Editors,strange Ai,italian Blitz,maps And Screens

[Daniel Von Rommel 0]

EDITORS:

Where can I find a editor to edit blitz extension files(used in the mod)??

 

STRANGE AI:

You say allies doesn't have ai... i tried,it function....(I have normal blitz II whit patch)

 

ITALIAN BLITZ:

I saw a file called blitzitalian, as many other languages in the main folder

how to change the language?(as for other languages)

renaming files? better to ask before I destroy my lovely blitz krieg

 

MAPS:

My ai is good, very weak at start, after an hour I got attacked by stukas and maus :D,but in reenactement maps(the first 2 official ones ) and the historical battels I downloaded from this site,the ai doesn't build units,in battle of the bulge at brutal level they make a rush but nothing more,easy to kill them all whit my lovely 88

 

SCREENS:

to remove the boring images at the start i have to add -quickstart string to the blitz icon no?

but i would to remove only the last,whit the derelicts studios ads

because i'm already a member! I don't see the point of it...

I like the first one with the prone soldier.

 

SUGGESTION:

For poor people like me whit a *** 56 k

can you make blitz and patches no longer in exe but in rar(or at least zip)

and make it downloadable in small parts?

Example

language files

ini files

terrain files

etc.<----- I don't know if it's possible anyway

why a huge blitz 3 and not a pacht for the 2?

 

 

sorry for the bad english

and sorry Rommel

i haven't stolen your name

I am Daniel Von Rommel in all my accounts

it's not a theft

Well put Sasquatch, very well put.

Har har asshats, this is one of the best newbie posts I've seen in a long time. He's looked through the forums to a fair extent, he's made a valiant and fairly successful attempt at English and split up his thoughts into multiple lines for easy readability, and overall I'm rather impressed with the guy. So, the least you could do is try to answer his honest questions. But, since neither of you felt like it, I'll do it myself then.

 

EDITORS:

FinalBIG or XCC can both use them, as .blitz files are actually .big files renamed for "secrecy" purposes. I preffer XCC myself.

STRANGE AI:

We know, but it's so flaky and messed up we just say it's broken.

 

ITALIAN BLITZ:

Blitz II comes in English, and English only. The "BlitzItalian" and other languages are all the same Generals.csf file. C&C Generals came in several languages, each having a different language folder. Without these "BlitzLanguage" files, anyone without an English version of Generals would read things like "MISSING:DescriptionOfUnit" or "MISSING:UnderAttack" or "MISSING:ThisThatandTheOther".

 

MAPS:

We know.

 

SCREENS:

Yes, you're correct.

 

SUGGESTION:

The issue is that the .exe is a very very compressed file - Blitzkrieg II when installed is nearly 500 megabytes, yet the full installer for Release 2.5 is a mere 174mb. BlitzArt.Blitz alone is 224 megabytes. Unfortunately, archiving everything seperately would be inefficient, time consuming, and still wouldn't be able to do much good.

 

As for Blitz III, it doesn't exist anymore. It was a nice thought, but it died in the cradle. Blitzkrieg II R2.6 (patch) should be releasing soon however.

Which means we need to find people who can translate.

thank you

well I have lots of small suggestions

 

FIREFLY--a bit smaller (i think)(lovely the tringle on the turret,really full of details)

 

JEEP-- a bit larger

 

ALL TANKS--why tanks can't turn on theirselves? They move like cars...

 

HOVERCRAFT--->sherman DD(amphibious tank,it's the same of the normal,only has "ballons" (don't know how to say better) full of air)

 

LIGHT ANTI TANK--the 2 upgraded light tank (urss and axis) have a problem when became anti tank

if you order them to attack the ground they move there strangely instead

 

INFANTRY-- problem with launch of grenades,they run launching

 

D-DAY MAP--airforce general-left bunker-you can move the soviet kv-2 out side the bunker,i think you can fix this making the unselectable (i'm not a good map maker anyway)

 

D-DAY MAP2--why no rush,nothing stops me from doing it <_<

 

EXPLOSIONS-- the smoke is very nice at the end of the tank barrel

but the explosion is a bit too small,look at world rebellion to have an idea

 

V1-- i have tried them only agains building up now,i think they shuold reload slower and be stronger

 

NOOBY IDEA---tanks sandbags,i'm not sure of anything about this,

but i've seen a mod(i don't remember what,i'll look),where there was a mobile patriot,to fire,he mounts a tend which exit from the ground,this happen when you put it to guard a position,like the nuclear cannon,this should be the start to make better defended tanks(i read some posts)

 

CROMWELL--one of the most used tanks,light-medium,smaller than the sherman,bigger than the stuart

I do agree the Firefly needs to be downsized, compaired to the Easy Eight its mahusive.

