Re:Commanders - Mingle with the enemy

<t>Should the general I'm controlling be able to wander through the enemy? I was playing as Buford and got beaten, but as I was the only Union unit still near the farm and three regiments were coming at me I thought - may as well end the game with a glorious charge! Strangely, I just ran through the...

Re: Lack of response when in the saddle

<t>Tbh I hadn't intended to play that way-I just thought playing on veteran would give the best ai challenge. I like the option but usually don't select it, but as it loaded up like that as default I thought I'd give it a go. In fact I tried the historical option first on Buford's scenario and that ...

Lack of response when in the saddle

<t>I tried playing the Strong Vincent scenario on Veteran, but really struggled to get him to go anywhere- I was clicking but it seemed like the click was not recognised by the game- possibly I was clicking too far away? As I moved along, vincent became harder to control - wouldn't pick up my clicks...

Re: Editing terrain files

<r>I think in this case some blokes are more average than others <E>;-)</E> As I say, I would be keen to have a go, and I really appreciate the way the game is set up to support this, but are there any pointers anywhere that could help me change the files without ending up with flashing foliage? Tha...

Help! Won't activate using code sent

Hi

I just bought the game and when I enter the code it refuses to activate the game - it comes up with error 291984. Any ideas?

Re: Editing terrain files

<t>I guess that is what they must be- not sure if I'm changing all colour channels at once. In fairness I am not a PS expert and I think this is going to be way out of my league. <br/> <br/> My monitor is not calibrated specifically - I think I've done it in the past but the colours I am looking at ...

Re: Editing terrain files

Hmm. Just tried selecting the whole image and burning it all at the same time - theoretically changing each image equally. For some reason it's still flashing. Unless there is another file elsewhere that is related I am not sure what is causing this effect.

Editing terrain files

<t>Can anyone think of an easy way to edit these - I have so far loaded them up in Photoshop in order to see what improvements could be made, and imho trees especially look better when they are darker - they don't stand out as much. The only problem is that the files contain multiple versions of the...
