I tried to install MAX2. The installer said that MAX2 doesn't support my Windows version. So I went into the MAX2 dir on the install cd, and started Max2.exe straight away... it worked flawlessly Smiling

The only good things in MAX2 are the award winning unit portraits. They are beautiful. Except the portrait of the Repairer unit which is simply grabbed from MAX1, with the Recreation Center in the background :).

MAX2 uses exactly the same font files as MAX1 (The fonts can be viewed with the fallout fon format viewer and editor from TeamX.)

The intro is in Interplay's MVE format too (MAX1, Fallout1 and Fallout2 also uses this format). It can be played with MVE player from TeamX. MAX1's intro was way longer (and better) then MAX2's.

The MAX2 music tracks are in ACM format (also Interplay and Fallout related). They can be played and converted to and from wav files using utilities from TeamX: http://www.teamx.ru/eng/files/utils/

MAX2 uses lots of music elemets from MAX1. I think the music tracks are atmospheric enough to bring back the MAX1 feeling.

In MAX2.res, I found the original MAX1 chat window related graphics, the MAX1 factory building screen, the shadow griphic for land mines, the server selection sreen, the upgrade screen, the portrait picture of the Artilery, the mobil repairing unit, AND! the same quick build screen that I attached to my earlier post! Smiling

Here are some of the award winning unit portraits (there are 102 portrait in the res file):
