View Full Version : TOAWIII mods? You bet!
I've just uploaded my first (?) mod for the game, so I figured I'd start a thread so that other modders can post links to their work.
Mine is located at: TOAW3-GJK-Mod (http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1156) in the Talonsoft-TOAW section (until a Matrix games-TOAW section is made I suppose).
Screenshot (which looks distorted here for some reason, but it should give an idea):

Nice work, Gary. Personally, I think the place names could use the "highlight" option, but it's a clean look, nonetheless.

Good work Gary.
I might remind everyone that you can put this into the AltGraphics directory safely (it's empty), and with Gary's permission, you can use these as the default graphics for your scenario easily by installing to the AltGraphics/Scenario Name directory.:cool:
Cool mods, so who's going to be the first to come up with new squared counters for ALL of the color combinations?

Ewwwww...squared counters?? :nuts:
God knows I'm leery of mods, but I have to admit this one has something to it. Besides, TOAW III has made it so easy to switch between graphic sets that it's no longer a capital sin of sorts to try one :D
Good work!

Aw come on, to each his own. I thought the same way too untill I saw how sharp Peter Szabo's counters looked on my screen so I kept them. I'm now officially a convert to the squared version.

That's a shame man, think of all the poor ASL players that have to clip thousands of counters with a nail clipper ONE AT A TIME while TOAW does it for you automatically!

Yes, yes, to each his own, but I will forever love the beautifully rounded corners of the regular graphics. :)
Oh, yeah! I got rep! I'm on the straight and narrow! :)

Yes straight and narrow, just as the corners of a counter are meant to be :laugh:

Snappy comeback not found, you win. I bow to your superior wit. :cry:
FYI: My mod has been updated to version 2.0. Screenshot: HERE (http://www.garykrockover.com/uploads/TOAW3-GJK-Mod.gif)

Be careful when you move those square cornered counters, that you don't knock over adjacent stacks.

No, really, I like 3D large view... Panzers rolling, squashing bugs... :bite:
Is there anyone else in TOAW community who plays in 3D /it's pseudo 3D actually' ??? Anyone, or you all sold your soulds to NATO counters? Damn you! :clown:

I had actually wanted to add more information to the 3D display, and a bit more functionality, like allow it to 'spin' to different angles, and possibly 'tilt' a little, but I ran out of time.:nuts:

Great Ralph, that I really appreciate if you do something...
People are very hostile to 3D view and I find it good and I am used to it...
New tile set improved and eye candy would be also cool! Maybe to employ some artist for this etc... anything to make this cooler would be ok.

I'm not hostile to 3d view, I like that a lot in some wargames, I'm just hostile to the TOAW one :devious: Talonsoft tried to adapt the 3D design of the Campaign Series to Opart back then, but with unsatisfactory result and it hasn't been improved since then, might be an idea for future development...:vegguitar:

Well, I am not talking for free, I will buy TOAW 3, I just wait for my new credit card to arrive.
BTW, my ace of spades argument is : Heroes 3 WOG. That is my friend free mod for Heroes 3. That is my friend what you get in TOAW 3, you get Heroes 3 WOG. So by your analogy or others guys who did Heroes 3 WOG should have charged for it? This argument my friend is UNBEATABLE. Like a panzer division against Soviet militia division.

Great, looking forward to it! I think that we shouldn't overlook this feature and it's not that bad like some are stating... I also play HoI and HoI 2 with sprites... I like that sort of immersion, and child in me :D
