<t> Well, then I guess that SPCW will never see the light of day, because, for one, the Confederate oob replaces the German oob, and in order to not have all German names, the names have to be changed, and the names are in the mech.exe file. That's just for starters (screen text will say stuff like ...

<t> Sami, it's nice to see that you are still around! One of the major problems that I see with a 19th century mod. (with the game constructed the way it is, now) is the situation with the unit icons, where you've got such a limited number of uniform colors. That works out ok in Steel Panthers, but ...

<t> Thanks for your efforts, FNG! I have made attempts to establish direct contact with the Matrix guys for over a year, now, but have personally never received an answer related to my question. The original group seemd to enjoy a much more direct line of communication with the people who could ...

<t> <br/>
<br/>
FNG, if you have a hex/text editor, go into the mech.exe file and find "next decade". The related code is in that vicinity. The 19--, as I said, was in text, so that was easy to change. I've not been so fortunate with the decades and year, which are variable. In a communication in ...

<t> Gentlemen,<br/>
<br/>
As I have sought help from the Matrix guys on this issue, without receiving any response, I am asking the general community for assistance. Two things....First, I have tried for quite a while to figure out how to change the date inn the menu screen so that it correctly ...

As soon as the other zoom levels are done, and any changes that can be made based on play testing are made, a basic version of this game should be available. But, I have no experience with the timeline of a play testing situation, especially with something like this ...

<t> Gentlemen,<br/>
<br/>
I am glad to see that the anticipation for this mod. is still there! I'm sorry that I haven't recently checked in. My work (I teach six classes, and a remediation study hall, of high school Earth Science to 170 9th-graders) has had me snowed under over the course of the ...

Kevin,

Which slots are those?? That would be a good thing to know for the purpose of working on the weapons file for SPCW.

Thanks,

David Boutwell

<t> Matt, <br/>
<br/>
Would you believe that I actually participated in the reenactment of the battle of Galveston twice? Remember that I was born and raised in Central Texas, and started reenacting when I was in about the 7th grade, and didn't quit until the early 90's. <br/>
<br/>
I remember ...

<t> Thanks, Harry. Well, if you don't care for American Civil War, you could always do English, right? The infantry and artillery can already be played, though I'm sure many improvements can and will be made.<br/>
<br/>
FNG.....Goblin and Bernie have been establishing a site for SPCW at the Depot ...

<t> "Anyway, this is a bit academic, as one shouldn’t really be modelling ship-to-ship engagements in SP, on the whole. I could see some ironclad/gunboat engagements on rivers(like Hoke’s attack on Plymouth,NC in 1864), but certainly not any confrontations between Confederate ships and Union ocean ...

<t> "The important detail that you're forgetting here is that the Minnesota had run aground while attempting to aid the Cumberland. THAT is why she was "defenseless". "<br/>
<br/>
Didn't forget it. Just didn't include it, as I instead noted that the Virginia would have had to run itself aground to ...

<t> Fidel, the Virginia basically ignored the shot and shell from the Zouave, Cumberland, Congress and shore batteries at Newport News during its attack on the Minnesota and the Cumberland at Hampton Roads. The only thing that kept the Virginia from a direct confrontation with the Minnesota was the ...

<t> Goblin, I'll send it to you, but your best bet is to PM me because of the problem with my email that I mentoined above.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Fidel, you mentioned that "This would be cool if it works." The good news is that it does work, and it is, I would imagine, as good as an SP1 beta. The ...

<t> I'm curious to know to what degree of completion people would hypothetically prefer before I make the mod. available.....Would you rather that I make it available with scenarios and maps included (which would take more time) or without? Would you prefer naval and fortifications in a first ...

<t> Do you know the sound that Homer makes?? I had a long reply to benpark's and Fidel's post, including detailed descriptions of all of the new and modified buildings that I've done for each building ter icon. Then for some dumb reason I checked my inbox and lost the whole damned thing.... So, I'll ...

Noooooo! Where's the attachment! Lack of sleep (the family is gone and I worked on SPCW until 4:00 this morning) has nothing to do with this, I promise!

I know these aren't Earth shattering, but I had to scale the images way down to get them to fit. reducing larger images messes up the picture so much that the details can't be seen. So, you'll just have to settle for the small ones.

Doh!! Same image! Another try..

Another....
