJRV and RSRV?

I ask because MRVP is rather heavy on shell modifications lately. It does its best to stay out of the way and instead create a tool bar style system, but I would have to patch it for every shell editing always on mod that comes out unless we work more together.

I wonder if the other guy who had the cool magnetic thrower buildings is making a rec.

Jamsh's and my philosophy for add on configuration are different, so I think I may be helping him split his 'addon pack' into 'Always On' and 'Toggle as Mod' pieces.

Neat shell edits, could use you all helping me out

[TheJamsh]

Where and what is RSRV?

Oh wait... Red Spot. Hah got it.

code!!


Nielk1,

I really dont mind helping out or sharing resources but the way I'm setting things up its all heavilly mod-based and by itself already conflicts with vanilla so I doubt we could combine our assets, but any 'concept' I may come up with is free for use.
My work will heavilly rely on a combination of AIPs, dll, and AI-impoving tweaks, in a way it will stay vanilla, in an other way it will drasticly change it ... hopefully for the beter (as in make the AI 'seem' smarter and more competitive)

[TheJamsh]

Not quite

I was referring to the new AIP difficulty "Merciless". Hopefully itll even keep vets on their toes.

[Steeveeo]

...merciless...O_O

So now I need 6 atanks instead of 5 ? (j/k)

But how did you set up that recycler selection? Or am I mistaken that it seems like you have a 3-option choise in your shell? (I couldnt get the recy-switch to work without a pop-up menu, the 'cmd' didnt work if I didnt sort of left the shell (by pop-up))

[TheJamsh]

it still involves using two files. The following was added to mpi3:

AND this is the little pop-up box. I tested and it does work.

[Red Spot]

Thanks, than or I made some mistake in an earlier attempt or the confirmation pop-up is enough to 'refresh' the shell (or something like that) Anyway, a good example of why combining effort works
