I can't shake the feeling that i saw the 1st one before... something about it seems to be saying Norway 1940 to me but i can't find any evidence to back that up...

Yeah, working on it. Next release of PacPG will be both CZ a EN localization. And maybe more

Cool, looking forward to it!

I considered that, but since DOS has a limited number of equipment and NUPL slots I decided against it. Yes, that makes perfect sense in the context of PG(DOS). :yes But if you ever decide to expand the PGF version... From what limited research I did the Luftwaffe generally used inferior equipment ...

Just wondering - have you considered to include Luftwaffe ground units as well? I mean non-paratroop infantry and armored units? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftwaffe_Field_Divisions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Fallschirm-Panzer_Division_Hermann_G%C3%B6ring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall...

Happy New Year ladies and gents!

Never tried it with DosBox but i know there used to be text editors that worked under MS-DOS. But i guess under the circumstances hex editor gets the job done too.

I checked and now all jets seem to have the right sounds. And yes, Meteor was OK already in the first upload.

Please, somebody test the new plane sounds in PGF for me, I hex-edited the e-file , so it should work, but who knows? What??? Why??? :huh The PGF efile is a tab delimited file, best edited with a spreadheet editor (MS Excel, or if you're like me and prefer an open source free of charge solution Ope...

Merry Christmas, peace on Earth!

Ok, this feature is a great example of what happens when a wargame Developer / Programmer codes his engine to specifically support his pet content as opposed to preserving logico-mathematical consistency.

Indeed.

Interesting...

Yao Ming's wife said that since Yao Ming retired, his weight has been on the rise. Because of his height, he weighed 280 kg, but now he weighs 400 kg.

Probably lbs, not kg.

There's absolutely no evidence that PGF-CDP aficionados other than myself ever consult the Library or will be inclined to do so in the future.

Take it easy mate, take as many breaks you need to avoid burnouts. It's why work on my mods is progressing as slow as it does (well, that and real life priorities). What i find helps is to focus on one thing. I'm doing eqp edits, and only eqp edits. When i'm tired of that, i start working on maps. W...

I believe these are conversions from custom AG campaigns, if someone has access to the original version they could review what is going on there. Sometimes the automated conversion process from PG / AG to PGF (be it using PGF's own built-in functionality or external FPGE editor) can produce suboptim...

Glad i could help, but i think you'll be having much more fun if you played the campaign as designed...

This limit is very important for the playability of the campaign. If you remove this limit the campaign will get unbalanced later on, you will just walk over scenarios with no real challenge. I have set this limit to prevent uber-units early on in the campaign and also to give chance all your newly ...

Most of my formulas aren't linear but rather exponential - square root or even cube root based. I found this fits better with the scale that was originally in the game. And with aircraft movement it is not pure range, i do factor speed in, it is just heavily slanted towards range rather than speed. ...

Great idea!

You're welcome!

Yes, in determination of aircraft movement range plays an important role. I wanted to simulate situations where bombers had a longer reach than fighters which would not be able to escort them all the way to the target and back. IMO with one turn lasting a full day or more the speed of air units beco...

Yes indeed Leon, that is the point, it's just a reference list with all the icons. Originally inherited from the AGW mod and since expanded.

Next question — how (as a designer, not player) do I rename units? If I plop a Hipper-class CA down, how do I rename it to "Prinz Eugen"? Is this possible? I don't think this is possible in the same way it is in PacGen... If you follow the method suggested by our fried HexCode and change the name a...

Okay so the way to do this is within the TERR menu (?) —which I've only ever used for naming cities or other features, I have no idea what the rest of it means or how to use it. So how exactly do I do it? Can you give an example? And if I run the Terrain Type Layer tool afterward, will it undo thes...

I understand what you are trying to do, to have more terrain graphics tiles added. The terrain graphics tiles have nothing to do with the underlying terrain type on the map. The two are entirely separate things. There is no connection between one and the other in the scenario map files (.SET and .ST...

Technical Question If one were to design a brand, new map tile specifically targeting file TACMAP_DRY.BMP for inclusion, does FPGE allow one to somehow generate the corresponding new images to be hosted by files TACMAP_FROZEN.BMP & TACMAP_MUDDY.BMP ? Never tried such a thing, but then again using G...

I think DxWnd is the wrapper he's referring to. This is a tool used to run older fullscreen apps in windowed mode, which helps sometimes with older games that refuse to run on modern OS's

You don't. You can add as many terrain tile images as you'd like. The underlying terrain is completely independent from the image on top of it - you can have an airfield terrain that looks like ocean, or a desert that looks like a city. You set your terrain to whatever you need it to be, then assign...

My FPGE is v 7.4 :dunno I never tried converting a map that is non-stock Pacgen so i can't say if there is something odd with that particular map or not. What i do is: import the scenario and save it right away (export to PGF), then i manually modify the .pgscn file (set my Axis / Allied nations, co...

The default 1939 scenario(s) from the PG campaign path which are #1 Poland and #2 Warsaw have all their pre-placed units with no "stars" (experience = 0). It is not possible to accrue so much experience on a unit in these scenarios to be able to overstrength so much. Maybe up to 11 if you're very lu...

Could you please describe in more detail what is happening? What scenario / campaign, what mods (eqp file, other modifications - if any) are used, what are the exact circumstances when this happens? Strength markers in the default game files go until 20; this can theoretically be achieved if the uni...

These look like PhilipChamp's icons from his Japanese PG1 campaign (unfinished). His French General 1 and 2 and Kaiser General campaigns are included in PGF.

Yep, it appears the ownership / capture entirely depends on the flag that is set on a particular hex, and this can be set on any hex regardless of the type.
