I see that you are going a "Portofolio" design kind of, great for media and pictures!
I wish you luck on the design, it's a good start.

I wanted something different for hte index page.. cluttering it up wasn't ideal right off
they'll have to load a lot of different pages off of there. we'll see what happens i guess?

anyone ready to play some games tonight?

sadly I have to work 12 hours.. meh  someone will be around though!  Just tell em you want to play!

I will upload the fixes i got done tomorrow, if you manage to get what you are doing to me for that ..

-88 airburst. secondhardpoint was auto targeting, this is bad, fixed!
-russian soldiers will gain smoke grenades
-russian kommissar squad will gain double lmgs in addition!
-russian bofors will share its unlock with the 17 pounder.
-russian 17pounder will move to where the bofors is.
-russians will gain a pantherturm where the 17 pounder (t4 guards)
-all factions gain a second t4 unlock in infantry tree's (conscripts for russians)
-wehr 88 has same % to hit infantry as all other anti tank guns now.
-fallschirmjager infantry tree is correctly showing the luftwaffe special infantry (riflegrenades/flamethrowers etc)
-fixed the guard to soldier command tree bug for russian infantry.
-added smoke grenades to russian soldiers, and some us_infantry specialty riflemen

bugs:
-american infantry army:
us rifle officer squad u can buy at the hq tells u it increases LOS of squads around it. it doesnt work.
-i dont know whats the purpose of recon squads, but i compared the stormsquad with the recon storm and they both had the same LOS, only difference was the recon being cheaper while it had 3 mp44s and the normal storm just had 4 rifles.
-fall of france removes all the impass areas (orange impass area in the WB) it breaks all the maps.
-"fake" flower buildings around your HQ are not invincible
-if you lose your HQ you can still construct units with the other buildings(a destroyed HQ should suicide the other buildings so annihalation victory works too)
-mines stay visible after they explode

suggestion:

-russian kommissar squad will gain double lmgs in addition!

aint a kommissar squad ment to lead and not to fight? give them LT buffs or a global fireup ability instead of lmgs.

-all factions gain a second t4 unlock in infantry tree's (conscripts for russians)

do you mean you can buy another t4 or that you can buy 2 new units now from one t4? (i hope the last coz else spending all those points in your inf is crap and unrewarding)
-lower the population people have. adds more micro and less spamming.

dl link to fixed mcgecaens war and arnhem: http://www.filefront.com/17223634/mcgechaens&arnhem.zip
(note that arnhem is terribly broken atm because you can walk right in the river because of the impass area bug)

[salan]

uh the only impass I was knowing about removing was the ones on teh HQ buildings.  I hadn't touched any others.

Hmmm i'll have to look at it a bit more.. odd.

recons, they should have 45 sight instead of 35 of the normal soldiers and the commanders use to give + sight but that was removed, will have to update the tooltips and look at that.


I think a complete rework of the first four factions will have to be done, Maybe I will rework them into being the armor divisions, and retool them to match what is currently there with the other factions.

when i moved a stormtrooper recon squad to the place a normal stormtrooper was already standing the sight did not increase. so the recon storm didnt have more sight.

maybe that impass bug happens when you convert from sgb to sga. il check it.
edit: i just tested the sga in vcoh. the impass areas were not bugged. it must has something to do with FoF. maybe it is because you made the capture points passable?

Hello everybody, I'm coming back from a 3 week holiday ... Could you tell me how the mod progressed during this time ? In fact when I left the only factions were US, US infantry, PE and whermacht.

[salan]

just block the area with another object?  I did make the resource points passable but that doesn't effect other items in the game.. can't walk through stone or houses.. hmm?

fallschirmjager and russian infantry are both fully in now as well, lots of tweaks.. I changed allies to have no menus going to do the others soon as well.

re-read this thread if you need to, lots has changed.

well yeah, i could do it differently. but that is ALOT of work and any other maps will be still be broken.

you should just find out what causes it because this does not happen in vcoh and not in EiR(just tested)

[rifle87654]

I want to play.
Maybe we can still make FoF Chinese website.
But I don't know how to make a website.

uh, I really have no clue what the problem is, I thought it was to do with the bridge you edited in arnhem.  Personally from the sounds of it you made the bridge able to be walked throu, and then had a problem with the infantry entering the water.  This has nothing to do with fof game play as I only changed the resource points impass's nothing else.  I have no real clue what the issue is but will try to look into it.

[salan]

I made a decision today to destroy the first 4 original factions in FOF, I am going to turn them into the new armored divisions for each faction type.  I don't think a overall encumpassing general faction for each is ideal with the way the news are shaping up.  This will limit units a lot more as well as the armored factions don't have as many to use, same as the us infantry / fallschirmjagers with their choices in armor really.

[salan]

also i am reworking the commander's they will go back to adding +5 sight and +15 stealth detection in their aura's... as well as having the suppression break ability.

these two things will make infantry be more on par.

the passable bridge is the reason why i used that impass editor. but lots of the map was already made impass with that editor. even if i didnt change the bridge the map would still be broken because for example you could drop AB on the river and get them trapped.

The first page has a huge change log that will be updated as a release pretty soon, been working insanely a lot the last few days but still managing to update this thing.

I am going to start changing the first 4 factions into the armored factions of their respected groups, this will cutt down on "having too many options" by a large large amount, and bring them into the balance of the expansion groups!






All weapons have had their target tables tuned.  All targets now have 10 priority, emplacements being built have 60.  The target you are currently targeting has a priority of 50... all weapons should stay on target the player wants.
-- Pure anti tank weapons have vehicles>tanks priority of 20.
-- anti infantry emplacements (flak36 / bofors) will have infantry priority of 20.
