Barabrossa: Stopping the Titan

(I deleted my obsolete error message post to de-clutter the thread)

[Eagletanker]

Sorry about that, I am deleting the troublesome files and putting the fixed ones into this one. Fix should be up soon

[Eagletanker]

Okay, it should work now. re-download the files or delete 2.Bam and Fortified Hills.txt in the folder if it still doesn't work.

[PoorOldSpike]

Okay all is good, I've just played 'Surprise' again and the bridge can't be demolished now, and I held 2 of the 3 objs..
I then played Smolensk Highway but came a cropper and only held 1 of the 4 flags at the end.
My excuse is that if only I'd known I'd be getting big reinfs, I'd have played totally differently and would have waited for most of them to come on before trying to blunt the German spearhead with my starting force.
Suggestion- tell us in the briefing roughly what reinfs we'll be getting, and roughly when, so we won't have to play it blind.

[Eagletanker]

Okay, I will add that to the briefing. Any thing else I should add for the next version?

P.S. Do you mean camper by the word cropper, or does it mean something else?

Sorry, I forgot that some Sltherine members might not speak English..
Here in England "cropper" means "misfortune" or "unlucky", so "came a cropper" means suffered a misfortune, or had bad luck.

As regards the next version, please tell us in the Briefing exactly what we have to do to win in 'Surprise' and 'Smolensk Highway'.
In Smolensk Highway it said "Capture 4 objectives, Destroy the Sturmpanzer, Destroy 8 tracked vehicles", so does that mean we have to achieve ALL of them to get a victory?

Also, tell us in the Briefing if we get reinfs in 'Surprise'.
And in both scens tell us if the AI gets reinfs and where they are enter the map..

PS- Congratulations on your very good scenario 'Surprise', but 'Smolensk Highway' was too big with too many units in my opinion..

[Eagletanker]

All right, I will try to reduce the number of units on board (probably losing some BTs ), and might lose the first half of the mission, namely the village and the old trench. I will add a part about armour reinforcements for Highway. I don’t think I will for surprise as I want the mission to feel chaotic. As for the A.I, I like having a fog of war element to try and keep you on your toes. Once I get to Kharkov, the Soviets will have some idea of what the A.I gets for off board. As for achievements and objectives, I don’t know how to set it up so it’s in the more traditional style of primary objectives and then achievements. All you got to do for this one is hold one objective to buy time. As for the next two missions, they are planned to be smaller, with #3 being 32x36 and #4 being 24x35. And to end with a question, what about both scenarios did I do well so I can expand upon those mechanics and level design.

..what about both scenarios did I do well so I can expand upon those mechanics and level design.

Yes, both Surprise and Smolensk Highway were good, but like I said, we MUST be told in the Briefing EXACTLY what we have to do to get a victory, because I hate playing "blind"..

New version is ready to be downloaded.

Just a quick question but is the link to the new version available or will it be released at a later date? I'm simply asking as the current link seems to be of an older version.

[Eagletanker]

Yeah, it was referring to a older version. The level I am currently working on is done gameplay wise and is playable, but right now I am working of just scripting so everything that I want to work works. Going has been slow since my day job started back up after December
