Update on 1940: Fall of France scenario conversions

[LoneWulf63]

I finally finished all the maps last week and started working on the orgs. I have completely converted a couple of the scenarios and even had a chance to test one with Warhorse. Of course, he would have to take the Germans but eh I am just happy that it worked. I have also completed the platoon.oobs and weapon.pdt files needed for many of the scenarios and Jason has been kind enough to encrypt them for me. At the moment, I am concentrating on those scenarios that do not need the modified oobs and weapon files. There are 18 scenarios that do not require the modified files and 32 that do. Sometimes frustrating but always fun to do. I am hoping to have all 50 scenarios done by the end of this month. Then it is on to PTO for a loooonnnngggg time. Chris.

I am not very computer savvy when it comes to things like screenshots. If you tell me how, I will try and be sure to share. Chris.

You can use the printscreen key on your keyboard or a third party program. It's been so long since i used the printscreen key i don't remember where the system stores the screenshots.

Here's a link to third party free download of screenshot program I use [gadwin printscreen]. its simple and works for most games.

@ resinslinger:

Shift-PrintScreen captures the screenshot to the Windows Clipboard (like a Copy operation). You can then Paste into the graphics editing program of your choice, for instance Windows Paint, but also (better) Photoshop, Corel PaintShop Pro (what I use), and many other freeware, shareware, and commercial alternatives.

Be sure to resize the image smaller (in your graphics software), say by 50%, before you upload and post.

I'm looking forward to seeing posted images of your work.

Hey Chris, +1 Berto and Budd, I usually hit printscrn, then always have Paintshop Pro open anyway, hit ctrl-V, then resize!

@ Budd, very good explanation of the posting mechanics, sir!![:D]
