For instance: I offered to do graphics and code for the V-1, and I released the unofficial 2.5 patch. You gotta show that you're devoted to the progress of the mod, and that you're willing to help out in anyway you can to get Phil's trust. Or I guess that's it. Hell if I know, I ain't no damn psychiatrist. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andre27 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 Hmm. Still baffled about the "victorious" bug. I've played a number of games, but didn't encounter it (yet) Ok. If i am to find the cause of this bug i need reports in the following layout: Your Side: Opponent Side: (Country + easy/medium/hard) Map: Gamemode: Version AI: (the date at the end of the zip-file. Can the "Bug" be reproducced? Also it is important that a clean Ra2 directory is used, besides Blitz and the files i posted off course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major_Gilbear 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Best way to make some good Blitz1 maps is to find real WW2 maps of battles, and work from those... Try here: http://www.onwar.com/maps/wwii/ _______________Some general tips___________ Try not to use lots of buildings like the burger bar and the car dealership... Buildings should be laid out in blocks (2x2 buildings to a block works well as does 2x3). Remember, buildings are quite good if enough are garrisoned, and that too high a density stops players from seeing what's going on. Few tech buildings make them worth fighting for; lots spoil the map since they're no longer are special. Similarly, avoid putting all the tech buildings on the majority of maps - Derricks and perhaps a machine shop or an airport are enough. Don't use the Outpost. When using the cliff tools, you need to redo a few sections manually, so that you don't get artificial-looking lines, or too much repitition. Same with trees. Furniture and neutrals should be used sparingly; a few add welcome detail. Too many, and it looks a mess, too few, and the map looks dull. How much is added depends on the map, obviously. Don't go splashing masses of Ore evrywhere; it's not really needed much if the players have derricks. Nor is it very realistic. Where it is included, don't have multiple drills all in one patch. Rough terrain has a big effect on vehicles, as do slopes. Putting this all over the map doesn't allow for maneouvrability. Use it carefully. Putting it on wooded areas is a good idea though. Sounds and animated units are cool, but again use sparingly. No cop-cars. Anyway, I think you get the idea :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Romanian-Avenger 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I think the best,fast,useful way is to edit already a made map but a map that fits Blitz if anyone have some fav maps that whant to be adapted tell me. BTW i'll start working ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kremlin69 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2004 (edited) i, too, get the "victorious bug" however it only occurs when i play against more than one opponent. it doesn't matter which side i play as (or what they play as) or the map i play. i can play 1 on 1 all i want without any errors, but as soon as there is more than 2 players in the game i win :'( also my folder has been stripped of any unwanted mods and files, i had to delete the folder and re-install it before i could even play blitz.
