The Great War 1918 Mod
« on: March 23, 2013, 11:49:42 AM »
Hello folks

As probably you know or not, TGW mod is going to be released today. So get ready and download it when it will be ready. I hope that you won't be disappointed

P.S. I think there was already a thread about this mod, but I couldn't find it, though

I just downloaded and tried a skirmish, must say I am really impressed considering it is only a 300mb download.

Extremely impressed as well. :) Even as a beta tester for the WWI Mod for MoW (now Battles of Empires), it even trumps that by quiet a bit!

Quite fun! The ¨MALE¨ tank however doesnt seem to fire with the pounders? Sometimes, but most of the time no.

My English is kind of useless. But that because Iam swedish Wooohoooj! ;3

They can't fire directly forwards.  Maybe that?

Indeed it can. :)

And to fire it's cannon, I think the "Stop Tank!" ability needs to be activated.  The tank can't move, but firing speed and accuracy are increased.

A conversion mod for CoH that's actually good.

I like it.

I think that it's just you, because my males fire perfectly fine.

And it's an excellent mod.

wow, im rather impressed. definitely shows all the things can be modded and done with COH. i remember when it was thought that tanks with multiple or sideways facing guns was impossible. also poison gas is very unique as well, never seen that done in a COH mod

also, its fun having tanks with so many guns on them lol. also i dont think you have to worry about facing the armor forward, since 18 pounders and stuff will penetrate them at any angle.

Indeed, congratulations for the great job :).

@robotnik
Well, posion gas is quite easy to do(at least the coding, the color of the smoke would be another thing to change, but I guess would be easy for the 2D/3D artists), but we have never needed such thing :). I guess it is the same for any other mod around.

Just modify the heading of the gun. z < 0.5 -> forward, z = 0 -> side, z > -0.5 = backwards :P.
