Going to rebuild this at some point.  Meanwhile here's the important stuff:

My name's Caydr, I make mods as a hobby.  Or, I used to.  Been busy lately.  I mainly mod RTS games but I make little contributions here and there to various stuff.  But my main project over the years has been a mod for Total Annihilation.  I called it Absolute Annihilation since it was intended to make the game better... or something.  It also showed up pretty high in alphabetical lists, which was a plus.

Anyway, Total Annihilation's an old game and there's only so much you can do with it.  Absolute Annihilation was eventually ported to a new RTS engine called Spring.  For about a year or two, everything went great, but then I got my first job.  Everything got screwed up at that point - I released a "major" new version with a couple (dozen?) huge bugs that made it totally unplayable.  What a mess.  I didn't get a chance to fix things for a while, and by that time someone else had already done so for me.  After that, my lack of time prevented me from keeping pace with this other project, and the rest is history.

The Spring version was vastly superior in many ways, but it's been too long... I don't remember what the last "good" version was, or I'd post it here.

What I can post is the final version of the original mod, Absolute Annihilation 6.0.  It requires Total Annihilation to be installed... if you can't locate a copy, tough luck, I'm not giving it out.

Once you have Total Annihilation installed, install the 3.1c patch (readily available anywhere), then drop Absolute Annihilation into your TA directory.

I don't know if TA works with Vista...

Download Absolute Annihilation 6.0 here.

Actually I'm not sure if you need the 3.1c patch... Uh... check the readme, it's pretty well-written and contains EVERYTHING you could possibly need to know.  If you need to contact me, I periodically check this address: alydr42@yahoo.ca
