Re: Panther back from the Dead

I'll double check with Merr that his uberlogic for the random battles isn't disobeying any of the MP rules, although it seems doubtful. Do you recall whether the turns with the issues used any bonuses (bombardments etc) in the turn? In theory any out of sync errors should send me a log, so I will t...

I can make all the France scenarios I want in the editor. I can also edit existing ones. What would your template do for me, Merr? I know, I am slow :oops: Well .....

I can now see the scenarios in the editor but when I make changes to them they will not save. Thoughts? Yes ... the files properties are Read Only. If you have a PC (don't know how in Mac), right click on file (in explorer) and open it's properties. Uncheck the Read Only. This problem began when SL...

thank you merr Thank you random27 !!! Your inputs are quite useful. The River VP logic change came from your comment about balancing the River Battles. In the Small and Large battles, the bridge will be the main focus of that battle since it's the odd VP that's required to win (owner with most VP)....

The scenario scripts code show you have to kill at least 20 German units for the British player to win (as one of the conditions).

The "5" part you might be thinking of relates to the German victory ... The Germans need to capture 5 VP's to win.

Anyman, I emailed you and hopefully we can sort out your error. I noted that you're showing the madonna having 826 frames :shock: . It's a not a problem but for a static object you can get away with just a few frames. This makes the file size smaller. Pip's correct about the material path .... You o...

Anyman, I think I've seen your error before but it's hard to troubleshoot without a look at the s3f. The empty string could mean an object (defined in your s3f) doesn't have a material assign to it. If you have more than object it might have ommitted the part defining this when it exported. Here's a...

Thanks! The Hetzer is a fun tank. I'm going to suggest that certain TD types have the abilities to "hide" in certain cover tiles. It would be a total suprise to find a Hetzer in a forest tile (light forest edge?) or a barn, waiting for the unsuspecting player to ignore that terrain with re...

So you consider that they are not inside the building but somewhat in open space in the building square (like garden)? Yes. They could be in the building, then deploy outside (momentarily) to shoot. The scale (~ 100m / tile) would allow the abstraction to be acceptable. Now, mortar teams would be q...

I dunno if stacking really fits to the game since it's so small-scale and there's a bit emphasizis on suppression etc. That would mean that static defenses, ambushes are lot less viable wouldnt it? Since the enemy eg if it has to move in a narrow 3-tile area can just stack up 6 units. Good point. M...

That's a good idea. Easy to implement too! Added to the task list. Cheers Pip Pip, I just came up with an idea for resolving "stacking" ... It uses the same code as a loaded transport, but the unit isn't really loaded, it's just in the same tile. Any attack towards the shown unit gets sha...
