Dirty Little Secret? - Stejones82 - 12-19-2020

Hi Gents! 

As a frequent participant of this forum, and an avid SqB player, I thought I might share something.  

*******CAUTION******

The following is NOT sanctioned by JTS or any official or even knowledgeable authority 

*********************

I have noticed that some are not real happy with the top-down mods officially  released by the company not too long ago.  Well, I never updated my existing games to the top-down mod, and they work just fine in PBEM with opps who have installed the most recent mod.  

Just saying, is all. 

Cheers and Merry Christmas! 

Steve

Yeah. I wish I had never pressed the update button. Too late now. I no longer have the old installers.

Would love if you could put the images in a zip folder for each game for those who don't have them.

Or the installers. I still have my SB serial numbers. I have AOTR, Eagles, FWW, RV and WW.

Has anyone tried downloading the old updates over at HPS and unzipped the download files into a folder to see if the "old" portrait images are included?

I just checked the HPS Eagles Strike update some, but not all the relevant graphics were updated, not enough to make it worthwhile downloading. I haven't checked the other games in the series but I imagine the same will be true for those too.

I'm not a fan of the top down graphics either especially since the graphic (vehicle, weapon, etc) doesnt change facing.  I think if it did, I would be a fan of it as I am an ASL player.

Luckily, I made backups of all of my "MAP" files before updating.


RE: Dirty Little Secret? - Warhorse - 01-02-2021

Yup, to each his own!!


RE: Dirty Little Secret? - bigus - 01-02-2021

I have the last installer of AOTR, ES and RV before the update.
Do I hear $200 each! Canadian.....(That's a deal BTW)

Seriously, when they broke the game, I quit playing.

Well, to each his own, but you are missing out on Blitzkrieg, desert warfare and more now.
