    I've had no problems with shortcuts - just create a shortcut to "Terran.exe" for SMAC and to "Terranx.exe" for SMAX

      The shortcuts are fine it's the menu that SMACX brings up when you load it.

        You can change the default screen resolution from the .ini file - see the readme.txt for instructions

          Needed or not, it was a post of exceptional clarity, HP. With all the new people browsing the boards it never hurts to bring this up.

              One alternative to not having the aliens land when playing X games is to replace the txt files with a human faction or some vanilla custom faction. This way you can still do randoms and not know what your facing.

                I think Whitelephants is referring to the menu that comes up when you load the cd and have autoplay on. I use shortcuts directly to the two executable files to avoid the problems associated with SMAC/X changing my resolution.

                  Sik, you hit the nail on the head. When I wrote, "short cuts" I meant the shortcuts I created on the desktop.

                    You can also disable the opening movie in the .ini
                    Speed the loadup. See the SMACX handbook for the details.
