Re: Win 11 update problem

Never seen anything like that in W11

Try the windows 11 forum perhaps?

Re: Game Guide - Hosted

Oh yes - another reason for the HTML Game Guide is updates.

If you made it a PDF, then the entire document is a "binary blob" of huge size. Make an edit and then the update file needs a copy of...

Re: Game Guide - Hosted

HTML is already scalable in this Firefox browser thingy what I use. No idea about others - don’t use them.

Re: Windows 11

Been using windows 11 since I had to get a new PC last October when the W10 box decided to go tits-up on me.

It plays the SP games just fine.

Re: Computer controlled units

The cure, when I can read the code again in a few weeks, will likely be to disable these hotkeys since its such a rare thing that I have only done 2 or 3 times in the past decade or so, can be left...

Re: Close Assault vs Amphibious Vehicles

Welp, looks like it was the unit class that is being treated as a soft skin for assaults after all

I changed to a later model LVT with hull armour all round, and they still fired at them rather...

Re: Close Assault vs Amphibious Vehicles

No armour on at least 1 hull side == "soft skin" IIRC

(Not sure about turret side 0 if all the hull has tin plating)

No top armour == Severe disadvantage if actually assaulted.

Re: Close Assault vs Amphibious Vehicles

Just tried some Japanese vs LVT as a test..

LVTs are unarmoured.

Close assault only happens with armoured targets, if soft-skin vehicles then the infantry shoot at them instead.

Re: MBT's

They tend to be track busters or anti-personnel - not large.

They will be scattered on the surface, so fairly easily detectable unless in e.g. grass, fields or trees. Easily enough to spot if they...

Yep, I usually have a WW2 Long Campaign on the go, play every day or so, usually as Soviets or British.

Re: Game start issue

I never show the splash screen, so I just put it back on to test.

It first came up with a reduced window, inside something called an "active movie" on the title bar

But we use DirectShow, no...

Re: Windows 11

No idea, other than something is different (but still compatible with the game) structurally in those SHPs. It may be something as simple as being an odd number of pixels wider or higher etc when the...

Re: Arty Efectivnes and Z-Fire

Direct area fire is what they produce. Which is an HE effect on all troops in a hex, the same as indirect fires. But direct area fire needs LOS (though since I changed the rules in the DOS days, Z...

Re: Arty Efectivnes and Z-Fire

You choose the preferences level - its there for you or others to use, or not as they see fit.

Re: Arty Efectivnes and Z-Fire

All indirect fires use the same routines - and Z-fire is indirect. That includes the artillery effect modifier so if you dial it up to 1000 its going to be rather lethal, indeed!.

Re: Display issue

Are you running multiple monitors simultaneously?

If so - try running just the one monitor at a time and see if it works properly in the older 1980 HD and with the new WUXIA one.
