23rd Of May 2002 - Nanotowers Patch

According to Maurie Daly, the nanotowers will cause a crash if it is put on patrol and the game is saved and reloaded. I have made a small patch to fix this bug, so here it is :

PC Owners (Normal/OTA Version) :

PC Owners (TA:Mutation Version) :

MAC Owners:

You need the patch whether you have downloaded TAUCP 1.7 or not as i don't want to spend my time re-uploading the files. For both PC Owners (Normal/OTA Version only) and Mac Owners, just extract the file to your TA folder and that's it. TA:M users need to run the setup program inside the zip to install the patch.

21st Of May 2002 - TAUCP 1.7 Released ! TA:M Version ready !

It's finally here, TAUCP 1.7 is now ready for downloading. There aren't many changes, but the main ones were the removal of Primus and Omicron as many have requested. They were replaced by Magma's Macross Kbot and Mayhem INC's Rebel tank.

Besides that, TAUCP now includes a TA:M version. TA:M users will have to download the extra 6.9mb Rev31.gp3 setup program to install the modified Rev31.gp3 file (for TAUCP). Other than that, both Normal/OTA and TA:M users are actually downloading the same file.

This was made possible by simply allowing the installer software to extract the files in different locations and have different filenames accordingly. By doing this, i manage to save a lot of upload time (my upload speed is only 11 - 12k per sec). Here are the files :

 PC Owners (Normal/OTA Version):

PC Owners (TA:Mutation Version):

AND here are the files for Mac Owners :

When installing, you will be prompted to select the installation type. Just select the appropriate version accordingly and proceed. TA:M users MUST make sure that they install BOTH the rev31.gp3 file via the Rev31.gp3 Setup for TAUCP 1.7 program along with the main TAUCP 1.7 setup.

So in total, TA:M users should download around 23 - 24 MB worth of files. The order of installation does NOT matter, just as long as you install them. Non-TA:CC users will NOT be able to use the TA:M version of TAUCP. You can still try, but i can't guarantee that it'll work.

TA:M Users : Make sure that you read the readme file carefully on how to enable TAUCP in TA:M.

13th Of May 2002 - TA:M Version?

More and more people are urging me to release a TA:M version of TAUCP and i have decided to release a TA:M version sometime soon. I can't confirm when it'll be released, but it should be around this week or the next week.

Another reminder that i can't stop repeating : FilePlanet has FREE PUBLIC Servers. If you scroll down the page that you saw the FilePlanet PRIVATE SERVER (that requires you to pay), you will get at least TWO public servers where you can download TAUCP or the MAPS from.

9th Of May 2002 - TAUCP 1.6 Released

After weeks of fine tuning and testing, TAUCP 1.6 is finally here available for everyone to download. This new version adds a total of 6 or 7 new units (while removing some of them in the process), fixes some small bugs, more balancing tweaks and adds some new build pics. Thanks goes out to Lunaris - who is also TAUCP's official beta tester, for his timely suggestions and bug reports.

I would like to remind you that TAUCP is available for FREE, you don't have to pay for the FilePlanet private server to download TAUCP. If you scroll down the page that showed the FilePlanet Private Server, you should be able to see two or three PUBLIC Servers where you can download TAUCP for FREE. If the servers are full, you have to wait in line to download TAUCP, unless you own a FilePlanet Private Server. As always, here are the files :

AND here are the files for Mac Owners :

 Notice :
If the links above don't work and give you a File Not Found, click on them again - don't refresh the page. Off and on this happens to FilePlanet, and i'm not sure why.

Don't forget to check out the TAUCP Manual after you have installed TAUCP, it contains lots of useful information and the most important section of the manual is the "Changes Made To Gameplay" and the "Version History". Both PC and MAC users will have access to the TAUCP Manual but in different formats. PC Users will get the CHM or HTML Help format while the Mac users will get the Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

After two months working on TAUCP extensively, real-life has finally taken over - i am now plagued with assignments and projects at college and so in other words, the development of TAUCP will be slowed down. But this does NOT mean the end of TAUCP in any way, i will continue to update TAUCP when i have the time to do so.

If you have encountered any problems while playing with TAUCP, i strongly suggest you check out the forums first. Chances are your question(s) have already been answered. Suggestions on how to improve TAUCP are always welcomed, as such i would prefer you to post them through the forums instead of directly e-mailing to me if possible. Have fun with TAUCP !
