Is "wer_ltann11a" the script for a single Pz-1F? I get CTD at StugIII test fire range.

The M3 Half-track turns better then expected!!! Great work.

[lockie]

Is "wer_ltann11a" the script for a single Pz-1F?

Yes, this is unit name of the Pz-IF.

I get CTD at StugIII test fire range.

What the unit name of STUG? wer_stug3cd?
If u take a place as a gunner then u should see such `drum`.

[Lord_Haw-Haw]

What the unit name of STUG? wer_stug3cd?

CTD when replacing stug3 with Pz-1F, starting as driver.

[frinik]

it means you're missing essential files in your install for the Panzer IF to work. I'll bet you if you try making a trial mission with it it will ctd as well....

[lockie]

CTD when replacing stug3 with Pz-1F, starting as driver.

Then let's wait NTA1.7 beta release.

I spoke to soon. Got it working, Unactivated Re-activated everything, thanks.  Loving the duel MG34's, firing both at the same time, wall of lead.
Need a mission with hundreds of enemy infantry charging across a open field

This is a test mission to find out bugs. I'll have a look. How many times did u try to start the mission? Did u try missions with BT-7?

PS
Download 'General' once again. Now it should work.

[LSM]

Loсkiе, in "Generel" should be the texture of M-26. Thank you.

[lockie]

A new variant of the mission will be for the german side:
- repel american attack
- protect prisoner Frinikenko

I see the M-26 Pershing, looks and acts great!!! I don't see an the Stuart, see the data lines in several files but nothing in the tech_cfg directory?

[lockie]

I don't see an the Stuart

`Stuart` in the same place where `General Lee` is  We've to wait Update November 2013 and new missions

PS
As it appeared M26 has a sever errors in the model. And at this time I try to fix it, but lack of 3d modeling experience makes this task a very hard for me. So, if someone has a good 3d modeling skill then PM me.
Meanwhile let's attack german troops with a new technology  Of course, without help of comrades yl9961027 and 19will73 this tank would hardly see the light.

A new mission(part II) `save general` gonna to be finished. This time u've to provide a cover for the APC, which will take general on the board and get him back to the base.


At the balance `1` everyth. goes well, but on the `6` it becomes a real mess   

I'd recommend to play on the balance "1" to have a look and balance "3" is maximum. Or Stalin and Roosevelt will be a very disappointed

PS
Mostly, all sever errors of M26 were fixed.

[lockie]

A bit of backimage changing


This screen is great! Well, I really like when it's raining  8)

The mission is pretty hard, but I think it's more interesting to make a change to get a positive result.

OHHHHH the heresy! An M26 Pershing in July 1944 in Normandy......I guess to save General Frinikenko savaging historical truth and trampling accurary are the price to pay.

[lockie]

OHHHHH the heresy! An M26 Pershing in July 1944 in Normandy......

No heresy at all! It was experimental model and because of the very important task, this unique variant was sent to provide the mission execution. I've all appropriate documents, which confirms everything 

I guess to save General Frinikenko savaging historical truth and trampling accurary are the price to pay.

Exactly! All my missions based exclusively on the true history, i.e Otto Carius: Siivertsi, Kolobanov Feat of Arms, SU-100: The number of the beast! and of course `Save general Frinikenko`    8)

My best result at the balance `2` 


Brave general Frinikenko took M2HB under his control


Shit happens 


Big fat `Tiger` spotted  8)

[lockie]

BTW
General Frinik, did u play the mission `Save general Frinikenko`? 

[frinik]

No because I haven't installed the latest Mission Pack.I am awaiting the next release /update in November .My NTA 1.7 still has some bugs which I hope to iron out when the next update comes on.... And Mission Pack 3.3 ain't compatible with NTA 1.6...

I''ll save the General...at balance 10  8)

[LSM]

Loсkiе where to get textures M26, I have it black. The file "General" does not.
