  1. Good Evening everyone. I am attempting to upload a GIF Profile picture using GIFY. The website that allows you to turn a video into a GIF for a profile picture. The only problem is the server only allows GIF images lower than 0.94296847 something MB. Is it possible to increase the limit or would this lead to problems for you guys. Idk how much GIF images typically are. However my image is a little larger I would guess in size because I converted from FRAPS to AVI to GIF. If there is a website that makes smaller GIFs and it is a problem from this website then I would gladly use a suggested site as well. Thank you.
  2. Being honest gameplay wise, any C&C was just not as good as Company of Heroes. The only thing you're going to do in almost any C&C Title is mass buildings or units. This being said it very heavily makes up for it with - Incredible soundtracks every game. - Meaningful campaigns - Legacy - Very good story Arc/Lore - Interesting dynamics and with Tiberian sun at least... very good, well built environments. - Very creative units - Easy pick up and play (especially for an RTS type game) - Those old video cut scenes. With this said, C&C is able to do these things and no other RTS game has come close or made the same impact. If you're playing alone then C&C as a whole really is a 10/10. But in my argument I believe that Company of Heroes really captures a perfectly balanced realistic gameplay. Furthermore it has a lot more tactics to be applied with every single unit and every single game no matter what does not feel similar. The typical massing of a single unit has also been for the most part eliminated and you're required to have very different units come together to win at times and adapt to what's happening. However, COH cannot make up or do what has been listed above for C&C. Therefor I think it comes down to preference on what you're looking for in an RTS Game. COH also really only shines when you're on multiplayer as opposed to C&C where it rocks straight out of the box.
  3. Interested in knowing other people’s opnions as well. Games as a whole and especially RTS games I feel are not really advertised ever in media. Have you ever played Company of Hero’s? I accidentally discovered the game while at Target. Ironically it’s been the highest rated RTS game and it’s the one I voted for. With it being so easy to get stuck on a game I wonder how many people here have actually played it
  4. An old abandoned game with a loyal player base and unique gameplay? (APB) Nothing wrong with that!
  5. To be 100% fair supreme commander was the “Spiritual Successor” of Total Annhilation. I felt that with the technological breakthroughs, legend and mystic of this game it would only be proper to put this in place as such an earth shattering RTS game. Of course it could be biased due to only seeing the game played. But I thought it be best. Halo wars was also mediocre I heard. It never hit my radar for any interest. However options as you can see are and will be updated as people suggest more options!
  6. Fixed. Never played it but have heard a bit about it. Maybe it's civilization I'm thinking about.
  7. Good Evening everyone. I have a legit question I've been thinking about recently. More often then not, there seems to not be a lot of RTS Games coming out or at least any of particular interest to me. It could possibly be that I have not been looking or paying to much attention but I've also been stuck on the old school ones as well. In my theory, RTS games have come down to Twitch/Competitive Gaming type games which means the quality has been drastically decreased to the point of the story being non-existent, horrid or irrelevant. I also believe that It can be agreed that 1995-2006 was a really good golden decade for RTS games in general. With this said I want to know which RTS game is the best, examining not just the game but a lot of other things such as What makes a great RTS game? Total Annihilation Company of Hero's Starcraft I have never played this and I’m sorry. It is good and popular enough that I’ve put it on this list. I am sure someone can vouch for it Command and Conquer (Any game) Star Wars Empire at War (w/ expansions included) I understand obviously there may be other titles that I may have missed out but these are what I found to be the best and that I have played so far. If your choice is not listed on here then feel free to comment your favorite RTS game and what makes it so special!
  8. To be fair alot of it came down to lag as well. Towards the end you can see me lagging in the Refinery alot.
  9. I’m so glad i’m not the only one that noticed that weird ass voiceover

  11. Goddamn... that shit is tight. There is a lot of talk about a cruiser now. Is it going to be the same model and layout as in Lunar Paradox?

  13. Author: Threve Skill level: 2 Good Evening all. Ever wanted to change the color of a Tank or create the V2 Missle into a Carola Crayon? This is the tutorial for you! Give me 20 minutes of your time and I will show you how to change the color of anything easily along with giving you knowledge skills in editing APB. I will also be including an advanced tutorial that will show you how to go further in-depth and really create some crazy cool shit if you'd like. I will also do my best to keep it as simple and straightforward as possible so you're not here forever. But first thing is first.. Part 1 (Introduction and Tools) Part 2 (Getting and extracting the shit that we need) Part 3 (Editing the actual file and uploading it to your game) Part 4 (The Finish) Now do keep in mind that there is an endless world of possibilities to editing textures. If you would like to make one part yellow and another purple you can simply select half the picture and paint it purple then the other half yellow. To make specific part a different color you just simply select that part on the texture and paint it like so. It may be a bit difficult to tell whats what on the file because everything is sort of just exploded so you make have to make a part yellow then test it out in-game and see where it lands or what part was colored. However, working with paint.net constantly will allow you to experiment new things and also do it alot faster. This may have taken you 15 minutes or so but after a while it'll be cut down to 2 minutes. Practice makes perfect. Part 5 (After some basic practice. Let's turn it up a notch and make some really crazy cool stuff) APB_Editing_Tools.7z
  14. Will do. I wrote one a while back on BHP and DanPaul88 added it. It’s long lost since but i’ll Write one today.
  15. I will post a complete in depth tutorial on how to edit textures in Paint.Net tomorrow. It will show you how to do all kinds of crazy cool shit for APB and make anything look how you want it. Will tag you when done.
  16. Holy shit wow! Will there be any flashing Navigation Lights on the MIG as is typically seen commonly on aircraft?
  17. Utilizing Paint.net is best for modifying dds. Textures. It's free, easy and I would highly recommend it. @Mihaita12 Also there is a August 30th meeting about TSR so I wouldn't give up hope just yet. If you'd like to help work on the game to speed up process there are plenty of tutorials to help get you started.
  18. Very well said. Thank you for everything.
  19. @Dghelneshi Wow! Holy shit. That was incredible and extremely helpful. Thank you for all of that. I have to ask then, all the information you listed is helpful especially if building a custom computer but if you had $2,000 and knowing what I asked, is there a specific laptop that you would buy? I would use your information to build a custom one if I could but that’s out of the question. Also the HDD has to be at least 500 GB or above. Of course with this price range we will get that I am sure. In terms of noise it’s not a massive concern at all. Multitasking and rendering seem to be the priorities thus far. Also there will be no video games played on this at all (which is lucky for you guys because I wouldn’t suck at APB with a $2K computer). But thank you once again. Extremely helpful. I also read the information over and compared the two contenders (Alienware and the Asus Laptop Enstien posted) it seems that the Alienware has better graphics handling as it should for games but slower task completion, HDD memory and RAM. Idk what to go with or which computers are out there if there are any better. Like I don’t want to pick up an HP for $2K with all the good specs but they are shit reliability.
  20. Incredibly helpful information. Thank you extremely much to everyone. Will keep you guys posted.
