Thank you for the prompt reply Juggalo. Glad to help. quote:
I get an olive background in my browser windows anytime I play the game, but as I said, it's not a big deal and closing the browser and reopening it fixes it. Oh, you're alt-tabbing out of the game while it is running? quote:
I find the music in this game inspirational, I don't know why, but after losing access to the game, I researched and found all of the original game scores, plus so many other good military marches along the way. Myself, I can't stand music while I play games.....background battle sounds are nice though. quote:
Where can I find unit discriptions and specifics on some of the newest units? Specifically the supply train cars (which I haven't figured out what they do), as well as the many new formations for the engineers? I have found the bridging units to be most useful on my mega scenarios, but some of the others, I'm just not sure what their capabilities are and how I should use them. Check out Arkady's wonderful Unit Viewer. It should be in a folder called Tools if you've patched up to 1.04. quote:
Is anyone producing custom hexes (cities, towns, villages, etc) and is this even possible? If it is, I'm sure I will end up there at some point, just hoping for a point in the right direction on where to find it. Sure it's possible. In fact, just about everything in the game is moddable. Check out Dumnorix's "PG3D meets JTCS WWII" and "Cold War" mods in the Mods subforum for a look at a radically different game. I myself am slowly piecing together a Normandy '44 mod which will introduce many new units. quote:
The OOB editer is a great way to lose many hours of your life, I know this for fact. It would have been nice to have a (parenthesis) name given for the vehicles, it took far too long to finally find the Ferdinan/Elephant. What is the source for the units make up and strengths? Are the values changed from the original games release as I still have my original telephone book sized Talonsoft players guides from the first releases of these games? The values for all the classic units generally remain the same. But after you get the UnitViewer up and going you'll see that there are many, MANY new units. As for sources, I can only guess Jason uses official records, as I've seen he uses German KStN documents to craft his German OOBs. quote:
Again, thanks in advance for any help on these questions. I feel like such a noob around here ;) just trying to catch up to speed on everything JTCS related. It's always good to see fresh blood around here.....[8D] ChadG
