Thanks very much all ....and Eivind and Jim P., don't be daft

quote: Originally posted by Harry Tuttle Very cool Gareth. By the way, how many seperate sounds will you be needing?

Um, I'm not really sure Harry . If you really want to go to town you can give every slot an individual sound, but that would be a bit time-consuming and make for a massive final zip. I'll have a think. I guess we could have a generic heavy tank, medium tank, light tank sound etc.

BTW, I still have those East Front II sounds to send you, but each one is 300 - 500kB. How big is your mailbox?

quote: Originally posted by Techumseh What's the shield on the Elefant?

I was just messing really. There were only 2 units that ever used the Elefant and Ferdinand, so I picked one of them (sPzJgAbt. 653) for this shield. Geeky of me, I know

correct - ISU-152

quote: Love the Guards enamel badge for their shield

Good spot old boy! You know that makes you as geeky as me, don't you?

quote: Cities/suburbs really look nice Curt! I dont think I've seen them all and whatnot, but what about a nice light blue & gold dome to an Orthodox Cathedral for the largest Capital type cities?

Curt's cities are superb, as is Catfish's terrain. I think Curt is working on using a Russian Orthodox church, Kremlin-stylie, as the centre-piece of the Russian cities. If I've got this wrong Curt, I'll have a go myself.

BTW, I've tried to PM you a couple of times Rob but it crashes every time. I'll get through eventually!

Gareth, they will have to invent a new award and make you its first recipient. Also, that screenshot has inspired me to take another crack at improving the title.gif I e-mailed you. I'll e-mail you this newer version by mid week.

Also, what can we expect as far as icons go? Will they be isometric icons or will you be going another way on this one? I may have asked this question already, I can't remember. Will you be using a new people.gif as well?

I still have 75 MB left in it, so send those sounds along : willsbuATyahoo.com

Let me look at what I have so far and I'll post a list. I think we can do a bunch of different variations of sounds

Just as a little taster: Some Germans for the modern epoch row in People.bmp...

If this is suitable I will move onto the Soviets next!



PS
@Fairline:
For the top two rows (ancient and medieval) should I just make generic Swedish/Finnish type people?

Hmm... You should add appropiate coloured backgrounds, so that they can be more easily identified...

I have tested them, and in my humble opinion - The background colours are not needed.

It is easy to tell em' apart.

About 95% of these sounds are 8 bit stereo, the other 5% are 8 bit mono. I have a huge collection of sounds that I need to merge into 3-4 second tracks, but at least we have some semblance of a base that I can add to, edit, and fool with. All of the base sounds have been editied for fade ins/outs and cracks/pops have been removed.

If we're lacking anything there's always the discard pile too.

Ok, I just got done playing about an hours worth of Operation Market Garden and I have to say that is one fine scenario. If this one even comes close to it, it is going to be the best scenario of all time. I mean it already was good from what I hear (being as I have never finished it) but this should make it that much better. It's gonna be sweeeeet.

I have missed some episodes here. Is this just a gfx update or a gameplay one too? The gfx are by far the best i have ever seen.
