It's just soooooo many things to do in order to get it right. I can relate to that! There's so much to do and when you are finished you want to edit/change/create more :lol Keep it up :cool Yeah, I needed to redo Romania (Maresal variants, their medium tank, etc) and now I came to the part of the c...

RoyalBengalTiger

Send an example of these "standard engineers".
I might be good enough at icons to try make an infantry unit finally.

RoyalBengalTiger

So I'm just a couple missions short from everything being playable. Then I'll do a second run, fix up some storyline text (brief, debrief, unitpedia), and it's off for release. This one will have some really fun surprises I hope. The initial change in history will trigger an avalanche of events. Non...

RoyalBengalTiger

Is it just me, or does it double as recon movement when used, let's say, the right way? I don't think the tank that does overrunning loses any mobility points. I do think this should be the case though. It would be that mobility and not ammo capacity would limit how many overruns are theoretically p...

Map 367 depicting Wieluń. Might make a new map when I'm doing the finishing work. For now I'm still in the first test run... Don't want to use the ugly solution of course. :) I'm asking because here's a quote from the wikipedia article about the town: Rail connection links Wieluń to Poznań and Katow...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all,

I have one map where the choo choo has no tracks drawn.
Is there a way to get the game to draw tracks on the map?

I know one can add an airfield overlay onto the map, is there something similar to draw trackage over the map without having to edit the actual map file?

RoyalBengalTiger

I thought I was long done with adding units, but here is a real one I missed: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Sok%C3%B3%C5%82_1000_z_CKM_przeciwlotniczym.jpg/960px-Sok%C3%B3%C5%82_1000_z_CKM_przeciwlotniczym.jpg?20170609104312 That's a 7.92 mm ckm wz. 30 in an AA mount on a...

It's been a bit, but I am doing fine. I am doing fine finding bugs... https://i.ibb.co/JWYtsbY9/image1.png and I am doing fine fixing them too. https://i.ibb.co/994FWks2/image2.png Release soonish. Most missions are mostly ready, except I want to re-write some of the brief/debrief texts and maybe ad...

With the push for folks moving to Linux, I think the players are out there.
And the modders too, one of the big selling points of Linux is the ways it can be customized.

Once I figure it out, I will post a tutorial, unless someone beats me to it.

I also have this one campaign to finish...

Powodzenia.

So what do we need to do to get an extra zero to this count?

RoyalBengalTiger

Wow Bocelli and Queen.

Cool, thanks!

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all!

Is there something wrong with my avatar submission?
Or does this just take really long?

RoyalBengalTiger

Update - I have some maps that need fixing of road and rail layers...

Here is an example (not saying where in the world this is of course):

As such, I'm mostly quiet here, but the project is going forward rather fast.

Who remembers this guy?

RoyalBengalTiger

It seems like only selected avatars can be used, I did not find the function to submit my own (and I have a fun one I'd use, so if it's there, please point to it). And yeah, that's going to be the theme. I am also reducing the size of the core a bit, because every battle in 1939 and 1940 is a s***sh...

RoyalBengalTiger

Ah - follow up...

What do all y'all think of scenarios with heavy losses on both sides?
Is this a good reason to have a bunch of non-core units to be the first wave?

RoyalBengalTiger

Well, the way I'm building the Poland campaign right now is with the core starting at maybe 15 units, and that will probably grow to like 30-40 towards the end. The battles are about 120-130 units per side though. The idea is to have lots of filler units - infantry (sometimes regular, sometimes rese...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all!

When playing a campaign is it better to have....

Small core (say 20% of the total of units on the front)
Large core (say 80%)
No core at all, only scenario units
No scenario units at all, full reliance on the core?

Just looking for opinions.

RoyalBengalTiger

Need never get old...

RoyalBengalTiger

One more small update, before getting a bigger one hopefully. Pixel editing is a female dog, but I think it will be worth it. I declare that I am done with that, and I'm making units for 11 new icons right now too. I think I'll still add an icon here or there when I run into something over the cours...

RoyalBengalTiger

Small update. I'm editing pixels on the icons to make them look better. When shrinking the individual views of the 3D model there were some areas where the vehicle's edges blended with the background, giving a color that is a mix of whatever it should be with the peachy background - which then shows...

RoyalBengalTiger

Yeah, and then Hulk Hogan days later.

Not a good time for celebrities.

Original T-50: https://www.open-general.com/OpenIcons/mm63a.png 1942 medium tank (Romania): https://i.ibb.co/v6hLDQQh/bt064.png I changed the front to have one plate rather than separate small plates on the forward corners. It'll look closer to the Maresal tank destroyer and it would be simpler to b...

