I want to be able to upgrade equipment. You know, for example to equip a tank brigade with new tanks.

for upgrading equipment a 'replace equipment' event would be good, e.g.
 
On event trigger in unit X replace equipment A with equipment B, equipment A max is set to zero?
 
plus
 
On event trigger swop replacement equipment type B for equipment type A

I subscrive too!

Another feature I need in toaw 4 is the fully compatibility with Linux (by wine). [&o]

Hey Ralph.........how about rewriting TOAW in JAVA.  Then it could run anywhere.

Add to that a WEGO capability and the game is perfect.

Never happen. I've done Java before. [:-]

I have looked into a .Net version. It might run under Mono, which would open up a lot of systems. I don't know when I'll pursue it further though. It would take maybe a week to isolate things the way they'd need to be, and a LOT of testing.

I'm in the process of learning JAVA even as we speak and I'm wondering what it is you don't like about JAVA. Is it that it's too slow or something?

No problem to install toaw in Linux, then I can launch it normally but when I click on a button it suddenly crashes. I have tested toaw 3 using wine or cedega but it doesn't work.

My son has tried running it in Wine for me too, but it doesn't work.

My only experience with a java game was really, really slooooooowwww........for a long time until they did something to speed it up to being just slow.  Adn a memory hog - basic graphics and it needs 512mb to run - not a consumer friendly item!!

For those trying to get TOAW III under Linux, try reading this thread tm.asp?m=1211390&mpage=1 and maybe pm'ing or emailing superdave56 for instructions and tips. He seemed to be able to get the game to work.

Larry,
At the time I was doing Java, 2.0 had just been released. I found that designing UIs was much more cumbersome than using other languages. For some time, my cross-platform work has been Windows XP and NT. I'll have to add Vista to the mix soon. Cross-platform is necessary for web site programming, but not necessary for normal programming for me.

I have nothing against Java, it's just that for what I need to do, C++, C# or Flash are better choices.

Thanks James, I'd missed that. I think I can modify the code easily for the next patch to fix that in TOAW.

We'll need to retest the buttons, map scrolling and micromap scrolling, but I didn't notice any impact.

Ralph, I caught you on the forums! how goes the debug on the fite stuff?

I see the event that caused it. I'll fix it, and verify that there aren't any other stray events. It will take me a day or two.

Ralph, I figured you would get it done, really just wanted to bring to light how much you SUPPORT THIS GAME! not all developers and individuals care like the TOAW3 folks, ok shameless plug but this is a geat community,, thanks again to all.

I'm confused by the above statement. Was the problem with FitE or was there a residual problem with TOAW that we didn't find last time?
