Before playing Star Wars: Total Annihilation,
you must complete one of the following sets of steps:
- Regular (Non-TA:M)
Installation
- If you have free space available on your hard drive,
make a fresh installation of Total Annihilation, The
Core Contingency (optional, but highly recommended),
and the Total Annihilation v3.1 Patch (available at
http://tauniverse.com/files/patch/ta). If you do not
have space, you can still play SWTA, but some problems
may arise which we cannot be held accountable for.
Note: this directory will from now on be referred
to as "your TA directory"
- Download the following files from the SWTA website:
a. swtapack3_full.zip
- Unzip all files into your TA directory. The following
files should now be present in your TA directory:
a. ccdata.ccx (if CC is installed)
b. ccmaps.ccx (ditto)
c. ccunits.ccx (ditto)
d. impsounds1.swx
e. impsounds2.swx
f. impsounds3.swx
g. impsounds4.swx
h. rebsounds1.swx
i. rebsounds2.swx
j. rebsounds3.swx
k. rebsounds4.swx
l. rev31.gp3
m. rev40.gp4
n. setup.exe
o. setup.ini
p. SWTA.exe
q. swtapack1.swx
r. swtapack2.swx
s. swtapack3.swx
t. swtapack4.swx
u. Totala.exe
v. totala1.hpi
w. UNWISE.exe
- If installing to an existing TA directory, make
sure there are no folders titled "AI" or
"gamedata" in your TA directory. If there
are, remove them before playing, or else SWTA will
not function as intended.
- Double-click SWTA.exe to play Star Wars: Total
Annihilation! (It is highly recommended you make a
shortcut to SWTA.exe, for convenience)
- TA:M Installation
- Download swtatam.zip from the SWTA website.
- Unzip swtatam.zip into your Totala\TA-Mutation\TCs
folder.
- Start TA:M and select SWTA - ****, where **** represents
the current version of SWTA.
- Launch TA.
- Note: use TA:M at your own risk. Several errors
(i.e. E-webs that don't fire) have been reported by
users of the TA:M version of SWTA. We cannot help
you with these errors; if you continue to have them,
install SWTA to a fresh directory, as above.
- Macintosh Installation
- Visit http://www.tauniverse.com/macta and download
the SWTA files.
