[tsalagikola 0]

no shes great if i am on the computer working on game stuff she makes sure my coffee cup is always full and bring me food to the computer and if i am on here working 12 hours to 16 a day on week ends no problems and helps me spot problems she thinks its funny when i have 12 men and yankees have 300 charging me that i have them so they can't fire and my men bayonet the crap out of them it makes a big pile what it is i am american indian [cherokee] and my wife is [sioux] and the #$%^* [cuss words] custer used that song alot it is a bad memory to some of what custer did

[joshnolan225 0]

word tsalagikola, fuck custer, as part sioux i concur, plus CUster was a yank and yanks arent my favorite anyway, but on the other hand Gary Owen was a large part of cavalry history, but then again it is a yank song, OH BOY I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS, Someone should make a rebel yell!!!! also i cant wait for next release, ummm i really havent worked ont the fort very much recently , ill try to get it out soon, its pretty flipping big so yeah, anybody who can add o it is welcome to

Thought I would inform you guys that I have just completed the most dangerous weapon of the Civil War.

Alright, well maybe the least dangerous, but im still proud of my creation.

This here is a .41 Caliber Abilene Darringer. Muzzle loading, riffled, single shot pistol. Gets a good 20 meter shot range in. Quite a beast really. I better tel you guys this wasnt a standard issue anything for either side in war, this was just something that i wanted to make and is in the correct time frame. Youll be able to use this puppy in the next release.

[PainDealer 0]

hehe cool

[Sepe 1]

Omg, i knew that the Derringers are small but THAT small! Damn, now I understand better when they talk about putting a gun in a boot.

Waiting for the release, could be nice for a mission where you are a captive and must escape... Use that bullet wisely, shoot a man with a revolver.

[Combat Chaplain 0]

Shoot, I'm getting REALLY stoked for the next release! Derringers, Zoaves, maybe even horses!

Dudn't get any better!

[joshnolan225 0]

hey, um i was wondering if we could get an idea as to what all this next release will contain? im so stoked. oh yeah, the fort is looking really sweet but im going to wait till i have new objects to put in it before its finished. im also gonna make an earthen fort like the one in petersburg and such, itll have trenches and shit and it will be much smaller, so word diggity...

I cant wait to play this with the new version of ecp, also is it just me or is it insanly hard near impossible to get the men into formations??? is this a bug or am i just dumb???

[Triglav 0]

No, you're not dumb. OFP engine was made for loose formations of modern day warfare so it's hard to discipline men into the rigid formation of 1800's.

[joshnolan225 0]

yeah but, in regular ofp, when i tell the men to get in a line formation, they arent in a gaggle fuck of a mass and are in a line formation, yet this isnt working with the CW men

[Triglav 0]

Yes, this has to do with us putting men closer together.

In standard OFP distance between soldiers is much greater than in our mod, where we tried to simulate tight fomations by reducing the distance between men in a unit, but as each man needs some breathing space, they don't stay in a tight line, but step a step backwards or forwards...then the line looks all messy.

[joshnolan225 0]

so is there any chance that this coul be fixed?

is there a way to turn off these damn smilys from auto placing themselves on my posts???

Untick the top option......

I'm sure that for enough money we can come to an agreement.

Hi,

if you want closer line formations, the best values are formationX=3 formationY=0 in the soldiers config and the same values for the group organisation in CFGCroups, if soldiers were grouped closer there are too much collisions. It is important that the same distances are written into the cfggroup. This "new formations" work well until combat starts and some soldiers were send out by Ai...

But in general with a mass of 4 groups with 12 men each this looks like a line formation...

If you use these values AI needs an endless time to calculate possible roadways through heavy woods...

I hear money? I thought you only work with beer.

But anyway, if you will be here within a month, i'll give you 50€ for beer. If you won't you release the mod's 5.01 über-beta in a week. Deal? No? Damn.

[Triglav 0]

I hear money? I thought you only work with beer.

Yeah, but did I get any beer yet?

Nada!

So I'm trying with money now. Especially with new orders coming in ... ;)

Anyway...the 1.1 version of the mod shouldbe out in a week, two most...we pretty much fixed the main bugs, added lods, fixed accuracy, increased ammo carried, added a few things, so the general thing should be playable.

Then we'll wait for the horse to be finished, not make more addons ourselves, and try to concentrate on some missions.

[joshnolan225 0]

OK, so where do i send the apple juice to????

yeah, word on that i need to motivate my self to finish the fort then find somewhere to be downloaded as a mission template, but yeah, new objects is sweet for all parties involved... i dont know what im more excited about, the VMI cadets, or the camp objects...yay
