Can I change my own team parameters in a modem game without my oponent knowing ? Or does his ini file or whatever need changing too ? Thanks for your help. Bill Trueman, Billericay, Essex, ENGLAND E-Mail address - bill...@dial.pipex.com

I guess whenyou are hooking up the computer checks the game.dat file and a few others to see if they are exactly the same. If not, it doesn't allow you to play.

Also, even if you get around the bug, the cheats will only apply to your side of the connection...your people on his side will still be shooting the regular weapons and have the same life. Should make things interesting. This is at least what I've seen. -- Ben F.S. Herd http://www.txdirect.net/users/cremer

Cheeris -Stuart ps. when you start the multiplayer game, you will be set up as if you were playing NOD, don't alter the team type within the game at all, otherwise problems might occur.
