Basically OTA v1.5 missing PLASMA_Expl on 0.76b1

[WDC commander]

Hey, I just recently discovered spring which is amazing! I'm an old Total Annihilation fan so I mostly play Basically OTA version 1.5. I find it's the most similar mod to the orginal TA so that's the one I prefer to play. It's total annihilation but better! First person control that's super cool!

Enough BS anyway first of all I dunno how to play over the TCP/IP LAN. I just figured you have to use the TASClient so I did. I got to play a couple games over the net with the spring_0.74b3 which worked fine and was awesome! But then this 0.76b1 came out which put the old server client out of service apparently. So I had to get that cause the old one said I have to get the update and now It works fine until I start the game with Basically OTA version 1.5.

To test I make a game with a bot and I start it. It starts the game yeah yeah we're loading map, trees, whatnot whatever order it loads em' in. It stops when loading explosions, exits the window and shows a message saying:

"explosion info for PLASMA_Expl not found"

And then it simply has me back in the game room. I am runnin' windows vista (just in case that anything to do with it). I downloaded those nice content files cause I first was getting the "curser not found" thing that I read a lot of people had trouble with so those content files fixed THAT problem but for some reason not this plamsa explosion.

Any idea's on why it does that? Or more likely: what post I missed that covers this sorta thing specifically.

BOTA needs to be updated to work with .76b1, and the author said he doesn't have time to do it any more.

Well that sucks. So is there a way to play over my LAN with the older version of spring?

Or does anyone have any suggestions of what mods are the most similar to total annihilation that do run on the .76b1?

Thanks.

I found the solution to my problem:

I found Classic TA v5.6 (couldn't get it a bit ago cause site was down). And I tested it and it works with the v.76b1 yay!

Thanks anyway!
