Hi folks!
Since the 1.7 release two weeks ago was basicly a test version with a bit of stuff unfinished, its time for another update - TWA 1.71.
Most notable is, of course, the finished translation (thanks again to Golan for his help) - if you still find any cases where there is a wrong or missing text, please report them in the comment section for TWA.
Scrin
-changed Devastator Warship damage type from SIEGE to GRENADE
-removed Reaper aircraft
-moved Archons to Mutant Hovel and gave them a different texture
-changed Spore Pod back to their old settings - they dont generate money anymore and have no buildlimit
-removed the "Freezy Ray" abillity from Eraser
GDI

-edited GDI Rocketeers, Nod Fanatics & Scrin Archons:
-all three are now addvaible trough the Mutant Hovel
-each of the 3 units can only be build by their own faction
Known Problems
The "Absorb Infantry" ability might not work correctly on infantry squads that are taking cover near buildings.
However, while the infantry might become unselectable it can still be killed and the epic unit gets the weapon as it is supposted to.
Thanks to Madin for pointing out this problem.
Please keep in mind that 1.71 was designed as a bug fix for 1.7 - it is not intended to add anything new but rather finish the translation and polish 1.7.
Most of the reported bugs have been fixed, but some things needed to be disabled (the "Quad Turret" upgrade comes to mind) because the problems were far bigger than expected and solving them would have delayed 1.71 for quite some time.
This does not mean that there won't be another version of TWA - there is still a lot of ideas & suggestions for later further updates, but... well, how did Einstein put it? "Time will tell, sooner or later... time will tell..."
Now I can test this properly!
Haha! I just downloaded the previous version yesterday.. I wasn't expecting this :D
Well, you might want to download it again - there was a small bug I overlooked in the previous upload. :P
If you have downloaded 1.71, please download it again.
I re-uploaded it because there was a graphic bug with the Archon shields (or the lack thereof).
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I dont see any download marked 1.71, did you just upload it under 1.7?
The Mastodon is kinda completly awful too, and it's firing railguns but it sounds like it fires grenades or something. Also, no ground impact effect, the shot just vanishes on the ground.
also i dont see 1.71 for download
I guess it needs a new authorisation because I updated the file.
How u download this new mod update?
Does the translation also includes the missing string defines to some objects, Stygs? I had given some to you, unless if Golan did include them.
Most of them should be fixed, but it looks like we missed one or two (like the rage gen).
How do you update this mode because i have still got the old version ?
