The map and counters look great. It's certainly fun modding with the SC engine.

I'm not sure if you solved your recon plane issue but if you set it to have 100% evasion it won't take any damage. I haven't checked to see if it will retreat, though.

Sorry, El Condorro, I never saw your post. I have taken a break from SC (temporary, I'm sure) to try out WarPlan, but when I return to this game a very high evasion must surely be tested.

Would be great if you could release this mod as a graphic mod for the community at some point!

Presently, I'm into WarPlan, but you can download the scenario where I have the counter and maps-sets from here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nzh0ds60kb5c ... KIQFa?dl=0

Just make a folder named Glowing Horizon in your campaigns folder and paste the folders and files into it to play the Glowing Horizon scenario, or copy the bitmaps folder. Paste that into the scenario you're playing (after saving original graphics). I have already forgotten, but I think that you may have to replace the graphics in the standard 1939-scenario as well (after saving originals), lest the British units will stay vanilla.

It may be different ways to do this. Just prior to me stop playing SC, there was a patch creating a mods system. I never used this and don't know how it works.

The scenario takes up some space on my free Dropbox, so I will only have it there for a limited amount of time. Let me know when you have downloaded it.

PS Dropbox have just made some changes to their application, turning everything into an incomprehensible mess. I hope you can see and extract the folders and external files as I do.

Thanks a lot! I have downloaded the files, I shall see wether I can get it to work (although I am not a technical guy :))

Edit: Works fine, put it in the mod folder.
Can it be used as a purely graphical mod, I actually only play PBEM?

Yes, if you only use the graphics, they don't interfere with the game or what the other person do.

Ux.,
I think you might mod more than play.
(Which I am guilty of).
Nice work here.

I have the files, but it is better you ask Uxbridge directly. He is still active at the forums, but modding other games.
I would also love to play with them, and it just worked fine a year ago as I got them, but had a reinstall of the game since then and cant figure out where to put them. The Mod itself has a CTD, propbably because of all the new patches (?). He wrote that I should overwrite the bitmap in the campaign, and it works for the mods I have installed (like 1941-campaign), but I can see no folder for the 1939 campaign. Obviously, I am not very good at this.

Edit: found out. Seems to work well. Beautiful mod.

This mod should be available much more easily than it is.

The map alone is orders of magnitude better than the vanilla map.

If I could download the mod I would use it.

Sorry, guys.

When WarPlan was released, I stopped playing SC and went for the new game full heart. I have seen notifications about this thread, but thought it was for the WP Europe or WP Pacific forums. Silly, but it never dawned upon me that my SC-modding was still at play. The new Matrix forum made me aware of it.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of the work files and folders left, they were lost in an HD-crash. What's still there is a folder in Drobox with lots of files in it. I haven't the game anymore, so I can't test anything, but I will give you the link to th DB folder beneath. With a bit of luck these files are indeed the same as was given out at the time.

My favourite mod. Here a few pictures from some of my games.
Unfortunately there is a CTD when you right-click on HQs. So I change the mod before doing my moves.
