Thanks

You are right, only Erik will answer if you have a problem, the rest treat this forum as a free ad. :lol:

Ask anything about non-3d stuff, and I can possibly answer as long as it isn't also something like exotic editor-trigger conditions/effects either that no one really uses. :)
Besides creating scenarios, there haven't been much long-lasting interest in modifying the game here, as far as I remember, so better don't take it too personally if people don't answer. I guess most people just look for fancy new graphics of units and such, but that's pretty much common in every game forum.

Modding the game is a bit hit & run. it is possible, but also very easy to hit some snag that in worst case simply hangs the game on restart.
Some updartes of the game has changed the format of certain files (units, campaigns for instance).
Example, if you want to use the units in the official Battle of Britain, prepare to delete one column and switch places of two others.
I hope the devs at some point makes it easier to mod the game and not force the modder to redo the work whenever there's an update.

Screenshots are nice, but I don't need hundreds promoting one mod...

You are right, there is topics with excess of screenshot and very few discussions :(
