PolakIsn’t ADF different from TAW by the missions only? Missions are out in the open without extraction. Are they not?
nope. just like in TAW, it’s all packed up in a nice did.dat file, different from TAW’s of course.
if you setup
missions by yourself, they can work from outside, because the game ignores the internal files if it finds replacements
in its directory.
I’m certain both games use the same data hiding technology.
I’m sure that the extraction utility for TAW is based on an extraction utility made for ADF.
somewhere, someone must still have it.
@ Mark: the appeal of ADF’s scripted missions consists of two things:
(1) you get more than one chance to do it right … you can even choose to learn
the mission if you want.
(2) there’s scripted variety
, and easter eggs.
while its true that, after long, intensive work, you can clean the whole game world of baddies, and you’re left all alone, few things match the joy of taking down a hidden Egyptian squadron. (Egypt TOD, Arabian Sword
, Northern Egypt)
that was just an example. TAW provides nice things too, like hunting down the A-50’s. That’s my main source of joy, since I raided most of Sudan’s airfields, and now it’s as quiet as ever. 😁
OK!! now, back to that extraction utility.
anybody have it? 😄
