Wow, the best Christmas present I've got this year - and I'm not complaining.

It's a great way to become familiar with the game (obviously) and ask questions of the developers.

Hat's off to Matrix as well, for making this happen.

You're most welcome.

We did the manual on our own though.

Yes, I had meant that Matrix "allowed" the manual to be available early. For games like these, imho, it is a great idea. Kind of like today's version of "full disclosure." Looking forward to the release!

Wow! Amazing! Really looking forward to this one!

A tiny point: the manual mentions "Sneaker: This unit is capable of hidden fire" but gives no further details (it fires but isn't then revealed?). Perhaps a little further explanation is required?

Good catch, Tom!

Every time the unit fires, it has a chance of being revealed. But it is not automatic.

Hello Jason!

I just took a look at the CSVN manual that you made available to us for free. It's simply dazzling ...
I'm not exaggerating because I'm really fascinated by all this work of research, creation, historian,
cartography, programming, development, team coordination, etc. and by the incredible skills required.
I can only wish you a very beautiful and happy New Year, very beautiful Holidays until then and above
all health and your legendary unwavering passion for a job well done ... To You and Your loved ones.
A faithful friend from France, impatient to be already at the end of January.

You can guess why!
Lilian

Yes, unfortunately it didn't save. 4 hours of playthrough down the drain.

I'll be doing another stream next Saturday at 11AM Pacific Standard Time for a couple hours. I will play through another scenario and this time use Camtasia to record it as well. I will post it to YouTube too.

I'm sure the pummeling you took at the hands of the AI in the first scenario played no part in this unfortunate mishap

*laughs* But the next two scenarios I did exceptionally well!

hahahaha.. That was terrible. I was slaughtered. And I designed the damn thing!

Well. From the point of view of having observed the VC to play their Lua coded CS Event Engine battle plan to max was a joy

My prediction: This won't be the last victory the computer-controlled side will claim

That's not a bad thing. And it would seem to point to the AI being able to respond in its own interesting ways, randomly.

That's absolutely correct, benpark!

It's difficult now to predict what the AI will do.

Thanks. I can’t wait to start playing. It’s been a long wait, but it’s definitely worth it.

I updated the manual with some clarification for the CAS and the setting IED.

Grab the latest version above!

I was a young boy when Jason started this project. I better buy a copy tomorrow before it's too late! 'Nurse, where is my credit card?'

That was funny

BTW Jason...in your "Living manual" thread which is locked the " how to" video about installing the 1.01 zip file patch is showing as "this video is private" so it cannot be viewed.

I may well just wait for an official patch as I am a technological dunce of the first order but just thought you should know.

He was waiting for me to do an install guide, which I just did. That thread should become available soon now.
