Started from the excellent work of Agent S (Skin TOW), I am working on this mod (it's just the beginning)

Sceen :

http://www.leqg.org/forum/download/file.php?id=940

In addition, I have downloaded the demo of "Storm over the Pacific", to try it. If the game enjoys me, I will do the same kind of mod for the Pacific Theater of war, so, wargamers who like the "classic wargame look" for their games will be able to play the 2 with their preferences.

Other experimentation, with a old excellent material I founded in the Storm over Pacific Matrix forum. I will probbaly do a mixte between Skin TOW Agent S and this second mod, to continue the work

nice mod, looking very TOAW III (which is a good thing).
I'm working on a couple of new ones also.

Sorry, I have no more material or stuffs, and the site where all files were stocked is now closed (Imperialism France). I had made a entire world map and some other things, with other modders.

Now, you have just the right to answer my questions of newbe

: one is here
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3066314&mpage=1?

After my ToF actual work, I will adapt it for Storm over Pacific, to allow interrested players to use the 2 games with a classic boardgames look (interface, map and counters)

The new interface is now fixed.

The next step will be the terrains. Terrains on this screen are not mines, they comes a old mod made by a specialist named Uxbriddge, terrain files used by a french moddeur in his "boardgame mod" for ToW (I founded the zip file in the ToW forum, searching materiels and stuffs).

I especially like your new buttons. Much cleaner and taking less space. Why not make them somewhat translucent?

The colours may have to change for different maps options, but the buttons look good.

I tried transprent buttons, but did not love that (you have to use "flashy "colors to see something, and it is bad). In fact, this special interface will be only made for the "classic wargame mod" (colors are adapted for this mod, not for others mods)

Hoping to see how you did it and if any other colour options could be modded.

I just edited the gui file in Gfx folder with gimp. Everybody who uses Gimp will be able to change my graphs in the GUI file.

Concerning the counters, I have a question : in the COMBINATION COUNTER MOD (included in the game) there are 2 point on the counters (1 is yellow, one is blue). What is their signification, please ? (cf attached image)

The more I play this funny game, the more I thank Doom to have given

to us this game

OK, thanks, I may try and play with the colours if the originals don't match the map I am using.

Working on my mod, I noticed that the commander symbol in units are sometime grey, sometimes white. Any explanation ? (or is it a little "modding bug" ?)

No.
Black in White is the commander.

Grey = unit under commanders range. Click on icon to see your leader.

Ok, thanks Rasputtisa & Razz for informations.

The work on mod continues, I have founded a way to higlight reco, air attacks, etc without masking the map, it's better for look (same for range move, etc) : map stays more clear and visible. This game is crazy fun (the only little pb with the game is that the editor seems be a very capricious tool, very oft you receive windowed error messages ("error exception", with informatic report, etc) and it's a little frustrating beaause the game is very good. But Ini and Csv files may be edited very easy, so it is not so bad except for map modifications : I am worry to do any modification on map in the editor, because the lenght game is 400 turns and if I had a map bug after 200 turns due to the modifications, it would be a pity)

Any errors made on the map, will came up with the first time launching the scenario that the map is modified.

Suppressed all "grey inactive buttons in the interface" : only apper active and usable buttons. A button that may not be used has nothing to do in my ship !

More visible naval zones for fleet move (at high zoom level)

Less intrusive naval info windows

And some others things now in work : I will give the aircrafts a wargame look (dont' like circles), with a way to distinguish very quick bombers, etc

The more I play this game the night, the less I sleep

This game is monster.

Immersible and friendly for modders. The more time you spent with it, the longer you wish to play.
