Repacking totala2.hpi and totala4.hpi will also save a lot of space, as they use lower compression format HPI files than TA:CC and v3.1c patch. Repacking TA+TA:CC+v3.1c patch saves >20mb space and loads faster.ĭON'T put the 6 extra units into the repacked totala1.hpi file - it causes all sorts of incompatibilities with TA Bugfix, UberHack, unit packs, some maps, etc. How to repack TA's main data files to save space and gain load speed: THIS sites also have Cavedog maps as individual downloads: This file contains a LOT of TA:CC + other Cavedog add-on maps: fixall in game if it's a problem.Īll 6 extra post v3.1c patch units in 1 UFO file:

fixall by default - it generates extra network traffic, which isn't good if your modem is already overloaded. Remove ALL older Cavedog unit UFO files, as they are all inside rev31.gp3 (the v3.1c patch) - leaving them behind causes random grayed-out units.

This is ONLY needed by TA Demo Recorder if you use the. Removing TADEMO.UFO from TA's totala dir will also speed the game up very slightly and lessen the chance of random grayed-out units. If you look closely at their names, they refer to now-dead online services. Mptaext.dll, online.dll, tadwngox.dll, taheatx.dll, takalix.dll, tamplayx.dll, tatenx.dll, tawirepx.dll If you want to speed up TA, remove these DLL files from the totala dir: Only DLLs needed: dplayx.dll, reporter.dll, smackw32.dll, spank.dllĮven the one with the word online in it isn't needed :pĭplayx.dll and spank.dll are part of TA Demo Recorder change 32C0 to B001ĭelete/move unused DLLs from Totala directory: TA v3.1c CD key break: in totala.exe AT: 0001CBA3. This site may make it possible to have more than 1 online TA player on the same IP behind a router - if not in the SAME TA game then probably at least in different TA games:Īnyone want to know the quick-and-dirty TA no-cd hack? TA also requires another set of ports to be open, these are ports 2300 through 2400, thats all TA apears to need.įor GBL, you also need to forward ports 77 - probably only TCP is needed.įor ICQ, you need to route data on TCP port 5190 to the IP as well. The direct X ports are 47624 for DirectX 7, and 6073 for DirectX 8, you may or may not need to open them both (I use 7 and only have the 47624 port open).

You need to set it to route packets from portsĢ300-2400 (TCP/UDP inbound/outbound ),Īnd 47624 (TCP inbound/outbound ) Configuring a router for playing TA online + other TA tweaks
