I was trying to search around to figure out what units fall under the three catagories of Hard, Soft, and Other. I would presume that Hard are tanks, Soft is infantry, and Other ????? What about trucks / halftracks / etc. Halftracks would SEEM hard - as they have ...

Was the 1.02 patch supposed to fix the flashing white background in Vista? It is still happening to me, though is no big deal, since I turned off the desktop thingie in the compatibility tab...<br/>

Sarge,

&nbsp;I believe in Photoshop you can control color scaling when using affects - and eleminate shades - possibly the pink outline.

Question - what about the WHITE backgrounds - like the tanks?

<t> Sarge,<br/>
<br/>
I uploaded a couple of the xxxx3d.bmps into Photo Shop CS and converted them to RGB / 16 bit (only 8, 16, or 32 - no 24 bit editor). Note I can SAVE into 24 bit, but in PhotoShop CS I can only edit in 8/16/32.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway - Photoshop has some interesting effects ...

I just did it! Thanks.<br/>
I copied the above graphics into the folder.<br/>
I will play around a bit and review the results.<br/>
If you have any others&nbsp;- please let me know.<br/>

Do you think it will improve the looks of the tanks and ...

<t> Thanks...I will take a crack at it.<br/>

Do you have any guide or tips on how to create 24 bit graphics.<br/>
I have done graphic mods in the past (on other games .bmp format) - however I never changed them to different bits? So I am somewhat uninformed as to the process.<br ...

That update means the world to me.
I just tore through my attic looking for Panzer Leader!

Thanks much!

Thanks - I just joined up.

Those links were VERY Helpful.

Thanks again...

OH - BTW: Did you ever get Sarge's 24 bit graphic updates???

I'm not a hacker so this is more an assumption than fact. I have a few games from Matrix and have noticed that many are played in the lower resolutions; 1024X768 800X600 etc. Also searching the forums for future purchases ...

<t> I just got a new Tablet PC (Asus R1E) with Vista. Good to know....I have not ported over CS yet - but it should be living on there shortly.<br/>

I wonder if playing CS is Tablet mode would be easy? <br/>
I do rely on the keyboard for things - but I am sure most of it is able to be ...

especially the CS since I have now figured out how to get rid of the white flash in Vista !

Sometimes people only want to play one side in a scenario. If you could set up Random Side selection - it might be a good idea.<br/>

Armor Facing!

You are weaker with your back exposed to the enemy.
Always rotate units to face enemy = increase defense.

Is Dumnorix Derek Smart?

<t> You are right the 3 level of 3D zoom is pretty worthless.<br/>
However, I did see a message from Sarge about changing to 24 bit.<br/>
Since the orginal game was in 16 bit, updating the graphics to 24 bit (or even 32 bit) might make them more viewable.<br/>
<br/>
One issue is the "bleeding ...

Sarge,

Did you ever upload the 24 bit graphics?
Is there a list of what you have redone?

<t> I have been playing West Front and the rest since they came out and I am VERY glad that you have rereleased the series. It is a fanatastic game.<br/>

My question is about graphic resolution. It is quite hard to see the troops and tanks in 3D mode on some maps. The graphics are good, it's ...
