Matrix Games Forums

In the gold version of Danger Forward you couldnt add bocage terrain hexes, can you add them now?

I don't see bocage as a choice anywhere. There is a choice for terrain that you can name whatever you like. I see a couple of blank spots on the bmp with the terrain tiles. Maybe you can add a graphic and name it bocage then give it a value?

Bocage terrain is on the Carentan map, and if you open the Carentan map in the editor you see the bocage hexes. But, at least in the gold version, you couldnt add bocage hexes. This was something I remember asking on the Shrapnel games forums several years ago and no one ever replied. Its interesting that SS and Red Army icons were in the old terrain tiles, they just werent selectable.
Since you included SS and the Red Army for this reissue, Matrix can you fix this?

I see what you mean but I can't find a way to mod the editor or get bocage terrain.

Knight, that issue about the Bocage is interesting. I'll ask Micheal about that one, or possibly he will comment here. I've also noticed that the Frozen Lake option, seems frozen itself N.P.I.

The editor package was not supposed to be a focus of the beta, so you may have discovered something that slipped through the cracks.

When I think about it, under the environment selection, there probably could also be added a JUNGLE tag as well, since we have a graphic template for it. Technically though, this field has no influence at all on either the weather or battle mechanics at all, but is there for aesthetics when a player decides to bring up the scenario data info.

The issue you stumbled into regarding the SS & Commie units in the past is something I recall now wondering about myself. I also noticed that the Tank Destroyer units were using the same Nato symbol as that for a general Tank, and the Armoured Engineers were using the same for regular engineers (despite they had their own graphic slots), so I asked Boku to change that as well, which they did.

Thanks for the attention on this guys, I know technically its a small issue but its one of those irritating niggles that may keep some from re-buying it.
I look forward to buying it as soon as its fixed.

Obsolete I figured out how to get jungle terrain and the others and made a post in the Mods and Scenarios on how to do it.

I also noticed when I opened the Carentan scenario in the editor that there is a brown "N" over many of the towns. It does not appear on the map in the game itself. The graphic file shows the "N" as one of the items drawns (it it the 13 item on the first row), but no documnetation on what it means or how to place it. The editor does not appear complete. 

In the editor is a tile called Name. Place it on the map and you get a popup to type in a name. After that a N appears on the map. I didn't test it any further but I suspect that a mouse over would show that name that is typed in. ?

Thanks Junk

Correct, in blue as a city name.
