Roadmap for Heroes of Normandie!
Hi guys!

One month has passed since the launch of Heroes of Normandie, and we’d like to give you some feedback on the current state of the development and our plans for the future.

Since day 1 we received a lot of ...

Boardgame rules states that an infangry which cannot move away of the tank is eliminated... it seems this is not appliying when you stomp your own men! Compueter ashamed just freezes the game

No matter if you win or loose, Rogue Missions seems broken till 1.06
Everytime you end a mission game freezes. You have to alt-tab, close the game by force and restart, go again to rogue campaings and continue. It's really annoying.
I'm not the only one suffering this error.

First --
My computer locked up after completing each mission. Green screen with a white bar in the middle. Is that a bug or my machine? Because the game otherwise runs fine.

That is happening to me since 1.06 too... you can close the game and go back to the campaign to continue, but at the end ...

Playing on PC I've found the Key Shortcuts are not nice to use and I've some advice for it:


Using return for procceed is wrong for both lefties and righties : Return Key (only the main return, not numpad) is far right at the keyboard, so, it is unnatural to work with it if you're using your ...

I've found a bug in the last mission of the second german campaign, but it will probably happen everytime that situation is reached:

BUG - Mission freezes if infantry has no way to move after a vehicle overlaps it

HOW TO REPLICATE - If an infantry unit was displaced due a vehicle overlap, the ...

After about 7 tries... finally I beat the ring... "triggering massive celebrations" :S

A bitch to beat mission... I won in extremis , in the last last german turn they captured the last flag... game achieved victory to the germans and then gave it to me... (strange bug)... I think it is the ...

The errors on both the walker and the greyhound definitley look like smoothing group errors.

Thats it (I finally got time to test it, this was a busy week)

Maybe I look to much into details, but a ...

Sorry for the doubleposting... I've noticed that direction for unit light is ignored, the lights are the same no matter what vector coordinates you use :S

In fact with a Wordlight -2 -1 -2, the light comes from the opposite direction for the units even if they cast the right shadow :S

SHADOW BUGS?

I'm working the first scenario and want to be it at dawn... I enlongated shadows somehow, with a nice -2 -1 -2 vector. But I found some bugs in shadows... there are many objects that cast shadows the wrong direction, or even in both directions (Bocage, el Alemein house, some trees ...

Making the scenarios IS the best bit
Making the scerarios is the BEST bit

I'm repeating that to myself like a mantra... I've took a small sight to the Scenario scripts and it is affordable, seems easy, anything you want to achieve can be achieved... that's nice.

The problem is that creating ...

Models finished!

So... that is... all models finished... I really like the way they turn out... I mean... axis look totally axis, american looks totally american and the brit looks outstandingly british!
Probably my favorite are the rocket pioneers... they look great, and the worst the heavies ...

double posting... I'm clearly making a "level-up" in MAX knowledge... AH! this one was fast! :D

Ladies und gentlemen... The Oddball's Special !

" The Oddball's Special. With captured and damaged german GP legs, Cpt. Oddball and engineers of the TechJackers Task Force created this nice and reliable ...

Yep, I'm putting in some effort to keep the graphics up to the quality and style of the game :)
And yes... Kelly's Heroes is an amazingly good movie... How can Donald Southerland be a tank commander and a hippie all the same time in WWII? and still be a verosimile character! XD

Now, two more ...

I think keeping it simple is a great idea! You are already pushing boundaries, and I for one want to see the story. Perhaps the next chapter can have resources and unit building ;).

The story is as silly as you can read some posts behind :D

But enough for a pulp tactical game :p

I got tired of ...

Spawn units... resources... hum... it is an option, BtW I'll keep it simple or I will never finish it!

Light update, rocket pioneers are almost done. I'm learning 3Ds MAX the rough way :S

I've been thinking about the small campaign Secrets of the Reich and the campaign and scenario presentations... here it goes:

CAMPAIGN:

* No one knows about all the horrors present at the battlefield.
* There were tech never seen before.
* The very few who fought that monsters, machines and men ...

Sitrep... I'm almost done with the U.S. Rocket Pioneers...

They animate about 3 to 4 meters over the ground... and it looks really nice! they got FX for the jetpacks and sand FX when they get close to the land... Seeing a bunch of them floating is really crazy... it'll make germans mad! :D

I'll ...

I like the effect pruduced just moving in the animation FX object #!0 to each muzzle... it is a extremely fast change, and the minimun delay makes it more spectacular than just invoking the same effect at the same time.

Anyway... If I want tracers in both guns the way is this:

[FIRE00]
FRM 0 20 ...

Thinking about the animation file... I've a question!!

The CALL line is the call to the unit's custom_trigger (in "trigger.bsf"). Currently the custom trigger ONLY draws tracers from the emmiter and only if the passed first parameter equals zero (CALL <frame> <param> <param> <param>)...

So, if ...
