Hey, nice to see that one of my videos actually did something worth a damn! Though, you probably could've chosen one of the newer ones, these ones are kinda outdated :P

If the alpha ever pops up, Reapers gotta be in it. It just wouldn't be Machines without them.

@X-Lord Strange, it should ask you to jump to the system in which the planet is, then you would use the orbit command on the planet, then you would launch one of the pods in that vessel.

I just tested it and it is intended to look like this:

Thanks @Radler!

@bilal
Thank you! I thought that the original one needed to be re-designed. Maybe something similar to actual plant pods would be interesting.
We could start a thread for seeding ships!

Well, I don't know why they did scrap it... if they did. But I'm almost sure it was replaced by Treachery, because of some demo files that hint Virus would actually be something like Treachery.

I'm not really sure...

More "Machines-related" applications for these wheels!

The video is quite interesting for watching these wheels in action:

@Encrypted If you're going to put a personal list on the public net, you should use your personal discussion page, your sandbox page (wikipedia gives one; I don't know about wikia), pastebin, google docs, yourworldoftext.com, a forum thread, etc. It's misleading, and a little conceited, to put your ideas as their own article on a wiki about the game that was already released. With all due respect, a wiki page is not exactly a place for opinions, sketches, ideas, etc.

@X-Lord That was actually a mistake, although I'm playing with the idea to switch out the eyes depending on the health or command.

So if the health is low = sad eyes, even if its a military unit.

If command is 'attack', then angry eyes! and so forth

Try this mach1.met. Just copy it it your game folder. Don't forget to backup the original file.

Play only new skirmish maps with:

default starting resources low starting tech-level fixed position

Every skirmish map default BMUs is 50k. Low tech-level means low for you and medium for the AI. Fixed position makes the AI always ally with each other. Constructors and technicians are faster and better.

If you want any other enhancements just follow Judas modding guide. It's simple and can let you adjust the skirmish levels to be quite challanging :)

What worked for @BeVeRenT- and what he forgot to mention was the IPXwrapper http://www.solemnwarning.net/ipxwrapper/ and hamachi network. This allowed him to choose "IPX CONNECTION FOR DIRECTPLAY" in the multiplayer options.

Glad to hear :)

Try this AntiLag patch and see if the connection is more stable: AntiLag.reg

I just tried both Wine 2.0.1 (stable) and 2.9 (Devel) on a MacBook Air running Sierra 10.12.5, but I was not able to get past the main menu except on my first try, due to the mouse cursor being trapped in a large square in roughly the top 1/4 of the screen. The first try I was able to get all the way to the menu for the first mission of the training, but I wasn't able to launch it due to the second disk not being mounted. I'll keep trying, since I really want to get this to work.

the police in norway is overworked so copyright issues is mostly overlooked. it is available from machinesthegame.co.uk but that is the version that is corrupt.

if i ever get the card installed i will test it myself. i have a gtx 950 card but i had some trouble getting it working. i think i solved the problem but i got tired of it and as a result i have not installed it since.

@M123
Ah, probably would have been a good idea to read about what Direct Play was a framework for then, haha. Weird that my rectangles disappeared, then.

The nuclear winter would be an interesting feature. Yet, I'm not sure about the "experience, economies of scale, etc." involving the manufacturing of nukes. If you want it to be a true "game-ending" condition, then simply make that nuke more destructive (and expensive).

@Hayden
JabbR looks interesting.

While I don't like webclients, I just saw the ability to display inline content and i don't know anymore lol.

@Judas o.o great
Wish I've had my hard disk, though.

It is quite interesting the fact that the storyline changed at least 4 times!

@paperpanzer

Having problems here. Dragging and dropping the .exe file doesn't seem to be doing anything in the setup window. The "search" tab won't find the program (most of the listed entries are in symbol font and all the help documents appear to be in Japanese). The "patch" button also remain grayed out.

Hmm... not sure what would prevent the drag and drop function from working. Maybe it's a Windows 8+ thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Machines can be added to the list of games in _inmm dll setup by editing the config file:

Navigate to the _inmm install folder (e.g. C:\_inmm\). Open _inmmcnf.ini with Notepad / your preferred text editor. Copy the below text and paste it at the end of the file. [Machines] Group=Acclaim RegKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Directplay\Applications\Machines Value=CurrentDirectory File=Machines.exe Save _inmmcnf.ini and exit Notepad. Run _inmmcnf.exe. Machines should now appear under the "Acclaim" group in the Patch tab. It can also be found using the "Find" button (type "Machines" in the box). Assuming the registry entries are correct, selecting Machines in the list and clicking "Patch" should work...

Coincidence I guess. Happened before a few times haha.

@Encrypted
Now it's my turn... yay.gorilla! Hahaha I'm glad it worked =)
