HEEEEEEEEEEELSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGBOOOOOOOOOOOOOORG! !!

Sry, couldn't help myself. I love shameless ranting about your home town. (We bet Galatasaray in Istanbul after all.....)

Beautiful screenies btw!

I made the German more agressive. Perhaps too much?

This is just the first part, until december 41, when the player must change to the winter 41/42 part 2.

the house rules are :

- No selling of antitank defences.

- No unit movement, sales or build queue changes allowed in the phantom June 1941 turn.

- No moving or rehoming of fortified positions.

- No building of airfields as substitutes for RR.

- No selling of NKVD Headquarters.

- No renaming cities.

@Colwyn
If you want to add some events in this part, let me know...

If I understand this right, this particular rule is not needed for ToT. Airbases do not give the RR bonus in that Civ2 version.

@boco
Thank you for this precision.

[curtsibling]

That reminds me - Airbases are the only thing to be still upgraded and then the cities are all done!

@Gareth and Curt
thank you both...
Your efforts will give to Redfront a second youth ...

Great work, guys.

The only thing keeping RF from perfection is the fact that you can't overthrow the Communist government of Russia and/or cede Europe to the Anglo-American coalition...

@MacGalleo

Sorry, but could you please upload a set of files that works properly, without players having to figure out why units are invisible, why Hitler offers a cease fire during the ghost turn etc. etc..

1. Files labelled Rules1, Events1, Units1 will obviously not work.
2. I think that testers would also appreciate the 2 terrain files so they don't have to use vanilla TOT and a City file where the Soviet civ is red.
3. The scale of the .scen file should be changed to ctrl Z so the ghost turn is not played on a microscopic map.
4. I would also suggest that you put all the files to be uploaded in a folder on desktop and begin the game. If it works properly for you, it should work properly for anyone who downloads it.

[MacGalleo]

Sorry for the lack of explanations, I explain how to use the files.
You just have to install the Catfish's redfront tot. Then overwrite Rules1, Events1, Units1, game, redfront.scn with the files which are in my zip and choose the part 1 from the redfront.bat menu.
If there 's some problems with this method, I will upload the minimum files needed to test it.

Curt posted a link to the catfish's conversion in the previous page.

[MacGalleo]

Unfortunately, for the scale of the .scen I think when we load a scn, it's a default scale. Is what I am wrong?

[MacGalleo]

Otherwise this is the minimum required for the test : (with no need of the first zip file)

[AGRICOLA]

Could you please put ALL the needed files in one zip and make sure it works? Right now, the events1.bak file is not a text file and is not loaded when the scen starts up.

Please try to assemble a more user friendly package for us dumb users.


I think you can change the scale of a .scn file by renaming it .sav, opening it, changing the scale, and saving it as .scn.

Edit: Cross - post

I'll check it out ASAP.

[MacGalleo]

Does the second zip work?
For the scale, It doesn't work...

[AGRICOLA]

Things look OK after ghost turn.

Scale worked fine for me.