 

I think the Jeep is about the right size in comparison with the tanks.

 

Tanks can turn on the spot, the reason they don't most of the time is because unless its a tight turn, it's less efficient to stop and turn than just to "turn like a car".

 

Sherman DD (Duplex Drive) had a skirt, so it was more... Armoured dhingey (sp?) than hovercraft.

 

I think there is some D-Day maps somewhere.

 

Sandbag tanks? I'm sure that would be pretty neat, but it would take an awfull lot of coding and changing to the already awesome models units.

 

Cromwell, if your going to incorperate that, then you would have to incorperate another unit to each side to make it fairer. Then comes all the balancing and endless trials to perfect the new unit. Nice if it was to come true, but not likley.

 

 

And welcome to the community :)

thank you psi soldier

side random is missing

every side has a " description

may be

AXIS=AXIS makes large use of technology,they use the lighting war(is so in italian,is the strategy used agains france at the start of the war and tried,but failed,against russia) frightenly powerful and expensive tanks supported by specialized airforce

 

ALLIES=ALLIES are the only able to match the luftwaffe,their tanks are weaker,but less expensive and faster

 

URSS=URSS Count on number,their units are very chep but poorly equipped,their best tanks can macht the axis ones.URSS airforce has no hope against luftwaffe

 

i was not intending the sherman DD IS a hovercraft,i know it isn't

i mean it can replace it

 

if you can add a men using the jeep machinegun,since it cant move too much cange the range of fire(i don't know if there is in generals,artillery should be 0(or 1),tanks is 360,the jeep shoul have something like 45,it can fire only to the front

Yes, team descriptions would be a good idea, help out first timers deciding which faction suits their play style.

 

One thing I noticed, is that somethimes at the end of a game, and when your watching a replay/spectating a game, it has the USA GLA and China flags for the teams.

 

I'm almost positice that you can only have fixed guns or turrets, not half turrets like you suggest

[Daniel Von Rommel 0]

I suggest a fix to the anti rush,removing the tank,if two enemy ai tanks make battle the one who wins will kill nealry ALL of the enemys because they don't launch grenades,it would be better without them,russian have still the problem of the half tank recon but I think it can be destroyed by rifles

 

i have a small idea...

propaganda--oficers vehicles

panther have 1 space,I don't know why it and not the tigers...

anyway

the mammoth(ROMMEL'S vehicle) for axis(bad idea,used only in afrika as I know)

a waffen SS panther,they are bigger stronger and grey

a red is 2 for the URSS

something whit half american and half english flag for allies,maybe a general's pershing

with the effect of an officers and a bit stronger than others

build limit 1

 

JEEP AMMO,i haven't lokeed in the ini files,anyway the jeep machinegun fires nearli 20 game projectiles and 70-100 graphical ones

 

the reload time is less than half a 1 second

longer would be more realistic

2.5 seconds (should function for the axis bike too)this won't make the game unfair since the jeep is already a perfect infantry killer

LIGHT ANTI TANK--the 2 upgraded light tank (urss and axis) have a problem when became anti tank

if you order them to attack the ground they move there strangely instead

Thats because they don't have a turret. Meaning they have to be facing the target directly, which means they have to move "funny" in order to get lined up.

 

A good way to avoid lossing these guys is to take some medium tanks (T-34, sherman ect...) and tell them to mave past the enemy tanks. What I mean is to have ur meds cruise past the enemy units and let their turrets do the talking. After which, you'll find you've done more damage than if you woulda attacked head on, or pulled a BoB.

 

As for the D-Day maps, those where made by neo, so you can talk to him about it.

 

And nice discriptions. lol it's USSR btw, not urss. but you can just call them the russians if you want.
