I modeled a building, and the building has alot of animations....so neddless to say, everytime i use the building, i dont want to have to setup zones all day. I made a new .dat file called Always_Additon.Dat and added all of my files for the model. as it is right now, it doesnt read them from Always_Additons.Dat
Can i make this apart of the "Boot" record?
I know i can add them to Always.Dat, but i think that may disable my ability to connect to WOL

You can include an additional mix file though and use that to store your animations or whatever. I think it works like proxy bones, just make proxy bones in gmax where you want the animation (you know about the proxies by now I guess?) and then make an empty modfoler with no *.lsd(aka map files) file, but just your tile setup (Tile > add temp > my_tile). The mix should go in the same directory as your map.
I am guessing this is how it works, other thank that, you will need to track down NeoSaber or NodBugger (Can't remember which one of them did the building destruction animations, they have similar names) and ask him how he did it.

Are those your models? Very nice if they are. ARe they for a mod you are working on or just for fun? If they are for no mod you should think about have them replace different models in normal Renegade and release thenm as little model packs. Just a thought.

*Ahem*....

that can be done via a game.exe hack, simply hexedit always.dat to *.dat, not that hard, but then you have a different version of game.exe floating around, and it does screw with some things

I wouldn't use that method though as you would have a floating exe going around screwing eveyones game up. Unless you are developing a total conversion mod like RenAlert with its own exe, use the other method.

It does work. Neosaber or Nodbugger (whicever did the building destruction animations) made a map and used a seperate mix file. You are suggesting that just because you HEX edited the EXE and it didn't work (although it worked fine when I tested it), the other idea won't work. The two things are no where near related and the second one does actually work as it has been tested, the terrain.w3d bug is 100% evidence of this fact.

 That normally helps. It's like testing the scripts.dll for 5 hours then relising you have been using the wrong version of the dll. It's happened to me a few times, even though i'm sure i extracted the dll directly from the zip.
