Re: Avoiding the "reload temptation"

Reload spamming was somewhat fixed in PG3D and Scorched Earth. Unlike the true RNG in PG1 and PG2, PG3 has either pseudo-RNG or saves some kind of a seed. I.E., you save the game, you attack, you get the rolled result. Then you reload, repeat the same attack, and you still get exactly the same resul...

Does OG support PeG efiles and campaigns?

Thanks, guys!
OG already has a lot of campaigns, but as people say, how much do you need? Just one more!
I really like OG engine so I'm always looking for more stuff to play in it

Any campaign to play using captured enemy units?

There was actually an event like that in the campaign Speziale Brigade Bistroff, CC 61. In the scenario Counterstrike at Orel. The destruction of an enemy unit at 17,9 triggers a captured T-34 the next turn. But this was a one off event in a whole campaign. Cool, that's what I'm talking about On an...

Any campaign to play using captured enemy units?

Damn, I always wanted to play a campaign where you can capture enemy equipment. Is there any campaign already done with this idea? What do you mean with "can capture enemy equipment"? Hmm, I seem to have replied in a different thread... Anyway, someone was talking about making a campaign where a ca...

PepaDrobny, are you Hartmann.Valka? There are few people in this world who can hex edit PG.exe and even less of them who are from Czechia; seems to be not a coincidence.

Re: OpenGen Questions & Bugs - Latest exe: 0.93.4.0 (25-Dec-2020))

I wonder if the dice is rolled differently for the player and AI? For example, artillery attacks the infantry, with reloads to get the data: - I get the odds like 0-4. The result is usually underperform, so 0, 1, 2, 3, rarely predicted 4 and extremely rarely 5 - when I press noAI and try the same wi...

Re: [PG1] PANZER.EXE Technical Information

I still work on original campaign And what you do? Well, some of it is as usual - unit bloat in EQP, some historical inaccuracies (I guess everyone was annoyed by FW190 appearing to early), some changes to the maps, etc. Some are changes to make different units more useful or more different from ea...

I don't know any Russian 57mm gun used in Great War - Armiansky infantry. I an not aware of any Armenian national formations i...

B1) Yeah, I play it right now, quality stuff.
B3) You mean JP forum? Not only it's gone, but also excluded from Wayback machine. What a mystery
Q2) I like the DOS PG engine. Tried PGF, not a fan. OpenGen engine is also cool, but maybe I delve in it later

Re: [PG1] Technical Answers

Once again, the only way to do such things is to extensively hex-edit PANZER.EXE. To do so, one has to be very familiar with some of its hexadecimal contents. Thanks. Also I wanted to ask how to change hardcoded unit features or class features but I can see the answer now. Is there some info somewh...

Hey guys. I'm making my own little mod for PG1-DOS and since dedicated PG1 forum seems to be dead this forum looks like a good place to ask. I have several questions and would be grateful for answers or directions to these answers. - What is the unit limit in EQP file? - What is the icon number limi...
