NorOps News Update for November

Might be some measure Blogger's devised to keep people from direct-linking pictures. Try reading the update at my blog instead (click my sig' banner). They'll be shown there, after which you'll probably be able to see them here, too.

Ok, I could see it now. Good luck on this!

Safe-Keeper · 11-07-06, 12:35 PM

Bah. They didn't show on my school computer either, even after I'd visited the blog article (probably need to go to the blog article and open every pic' there or something).

This mod' needs more attention. Guess I'm spoiled from that Battle of Hoth mod I led for X-Wing Alliance, where I had a full team only days after project announcement. Maybe I should start a contest - "find an easter egg and get free nude snap-shots of Safe-Keeper and his pets"

? Hmm...

Safe-Keeper this a great pice of work you have here.

Cant wait to see it when it finshed. Keep up the great work

Yes, and that trailer is really good too, why haven`t you posted it in the video thread?

Just curious, do you know about this site? You probably do, but if not, then it might be useful as reference material for your project.

EDIT - Wrong link.

I'll update the thread tomorrow, hopefully, with screen-shots of the Bergen area. There are at last count, ten seconds ago, 22 new cities, villages, and districts around Bergen marked on the map (yes, that's nearly a quarter of a hundred for the Bergen area alone). The addition of these new neutral "harbours" serves two purposes: First of all, it looks damned sweet. Second, it assists in creating immersion. And finally, it should greatly help in telling the player where I'm referring to in single-player missions and the like. For a theoretical example, saying "two kilometres south of Osøyro" is just so much easier than "roughly so and so many kilometres south of Bergen".

There is a lot of work behind that site, all the names of the 3638 Norwegian sailors who lost their lives in the Atlantic are listed there, including 5 members of my family.

I wonder if there is a similar site about the British and American merchant fleet during the war?
