Mod v1.04 loads okay for me. I'm also using the 64bit OoB version 5.2.9.

Hmmm. More investigating is needed on my part. Thanx Gabe!

Even played a scenario with some of the new units. Seems okay.
Are you having general loading problems or with some specific scenario played with the mod?

And I like the new theme (music).... :D

No, I get the starting screen with the ship silhouette and then a black screen as if trying to load, but that's it.

If I hit F8 I can get the loading screen but it doesn't load, but I do get the motorcycle start screen and loading bar, but then it sticks and hangs up. :?

The first time when we launch the mod, the load of the main screen (4.94Mo) can take time and we have a black screen while waiting for. Just wait.
Otherwise, you can inactivate the main screen (splash.png) simply by changing its name (what you want) :

In the doubt, delete the mod, launch the official game, quick the game, then reinstalls the mod and try.

Nope, still no luck. I reDLed v1.04 just to be sure and no change. I stared at a black screen for a solid 10 min just to be sure before quitting.
BTW, GK Mod boots right up as usual, so I think everything is in its proper place.
I may try to reinstall the whole game when I get a min, and then add the mod, but after that I dunno :?

I'm just such a damn idiot. :roll: :oops:
I thought I had updated to 5.2.9 but hadn't (was still on 5.2.2)
Now that I'm current it works flawlessly.
I also heartily agree with GabeKnight about the theme music too. :D

It is normal, I forgot to rectify a file.
You have to delete the line "unique_scenarios = true" in the file "mod.txt"

When I create a scenario with my mod, I use this function "unique_scenarios = true". It is then impossible to modify the others scenarios which have nothing to do with my mod.

As I was looking through the flags folder I noticed that you have the Republican and Nationalist flags mixed up.

Thanks for the bug reports!
It will soon be corrected in the next version.

:arrow: I have a question :
My flags are not floating as the original flags.I tried with the software "Gimp 2" but I did not arrive yet (I would arrive one day certainly).
By testing my new flags in scenarios, I realized two things :
- I find original flags too dark specially when they are in the fog of war
- The fact that my new flags are not floating makes them more net and anyway they are naturally livened up.
For these reasons my flags are not floating for the moment.
What do you think :?:

Sorry, but what do you mean by that? Like moving in the wind? If yes, they do and it looks okay to me.
(There are just no Spanish units in your mod yet :wink: )

Example Poland :

- Not official not floating flag (not in my mod for the moment) :

At the beginning I was sceptical with the not floating flags. By making tests, I realized that anyway there was an animation for flags and after all I prefer them because they are clearer.

I really like this project.
Would you be interested in adding proper ship speeds?
I already have a list with corrected movement rates on all/most of the stock ships.

Thanks for the support :D
I did not worry about ships yet. The only thing which really annoys me is the time of recharging in torpedoes of the submarines which is too long.
I shall be interested to add your statistics. Ships are not my speciality.
