Hi Prokopis,

> More specifically, this involves that pretty cool installation sequence of the original C&C (only a 651KB WSA version of it in CO's case) in the setup mix, as well as another file in the scores.mix, which is identified to have the odd .VAR extension, but still be considered AUD type material (like many other scores in CO, it's a remix of a C&C original track - "aoi.var", smaller than the original and 1.84MB in size). Now both files seem normal enough at first (attributes properly displayed and whatnot), but when I try to extract the WSA to an image sequence, no matter the image format, it always crashes the app. I'm guessing it may have something to do with its size, seeing as it's pretty long for such a kind of animation by general C&C standards, but I could be wrong. In the case of the VAR score, I only seem to be able to extract it raw and play it with the AV Player and that's that. Extracting it in wav format, or attempting to play it in Mixer will cause a crash. What's making this even weirder is that there's two more scores in that mix file with the same .VAR format, but they behave as expected (all of them 22.05KHz, 16-bit, mono).

I can confirm both crashes.
The AUD crash may be caused by a corrupt AUD, but I'll see if I can work around that.
The WSA crash is caused by a missing palet and I'll fix that too.

It's not really needed, but it's handy to automatically see updates without manually refreshing.

I think it only shows the threads updated in the last week. The Recent messages page shows more.
