I have recently DLed this cool little mod. I am wondering if any of you are having the same problem.
I saved the .zip file, moved it to my Local Disc(:C)-Program Files-StarCraft and unzipped it there. I attempted to run the Gundam-Craft-like Game, and it prompted me for a CD disc, because there were files that needed to be read, and it was missing those files. I tried to run the .exe in the SC program files multiple times, 1 with the SCBW disc and one with the Original SC disc.
The only problems the Readme stated was that the mod itself could not be run on Battle.net securely, and I can't even get the .exe to run.
Thank-you, and move this to the appropriate Forum if needed.. I couldnt decide whether to put in SCBW forum or General Forum.
if you need the readme, just ask me and Ill post some SSs and yje readme document.
My SC is comepletely updated, thank-you, but source: http://www.genesoul.net/gundamcentury/ I can play the original as a standalone program, its just the GCMod gives me errors.
There is a "StarCraft (Windows)" a "Installer Tome 2.mpq" a "Installer (Thats an icon)" and an "Autorun". No .exe. Starcraft (Windows) is an application, though
Recently this was updated at our forums (source) and I don't see the need to create a new topic nor contribute to the sea of topics that is TL.net with something this trivial, so yes, this is a good reason for the bump!
simple one-click exe that can be run from anywhere.
replays! Share your GCentury games with others.
right-click rally point
Gundam Century text strings imported to all of the standard patch_rt languages
Custom Insane AI script (Racine3.0 AI has been added to the file to challenge the veteran player.)
From readme:
...Gundam Century has simply been reformatted so the modern Starcraft enthusiast can enjoy this timeless classic. While the original mod functions perfectly fine in 1.07, downgrading to this format is something most players have no idea how to do. Furthermore, owners of digital copies have additional obstacles should they want to play anything prior to 1.15.2. And so the mod was updated to 1.16.1 paying close attention to the original memory changes. (I.e. Terran buildings don't lift off, templars have an attack button, archons are not available to the player, etc.)
* Difficulty Levels and the BWAILauncher: Racine3.0 is the default AI introduced into this mod to challenge the experienced player, but might seem a bit too difficult or too easy for some players. Use the BWAILauncher's "set target mpq" option to inject any traditional SC aiscript (maybe even your own creation!) for a new experience.
* See source for more info on changing difficulty levels.
gnaix brought to my attention that the .dat files were all screwed up. Doh! My bad. I remember having to do some file manipulation as the corsair was leaving mutalisks behind when using his weapon. I must have included my test files by accident. Please don't be shy to report any other blunders.
Anywho, fixed now for v1.2 Same download link as before: GCAI.zip ~Chowskies.
I noticed that you can build Protoss buildings outside the range of the Pylon. Is this supposed to be a bug? Also some units seem to have the wrong model. The Terran Wraith has the model of the Protoss Scout, the Protoss Carrier has the model of the Terran Wraith, etc.
ah I see my buddy didn't put the mod I emailed him in the right folder on our server so the link was still old v1.1 file.
Should be v1.2 try now
and yeah some of the buildings were lifted of their psi requirement. I think cannons were all that were needed for pylon aura. 3 ppl I played with convinced me (threatened to kill me) that there wasn't enough room because the buildings were so big and so they were lifted of that requirement.
This is very nice. I still have 2 more questions though.
The first version I downloaded today (the one with the wrong unit model problem I mentioned) seems to have reverted unit stats to BW numbers. For example, the Terran Marine had only 40 HP and SCV 60 HP.
Version 1.2 fixes the problem but all the unit stats are back to the old Gundam Century ones where the Marine has 110 HP and the Goliath has a ton of plasma shield + HP.
Was the reversion to BW-like stats never intended for the 1.16.1-compatible version?
Also are the High Templars in Gundam Century unable to merge into Archons?

That is because the units.dat file was missing from mod after fixing the corsair mutalisk image problem. You were playing standard SC stats. -- tho sounds as tho some may actually prefer the more balanced stats <<
Also are the High Templars in Gundam Century unable to merge into Archons?
As far as I could tell from the original, they do not. Buildings do not lift-off as well as you may have noticed.
So imbalanced! Or I should say that Neo-Zeon is overpowered in general.
Seems to be the consensus. Mod was built many many years ago, so the designer prob had little concept of balance back then. The bottom line tho is this mod (and most mods for that matter) will be mostly played in Single Player vs. the AI. And so balance means nothing in single player. Just enjoy it for what it is.
By the way the game still crashes for me after 15 minutes or so.
Others have alerted me of the game crashing vs. the AI as well. It is possible that some of the units the AI is making are not very stable, but I have no control over that. I would have to go through the mod and isolate computer units to rectify this and am just too busy with my own projects to investigate at this time. Doesn't mean I won't someday. I don't expect Player vs. Player to experience any such problems tho as the mod was played a lot back in the day. But who knows. I watched a few Ai vs. Ai replays as well as played a few games and not all suffered from a crash so its kinda a crap shot. Will put on my list of things to check out.
Hi Bajadulce I have some questions regarding the mods :
1> I remembered that in the first Gundam Century 10 year ago the wraith was a real big badass spaceship but now it is reduced to a small ship. Did you guy change that ? I need the big ship back, it is much more beautiful.
2> It seems that there are many changes to the original mod that made it much les fun, because the original valkeries can shoot both air and ground, tanks can shoot air, and science vessel spells were much more desvastating... It seems someone did a lot of nerfing and made the game less fun... I remembered wining with an imba valkery + vessel fleet, now i cannot do it... sad...
Make sure you have v1.2 (will say so in readme.txt). sounds as tho you might have downloaded the prior version that got uploaded with the wrong .dat files by mistake.
@ nerfing/changing mod: I haven't done anything to the mod other than convert it to 1.16.1 and added Racine's 3.0 T&P AI.

Thanks, that was it. The prior version was using BW stats and such... that's why the mod seemed to be nerfed, sorry for that.
