60MB of cut files (Now up for download!) [message #-988015] |

Edit: The files can now be downloaded HERE Thanks to Dante for the hosting
I just compared the beta version of always.dat to the final version..and guess what I found? 60MB of files that don't even exist in the final version.
A total of 1,254 files.
Of that:
81 are DDS 23 are TGA 6 are W3D 1,140 are WAV
Now, while the rest are interesting, the coolest stuff is in the .dds files. Not only did I find PT screens from things that were cut, but I also found load screens from the modes that were cut, such as there's a different load screen for Deathmatch than there is for C&C mode.
Some of the interesting things include a mobile machine gun and a suicide vest. But the more useful things are:
C&C Mode GDI Load Screen C&C Mode Nod Load Screen Deathmatch Load Screen A General Load Screen Ammo Purchase PT Icon Armor Purchase PT Icon 1 Armor Purchase PT Icon 2 Armor Purchase PT Icon 3 Health Purchase PT Icon 1 Health Purchase PT Icon 2 Health Purchase PT Icon 3 Nod Mutants PT Icon (GDI's was in the final always.dat, not Nod's) Nod Mutant PT Icon 1 Nod Mutant PT Icon 2 Nod Mutant PT Icon 3 Nod Recon Bike PT Icon GDI Mutant PT Icon 1 GDI Mutant PT Icon 2 GDI Mutant PT Icon 3
If anyone has a server, I can zip up the lot of 'em, but it'd probably eat up bandwidth pretty quick.
Other interesting things were a pic of a bandana for havoc, and icons for all those missing powerups (Tiberium Shield, etc.) [ January 29, 2003, 10:48: Message edited by: Taximes ]

Which version are you using? The original beta from beta 1? I still have my disc... But I don't know where my serial number is, lost it after I formatted a few months back.
Some of that stuff is extremely useful, and I'm definitely going to look into using it.

He can't send it to you, fool. That would violate the EULA we signed back when we were still beta testing the game. [ December 31, 2002, 14:56: Message edited by: aircraftkiller2001 ]

I don't think EA would care a less anymore, the full game was released months ago and the only reason you don't want him to send it to me is because I would get some credit for it. Just bugger off.

No, because I stated the reasons already and we're still bound to it.

I'm going to contact them about releasing the old loading screens to the public...

Expanding on the "mobile machine gun" you have up there, the full model and texture is actually still inside the current always.dat with the name "v_nod_gunemp.w3d".
I grabbed a screenshot of the Gun Emplacement.
I'm really interested in seeing this in somebody's new mods/maps. Maybe it can be developed into a controllable anti-aircraft flak turret... just an idea.
