About Victory/Defeat Screen and Control Point
« on: March 14, 2013, 10:28:28 PM »
I wonder if there is a solution to an issue, it already extends too long, for me it generates a huge discomfort. I've seen other mods that a solution is possible.
I also have problems with CTD and sometimes locks.
-
  Come to the point, these are small problems that need resolution:
-
- Victory \ Screen Defeat of Russians (This really Bothers)
- Remove star allies of the Russians (control point) similar to British army
- Legs of soldiers entering the tank (Russians)
-
If possible fix in next version
is an awesome mod, but without these corrections is not playable for me.
I believe that other people also feel that
-
Thanks

If this things made the mod not playable for you, I'm afraid you won't play it then, because neither bug number one nor bug number 3 can be fixed; although the third one can be tweaked to certain success I guess, but cannot  be "fixed"(you are talking about Tank Riders right?). Now, I don't know what do you mean with the second point so, could you explain it further? Maybe you could bring a couple of screenshots to back up your claim?

Thanks for the feedback and welcome to the EF forums.

Greetings
Thanks for the reply

This mod is only for me and has a lot of potential in my opinion, and a bit boring but be defeated or victorious with Russian and see a screen "wehrmacht".
I do not want to be rude I imagine it must be a difficult job, and I respect that.
But fix this for me would be the key, the rest was just details.
Adding a little later here was where I thought it would be "possible" change this "screen":

On the second point, in a game skirmish for example there is the "Win Condiction"
has the option to "Control Points" to start the game and has several flags that must be conquered. when an army takes the flag that stands with the flag of the country.
In case if I am "wehrmacht" vain and take that flag up two flags to the mast, a larger and a smaller one on top underneath.
But I some armies appears just flag down when captured, which is the example of the army "British" which only appears blue flag with the symbol of the original british.
You already know what I'm talking more if you need a screenshot I can tell for sure
-
About soldiers over the tank if I'm not mistaken happens in T-34 and one who does not remember where you put conscripts over the tank.
-
It is very important to your answer, and do not take this as an objection, but as a suggestion for improvement.
-
It's almost perfect, just missing these details in my opinion.

Thanks again

Now I understand the second point. The behavior they should have is as follows:

All the axis armies share the same "main" flag because belong to the same "team", but in the second mast is used the particular flag of a given faction.

Allied armies are not like this, CW and US are on the same team but not stand for the same "flag", so only US has the big flag on the Victory Points. However, as Soviets flags were based on US ones, they got the first flag as well. What I can do is either to remove the big flag for Soviets or to add it for the Brits, so they act the same as the Germans(the big flag only symbolizes the team under they rally).

We could use a different big flag for Soviets and Brits however, adding just a bigger flag with the same design than the one they current use would be pointless. Maybe Brits could have the Great Britain flag, but US do not use their real flag for the game as far as I know, so that would be a bit unfair and fans will ask to change the US flag as well ;).

I'm not sure what option might be preferred though.

EDIT:
Btw, what I'd do is:
a) Leave it as it. Too much work for a minimal gain.
 - OR -
b) Add the Green Star flag to brits. They belong to the same team after all and that's what the flag should represent IMO.

And on the first point there is nothing to be done? you could not have a conversation with another developer's mod? to see on this code that changes the screen
-
I'm sorry if I was a bit rude as to say that could not play, but it was something that really bothered me, I entered this discussion exactly why I like this mod
-
On the second point I completely understand the point of view, and I agree
-
Even if nothing can be done to the first point, I am grateful for the attention, good job with the mod
-
And I'm waiting for the next version
-
Thanks for the replies and the mod  :)

Unfortunately, there is no code to compare with, because we are the first and the only mod than adds additional factions to the game at this very moment. The others just replace the original screens, not add new ones.
