Ok thanks
I have managed to export the maps to get an OVM image. How do I also get the text to show for locations and how do I know which map is which as they are just numbered Map00, Map01, etc?
Thanks |

Has anyone played this please?
http://graviteam.com/games/GTOS.html?action=reviews
If so how does it compare to CC? I am looking for a new type of CC like game with better AI, does this fit the bill? Or any other suggestions? The AI in CC is just a killer for me now.
Cheers all

Thanks all for the replies, i had a look at some of the game files but it makes no real sense to me i must admit. I couldn't find victory locations referenced anywhere.
Out of curiosity would it be possible to add hidden victory locations to a map? Was thinking that hidden high value VL's may make the AI attack a certain spot or direction.

Thanks again mate for your reply.

Maybe adding main objectives for the enemy will make them move, in other words making victory location worth 200 points on the map, changing their stats to Primary objective?
|
Is that something i could do? Is it straightforward or will it cause problems with campaigns etc? What i mean i suppose is if just the settings you refer to are changed would everything else play as it is supposed to, just with the AI a little better at attacking?
Also is that the only setting that affects where the AI attacks, they just head for the VL with highest value? Would they attack two if they had the same value? What if somehow the VL values were randomized every turn would that help?
cheers again

Thanks for taking a look Gunsche, just had a similar experience although with different results.
03.00 battle St Odenrode 18th Sept, i hold the map the Germans attack from the left hand side. I intentionally pulled back to just defend the bridges, the AI made a small probe right down the main street then not much at all.
I sent a recon team out to see what was happening and found them all pretty well where they started, by the end of the game i think they took 2 VL's which were very close to them and i was not defending, but hadn't made any effort to attack anything in strength.
What decides how and where the AI attacks? do they always do the same thing? They could have taken most of the map easily as i was not even defending it. I realise the limitations of the game but is there any way to get a better attack routine from the AI?
Not a criticism of your mod mate in anyway, having some really enjoyable attacking games, but most of the defending games turn out to be pretty flat unless you actually take the game to the AI.
cheers mate

p.s if i add the update to an already existing game will it mean i have to start a new campaign? |

Gunsche
I have just started a campaign with this mod mate still on day one, i have played about 8 battles so far and must say i am really enjoying it, the AI is making me pay to take any ground. However i have noticed one thing, which i do not suppose is down to your mod in particular but more to do with the base game.
All except one battle have been attacks by me so far (playing as Allies), the one battle however where the Germans attacked proved to be a bit of a dissapointment though. I am not sure what map it was now, but it was an American landing ground onto which the Germans attacked from a relativley small deployment area.
The AI did not handle it at all well, they kept trying to attack one victory location only and just kept coming across an open field in small groups, i think i only used two squads in total to deal with the attack. Looking at the German roster after the battle (which ended in a morale failiure for the Axis) they had a good strength battlegroup and should have made me pay more.
I know there are problems with the base game and AI attacking routines, but is there anything that may be altered in any files to make the AI attack better? Wether more agressivley or at least attack more than one victory location and/or use their resources better?

Sounds good to me mate (though i would probably leave out the fishing )
Wasn't aware there were different versions, if you find a later one or anyone reading this has one would be interested in getting a copy.
Best of luck Michael, hopefully you may feel like updating it someday.

Thanks again Michael
dont know why my images do not show, so i posted a direct link to them again above mate. Not sure wether i have the correct version or not now?. The splash screen looks different to yours but definately says vetbob at the top, the team rosters do appear to have the 2 teams missing like in your image.
Yes the desktop launch icon says vetbob and has the famous German soldier image the same as this
http://www.battlefieldhistorian.com/german_soldier_carrying_ammunition_during_the_ardennes_offen.asp
I have reinstalled a few times, and as you can see from my loading screen image above i have the most up to date patch.
thanks for your help again mate

Thanks for the reply mate. I don't get those screens on my game, i downloaded vetbob1 from the link here
http://www.closecombatseries.net/Hosted/platoon_michael/VETBoB/
upon installing it i get these screens.
Loading screen

I can confirm i am not playing Firefox's WaR AOVetBoB ver1.03 Mod, as i have this installed aswell and its different again.
Would really appreciate an updated link to the one you have shown above please Michael.

johnsilver
Plan to have a try of this next mate, at the moment i am still playing INSIS by Gunsche. I am really enjoying it, it seems a lot harder to get kills and the AI seems to be making me pay for any ground i win.
Just to make things clear (again! ) The version of vetbob 1 you are using is the one we referred to hear?
http://www.closecombatseries.net/Hosted/platoon_michael/VETBoB/
I only ask as i tried the first few missions just to see if i had the correct mod, but i didn't notice any slots missing from Axis BG's, initially anyway. Although i have only played a few of the initial night missions to be fair.
If your using a different version with any further updates could you post a link please mate?
cheers