RoyalBengalTiger

I've been looking far and wide for inspiration for the Romanian medium tank. They wanted a T-34, but they had no tech level for such a vehicle. They wanted the T-34 with a 120 or even 150 mm gun mounted on a captured chassis, but they also lacked the tech level to custom build a turret that can hand...

RoyalBengalTiger

Alrighty, the previous post had the 15 cm SiG 33 gun, now for the Soviet 122: SPG (wiki states that the gun would be either the 122 or the 150, so I got both): https://i.ibb.co/NdSB6YP1/bt059.png Assault gun (this is basically the prototypes with the 122 being evolved into production): https://i.ibb...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings!

Put some screenshots here (I personally use this site - https://imgbb.com/ - to host images), and we can all collectively figure out how to help.

RoyalBengalTiger

Well then play GSB or some turret defense game. These are not played for exercising your brain but for letting it take a break, and they are popular.

I need to finish the Poland mod I'm doing first, then I might take a shot at an experimental campaign with this gameplay.

Welcome to the Open General forums. I listen to news commentators often. Open General + Joe Rogan as the background track = time well spent.

I'll start with the above very good video about the Panther vs the Pershing.

Little something.

Greetings all, I got this idea to create a new game mode for OG. If anyone played Gratuitous Space Battles then you already know what I'm talking about. This game mode would allow for a LOT of deployment fields, but after the player's army is deployed, then it's AI vs AI. The strategy would be about...

Gaaaah! Need to make this one too... https://imgs.search.brave.com/8g_C4E3X6wM_YBOSphgrbk557-d1FbPom1EBMR485ss/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cu/dGFua3MtZW5jeWNs/b3BlZGlhLmNvbS93/cC1jb250ZW50L3Vw/bG9hZHMvMjAxNi8w/Ni8xNWNtLXNpZzMz/LWF1Zi1qYWdkcGFu/emVyLTM4dC1zcGct/cHJvdG90eXBlLWJl/cmdlcGFuemVyLm...

RoyalBengalTiger

Yeah, which is why I embarked on a multi month journey to make the Polish icons as good as possible. I'll just make the correct wheel layout for the Maresal flame/command. The 1942 medium tank will be rather speculative, it seems like Romania wanted to build local copies of the T-34, but had no capa...

RoyalBengalTiger

Why the 5 road wheels per side? All pics I see have 4. Was there some other prototype too? https://imgs.search.brave.com/EymJVyqy4w6iHVdlnaW99rhq4ZkCpO4eDzNwAx2q4P8/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly91cGxv/YWQud2lraW1lZGlh/Lm9yZy93aWtpcGVk/aWEvY29tbW9ucy9j/L2MwL01hcmUlQzgl/OTlhbF90YW5rX2Rl/c3Ryb3llcl9...

Update. The Maresal was pretty wild. Armor 20 mm (front), 10 mm (sides/rear), 4 mm (top and bottom plates) Height 1.53 m So there is a precedence for several of Maresal's different versions: The tank destroyer that was built. This one uses the existing, very accurate icon: https://www.open-general.c...

Since Romania was supplied by France, I need to look at France... Guess the efile is getting the SOMUA SAu 40, the Char G1 (and this one will come with an earlier and later version, originally its gun is not too long, but France was developing some more powerful tank guns) and some others. I'm even ...

RoyalBengalTiger

Not very Polish update, but I created a new country called "Kingdom of Romania", with a new roundel, etc., because the "normal" Romania has a bunch of Panzers and StuG's in its inventory, which would not really fit the alternative history. Once I add the hypothetical units they'd...

RoyalBengalTiger

I tried a different efile and found the same thing... https://i.ibb.co/27YNMf63/og1.png What I found is that the tank cannot have a transport defined when I add it as a unit to a scenario, but then when I right click click on it after it's deployed on the map, I can assign any transport to it.

I'm building the campaign as I'm going, so I don't have the before/after save.
The EFile itself is under construction too at this point....

And yes, it's a prototype that is as a reward for a BV.

P.S. How does one attach files on the forum anyways?

RoyalBengalTiger

I have the same config...

RoyalBengalTiger

Don't want to start a new topic over this, but I have prototypes with 0 transport weight getting a transport attached. My last one that popped up was a tracked tank destroyer proto which got a half-track transport assigned. How to guarantee that this won't happen? I thought having zero set will mean...
