Fixes for Updated Mission Release for ZW´s Members

[ZeeWolf]

Ok guys, I have decided to change our first day overall objective.
From the first day's three objectives to a three separate mission
with a single objective per (day )mission. Each previous single
objective to three objectives over three days. So what that means
is I will release Kursk a mission at a time (July 5th to 9th) until
the huge climactic battle of Prochorovka which will require a totally
new 36km x 36km map, (in which I already have the satellite digital
elevation data for).
In this way I will meet my deadline and further the expansion of
new models while I at the same time to wright the new missions. And
I want the Pz.KpfW Panther Sd.Kfz 171 V D2 (AI only) to bee included
in a Kursk mission before Prochorovka.
With this I want to truly take my time and I will not set a deadline
but I will tell you I will continue at almost the same pace I am now
but with some breathing room.
I firmly intend to give everyone who plays these new Kursk releases
a splinter of what the old timers who were the "Boots on the ground"
experienced in that hell on earth.

So guys, what do you think about that? :ping:

I could kiss you :yep:

[eddie]

Looking forward to it ZW!:)

[frinik]

ZW; very sound plan I would call them words of WiZeedom! Kursk is a huge undertaking and since you are a one-man team I think it only makes sense to release it in chunks at time.I for one did not expect a full release! Zee are you sure you can't make the Panther playable:oops:?

Chucky are you cheating on Tiffany;) ?

Heavy bombardement? Air strikes? Infantry and recon vehicles? Lc this is a battle which you are supposed to fight on the frontline not some millionaire's war!Get on your crutches man and man that Tiger on the double! Or else you will be the in infantry storming those scary trenches and ditches made by Zee.:shifty:

Eddie, I have never heard of a hotfix for TvsT but you can always google...

Cheers

[ZeeWolf]

Thanks guys
And of course Herr frinic for his "WiZeedom":know:
As far as any new playable tanks are concerned that is planned but not
until I have the time to figure out the control code for a new interior for
each new vehicle. Modeling the new turret interiors will take the most
modeling time and I will adapt as much existing code as I can. The GUI
with a panther scope overlay and the range adjustments are still to be
explored. Although I do want to remodel all the Tiger E1 versions.
And that will be where I will start with the playable code. However I
would like to mention that I have neglected Soviet side for Kursk but
don't totally despair I do plan to make my new IS-2 playable and the
KV-85 as well. So it's all in the future at this point.
An update on my progress: I have finished with most of the object
placement so I should be moving into the code perhaps as early as
Friday. The mission code will be some what modular taking blocks
of code that worked well in previous ZW missions and adding a nominal
amount of totally new code. This will be like an assembly line process
so-to-speak for future missions and that is a good thing. :yep:

Cheers, :salute:

First of all

frinik i cant wait to crawl into my Tiger or Panther to go into battle and fight but to minimize loss i will call in for artillery support if the AI wants to make a Kamikaze run. Sure i have my crutches and beat the AI with them if they refuse my orders.

ZW i am speechless. I dont know what to say i am overwhelmed with these news and updates.
Surley my fingers are on the trigger to shoot these enemies. PANTHER coooooooolll. Hopefully one day the Ausführung A and G.

I think its better to download little updates than a huge release like frinic mentioned it.

To stay in front of my pc and download that huge release will meant that we are the whole night to download it. What if the connection is cut? Beginn from new and have another try?

In my opinion it is better to make "klein aber oho" a smaller update and to put those together. (this is only my opinion)

The coveted Purple Crutch?

Excerpt from the Deustsche wochenschau July 8th 1943

" In the East our forces are still battling strong concentrations of Bolschevik armour and infantry near Orel. According to Wehrmachtsbericht 1355 , General Paul Hausser today awarded the Purple Crutches to Hauptstuermfuehrer LC Summers for his heroic action against an enemy tank in the Pinsk-Panteryii sector. During an offensive action Hauptstuermfuehrer´s Tiger, disabled, was heading back to the safety of our lines when suddenly a T34 was sighted at 700 metres.Out of ammunition our Tiger was helpless when in a moment of inspiration Hauptstuermfuehrer Summers ordered his gunner, gefreiter Frinik, to load the 88mm gun with one of his crutches. The shot hit the Bolchevik tank right where the driver hatch was open striking the enemy driver on the forehead.Stunned, the driver lost control of the T34 which then crashed into a ditch.Then Hauptstuermfuehrer Summers hopped out of his Tiger and with his remaining crutch proceeded to beat senseless the Bolchevik crew which was captured along with the tank. Upon hearing this magnificent deed of heroism our Fuehrer commented that " Hauptstuermfuehrer Summers is a fine example of our National Socialist youth superiority and it´s only a matter of time before the Asiatic-Bolschevik hordes are pushed back beyond the Urals.". In other news....

