Custom programming for pay?

Post by tom730_slith »

I love the game because like so many historical gamers I LOVE playing with "what if" scenarios!
I also loved Days of Decision back when it first came out. I understand that the latest version of WIF and DOD allow for the results of DOD having an impact on alliances as well as order of battle for WIF. Not sure but think this is correct.

So here I am, over 60 years old, darn near computer illiterate, and retired on disability. Is there anyone capable of "fixing" any of the following:
1. initial orders of battle
2. alliances (I know this can be worked around with the current game, but curious as to what is possible)
3. WW2 start date (moving from 9/1/39)

If any of this is possible, what sort of fees would be reasonable to pay. I understand that "time is money" and the more specialized the person spending their time, the more expensive it might be. If anyone has the skill and would like to discuss a "commissioned work" I'd be interested. I'm not rich, but since I don't drink or smoke I do have a fair amount of "discretionary income."
Any tech gurus out there with some spare time that might be willing to have a conversation about this?

If any of these options look too tough, how about someone who could create some additional units? I'd be interested in a few air units, primarily German late war designs that could have seen action if things had gone better for them, and possibly Ukrainian units so the Ukraine option could be tried.
Anyone willing to discuss this?

Hi Tom, I projected Luftwafe what if units long time ago But I had to abandon, it was very complex work and I had no time to finish it. I was reading a lot about differents prototypes, alternative designs and secret aircarft designs. It´s very interesting and amazing. Maybe in future, not so far, I will retake the proyect.

The war had benn very different if the luftwafe had chosen other planes like her standards.

By other way, maybe you like my recoloring luftwafe mod. They are the same planes in standard game but con real and unique patterns.

Ths is my mod:

tm.asp?m=3783915

And here a picture of my what if designs:

Were you able to create new planes that would appear in the game? I'd be really interested in some of the German and Japanese planes that could have seen action if the Axis had done better. Especially long range bombers!

Well, it´s not possiblle to add more planes at least I don´t know how, it´s not an easy task but it´s easier to eliminate some planes and replace them by others. When I was working in my "what if planes mods" that´s what I did. I planned to include one or two long ranged bombers but not more becouse most of them were just paper proyects and I center my efforts in including only prototypes planes or advanced in design.

You can see in the picture some examples of my what if planes.

Maybe in november, with more free time, I will retake the mod and a I will share it in this forum.

There is a book called "Luftwaffe Over America" from 2004 that you guys would probably enjoy. All about every Luftwaffe long range project.

Recently I've signed on some crack software engineers from Bulgaria to represent them in the US. These guys are serious and can do anything. They could even make that WWII Med game Warspite (and others) have been thinking about.
