Steel Fury Discussion thread

[Sledgehammer427]

I'm kind of confused as well guys but, since this thread is getting a little crowded for my tastes I may just close this one and open them back up as a pair of new threads.

Frinik, your helpful advice will be included in the new thread if this is the route I'll take, I gotta talk it over with Zee and see what he says. but I'm clocked for the next couple days, we'll see where this goes.

Clean it up, yes:

Seperate both ressources.

Unsticky Steel Panthers if you think a strategy hex game does not belong here (I once tried to include wargames here, too, due to lacking activity, that was the idea behind it).

Take all unrelated comments and put them into a separate thread. That way, nothing gets lost.

Hi Mort!( I c ant remember where in literature did I see the name Mortslayer which is a strange combo of the English to slay and the French word for death?)...

I read on the HQ SIm forum that you are a Steel Fury fan.So am I.I started playing with the mission editor about 3 weeks ago.Actually at the instagation of FriedrichWilhelm who like us is also a member of Zw´s club and a Steel Fury fan.

I have made or modified 20 Steel Fury user-made missions.If you are interested in palying them let me know I can email them to you.

A warning my missions can be tough on the FPS at times and are very much action oriented.They pit up to 66 tanks on ther battlefield and sometimes infantry and artillery-AT guns. I have made night missions, one in the rain, some at dusk I´ll make some in the fog.I am quite proud of some of my missions which are really full of suspense, solid action and intense shootouts.

Hope your daughter´s wedding went well and that she´s off to marital bliss?

Cheers

Eddie uanble to answer your pm.messaging system doesnt work. Anyway emailed you 13 user-made missions in 2 emails and one more email with brief summaries.

Brace yourself to fight against overwhelming odds. You´ll see that Zw´s mods are not the only one with actions. Get ready to fight in most missions as soon as the game is loaded.

Enjoy and give me feedback.

Got them frinik, just need more time to get them installed, then up and running! I've got to check out the "King Tiger",lol (Not part of this mission set), just saw the download for it, so have to check it out! Only 1 mission for it though, so get to work!!

[frinik]

Eddie,

I have the Tiger_1.0 mod installed and the only mission is the same first one as for the Tiger 1 ,Nepokrytoe.It rocks although I find that the Tiger II tends to have vulnerable sights and more often than not I would have to fight quasi blind.The other rmission of the mod is also good with JS2s(player tank) pitted against a few Tiger IIs on the Borki map.I played it and finally got a mission successful after 4 attempts.

I tried getting the Tiger II into the misison editor but no success although I have doen everything by the book.Let's hope they release a Steel Panzer 1.5 mod soon as there are other interesting vehicles added like the Brumbaer, the Elefant, the Panther, the Hetzer, the SU76,85 and 100 and the ISU152.I would love to make missions with those.

BTW I have 8 or 9 more missions.including 2 Soviet ones.If you want I'll email them to you.If I remember well you have a fairly good pc so my missions should play well.

Re Kursk how is it?I tried installing the mod yesterday but it didn't work.Is it really good?

Cheers

[eddie]

Sorry for the late response frinik, just have been doing other things for a bit. The Kursk mission I just received,V4, hasn't made it into my install just yet. I've been running this mission so much, started to burn out on it. I like the earlier version, with more artillery fire involved, but understand this mission needs to be toned down to run on other pc's, but it is running fine here.

Don't know why some keep going the same route to get to the village, they should use their imagination and try something different. Going into the woods, just across from the Russian anti-tank guns seems a bit absurd to me, but to each his own.

I haven't tried your missions yet, have to get a couple of files per your instructions. I want to see the Tiger II, but keep getting an error message that it can't initialize the mission, so not sure if I should get the earlier Panzer mods to try it, maybe 1.2, or 1.3? Want to try thr Panther too, but getting same kind of problem as the Tiger II.

Its funny some of this political talk is going on, I thought we played these sims/games to get away from all that crap we are inundated with everyday. I've seen mods shut down threads for lesser infractions then that,lol They should take that to the General discussion forum.
