NCM will have its own .EXE!

Following the trend of other TS mods, NCM will be played from its own .EXE, which means you can play other TS mods or just TS without a bunch of file swapping. When NCM is released, there will be only 3 files included:

NCM.exe
NCMXP.Mix
NCM.INI

Estimate Size: 30 - 40 MB

Now that is just plain cool, I know this is probably a stupid question but how did you do it?

Hex Editor or Resource Hacker. Depends on the purpose. For the purpose he has posted recently, he used a hex editing program.

it's really not all that hard, you simply replace references to the right files ie references to rules.ini to NCM.ini

actually i think NCM.ini is probally the equivalent of SUN.ini seeing as if you change the amount of characters in the exe using a hex editor it screws up the program for some reason.

I've not had problems in the past having lower numbers of characters as far as I remember. Oh well.

Its a great thing though. If a mod can have its own exe then we can all use other mods without removing them.

I make a copy of my NoCD TS for every mod I install anyway -_-

Listen i have installed cnc decade recently the point is the ncm.exe, asks me for the tiberian sun disk but it´s allready in it, so how can i play it because simply sending the files to the TS directory doesn´t work after changing the names to expand02 and sun.ini. Help me or send me a copy without the exe file and with the rules and art file, because without them it won´t work as you know.

My mail is hfcmoreira@msn.com
