Over the past week, I have prepared division icons for the SPQR side.
Now the full set of division icons looks like this:

Lots of Roman Marines! nice.

I'm also thinking about redoing the voices and weapon sounds, but it's a bit unclear how to implement 3 different languages ...

have you tried Radmin VPN?
Download and install it, then add me: Kanov and join the Cross of Iron network

And we can try to connect.

Looks so cool!

have you done something about the voices? 'Europa Barbarorum' mod may have some historical voice lines that could be useful.

Hi,

using CoI from STEAM here...
I still cannot play any mods, I get "unable to find operation in data, please re-install close combat" message.

When loading the mod without the custom operations and campaign it loads fine.

Please fix. Thanks.

Incredible, this AI interaction really adds to the lore.

the maps are linked in a linear way west to east (or east to west). Days in an operation are the "battles" you can have in any one of them.

If you flee the current map where battle is supposed to happen on the current day you go back one map, depending on the side is the direction you will "flee ...

Hi,

we are currently in the middle of a team multiplayer Grand Campaign using the mod "Radzymin '44" by Aetius of the game "Close Combat: Last Stand Arnhem".

We are on battle 115 I think, Day 5 or so with 4 turns per day and so far we've had only one crash. I think that's pretty impressive.

You ...

really nice.
Are you drawing them by hand using some sort of sprite creator tool? how do you plan to do the animations?

another couple suggestions if other patch is in the works:

-Survivors from teams that get disbanded due to high casualties and merged into depleted teams should get to keep their original weapons they had from their original squad. (present in the original CC2)
-Wounded (yellow health) soldiers ...

And immediately performed 2 acts of cowardice with his gun crew lol. The poor guy needs some R&R.

No I think you got the timeline wrong:
-Schwarztkopf was a member of a PzGrenadiere team. The MG42 gunner actually.
-His whole team was killed by a tank, he was the whole survivor.
-He panicked in ...

just occured to me... could it be possible to use say PNG format images instead of TGA with this new render library SDL?

is the reason for the videos not working the format they are rendered? if so could one convert them to another more modern video format in order to have them play in-game?

Hi,
This is a big surprise, I will check it out once when I get home.

what is meant by this?
-Has a rewritten renderer based on SDL. It is more likely to work properly with modern Windows.

Also, do you plan to improve the AI on other games from the series?

cheers and keep improving!

Hi,

Maybe this helps you

At least there's a small chance of a new game. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for answer.

Cheers!

Hi,

Is it possible to add Turret/Cannon shadows for vehicles? So when the turret turns, you can see the barrel shadow (and Turret) turning and casting a shadow on the terrain.



Thanks.

You can choose to not use that feature.

I think it represents that the losing side disengages and retreats to better defensive positions, where the attacker has to once again rethink his attack options.

It's a help for the A.I. mostly, in multiplayer I think it's not used.

Hi,

Nice looking sprites there. How did you manage to make them?

Very nice job!

Very nice tutorial, the sprites look so sharp and colorful, full of details.

Is there a guide showing how to make a sprite from scratch? maybe using a 3D model or a schematics image?

Thanks!
