GENERAL: I am slow

Well actually, you still have to own the game to run the game, so it's in Activisions best interest to not give you the resources. If they gave away all the resources with the source for free, then why would another person ever purchase a copy of the game? It's the way things are done.

I beleive *.ldl are user interface specific graphics if I remember correctly, but interface graphics or any other graphic in CtP doesn't magically load by itself. They need to be called from inside the code by some routine and that was my comment about.

I don't believe there are any hard coded filenames. I think everything is loaded from scripts.

It is quite clear in my comments that I know that we won't be able to play sounds as Mr Orge said, is it not? I don't know how the Miles Sound System is utilized in a game so forgive my ignorance on that matter but perhaps the wave files within the .zfs files are played through the MSS so without it won't be possible to play them even if you have them when you compile the code after it is stripped from any reference to MSS. Unless of cource we modify the code to use DirectSound or SDL as suggested by Mr Orge or any other API that might do the job.

Exactly. Miles is a library for playing sounds, you'll need to change the code over to use a different library in order for it to play any sounds. But you'll have to remove the miles references to even compile, unless you happen to have a copy of miles.

Yes, of cource
I just thought... dreamt of Activision releasing the resources as well since it doesn't have any interest in the CtP series.

What I thought of and hoped for. Good

Once again, thanks for your valuable help

For sounds and I think for graphics too, if we can do it, we should add SDL support in the CTP sources. I very much like to see a Linux CTP2.N version

I bet you're not the only one.

Look who's birthday it is.

Geez, Locutus, I remember you when you were only a kid.

It's only a matter of time before you get as slow as MrOgre. /jk

Anyway, Happy Birthday!

Oh, I'm still a kid today, just a big one. Can't remember who said it, but "the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys"

Thanks everyone
