I had to reinstall the game and after being advised to delete all my old files for a successful reinstallation, something that didn't work, I find the only copy of my saved, scenarios, graphics and Alt graphics folders is on a hard drive that is no longer installed. What I'd like to find is the entire JMass package, preferably with the square units.

Thanks for putting together a new link.

Unfortunately, I just tried it and I get stuck in a never ending loop. It tells me that the download link will appear after x seconds, yet when I click on the download link it simply bring me back to the beginning download screen and I have to start the cycle again.

Yet, oddly enough, the count of downloads is incrementing each time I try and it is also updating the time of the last download, but there is no new file on my computer.

Back up Opart 3 Fonts.ini

Then copy and paste the settings in notepad and save as Opart 3 Fonts.ini

It looks great! I raised all the size numbers by 2-it did the trick.

The unit panel should show the 3d icon,(there was a bug in a earlier version correct here :http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=1447841 ).

To have the hex terrain view you must delete all the files in AltGraphics with prefix Bk_.

The solution was here:

The Unit Panel background is BLACK, followed instruction to download the bk_fix.zip but all the links are now dead.
Could someone please help me out by posting another link or if possible send a email with attached files !!!.
Thanks is advance as this mod makes the gaming experience so much more enjoyable.

It resolved one bug where 3d figures were hidden in some terrain but the last version of my mod has no problem, you can download it from this link: http://files.filefront.com/jm+mod+toaw3+finalzip/;13299816;/fileinfo.html

Status: offline 		As the "Opart 3 Fonts.ini" was already mentioned I would like to know if anyone can explain what does what in this ini file.
Some are obvious but others make me scratch my head as I never toyed around with any fonts.

Where do those settings work?
[DocumentFont](Briefing only?)
[MediumFont](?)
[SmallFont](?)
[ObjectiveFont] (Only for vicory points on objectives?)

How can I set a specific color here?
Background=0x000000
Gold=0xffd700
Red=0xFF0000
Silver=0xffffff

What do those settings change?
windowsFont=Y (?)
Outline=N (?)
Background=Y (?)
Spacing=0 (I guess space between letters?)
Weight=400 (?)
Size=10 (This is obvious)
Font=Arial Rounded MT Bold (This is obvious)

windowsFont=Y (?) this is to toggle between the old Bitmap (courier) font and user defined windows fonts

Can you tell me where those colors are use?

BTW currently I'm using your settings in the fonts ini and would like to know if I can somehow adjust the position of the black box behind the text when switching to maximum contrast.
It always looks a bit strange because it is displace a bit to the right & down.
