Remember the Splinter Factions??

[anti146]

Redfred, could you send me those factions too?

anti147@hotmail.com

I'd love to play with more. I DLed ones from Helium pond's site but only one faction works and the others fudge up my smacx. The only faction that works is the Gebazzo, any others put in there make the faction selection thing in-game dissapear. Or did I do it wrong?

RedFred:

If you send me the zipped files I'll be happy to add a page to the SC site for downlaoding them - save wear and tear on your e-mail system

Hey RedFred. It would be cool to download from the SC site if that would be easier.

Are there many multiplayer games with cumstom factions or are they all done with official factions? I could see where custom faction would present a problem. I have played so long with custom factions that the other day I forced myself to just play with the original seven and found out that it was pretty exciting still. Nothing like facing down Yang and Santiago at the same time.

Well, here is what I did.
under #CUSTOM FACTIONS I put in the faction names just like this (like the instructions said on the web site)

#CUSTOM FACTIONS
GEBAZZU, GEBAZZU
PHS, PHS
RANGERS, RANGERS
SYNDCT, SYNDCT

...that's how I done it, and only the "bug" faction works.

I'm fairly certain spacing is important in the format so it needs to be kept the same. Check out the smac\x columns and spacing for them and do it the same. For example:

GEBAZZU, GEBAZZU
PHS, PHS
RANGERS, RANGERS
ATLANTS, ATLANTS

Then make sure to leave spaces between these and text before and after as the smac\x factions are. Make sure you save this information formatted and it should work.

Splinter files have been sent direct. Googlie, I still have your diskettes if you want to boost them to the net at a later date.

Anti,

I have 6 of the custom factions from the Network Node working on my PC. Maybe your problem is in the alphx.txt changes needed to add the factions.
