I want to thank all those people who have helped me put this mod together, and the the people who have come up with many of the ideas I have borrowed. Thanks especially to all the main playtesters from version one, Adam, Geofactor, Mighty G., Gunny, Hiensen, King Tiger II, DEX and Nicophorus. Especially Predator who did a lot of 1 on 1 playtesting and helped me re-organize my crazy file structure. Also the other modders who I have learned from and exchanged ideas with, such as the guys at the Multiplayer Enhancement Mod Prime Minister Fiend, P3D, Durruti, Zoslo and Tyrant, and also Gormodoc over at the CDCP Mod, Fernando Torres at the World in Flames Mod and Cohen, of course.

Thanks guys, one and all.

Nice Cueball! So this is a continuation of the other mod? I'm assuming you are still working on it.

When do you plan on testing this? I have most weeknights available.......
 
Well I was thinking Wednesday start.

Yeah I dropped out for a while because I wanted to set it up for version 1.2 and add new features and test them, and so on.

O I see....So will the game be starting around the same time as the last Wednesday game, say 6pm est? I would be interested in testing this out and I can start this Wednesday!! :)
 
What I am hoping to do is run a short scenario here, until 41. 4 players, and just see how it is balancing in terms of Germany's war with France.

So I was thinking Wednesday and Thursday, or Wednesday and Sunday. But if that can't be arranged we can just do Wednesday. :cool:

ok that sounds good, I could prolly do both Wednesday and Sunday, but Sunday would have to be after 4pm est. Thanks!
 
You around KT2?
 
Hey.

So, the DL is in my sig and in the opening post. I accidentally made them "private files". It is a new feature on Filecrunch, and I did nto notice. In any case Tyspawn and I are all set up and I think Edzako is also in... so I am just waiting in Vnet, and getting things up and running.

ok does that mean we will be testing tonight then? I haven't dl'd the mod yet, but I made a copy of my pdox folder for 1.2. So it won't take long for me to install the mod.

I should be free no later than 1800est. Can't start now cos I have to pick up the boy and then get homework done. So more than likely I'll be free by 1730est. :)
 
Ahh well I was hoping for now... I think maybe I'll try and start with what I have now and then maybe have you takeover for Ed at 18:00 if that is ok with him...
 
I'm in glad to test your mod cueball even if it wasn't planned for me to play this evenning
 
got to wish my brithday with friends sunday and then on evenning I got a game.
but as i said next week i'll have vacations so it won't be such difficult to play on
 
Alright. We got it going. A few problems here and there but everything was smooth.

Initial line up ended up being:

Axis:

Germany: Edzako
Italy: Cueball

Allies:

UK: Hiensen
France: Tyrspawn

France tried to go PA so that they could do an early DOW but the Allied Control event fired and France went back to Social Conservative. Anyway, a reminder that there is no war til Danzig. It is a rule.

Thanks all for playing!
