A: Those are not really maps, they are actually map profiles that define the correct AI profile to use so that you'll get a better AI. Most of the maps you see are from TA, TA:Core Contingency and probably TA:Battle Tactics as well. There are also some mission-only map profiles (that has proper stating points to allow players to play skirmish/mutliplayer games with mission-only maps). If you don't see a preview screenshot when selecting the map, it means you don't have that map. It is that simple.

A: Do you really use that unit? If many people are using that unit, i won't mind including it and removing other units, just let me know at the TAUCP Central discussion forums about this.

A: TAUCP has over 230 3rd party units, that is why it's over 18 megs in size.

A: To get up to 10 players in a skirmish game, do this :

When in the skirmish room, type asterisk (shift+8), after that type the roman numeral number of the amount of players you want.

For example, if you want 10 players in skirmish mode, you'd type "x", and for five players you'd type "v".

1 = i ; 2 = ii ; 3 = iii ; 4 = iv ; 5 = v ; 6 = vi ; 7 = vii ; 8 = viii ; 9 = ix ; 10 = x.

A: If you are running the frontend on Win NT, Win 2000 or Win XP Operating Systems, you need to be an administrator in order for the frontend to work, because the frontend reads and writes values to the Windows Registry.

A: TA is a very old game and it does not support full sound acceleration. You need to decrease your sound playback sound acceleration via the Sounds & Audio Devices in the control panel (or anything similar). Click on the advanced button in the Sound Playback section and click on the performance tab. Reduce the hardware acceleration to BASIC acceleration.

A: Yes, TAUCP has been tested with TAMEC's latest HPI PACK and no known problems were found.

A: There are too many 3rd party units around, what you see here in TAUCP are mostly quality units that have been personally hand-picked. If you feel that a certain unit should be added to TAUCP, let me know through the forums. You should provide the URL to where the unit can be found.

A: This is fairly normal when you are upgrading TAUCP to a newer version, some units get removed which will cause such errors to occur. You should then delete that old savegame as it will not work with the new version of TAUCP.

A: You need the Visual Basic 6 Service Pack 5 runtime files. You can get it at TAUCP Central

A: If you have found a bug, first try to recall what you did that may have crashed TA. If possible try to be clear and concise, include a savegame if you have to. Then post your details to the discussion forums or mail it directly to me at mlbl@planetannihilation.com

A: It should be, as long as all players have the same version of TAUCP and the same AI profile the game should work fine.

A: Under rare circumstances, if TAUCP doesn't work, you can choose to delete your TA folder AFTER uninstalling, then do a full reinstall OR you can install another copy of TA with TAUCP and see if it works.

A: No, if you have Boneyards installed, TAUCP will not work at all.

A: The reason why TAUCP is free is because i'm not allowed to sell it as it'll be against the law to do so and not to mention that the 3rd party units in TAUCP were distributed by their original authors for FREE without any charge. TAUCP does not contain spyware unlike some 'FreeWare' applications on the Internet that spy on your surfing habits and stuff like that.
