WinSP MBT: Das Reich

[RecruitMonty]

Too big huh? Well there is a Michael Scott moment if ever there was one.

Jokes aside, is this a problem anyone else has encountered?

I can have a look and see what the trouble might be. I am guessing it might be the .lbm files in Pictures? I hope it isn't the icon files in Graphics ... that would be much harder to fix.

Is there a size limit on Drop Box?

--- Update ----

Ok... I've found a way to get around this problem... just open the Game Data folder in Drop Box and download the individual folders, one by one. It is laborious, but it works.

I'll post this under the download too.

It's not perfect, but you get the files in the end.

Please feel free to post up screenshots, once your all set. I am sure the community would love to see them so as to get a feel for the mod.

This worked, thank you!

Good evening, Gents,

Well ... I guess I'd better get the ball rolling on what you could expect in the future.

At the moment, there is some limited scope for further refinement of the Japanese OOB - mostly tying up loose ends - and the prospect of some tentative work on an Italian OOB - recycling existing icons.

I am not sure whether I want to issue a patch to the current 1.1.7P download for the work to be done on the Japanese OOB or whether I want to be more ambitious and add some more new icons - so new units.

If I did the latter, with the current total number of Shape files available, this would lead to far more clashes than advisable for anyone who just wants to play a mod of a perfectly good game.

Should, however, Andy and Don have plans to add even more additional aircraft, turretless and regular AFV icon space, then I can add more mod content without breaking newer versions of the game.

To avoid breaks, should this not be in the cards, we'd remain in Version 16, albeit, with increasing capacity constraints there too.

Right now I am looking at the Japanese OOB - helicopters - and the German OOBS - helicopters again.

Chaps, please do put some screenshots up of you playing the mod. It makes the whole development process just that little bit sweeter to know someone is enjoying the end product. Do please also list bugs, should you encounter them.

Best Regards.

Well I got everything else but Game Data d/l'ed... Any solution?

[Warhero]

How about using some other file sharing service (Mega, Badongo for example)?

[Warhero]

Sorry now I found how d/l Game Data. Everything is OK now.

Good evening, All.

I found this video on Youtube today.

https://youtu.be/qgY6hEuciTg?feature=shared

It is four years old.

Apparently someone downloaded an older version of the mod and made a video about it.

I have to say, I am chuffed .

Hopefully the content creator in question would like to have a go on the updated version, perhaps someone here could let them know that there is a new version.

Maybe they make another video. Especially since the install has been improved and that was a complaint in the last video.

Ideally we'd have an install wizard for the mod, but I wouldn't know how to make one and it is not the most straightforward mod to install.

Any way, I thought I would post it up for you all to see.

Have a great evening, everyone.

Good evening, Gentlemen,

I have a request for you, this evening. Are there any talented icon artists out there who fancy a stab at the attached?

It is the Mitsubishi MH 2000. As part of my ongoing work on the Japanese OOB, I am trying to make a credible helicopter fleet.

In reality this machine was only used on the civilian market, but it does have a military application as a troop transport.

An icon in Japanese livery - preferably green, would do wonders. I've tried my hand at it but I am not pleased with my work.

Best Regards,

Recruit Monty

779, 780 or 782 in MBT is "close enough" and it uses a four blade rotor



Put a meatball (Hinomaru) on either side of the fuselage and you are good to go
