Yet Another Secret Project

Help !!!!!

I tried to play the new version yesterday and it makes my game crash. Has anyone else had this problem? Can someone send me a version that works?

P.S. the Game.txt file in the zip won't transfer right when I unzip it.

[Jimmywax]

I am guessing by the limited number of responses (0). That I am the only one to have this problem.

I guess to clarify, the game.txt file will unzip right to any part of my hard drive except for where I need it. When I put it in the scenario folder, the computer tells me that it does not exist. Does anyone have a clue about how to help me.

email scot, he can probably tell you what went wrong, or he can send it to you again

I have never seen anything like that before. The problem might be with your hard drive (a bad sector maybe? I dunno). Try downloading the scenario again and try unzipping it. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you to do. None of the other playtesters have complained about anything like that before.

I'm currently addicted to Case's The Cruel Sea and have been putting off work with The Great War while I play it. I'm going to incorporate the last playtester comments and hopefully convert the scenario into a series of versions, one for each playable side.

Would anyone be interested in attempting a multiplayer game of this some evening?

I believe that I am going to have to have you send me the link again. I recently cleaned out my E-mail.

A7V prototype

Here is my rough A7V. I worked on it all night after I got off of work today. I am not quite happy with the tracks yet though.

Just so you didn't think I forgot.

*drools*

I see only one problem with that one though. The sides slope too much. Anything else can be fixed with a little minor tweaking.

[Scott F]

Speaking of tweaking and unit drawing, I've done a few Nemo-style ships and a zeppelin, but I'm not sure whether I'll use them in the scenario or not. The playtesters have seen the previous units, so I guess I will do a straw poll and see if they like the new units or the old ones best.

A zeppelin...

SS Carmania in Cunard livery...

HMS Carmania (historically later outfitted as an auxiliary cruiser) decked out in wartime gray...

USS Cushing, a WWI destroyer...

Turtledove fans might like to know that the USS Ericcson was a real ship, and was one of the Cushing class.

USS St Louis, a WWI first class cruiser...

And last but not least, the last of the Kaiser's dreadnoughts (and of the only class comparable to the British Queen Elizabeths), SMS Bayern...

Also, Jimmy, I think on more thought (and testing the graphic in the game) that the slope of the sides will be fine after all.

I'm going to be busy the next few days moving into college. When I get settled in, I will have a few days before classes start to recolor the final tanks/barrels to add camouflage and then to see which type of ships you all like better.
