Not played for a while. Just installing the patch and started the game up.

However, the intro "comic book" images seem a bit pixellised, or perhaps more correctly, blurred. When going into the game, It looks also a little "blurred". Has some setting been adjusted from the previous version which I ...

When I seen the original post from Pomakli I too also got thinking about a sniper unit. Interestingly, I started messing around with a mini campaign of two scenarios (until holidays arrived!) based around a sniper unit, called sniper! (great minds...)

Anyway, the sniper unit I was messing around ...

Thanks. No pop up boxes. If I play around a bit (can`t remember what exactly) I do get some pop up boxes with some of the text in.

I`ll play around a bit more.

I think the movement and sound can be adjusted in the csv file called "squads". (one entry is for soundbank)

Not too sure how to adjust sound files at the moment though. I`ve got a piat sound for a custom sniper I`m trying to work on :oops: But getting that right is least of my worries at the ...

Hmm, I`m sure your explanation is fine, however, I`m seeing no text now. I`ve got this---

IDS_SCENARIO_DESC_Sniper1,"some text here",
IDS_SCENARIO_DESC_Sniper1_a,"some text here",
IDS_SCENARIO_DESC_Sniper1_b,"some text here
IDS_SCENARIO_DESC_Sniper1_c,"...some text here !",

In the text1 file, and ...

Another tool for sound editing is

Thanks to Junk2Drive for this. Despite the fact I`ve got it installed for recording my vinyl I forgot this useful, and free programme.

Any other tools people suggest/I find I`ll add to this post.

Having looked at the existing campaigns, I`m trying to add similiar "pop up" text on the introctuction screen for the campaign and the scenarios. So far I`ve got this--

IDS_CAMPAIGN_NAME,"Sniper",
IDS_CAMPAIGN_TEXTa,"Somewhere in Normandy...",
IDS_CAMPAIGN_TEXTb,"Trapped and alone...",

However ...

Height for buildings is mentioned/discussed here.

It appears if could be done with some tinkering.

The data for such figures can be found in the Squads.csv. Armour Values can be found in Armour[0],Armour[1],Armour[2],Armour[3]

For a king tiger for example, they are 140,105,90,40 respectively. So I assume Front,sides rear and top.

The beauty is that all these values can be changed for custom ...

Oops, just seen your reply. Thanks. Looks like were typing at the same time! Appears that I just came to the same conclusion for the workaround for now.

A toggle would be useful.

Thanks for reply.

Hmm, after getting lots of shades of gray, I decided to save the file. Opening the file back up I then get the result.

Looks like I have to resize the map, then save, then reload the newly sized map for working on it. As I said, looks like I was doing something in the wrong sequence.

Now, I`m sure I`m doiung something really daft here.

I go into the editor, create a new map 24 x 24. I then get the grey map area, I then proceed to "paint" the map with grass tiles..and nothing. No grass on my map just gray squares. Cornfield gives a different shade of gray.

Any suggestions?

Just auto updated and now the campaigns are locked. I had completed the tutorial and was half way through the desert campaign, now only the tutorial is available to start.

No problem as the games so good I don`t mind playing through again, but I thought its best to know though.

Unless I`ve done ...

ok thanks. I`m waaay off from getting to the stage of creating/editing unit models, but no doubt there are people far more advanced and experienced in such matters who may want to dive straight in.

Do you mean Autodesk 3d studio Max, when referring to "MAX"? Is that a commercial programme? Would it be possible to use this,- (an open source free programme)

Which can export to 3ds files, but as the game uses a custom ...

Sorry about some of the images may exceed bandwidth. Looks like the thread is a bit more popular than I had expected. If things get worse I'll have to drop the quality of the jpegs.

I gave this great AAR a "heads up" over at the matrix forum. Hope you dont mind? Perhaps thats increased the ...

In addition to the notepad++ editor already mentioned, would also like to add Gimp as a possible image editor. With a plugin can save as DDS files, with an added bonus that its free.

Anyone with other suggestions please table them. I highlight this one only due to that I`ve come across it before ...

Great AAR, gives some insight in to what we`ve got to look forward to.

Woo hoo, just checking out the mod/scripting documentation. That`ll keep me busy tonight whilst I wait.

Just checked pre order, no link yet

Aaargh, "Not today...but.." Tease
