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.
Put the CD in and open the CAB files there.

Taximes, if you need a server to host this ZIP file, providing as ACK said it won't violate any contracts, contact me over AIM at DarkAspenth. I'll enable ZIP files for my file upload script and you can upload it. I have unlimited bandwidth as well, so "eating it up quickly" should matter not.
EDIT: After talking to ACK, I now know that you uploading the ZIP to my server for distribution would violate the NDA and EULA you testers signed. Oh well. I'll still hold the offer in the event EA gives you permission to give it to us. [ January 02, 2003, 17:36: Message edited by: DarkAspenth ]

just a confirmation......most of the stuff listed in the "alwaysdifferencelog" is actually on the first release of the cd too.....minus the mutant cameos and a few other little things....but most of it is on my cd too....and i was never a beta tester......just a beta map tester{my own beta maps}
I have looked over the models and it seems that some of them listed in the "alwaysdifferencelog" are actually still in the latest version{patched from my cd}....just slightly different file compression.......there is a ton of stuff you can use right on your cd.....beta or final versions.....you can actually go back into the .mix maps and extract trees,rocks,walls,.....all kinds of goodies that didnt work in the commando editor before till i started extracting them from the single player levels and re-associating the file paths correctly.
Also.....someone should tell greg hjelstrom to fix the .tga colordepths in the always and always2.dat files......it seems that a lot of crashes in commando editor are caused by the fact that when they slapped this baby together someone tripped over their shoelaces and forgot to make all the colordepths 24 or 32 bit and uniformly scaling a few of the textures.....
these are some of the errors that i see regularly in commando that should be brought to gregs attention for the benifit of us all.

Well, if there are files that are in the renegade demo and not in the full version, someone post them, since there was no NDA that goes with the demo, it should be ok to post anything from the demo not in the full game

The demo always.dat won't help me much. My main center of interest are the beta loading screens, as I would like to try and replicate them, making them into usable loading screens for the retail version. However, I'm aware that replicating them is against the NDA/EULA, and since the demo had the same loading screen, what's the point? Thus, until EA officially releases them or lifts the NDA from the beta and someone could send me the full size images, then I'm not going to attempt it.

no no no, you took my post wrong. As i recall, the demo doesn't have the loading screens but it does have the ammo PT icon and the health PT icon, along with some others like the GDI mutant, and other things that you didn't mention.

ummmm.....hello?????.....did everybody miss all the pics posted on the first page??????
They are actually quite close to the original .tga image resolution.
I didnt miss a single one he posted that i didnt already have......if you are looking at it and the picture quality is good....you already have downloaded it
He didnt even resize them.....they are still in the original format.......resizing them is what kills the resolution unless done properly.
I saved them to a folder and batch converted them back with highest resolution output set.....right back into tga format....ready to recycle at any time.
cncg_load.jpg=81.6 KB(900Kb uncompressed) cncg_load.tga=900.0 KB
If you clicked on every picture that he posted then you already have downloaded the same picture he has(the quality of the picture hasnt been degraded much.....it's hardly noticeable....it's just in a verry compact format.
He did a top notch job on the batch format conversion....theyre not over compressed.
Overcompression is what degrades or distorts the resolution of a .jpg image.
Nice work Taximes
Eric.

He can't send it to you, fool. That would violate the EULA we signed back when we were still beta testing the game.
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.

That would be nice, Mobius
And SGT.May, I suppose someone could use those PT icons if they wanted to convert them back, but the loadscreens were shrunk down to 640x480 and put together from their original four piece, 1024x1024 resolution.
