# Night turn? 0 or 1 (for yes or no), one entry per day

Hey schrecken, you think that a "night" flag would be too difficult to implement? kinda like winter flag, except if true, night teams perform as if it was day or something like that or rather make night fighting fright soldiers more and night teams may be exempted of that penalty.

Night has no use if you can't take advantage of it.


PS. winter affecting vehicles will be enabled again? different skins for different weather?

[schrecken]

As it is now you can move your teams around with less chance of discovery and when seen weapon accuracy is reduced.

Wow...so happy to hear this is up and running  

I also think it would be cool to implement night battles if possible and somewhat historically accurate.

With regards to the troop and vehicle data. This is a winning formula already and no need to change it unless you must (except to correct any previous inaccuracies as you mentioned).

Although one thing i feel about the original GJS is that vehicles such as halftracks are extremely vulnerable to mortar fire. Does anyone else agree?

Good luck Cathartes and thank you i think from the whole CC5 community!

TLD can also allow the British para troops to start at random locations on the Merville battery and Pegasus bridge maps during the first night turn, right?

Is this something you will make use of?

[southern_land]

More maps, more maps, more masp, mor empas!

GJS for TLD    
when its ready ..will it load like GT with its own executable and shortcut???

[schrecken]

At the moment there is two ways to Load mods.

1. Using Berndt's Brilliant Installer which installs the files to a sub-folder and not altering the stock game .. this doesn't change the exe.  ....  H2H can be played if you swap IP addresses



2. using modswap which works similarly to config manager.. this can change the exe but is not compulsory.. This also allows games to be launched on GameRanger for H2H play


3. of course if there are two ways , then there is a third... you can manually copy in mod files.. Fraught with danger and may corrupt your installation...  H2H can be launched on GameRanger.

thanks schrecken..........so im guessing that GT1.6 used to use method one and now uses method 2 becuase of GR. i have to get the mod swap program i guess.

gone are the days of the config manager and plugins i take it.  

[schrecken]

Config manager doesn't work and unfortunately is no longer supported

Good news indeed!

Don't you need to edit the VL's to allow for random deployments to occur? I think David had to do it for GT mod, not sure though.

[schrecken]

I think David had to Un-edit the VL's as they were coded as fixed not random.

[davidssfx]

Random drops at Merville and Pegasus may not be a good idea ... since Allies sometimes deploy in German positions (for example: in Merville bunkers and in Pegasus buildings. There is no way to have Allies never land in certain zones (where you wouldn't want them to) ... with random drops enabled.
It does work well for other AB maps though, that don't have areas specific to one side.

For Ground Tactics ... I just moved the single fixed deployment zone (for the Allies) to another nearby location, for a bit of variety compared to the stock version of TLD.

[schrecken]

That would be a nice feature wouldn't it ... A "don't land here VL" marker

[Cathartes]

still tinkering away trying to get some of the art files to properly match up.  lots of other small loose ends in the data that affect how force morale is calculated.  If this is too tedious, may just release with other loose ends as "beta"status.  hopefully before Xmas.

What are those "loose ends" you're talking about Cathartes? maybe they have been solved by other people.
