Stupid Armada question

[Sharpshooter]

Where do you actually enter the command line you're given at the end of a gauntlet mission?

 

[Vinman]

Do you have the patch? I don't remember where the codes are entered, but I remember it being fairly apparent.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

At the command line. You run armada.exe (whatever the code is). The exact syntax should be in the patch's readme file.

Thanks! It was in the readme.arm file instead of the readme.txt file, that's why I hadn't figured it out.

Hehe, .arm. I bet there's some internet database that will tell us that ARM files are Wing Commander Armada plaintext readme documents. I do remember trying to open every individual file in the old DOS games in LED (the IBM proprietary editor)... those were the days!

there were also a lot of README.1ST files back then too.

those were the good old days.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

README.TOO, too.

Mac developers had a habit of labeling their readmes, "DON'T EVER READ THIS!" "Not worth reading" "Please don't read me" and the like. Always nice when they sneak in jokes.

Hehe... I once stumbled over a french software (it was in english or german, but made by a french company) and I searched for the readme.txt, liesmich.txt or something similar and didn't find it.

...And then I found a file named LISEZ.MOI and realized that they had forgotten to rename the readme to english. Inside I found an english readme.....
