Great work, AntiquePunk! I enjoy seeing you making progress. When a new modder arrives on the scene it always remains to be seen how determined they really are, but you are definitely earning your stripes!

There is a beta available for TLD and you can download it here: https://filedn.com/lgfBH2TMCHxYbUlxpDB37c4/Close%20Combat%20Series%20Downloads/Close%20Combat%20The%20Longest%20Day/mods/TLD_RedStormRising_v1.01%20-%20beta.exe

Well, my teams did not receive the necessary training apparently , no green circle against vehicles with the Faust teams.

The instructions on the Panzerfaust are in German, that might explain why the Russians used them incorrectly.

Hey JohnSilver,

The mod repository is right here on my pCloud drive: https://filedn.com/lgfBH2TMCHxYbUlxpDB3 ... Downloads/
I am sure most of what you have is already in there but if you have additional mods or custom maps then I'd be interested in adding them.

It died pretty quickly, probably due to lack of funding.

Hi Drizzt,

The files are there but flagged by google as suspicious. I suspect because of the installer. I can keep re-uploading the files because it happens frequently. I am not sure what I can do about them being flagged.

Yes it is. It is in the mod repository. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

Unfortunately, the small maps mod is not available but I am going to try and find it and add it to the repository.

If I understand correctly, there are eight different 'arcs' possible, each represented by a bit. By combining bits you can combine 2 or more arcs. So it's not as accurate and customizable as I had hoped for. Knowing this, I can at least make an informed choice.

Thank you for the explanation, Steve. It does not make much sense to me though as I am not educated in this area, but I will try and figure it out

@Steve,

Would you be able to answer my question on how to calculate the firing arc value?

Thank you,

Pete

I am glad to see you making progress!

Hey Argilas, thanks for posting these links, including my Google drive. I noticed those discord invites were only temporarily available. Could you set them so that they never expire please.

Oh, thank you so much for the link!
I see that a fairly old game does not have a small community, it pleases!)) I thought that the forum on matrixgames and closecombatseries was all that was left of the communities.



The community moved to Discord :)
There is a second group but less active ...

There is a discord group where you can get responses from more modders if needed. https://discord.gg/h3WABBbv

You really need to download the 5CC tool and read the comprehensive manual. It's all you need for the technical side of creating maps.

Hi Antiquepunk,

I don't think that the Close Combat series is a good platform for your idea. It is still that game that was designed in the 1990's.... There is no fog of terrain possible. Connections between maps are rigid. The graphics are TGA and rigid. Line of sight in a map can be edited with ...

To all players of Gateway to Caen. We have finished our mod The Dieppe Raid. This mod is about operation Jubilee, which was a divisional raid on the seaport of Dieppe and its surroundings on 19th August 1942. It was a major failure for the predominantly Canadian troops.

Thanks Steve, I aprreciate your continued support.

Hi Steve,

I have another question as I am about to finish a mod but I am not quite happy with battle group behaviour on the strategic map.
What affects battle group behaviour on the strategic map more, the settings in the campaign file or in the battle groups file?
I set German bg's quite ...