End of newsreel.

Frinic, thats very good. You re frinastic

If you allow it, i will copy this text and print it and then put it into a picture frame. And if i get your logo, sur i will copy it into this text.
You really welcome a fine Kamerad.

But i must say, after this fight, you are no longer an SS Sturmmann you are promoted to Untersturmführer and recieve a new pink Tiger I tank (with our Batallion logo) as Commander.

Congratulations

LC

[frinik]

Thank you very kindly Herr Hauptstuermfuehrer Summers. I am deeply flattered by the promotion and I will glady accept an assignement with Signal, Das SchwarzeKorps or our propagandastaffel somewhere in say Italy or Greece?:D

As for the pink panzer I'd rather take a pink mercedes to drive to Greece or Italy.



Lc I am glad you liked it and do what you want with it my man it's yours to keep!

Frinic just a suggestion,

its better to leave your pink Mercedes and crawl into a Tiger. Greece is too dangerous today, too much rumour. In a pink Tiger your well protected even if the greek folks are attacking you with crutches.

Youre Mercedes wont survive it.

I have to leave and warm up my Tigers engine. Tomorrow my tank has to be in a perfect condition. Hope to put "our" logo on it.

Thank you again for my award, i am searching a fine background.


Cheers

Tomorrow is Summerstime Lc!:woot:

In the report I made a couple of mistakes.Gefreiter is a Wehrmacht rank not of the Waffen SS( I don't know the equivalent) and the wochenschau was a newsreel not a newscast but I guess you can take liberty with history at times!

See you all on the Battlefield tomorrow!

YES TODAY IS SUMMERTIME!!!!!


YOU WERE an SS Sturmmann but promoted to Untersturmführer.

You know i was in La Gleize so i was fascinated with the 101 st SS Regiment which took part in the Wacht am Rhein offensive.

Before that it didnt interst me (SS Ranks). But as i wanted to find out who drove that Tiger II and were it was abondoned i had to search for the SS Ranks.

Hi Zee Your plan to release missions one at a time is a good idea.
It must be a hell of a lot of work for you and to find, after sending out a batch of missions in a campaign to maybe find a few diverse problems (I mean what works for one member might not for another and vice-versa!!) which means constant re-working as a batch.

I always take the view it's ready when it's ready; and from what you say (and you've been as good as your word) you're very close to completion. So it's far better to have you happy with your release becaus if you're happy then we must be 99% there.
The rest will be some minor things to sort - there always is as everybody's hardware is different. :salute:

One question will the missions appear as a linear campaign once they are released ? I assume they will appear like the current missions do but maybe under a Kursk menu. You made suggestions earlier but you may have revised your idea. Whatever you do is fine by me just interested.
All the Best - Mort :yeah:

[ZeeWolf]

Thanks Mort, and yes the Kursk missions will have a start July5-43 and
a end maybe after July13-43 or perhaps Aug3-43 the Soviet Counter
Offensive around Tomarovka.:hmmm:
But right now all hinges on the FPS issue. Once I am confident that I can add more objects to the current Kursk release I can make some solid decisions on what direction to take - I do have a plan B.

Best Regards Mort and a Congratulations for your daughter.:up:

Hi Zee Thanks for the D/L
I installed OK (well it installed fine) but when I started; nothing but the Project Logo followed by Critical Error message. We've seen it before but it's new to me, it is specifically:

(Script Manager) Duplicate class "CCM1Atmosphere" definition.

Could be a duplicate file, the frustrating thing is I'd love to fix it but have'nt got time now as its late and I travell tomorrow so all the best guys I'll have to sort it when I get home in 2 weeks sob sob :wah:

At least I'll be a survivor (by default) until then. I would be much happier dying at Kursk though!!!!!

All the best for now
Mort
