What "minimization" are you talking about? Compression of movies?

After discoveries of all tree of technology it is possible to increase a scientific level on directions. I, II, III etc. In particular, the data of analysis allow to reduce of weight of arms. Therefore I have written "minimization". There can be it not absolutely correctly on English.
When there is an analysis of technology, there is a video. Really it not the video file, it is format of the frames picture MoO2. For minimization in the game LBX too is such "video", but it not used in the game.

If you're asking for a small movie to be played each time you discover a technology, I think you should MAKE the movies yourself and then see if anyone can find a way to put them in, and if they can't, then whenever you discover a tech, just ALT-TAB and go to the folder you've put the movies in and play the appropriate one, then when it's done, ALT-TAB back into the game. A kludge, but it'll work.
Why do they get to attack me without war being declared, but I can't do the same?

You wouldn't have believed me, but I have already made this video. Game's developers liked it and they have included it in the official game's version (twelve years ago). ))

If serious; you know how to count? The game has 203 technologies, but exists 213 "Tanm_xxx.lbx" files. Files from 204 to 213 is a necessary video. You can open them in the hex-editor and will make sure of it. If it is difficult for you, you can use my program "LBX Editor".

For activation this files on the game, need to change the function "Science_Room_", unit "SCIENCE":

Code: Select all

cseg01:0010D354 loc_10D354: ; CODE XREF: SCIENCE_Science_Room_+6Cj cseg01:0010D354 movzx ebx, dx cseg01:0010D357 lea eax, [ebx+ebx] cseg01:0010D35A add eax, [ebp+var_21A] cseg01:0010D360 mov ax, [eax] cseg01:0010D363 and ah, 1 cseg01:0010D366 movzx eax, ax cseg01:0010D369 push eax cseg01:0010D36A shl ebx, 6 cseg01:0010D36D lea eax, [ebp+var_10E] cseg01:0010D373 push offset SCIENCE__tech_item_anim_fmt ; "TANM_%03hi.LBX" cseg01:0010D378 add eax, ebx cseg01:0010D37A push eax cseg01:0010D37B inc edx cseg01:0010D37C call sprintf_sprintf_ cseg01:0010D381 add esp, 0Ch cseg01:0010D384 cseg01:0010D384 loc_10D384: ; CODE XREF: SCIENCE_Science_Room_+36j cseg01:0010D384 cmp dx, word ptr [ebp+arg_62] cseg01:0010D388 jb short loc_10D354 ...
cseg01:0010D384 - meat-and-potatoes.

Probably, you should abstain from flat joke, if your skill to speak is more, than your skill to think.
