Playtest - Atomic Eagle: Part 1

[Harry Tuttle]

Use rmsharpe's file above this post to start out the scenario from the utmost beginning, title and all. Only then can you see everything as it should be.

[POTUS]

First, don't you think you should use "gender" instead of "orientation"? I think orientation means homosexual or hetrosexual, while gender means male or female.

[POTUS]

It's Kirkuk, not Karkuk.

The Dead Sea is too far north, Ashdod is where Jerusalem should be, at 194,116 should be Haifa instead of Ashdod, or instead of Ashdod, call it Tel Aviv-Yaffa and put it where Jerusalem is.

189,113 should probably be land.

[Harry Tuttle]

I dunno. I hadn't reall thought of the homosexual conotations. I'll change it back to gender.

I've seen Karkuk an quite a few maps. I think there is two spellings to the name. Probably pronounced totally different in arabic.

I think Jerusalem and Ashdod are fine where they are. They are so close to eachother it doesn't really matter. and the tip of the Dead Sea is directly east of Jerusalem. Do you mean the Sea of Galilee/ Lake Tiberius? Frankly I don't think it matters much. The map is accurate enough.

Quite some action here!

I'll check out the new files now.

I actually thought of this as being very open-minded; thus I would keep it, imho.

Not meaning to nit pick, but here I go


^"If the Allies succeed in extracting the ore there will be enough
^fissionable material to increase the American bomb production at
^Oaks Ridge ten fold. Plus the Brits need a break such as this.
^They'd just love to drop an atomic down our throats."[

Sorry, but the word is fissile.

And the second mission brief, a rebellion is a coup d'etat

also, The rebel won't capture caracas, and in keeping it US free, I razed it to the ground.

and it needs to be units1, not just units when you download it, otherwise it will overwrite the ch1 units.

Hi all,
I just played the latest files:
All went really well in Chapter 1. I only had to find Canaris...which took me some time.
Not so well in Chapter 2: The batch file didn't work for me (win2k), even after putting the choice.com file into the folder. When I tried to manually change the files that are supposed to be changed by the batch, I got an events error message upon loading my Atomic.sav. And yes I did drag the .sav file over delevent.exe.

As for spelling mistakes as well as any other texts to be included, I guess that's for the very end?

Don't expect too much input from me for the next 24 hours: gotta get cooking .

Cheers,

[Harry Tuttle]

Ok, I will make the spelling changes. For Caracas, you need to have the Axis capture the city. It's a must. The presence of city defenses in the city should have prevented any loss of population and I seemed to have no problem with the new event file. Have you downloaded the latest files from this thread?

and I don't get what you're trying to say with the units1 file. There should be three in total, units (ch1), units2 (ch2), and finally units3 (ch3). If you run the bat file with any non win2000 OS it should replace the files. If you have Win 2000 then did you try rmsharpe's patch file?

Remember, we are working with a new set of files. because the delete option is not working in the upload section we are working with the atomiceagle2.zip file instead of the atomiceagle.zip file.

[Harry Tuttle]

and fissionable is a synomyn of fissile.

[Harry Tuttle]

alright, for some reason the events.txt isn't working on my computer after the 1st bat routine, and I have win 98. Hmmmm, let me figure out the problem. The other files all copy though, just the save isn't recognizing the new events.

I think I know what you mean. Instead of having the original units be copied over completely there should be a units1 file so as to have some sort of backup. Ok, will do.

[GoPostal]

Well, what I did was, first I took the URL you pmed, downloaded from there, then went throught the thread, downloading and installing in order.

Hey Harry i have received none of your files for playtesting.

Once again: PericlesDervisis@hotmail.com

batch file

Try doing it in a way that b4 starting the scenario, you have to run the batch (converting events1, etc. to events, etc). This also helps when replaying the scenario after having gone through more than 1 chapter.
The choice.com file helps me as a win2k user to run dos choice command (1,2,3,x) which isn't provided under win2k anymore.
