WinSP MBT: Das Reich

[RecruitMonty]

Hi Oragus, Sorry for my late reply. Many thanks for the offer. I've made a few myself as it happens. Your "Crock" was very well made though. If you could make a winter, desert and camo variant I'd appreciate it.

I'm working on my Leopard icons again. Re-doing the whole Leopard 1 set. I've finished the Leopard 1 (0-Serie), Leopard 1, 1A1, 1A2, 1A3 and 1A4. Just got the trickier 1A1A1, 1A1A2 and 1A5 to take care of. I will then revise my 50s tanks so they are up to date too. Have also finished coding in armour to the second OOB.

All the best,

Monty

The SAMS will be in the Mod. The fighters too. As for the bombs, well, I'll try. I don't have much info on them at the moment.

Sorry all, got caught up with MBT mods. I'll do this as a stand-alone, without picklists, but with lbms and icons. Give me a couple of weeks . . . hopefully

Dear WinSP Community members,

Recently my hard drive has suffered a mechanical malfunction and is therefore duly being sent in for repairs, so there is no progress on the modding front per se right now.

I have gotten most of the APCs coded into the second of my German ORBATs and I had backed most of that up prior to the malfunction but, crucially, one batch of amphibious vehicles is missing and I'd rather wait till all the data has been recovered and then move on from there.

Some icons are now also missing, which is another reason why I have halted progress for the time being.

When my data is safely back in my hands I will continue putting in the remaining APCs - Fallschirmjäger and Marine stuff mostly - and then I'll move on to trucks etc. After that we're looking at Helicopters - transports & attack, then the infantry and after that the air support. Then the second ORBAT will just need to have the formations put together and then my ORBAT work is done and I can match up icons and lbms to units in the ORBATS. After that the mod will be ready to beta test.

Good to know you're still OK and working on the mod. Losing your information sucks. :-(

[Anthony_Scott]

Always, always ALWAYS backup your files to a jump drive or something similar. I am pleased to know that this mod is still alive and well for the most part.

I have begun work on the second OOB again and it is progressing nicely. I still feel like a bit of an idiot for having forgotten to back-up the last bit of work before the harddrive packed in .

Oh well... .

Amphibious stuff is done. Now I'm working on my wheeled troop transports as well as the Fallschirmjäger APCs.

I've updated the first post. Thank you all for your patience and for sticking with this project. The last few weeks have seen an explosion of activity on my part due to more free time. The end of the development phase is drawing nearer and the biggest mod project I've ever had anything to do with will soon be available for all to enjoy. Lets see how long the rest of the work I've got left will take.

Hey Recruit, do you use Germany or another (for example Red/Green) OOB/flag? And do you have any guess when mod is available here?

Dear War Hero,

Due to the scope of the project I will be using two OOBS. Germany and another appropriate OOB. Not sure which one yet.

At the moment I am putting the finishing touches to the second OOB's formation roster.

After that I'll be adding in .LBM files and some sounds. Then the icons will be added in. I will need to figure out where some of the planes and turret-less vehicles should go. I have a few.

My apologies for the late reply. Have had a lot to do IRL. Gets in the way sometimes.

All the best and thankyou for your interest,

Monty
