Thanks for your understanding. My ambition to finish the mod before Christmas, other interests, the situation at work and personal things just caused the bucket to overflow. Priority nbr. one is to empty the bucket. Can't keep everybody happy at the same time.

Pete, sometimes in life you must stop and critically analyze your priorities.... usually coming to the conclusion that looking out for #1 is prime for continued sanity. I'm not being facetious or obtuse. People that put themselves out there for others have a propensity for "getting in so deep" that they fail to see that they may be over-extending themselves.

I hope all the best for you and will appreciate your return to the Ortona mod when it is the right time.

Thanks Tripwire for your kind words. Mental and physical health are what I aim to retain and indeed to improve Wink

. I intend to get back to Ortona by the end of February by the way.

I have been working again on Ortona since a couple of months and today Buck and I again tried playing an operation but we are still getting the stratmap error that we reported 6 months ago ("All goes well in single player mode. In multiplayer Operations and Campaigns we have encountered an error we have never seen before. When executing our moves on the stratmap one player has to go through the 'execute, next, next ' sequence twice, during which the opponents' game freezes. Only during the second sequence movement arrows become visible and the moves are executed." ) . The double move sequence occurs only at the host's side. Last time we found out we were using not quite the same version of the mod so that we figured that that was the problem. This time I am quite sure that we were using the same data.
Still, I want to move ahead and invite a couple of people to run a few tests. The testing would be to complete a multiplayer operation and some multiplayer battles. Also, general feedback would be appreciated. If you are interested you'd have to be available in a European time zone between 8 and 11pm. Drop me a pm.

I have not received any response to my previous post so it seems no-one is interested in beta testing. Given the time it has taken to come this far I fully understand if interest has diminished. Considering that I don't see myself solving the stratmap issue myself we will be releasing the mod as a beta only within the next 2 weeks.

Hi Pete,

Good decision. Now we can understand why the public beta test has proliferated over the years. Hopefully your MP issue will be identified.

Hey P-M,

I have sent you a pm with a link to the Ortona mod. The stratmap issue however only occurs in multiplayer mode when I am playing against Buck_Compton. Which is why I would like others to play multiplayer as well to find out if they are experiencing the same problem.

Pete & Buck...

For beta testing lets get a plugin ready to go. It will make it so much easier for the people who volunteer. I can create the plugin, if provided the files.

Well, it seems as a community we need to hang our modded heads in shame.... I have been looking forward to this mod, no matter how long it takes and I/WE need to support a modder who has spent so much time and effort to give us what we want.

I can see from other posts there are others who feel the same. We have been spoiled by an abundance of mods in the past, this may be the last one, let's treat it as precious.

Please post a beta and we will belatedly help as much as we can. Embarassed

Hi pvt_Grunt,

It was not my intention to lament my fate as a mod maker or to complain about a lack of interest. I don't take other people's interest in our mod projects for granted. In the end, we mod makers embark on such projects out of personal interest and it is both the mod making process and the final result that gives us satisfaction. So as long as there is a final result....
I will gladly accept your help on finding this stratmap error.

I would have loved to play the mod except you were looking for multiplayer and I have very little time for that. I will see if I can get my brother to play the multiplayer when I can. Now if you needed someone to work out the bugs for AI play I could give you innumerable hours in just a few weeks.

I suspect the first beta will be posted as soon as Mooxe finds the time to create a plug in file and make it available. After that everyone can play and provide feedback. I am sure that there are things that I can improve Wink

Downloaded the files, working on it now. Give me a couple days. I'll republish back to the FTP and notify you when done.

Pete,,,,, some problems with the files. Many files have last modified date of the year 2000, some 2002/3/4/5 etc etc... Could you please delete all files that should not be part of the plugin.
