GD 1938, patch and future

[ernieschwitz]

Hello Everyone,

Alexandre has provided a fix for the perhaps too harsh weather conditions that were made in the GD 1938 v223k. Thus a new version has been uploaded (v223m2). With this change weather is now equal for all, and less harsh. It is still the same for stormy seas however. I hope you will enjoy this new version.

While we are at it, I want to mention that the future of the mod is in no way in danger. A more permanent fix will be made to the GD 1938 game/scenario/mod. Also Alexandre and I are working on another big improvement to the mod, that will come out sometime later this year (we hope). So there is no need for anxiety, GD 1938 will continue to be developed, and made better, over time.

Also this feud I have been having with one player in particulary has been more over the style of his criticsms more than the actual content of it. I will admit that the certain player has a few points, that will be adressed, and some that won't be. I do however in no way condone his behavior, and will not except it now nor in the future. If you have some disagreement with me, over a design choice, be civil about it. PM/email me or make a suggestion on the boards, but don't demand it or behave childish.

Hi, ernie, it seems you made a few changes to my fix (proably code corrections), could you send me the new version?

I am excited that new things are in store for this game/mod.

You and Alexandre have given this community a game so good that we can save the money on "Strategic Command" and computer "World in Flames". Here in the comfortable world of Advanced Tactics Gold we have a model of WW2 strategy that gives us an excellent alternative to a big spend. Thanks to both of you, and be sure your efforts are not unnoticed.

One things those who play this mod should consider is bringing new players in via a "newb" game, or, at least, giving them a lesser great power. Putting a brand new player in a major (GR-GB-USSR-USA-Japan) against experienced players can result in poor learning experiences. We need to grow the GD1938 community. There is so much here for a player, but a brand new contestant getting in the ring with 20 game veterans is daunting. We need to expand the player list. Invite your friends!

That really is great news. I look forward to starting a game with the new version.

Thanks all for your continued efforts.

I also agree with Chuck, let's see if we can't get a "New" player thread going, I wouldn't mind helping someone new learn.

I already wasted money and bought the new Strategic Command and it is definitely not as good as ATG. You can do pretty much everything and more with the ATG engine that you can do with SC.
