Re: John Tiller's Campaign Series - Update V. 2.05.00 is out now


Yes, you can.

Just install the original version and then copy and paste the results into a new folder, create shortcuts to your desktop from that new folder to run that old version.

Then update the game to have the latest version.


My next question is: If I create a random map with the old 1 ...

Re: John Tiller's Campaign Series - Update V. 2.05.00 is out now


Good day

I don't believe that feature has been around since 2.01, since around 2013.

Either way, you can still randomly generate maps by selecting the battle generator, select a large size battle and adjust the map based on the selections. There no sliders, but you do have the options of what ...

Re: Mod Newbie


When you open the map editor, there are all the existing maps.

But , more importantly, there is a folder called "Master Maps". These provide you with a bunch of large historical maps that you can resize to whatever you want.

I explain how to do that with this video: https://www.youtube.com ...

Re: Mod Newbie


The biggest thing that takes the most time is building data.

How's your hand at making maps?

What's your knowledge about orders of battles? (historical, spanning decades)

What are you passionate about from a military history point of view?


Since the game don’t have a Random Map Generator ...

Re: RE: Steel Panthers complete game manual


Yo!!!!

The Matrix Manual V5.0 was apparently written by more than a few folks, a long time ago with no real strong editing involved. So while the info is "there" in the pages, ya gotta lot of work to do to piece it all together.
On top of that, SPWaW had some very significant changes ...

Re: NEW "JTCS" DVD Physical


Geez, John Tillers Campaign Series 1.01!!?? :o

That's way old. I remember 1.03; 1.04; 2.01 and most current 2.02. I still have the 1.04 loaded with the second copy 2.02.

I keep the 1.04 for nostalgia sake...LOL!


However, I definitely like the sliders on the battle generator on the old ...

Re: Generating battles in the Campaign Series


Sad to say, the battle generator has been dropped. We have more important priorities, not the least of which is to pump out new games and new game content (DLCs).

Driving one more nail into the coffin: it is impossible to auto-generate the CSEE/SAI for random battles.

We can't be all things to ...

Re: This needs work


Well, some progress has been made. But not nearly enough.

You still can't edit and save an existing scenario.

You still can't change the lengths of existing scenarios when selecting one.

There is still no real scenario editor, just a partial one.

There is still no unit editor.

This game still ...

Re: Valor & Victory: Shield of Cholm is coming soon

Wonderful news.
1-Does the Battle Generator create a random map or you have to choose from the existing pool of maps?
2-If there is a random map created, can you later upload it and edit it so you can play it? Thanks
