Will your zip program let you look at the contents of the file, as opposed to just unzipping?  I can usually look with Zip Central, which is a free download a googling away...

http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Installation may help you.
Have you ever read Draz' Hamachi thread?  The installation instructions are so good Petek refers people to them san Hamachi issues.  And you should definitely ping Petek with that link and have the King Of All Tech Help look the page over.

No, it won't. Kirov, we might have to put this on hold for a few days. I understand you wont be playing starting this Friday? I'd be okay with putting it off.

That's for IP games, not PBEM/TTT ones like this?

Right, I'll compare and integrate things at some point.

Backup your terranx, alphax and helpx. Download the following three files to you main SMAX folder and we're ready to go. :) Read about the patch below.

http://alphacentauri2.info/wiki/Yitzi%27s_patch.

basically, it fixes many bugs and gives you more control over the game via additional alphax rules (look it up). This will not affect our game unless ete had modified his alphax. However, as with all unofficial work, please report any issues and crashes.

OK, only now I've noticed that there's an entire page of posts here. Guys, I'm not sure what's that with installations and Hamachis. USS doesn't need to install anything, he copies 3 files by Yitzi to his folder and voila. Although he may want your entire game to another folder first. Right now I have 3 copies for 3 patches (we could use some tool to solve this issue).

Actually, as of version 2.0, most of the things go by the alphax of whoever's playing, not of whoever created it.
