paratroopers which spawn into soldiers when they hit the ground.

Jel - does the current line of 160 exes support the code you developed in May 2016 whereby by falling paratroopers don't explode when they hit the ground, but spawn into the "little men"? Ray - am I right in thinking the current default weapons availability for 160 includes both cargo para...

Re: Making minipix appear in selection screen

Okay, found it.

The "NoMiniPics" flag text file is buried in the GameData folder.

Making minipix appear in selection screen

Can someone please remind me how to make the fsmplane.wsp minipix appear in the mission selection screen as opposed to the text aircraft name.

Ta!

Balkan trains

This is Gibbons' Hejaz train, originally developed for the Iraq 1914 scenario. I'm thinking of using it on the Serbian/Greek section of the railway in the Balkan theatre.

Going to have to do some of that length/gap adjustment.

Re: More about trains

I need to adjust the distances between the various items of rolling stock. I'm assuming this basically set by the dimensions of the model in its tmod.dat, with additional general adjustment in the tlist.mpf file.

Re: More about trains

I had wondered whether the tmog system also worked with the mobile mods. Was going to do some experiments. The answer to this is that it does. I have WingmanT's Soviet Armoured train running on the Russian railway lines in 1944. http://mogggy.org/pictures/SCRN0871.jpg As the tmogs for the armoured ...

Re: More about trains

Thanks Jel, I guessed that was the way it worked. I was out of it when most of these railway changes came in, so only really grappling with them now.

More about trains

Jel, I used TList Editor to edit TList35.mpf, which relates to the lines in the Russian area, mainly to get in the Soviet Armoured train model. I did a mixed interdiction mission to Belaja Tserkov, which I hoped would pick up the railway, and it did. But the game then CTD'd looking for a file called...

Re: New Adriatic/Balkan/Russian theatre for EAW

Ray - would welcome assistance in sorting out local target layout, shipping and otherwise. Virtually all the targets are still default layouts.

I get really fed up sometimes with national/global situations. But as Holmes observed to Watson, "work is the best antidote to sorrow".
