Am I blind... or where can I get the actual mod?

Monty has only released a limited beta to a few of us for testing. He's still working on the final release which will hopefully be ready before the year's out. Trust me, it'll be worth the wait.

UPDATE!

Here is what I would call the final version of the beta before the general release. Take a close look at icons, .lbms and unit text (especially the heavy tanks) to see if everything fits properly. Please also take a look at some of the more complex Companies to see if the full load-out is there Check both versions of 35 as well if you can.

Report back within a week and then, if everything is fine(although I have not done all the textfiles for formations and although I might want to make a few more tweaks here and there) I'll release to the general public.

I think I've kept my lid on this long enough. I can always wait until Christmas to bring out the final polish.

Update is in the usual place (Update 21.10.2015)

Couple bugs to report:

The PzH.18m Hummel crashes the game when you click on the "Information" tab in its unit card. I suspect this is due to improper formatting in one of the text files but as I don't know much about that, I cannot be sure. It still fires, moves and behaves normally otherwise as long as you don't press that button!

Some of the SS/Guards units (from late 1980's on) are lacking their LBM's but this is easily fixed for the most part. Pretty minor error.

A couple of others do it too - looking in to it...

Also a couple of problems with some of the text files editted by Monty.

will give full report after weekend (I have a "significant" birthday to survive first lol)

This is probably hardcoded and I don't think Monty can fix this, but I really wish I could get some more airstrikes as the Empire.

I do get some but jeeze, I'm drowning in Russian, Israeli and American aircraft almost every battle. At least if I had more strikes of my own I could return the favor...

Well then... , congratulations are in order!

Happy Birthday, in advance!

Download the latest text files. I've been working almost around the clock and have quite a few done by now. Put them in the same folder.

In campaigns? I've not done any pick lists. Don't know how.

RecruitMonty · #**200** October 28th, 2015, 05:20 PM

Could be that some of the text files have umlauts "ä, ü, or ö" in them. The game does not like them. I've already edited them out where I could find them. Its easy really. You just write ae, oe, or ue instead.

I've also realised that some of my text files don't fit (from left to right). I've fixed those. They've been posted up. I'll post some more up tonight.
