paint.net

make them darker in paint.net. more experimentation and you'll be surprised. they will end up as some shade of red or blue because green won't work. i've got red rails and blue roads is this screenshot the other way round? just wondering i think of the rails as kinda the "blood supply" for...

the two files you need to modify are LayerRails and LayerRoads. in paint.net or similar adjust the RGB and/or dark or light setting. they will look different in game than they do in paint.net so experiment. i ended up with navy blue roads and light red rails. easy to distinguish.

keep going very interested in this

hotseat with a laptop or tablet not an option for you?

there is probably some way you could even wireless/remote connect one or two android devices to the pc/laptop with panzer corps on it and hotseat that way.

when (hopefully) i actually publish my ideas in the form of a mod some of them are radical. so much so they may be denounced rather than praised by people who just want more icons and other fluff. i'm aiming for PzC 1.5 with new rules/values that aren't just window dressing. the AI is bad with spott...

perhaps something unauthorised

i am pleased to see there is sufficient interest in this 10 year old game that modmakers and the playerbase continue to support and improve it
also it seems that the PzC1 modding forum is more active that the PzC2 equivalent. good.

some of them are hilariously overpowered (rudel, oleh dir) and i have reduced their values in the scenario editor. and there are probably a couple too many in the DLC campaign as a whole. it would be nice if there were some minor negative values to offset the large positive values so they are less u...

thanks for the comments so far, here's what i know/think true - there is a lot of potential in scripting in scenarios to make the AI less dumb - but you have to edit each and every scenario to do it. you can't even copy and paste scripts (for some reason). editing one file (equipment.pzdat) applies ...

The AI is .. dumb. Occasionally it's forces can give you a bloody nose and when given numerically superior forces it can challenge your skills but in general you will win no danger - maybe even "map wiping" the scenario. you can adjust the difficulty level of course to make you weaker/them...

how about doing away with the attached transport way of doing things altogether? just add 1 or 2 moves to an infantry unit to represent how much/want type of transport forms PART of that unit. increase costs for units so equipped maybe decrease the GD and AD to represent some vulnerability whist get...

lots of untapped potential still in this old game

very interesting. good luck with working it out. maybe there is some software that could help? maybe modders of some other similar games have "hacked" savegame files in a similar way?

seems like you are making progress. any chance of a screen capture?
if you are using excel i can maybe help if things get complicated or time consuming

it is a pure binary file AFAIK no encryption i have edited the hero values using a hex editor program but nothing more than that

well done for getting this far. in my early days playing my core got DESTROYED at Ilovlya.

if you could make the map look like a board game - maybe something like panzerblitz or some thing similar (more recent). just thinking it's a cut and paste job with internet search resources - no graphical skill required.

might work better as NATO style symbols with some number stats on the counters as well. has that been tried before?

each scenario has an initial prestige value (lump sum) and a prestige per turn value for each side. strategic bombing (with class 9 units) reduces the enemy prestige a little. capuring VH's adds prestige to the side doing the capturing - it does not take it away from the side losing control of the V...
