If not, which makman gui version is he referencing to get the .tga files from ?

Not sure as I do not use this.

In looking at the .exe for JFO in is dated 03/03/2013 and looking at Makman Gui's It appears that version 3.4 or earlier would be your choice.

Good hunting,

Thanks, in doing some more digging I came across a post where rude warrior says he's using Magui F.
Think I'll download that and pull the needed .tga files from it vs using the one's I already have.

Or maybe the JFO executable provides the needed files. Lots of testing to come. :hmmm:

John, sorry for not be better help as it was a while ago I set JFO up and the details fail to come to memory. But the effort will pay off in keeping SH3 challenging.

One thing I did do was set up a different JFO file for GWX, NYGM and WAC.

That's not meant to be braggadocio; more of what seems to be fact.

That would be von C's rule 1::yep: "In all things be very strong."...starting with good geography ie: don't be 'twixt the British Empire to the West and the Russian Empire to the East; seeking "a Teutonic place in the sun" from 1914 to 1945...with a 20 year armistice to grow more expendible cannon fodder. We live in the chaos of the 20 th century's still no wiser(gotterdammerung) and are in WW 2.5 with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea all at the same time.... thanks fer nuthin' Wilhelm II.:Kaleun_Salute: :hmmm:

Not a problem ! I don't think it will be to difficult to figure out. Yes, just reading the read me has me looking forward to trying it out.

You should see my dogeared, margin-notes crammed copy of Clausewitz ON WAR I've got Blair's two volume on kindle-saves wear, tear and space on my stressed out military-book shelves. Considering Germany's generals utilized this book :
 
On War is an unfinished work. Clausewitz had set about revising his accumulated manuscripts in 1827, but did not live to finish the task. His wife edited his collected works and published them between 1832 and 1835.(a little like Lucy Custer writing about George Armstrong C.; and perpetuating a myth to earn a living in widowhood :hmmm:??!!) His 10-volume collected works contain most of his larger historical and theoretical writings, though not his shorter articles and papers or his extensive correspondence with important political, military, intellectual and cultural leaders in the Prussian state. On War is formed by the first three volumes and represents his theoretical explorations. It is one of the most important treatises on political-military analysis and strategy ever written, and remains both controversial and influential on strategic thinking. On War is a work rooted solely in the world of the nation state...It has been blamed for the level of destruction involved in the First and Second World Wars, but it seems rather that Clausewitz (who did not actually use the term "total war") had merely foreseen the inevitable development that started with the huge, patriotically motivated armies of the Napoleonic wars. These wars resulted (though war's evolution has not yet ended) in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with all the forces and capabilities of the state devoted to destroying forces and capabilities of the enemy state (thus "total war"). Conversely, Clausewitz has also been seen as "The preeminent military and political strategist of limited war in modern times." who knows, maybe von C.'s wife is the real culprit; and not der Kaiser Wilhelm....:hmmm:

Hi,


it's interesting that the order to remove the deck torpedoes is based on the vulnerability of the canisters during depth-charge attacks and not on the danger of loading them.


Best, LGN1
