Enjoy!

[Hister]

Thank you!

Any real change from the last RC?

[Tegetthoff]

Hey, there are two changelogs in the first post to answer exactly this question!

Just graphics and spelling, so you can install it over your 0.50.35 install.

T.

[Hister]

Thank you.

Thought those changes were from the last RC.

[Titan79]

It's good to read you're using some of my graphics - thank you!

[Tegetthoff]

Well, thank you for making them available!

[Denniss]

We have a bug report at http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...yers-for-Bases

Everyone who wants this fixed please download the attached file and replace mod-CORE2\db\events\gameplay\core_UK.txt with the unzipped event file.
Game checksum has not changed for me ?!?

[Hister]

Suggestion: Add it to the first post as a hotfix.

[Tegetthoff]

It's good to read you're using some of my graphics - thank you!

BTW, Hister, have you ever made a Mengkukuo counter? This would be something I could use for my very first 0.60 work ....

[Titan79]

I assume that by "Hister" you meant "Titan" .

Anyway: no, I didn't ever make one... but I guess it wouldn't be a problem. However, what's wrong with the current, vanilla one?

[Tegetthoff]

Yed, indeed, I meant Titan and yes, indeed, I must have been blind ....

But if you have time, I am thinking about the Mongol Military Government (1936-37). I can give it the Mengkukuo counter, flag and shield but it would be nicer to have their own:

How about it?

[Hister]

BTW, Hister, have you ever made a Mengkukuo counter?

Oh men, I wish I would have such talented 2D skills as Titan has!

Here it is:



(download the .rar from here).

As for the flag&shield, AFAIK they're normally done by a utility for Photoshop. Since I don't use Photoshop , I can't help you with these, sorry .

Oh men, I wish I would have such talented 2D skills as Titan has!

Naaah, it's nothing special, you know. All you really need is a bit of patience (well, a lot, to be honest ).

[Tegetthoff]

Great, thanks!

[Titan79]

Great, thanks!

No problem, you're welcome - on the contrary, sorry for not making the flag and shield.

[TeutonburgerW]

Thank you !

[Hister]

Although I probably shouldn't speak in the name of Titan I believe he would be delighted if he can help you out with any other 2D tasks... Am I correct Titan?

[Titan79]

Well, it depends. Given the by now chronical lack of spare time from my side, comparable only with the fuel scarcity Germany had to face in 1944/'45 , great projects would have to be set aside for the time being. Smaller tasks, on the other hand, could be ok.

Anyway, should the CORE team ask, I'd answer... maybe with a "no" but mostly with a "yes".

[Hister]

Great spirit, great spirit indeed! You are a proper soldier Titan who newer surrenders!

...of course... to the last bullet! (-> see my VoW button )
