Version 2.02 questions

[Crossroads]

Hello all
Been awhile since I posted here ! Haven't played in awhile as well ! Okay I downloaded version 2.02 in a fresh install. Must say, it is quite nice. Takes a bit of getting used to but am quite pleased !
So, opponents also have to have 2.02 installed as well to play pbem ?

Welcome back Cam!

Yes, mixing different game engine versions will likely lead into problems.

I can't recall if there's actual code check in place nowadays, where a PBEM game saved by a newer version can't be opened by an older version anymore. We talked about this at least at some stage.

What does the generic mod enabler do ?

JSGME (JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler) is a really cool graphical user interface to install and uninstall User Modifications. See manual page 123 for an explanation on it. There's also a JSGME folder under Tools, there's a JSGME User Guide there if you want to learn the details.

What about all the extra Balkan, finnish stuff etc. I don't see to many new scenarios in the menu ?

The enhanced units are there for most parts in the basic 2.02 install (been there since 2.00). For additional stuff, please enable the Forgotten Battles 2.0 User Mod which adds a lot of new stuff to EF and some to WF as well. Mind you, it is not fully tested so expect to see some OOB issues here and there (should you use Organization Editor especially).

As for new scenarios, lots of them were added to Blitz Scenario Database. See here for a list of new scenarios that's been available since 2.00, with a couple of wholly new 2.02 scenarios as well:

I had also enjoyed playing a few of the Korean War scenarios in the past, I am assuming it is a separate install again ?

Korean Mod by Mike Amos, based on JTCS 1.0x is left as-is. The Development Team is fully occupied on Project Modern Wars, with several game titles coming out over the next few years. Who knows if Korea would be included?

Hope you enjoy 2.02. If you've been out for a while, do check the new Game Manual. The latest version covers version 2.01, 2.02 has some Night visibility glitches fixed among other things.
