Any chances of us just getting the new map maker now so that we can at least play around with it while we wait for the game's release?

I'm not too sure that would be very easy to do. There are a number of linkages between game directorys and files and Map Maker. There are also some registry settings that might be problematic.

Thanks

This brings up an interesting thought:

When the demo is released, can PZC:K owners simply replace the .exe file in the Kharkov directory with the PCO demo exe and have all the new game features, albeit w/out the new PCO content?

Nice idea, but nope, the changes that have been made to PCO permeate the entire file set.

Sorry

If you don't ask the answer is always no. I kinda figured that it would be a no go on the tech front.

Lol. I was thinking that myself. The ETA's for this game keep getting shuffled further and further backwards.

The last thing changed was adding the grass system. But as we have dozens of maps these all have to be updated. Then testing the map to see if this change affects things. I don't like going back and redoing maps. I like going forward. But it has to be done.

G'day,

Appreciate your efforts.

Take your time doing what has to be done as the grass makes a huge difference.

Cheers,

It completely changes the scenarios with infantry units in them as they now have a much reduced LOS to them if they go into cover. That's not all my maps but it's 2/3 of them and I need to add the new improved grass for the rest either way.

Good Hunting.

The info page for Ostfront lists May 9th as the release date. Is this a target day or is it 'set in stone'? :)

Will we see the demo before this weekend? I'd love to get started. :D

Additionally, has Matrix ever considered the "Pre-order and gain access to beta" method that seems to be gaining popularity?

Can't wait to see what you guys have done!

I don't think you'll see a demo released before the weekend. Thats just my guess of course.

Thanks

Actually since PZC K owners are going to get this game for free, there is no need to try out the demo....

You're right, but only if demo comes out at the same time as the actual game.
