Warlord Hi ....I tried the SCW redux with and without the mod..and there is quite a difference..the sniper range for one thing is almost double with UKGIII in the data folder so perhaps the visibility is the same...also notice that the sniper has no binocular function in the mod as well...probably doesn't need it with that range. I'm assuming it's in the consts file but rather than change it I would perhaps not use it although I do like the aviation sounds and gun sounds. It is quite playable as is with SCW .....just takes a bit of getting used to Cheers Already removed the file from the Data folder, to keep playing as I was before. However, I used to be amazed by SCW, with the Republican armoured trucks full of slogans and other stuff, but after experiencing F40-44, CFCS gameplay (among others), I'm not anymore: Ranges are too unrealistically short; getting trucks to automatically resupply artillery is plainly a pain in the a**e; your bomber and strike planes get hacked out of the sky as soon as you call them, and can't provide fighter escort to prevent it; AI isn't exactly bright; etc. Then, and just by chance , you don't happen to know of a gameplay mod that can take care of these, IMHO, flaws, do you?

Hi Warlord Try here www.geocities.jp/kwx50/lbk/FF_index.htm and here www.geocities.jp/kwx50/en/Miscellaneous3.html for list of gameplay mods. I use mostly only effects and skins mods so I'm probably not the one you should be asking. IMHO it's not quite a simple as that I'm afraid... it goes deeper into the game mechanics and how the mod creator designed the mod (scripting use of lua etc) and the like...I remember when this game was originally made and the size of maps (8x8, 10x10) it was introduced to the public with. Original ranges and the like worked then ( sniper, get rid of AA, mines etc arty the place and charge ..perhaps an over simplification but you get what I mean)...now look at the maps today...Kursk series for example (24x24 and even higher.... couple with 32x32) and the level of sophistication (skins, units, scripting etc) I mean this with the greatest respect but this is more a thinking man's game now than ever...and the maps are designed thus..in the past modders like Manhunter, Leon and Mr Frost (there I go naming names again) saw the potential and made their maps/mods accordingly..other greats have followed and embellished upon them each putting his distinctive signature on the project...nope I'm not mentioning names You want splash and dash..play MP ..and I don't mean that as derogatory comment some players love and excel in that mode..you want to spend a day getting your butt kicked try some of the old and the new ""master's"" mods. You have to remember that any alteration changes the way the original creator designed the mod to be played but as a temp measure try this and let me know if it works for you.. but read the text file. www.mediafire.com/folder/bi2gg1ykisftk/Warlord It is a drop folder but public so you can put your thoughts there or on the forum Cheers I don't profess to have a great knowledge of the mechanics of the game but one thing I know for sure there are enough members here that will keep me on the straight and narrow if I stray too far.

Lots of good stuff, excellent comments and info and full of the ""Extraordinaire"".....but if anyone wants to move stuff around or clean it feel free to do so..it's not really ""my"" thread...MP set it up for as kind of a catch all for map download links a few years back.. Cheers

Too much work at this side of the world You won allready, BUT, you owe the information on the author's name of the chapter and a comment which are the best chapters... I will my friend but surely you want me to play some more of your GZM campaigns and chapters first before I give my opinion ?

As far as i remember mostly houses. The early barbarossa maps which are set in eastern poland have french looking houses on them.

The Finnish campaign was the hardest shit i ever played, or lets say tried. I gave up on the Suomussalmi map (6th i believe?) Have you ever known anything that came from up North that wasn't.... I'm battling my way through GZM ""Blue Division""....have to come home for R&R like every hour...if you haven't tried it(I'm sure you must have) you must.... Cheers
