There are various refrences to UFO's and Tornado's in the language files lol. :P

Code: Select all

alien_attack                        *C destroyed by Alien Attack
alien_invasion                      ALIEN INVASION!
tornado_warning                     TORNADO WARNING


Code: Select all

unit_tornado                        tornado
unit_saucer                         alien ship


Code: Select all

message_tornadodeath                Tornado Dissipated




Code: Select all

tooltip_gameoption_enableworldevents        If enabled random events will occur during the game


Also, if your bored enough, just rename saucer.bmp with bomber.bmp or fighter.bmp.

So yeah - is cool, but which file is it? Where can you set the server preferences? I mean all the other server preferences would also be nice to set. So that not always the server is called "New Defcon Server" or whatever it says if you start a new game... :-/

Haha, no not a single Saucer or Tornado, but my game did surprisingly crash soon after defcon 1... <_<

Can any of you guys spill your "world.dat" i wanna take a look, there's secret messages in them that could help. :)
NOTE: The contents of world.dat are encrypted little messages from IV. I'll decrypt them for you...

Essentially if you enable it, and it ACTUALLY does something, it will work on all clients.
But that comes down to the "Actually does something." Scenario.

Get in a game with someone, and set it to speed level 4, and see if u ever sight a tornado or a ufo, if you do, chuck a PAUSE/RT immediatly and take a screenie . :)

I've been trying to sight one with the AI, but the game finishes to fast whether i win or not... :(

mkay, I'll just leave it enabled and not tell anyone when they join my server.
If weird ensues I'll probably wind up who ever is playing and then come clean after they have been convinced 'its all in their head'

No, you'll get a synchronisation error.

It doesn't work anyway. (defcon crashes when an alien appears)
Here is my signature. Make of it what you will.

As far as I've seen so far, there are tornado images, but not any UFO images.
