Thus far I am pretty pleased with the state of the modification. I look forward to the full release.

MFP and AF version:


If you are happy let me know and I will up a zip file of all the boats

Think they are great. What were you thinking of changing on them?

[scorpio_rocks]

Nothing specific, lol. I just didnt think they were that good, sorry. I guess it's never easy to be truely satisfied, especially as these can never be to scale.

I will go prepare the .zip file now with all the boats - brb

[scorpio_rocks]

Ok here it is:

boats.zip file includes - MFP, AF D3 (with moving turret and with solid turret), ELB, EL AL (again with a stationary and moving turret) and the PiLB in 2 colour schemes, with and without armament.

Use whichever you like

Quick question: Have I messed up somewhere or is sound 255.wav missing?

[RecruitMonty]

Dear Scorpio,

As far as I am aware 255.wav is listed as "click.wav" in Sounds.ini. Same applies for the mod.

I've loaded up the last of the helicopters and am now dealing with the boats. When I'm done I'll post up the new files (along with revised acknowledgements).

Will probably be ready by the middle - end of the week. Then I'll compile a list of encyclopaedia entries. We'll work through them and then we're done.

[scorpio_rocks]

Hiya,

Sorry was looking at the "Das Reich soundguide" spreadsheet which lists 255.wav as G43 sniper. No worries.

Would you like me to have a stab at a few text entries or wait until you have a template?

[RecruitMonty]

By all means, have a go.

[scorpio_rocks]

Ok attached is a .zip file containing 4 examples also shown below.

My Idea is to follow a (suggested) format =

"Das Reich" - Or OoB name OR Military Branch
FULL NAME - of unit with no (few) abbreviations
(translation if required, esp for formations)
*
Description of unit or formation. Including where necessary information on who used it and what it is armed with if the weapons are very abbreviated.
*
[Classification - Historical (existed), Conjectural (designed but never produced), Hypothetical (speculative)] - If based on "real" unit namecheck it here
{Pic: ??? Icon: ???} - IF desired (or known) give picture and/or Icon credits

What do you think? Am I miles away? I am happy to do as many as you want me to (Gulp all 4000ish entries if you like) - I may need some help with some translations.

IF I am on the right lines and you want me to do it just give me a shout and I will get on it (and send results to your email )

[RecruitMonty]

Agreed. The format you devised is great. I will begin work on the formations today. If you like you can do the tanks for now. I will come up with a fair division of labour by the end of the work week.
