RE: Smarter Target Acquisition - DCoder - 08.11.2011

I'm curious, how do you plan to distribute your changes?


RE: Smarter Target Acquisition - XTF - 08.11.2011

As an 'optional' update, part of my current update for RA2.


RE: Smarter Target Acquisition - Nighthawk - 09.11.2011

But won't that split the player base into those that have the optional update, and those that don't? (since I'd assume they're incompatible with one another)


RE: Smarter Target Acquisition - XTF - 09.11.2011

The idea would be to only enable the new behaviour if both (or all) players have the update.


RE: Smarter Target Acquisition - DCoder - 09.11.2011

How do you expect to detect it? By sending extra data in the game's version data message?

No, the idea is to send extra data over the p2p UDP connection after the game is started. But I haven't looked into that yet.
