So my opponent and I are 4 turns in to a 64 turn monster, will this update be compatible with games in progress or will we need to finish this beastie before we install?

Cheers 48th,

I just revisited your question by playing the enemy turn replay for our 3x3 team game of Fury at Viborg Bay, a SM9 EF scenario, with the latest 1.05/2.0 EF executables. No issues whatsoever! And as you can always opt to keep your old 1.04 install next to the new one, I believe you guys can continue to play the game with confidence [:)]

Here she is, with Scandinavian Terrain and Realistic Water Hexes mods enabled. EF's never looked this good has she! [:)]

Also, with the latest sound changes, flame throwers and infantry hand guns a complettely new sound stage.

Not long to go anymore guys!

Just to make my point clear perhaps, we are playing the PBEM team game with EF 1.04 + Forgotten Battles mod. The screenprint? Vanilla 1.05/2.0 [:)]

3 weeks to go

An old English proverb: There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip.

At this point, with cup grasped firmly in hand, we're still on schedule ...

Expect to see another Coder Diary, "Adventures in Bug Fixing," sometime early next week.

Is there a list of changes for the next release somewhere? What will change exactly?

Best I can do is a list of threads

Thanks Junk,

Are there some more screenshots about the game? Are the uber-ugly unit 3d images replaced?

Thanks Junk,

Can you direct me to more screenshots about the game 3d view? Are the uber-ugly 3D unit images replaced?

Some of them may have been improved but I doubt the majority of them have changed. These were always better than the ones in Squad Battles. There is someone at the blitz that reworked some for download.

The originals were made by placing primered GHQ miniatures on a turntable with 6 markings and taking photos. Then painting the photo image in photoshop or similar. They probably looked good on a 15" 4:3 monitor at 800x600.

Very pitty. There was a mod CS meets PG3D an ingenious mod but its owner had no manners. Units and terrain looked gorgeous I hoped this update does something similar.

Sorry, guys. Improved graphics are not the focus of the impending release. It's beyond our time and capabilities (30,000+ graphics and sound files!). With the help of Slitherine and Lordz Studio, maybe next time.

Wow I just got through all the 'coders' threads!

Very excellent and can't wait for the update!

So apparently there will be a JT Modern Release (Middle East + Vietnam, and does that include Korea?).

So many good things to look forward to with this new release.

Love your 'Man Cave' setup bero!

Do you work from home?

Well if CS could just import the terrain and unit pictures of Panzer Corps it would add the mood of the game immensely... Don't get me wrong I do not long for 3D flashy graphics but currently CS is ugly beyond any expectation... Panzer Corps does an excellent compromise on that, their UI and music is excellent but there I lack the depth that is in CS. Result: I don't play for long neither of them...

I disagree. I find Panzer Corps unpleasant to the eyes. Far too cartoonish looking.

While outdated, the Campaign Series has the look of table top wargaming, where its roots lie.

Most likely, we will release Middle East then later Vietnam as separate, standalone games. Korea is for the future.

For my Matrix/Slitherine work, yes.

Unfortunately, with my devoting virtually all of my free time to Campaign Series work over the past two months, since the onset of winter I have done little further rehabbing of the Man Cave. The weather forecast here in Chicago over the next two to three days is

[*]lows -7 to -19 F (-22 to -27 C)
[*]highs 2 to -3 F (-16 to -19 C)

with

[*]winds 16 to 24 mph (25 to 39 kmh)

so dangerously cold wind chills.

What would I do without my space heater?

+1

Some of the non-vehicle unit images need improving. But all in all, not bad, the 15-year-old Campaign Series graphics Get The Job Done. Still works for me.

(But, oh, I so much want one more level of zoomed-in 2D. That might become my preferred mode of play. Hopefully next time.)

berto,

LOL, I am in the Mchenry area up north of Chicago, about 20 miles I think from the WI boarder so I know about the cold we are having ..lol

Again thanks for the work on this, can't wait for the patches.

And when the Middle East, Vietnam and Korea come out I'll snag them up.

There is an interim Korean War Mod out there for free right now that I made years ago. Consider it a teaser of what is to come, it is fully functional and has scenarios with it!

Unzip into your Matrix Games\John Tillers Campaign Series directory, it should make a folder and all, then apply the patch to it.

Have fun!!

Thanks man!
