Yup...waiting for the new tools.
Just got impatient and was curious when DAK_Legion produced those screenshots of moded mainpages  

[DAK_Legion]

Hey comrade;)

Try with gadgetmunter to open ccimages.pix and replace mainscreen for a new screen and save in 16 bits and repack the ccimages.pix

now replace for the original

after you see your new screen!

no misthery.I don't have any new tool

or because you don't try other thing...

change a vehicle with rtbtool.

put a old vehicle of cc5 in a pitf tanks.azp

I changed a panther for the m1a2 abrams and work Fine!

try,try comrade!

matrix tools for pitf....maybe...in 2013 or 2014

Cool,

DAK_Legion is good at R&D.

But, question. Wouldn't CCMT vehicles have to be scaled up for this PitF.  

If true, scaled up modern stuff is going to really look beeg.

And remember the map scale has a 4800 pixel map at about 600 meters, or so I thought.

Plus another thing, that I wonder if the uppers here at CCS wouldn't mind addressing. I tried to mention this over at Matrix, but did not articulate well, so I will try again.

Since PitF has an enlarged visual scale and as I mentioned in the previous post, 4800 pixels = 600 meter, whereas before 4800 = 960 meters, I am wondering about the movement speed of the vehicles AND the soldiers.

I know on my system when I use the small soldiers mod, the smaller soldiers seem to move accross the map at a faster speed visually, since I assume the larger ones require more "effort" to display.  

If movement (i.e. the time it takes for a vehicle or a solder to travel 600 meters), has not be compensated for in any appreciable way from the last title (LSA), to PitF, then I could see some players are reporting that it takes forever to manuaver around the PitF maps, even though the maps represent mainly 600 meters is size.

If movement speed has not or cannot be made accurate, then the maps again, despite the scaling, may seem HUGE to the user, when in scale it is really not huge.

You know, you might have pointed at a very important subject Stwa! Let's hear what the PitF players can share about this.

[schrecken]

hmmm... my experience is they seem to move incedibly slowly... so you may be right.

[Stwa]

I believe zon said basically the same thing over at Matrix. Just the larger sizes of everything, could make movement speeds slower.

And I have always wondered if movement speeds varied based on each users PC, or its capabilities.

DAK_Legion,

I would consider your PitF-CCMT work as research and development, and for you at the moment completing the project is not the main goal.

You should try to identify what can or cannot be done with the tools you have now. In so doing you can identify what tools are needed. I am sure Mafi knows, but for any new modding projects, the sooner the community understands the problems associated with PitF modding, the better.

I sure hope southern_land and Manoi don't mind all this talk about PitF.

But since Manoi wants a Stalingrad for PitF mod, perhaps its ok.

Here is a pic of PitF. Does anyone see anything funny about it. Someone over at Matrix told me the beeg yellow tanks were Tiger Is which are ~12 feet wide.

I have also attached a tiny pic of the road. So the new map scale is 8 pixels = 1 meter, or so I thought I read over at Matrix. If true then I measure the paved road at 56 pixels or 7 meters or 23 feet. Am I wrong, or calculating wrong?

The road I measured was just to the right of the 2 story house, and this road area looks even more narrow that the part of the road where the Tiger Is are. All I can figure, is I am messin this up somehow?

I order for this to be converted properly it would require a new strategic map,and possibly a new scenario editor screen.One that is larger in order that the Icons on the strat map and the scenario editor screen don't overlap.
That requires a little bit more than what I'm willing to do,so therefore I'm gonna have to pass on this.


Sorry

[tigercub]

thats a shame...maybe someone will pick it up!

[platoon_michael]

I'm disappointed too.

I can cut and stretch the image but it may end up looking blurry.
I'm hoping Manoi might have saved some stuff in a layered format but I doubt it.
He would be the 2nd person I know of to do that.
