Bugles and Flags version 03 - 04 August 3rd Upgrade

Post by RebBugler »

Major Toolbar Upgrade - Details on Website and ‘Modifications’ Info screen in game.

Thanks to Wolfe_CH (Chris) for some included buttons, and some great ideas for toolbar convenience.

A Rebel salute to our Yankee brother Phantom Captain for his post on TC2M regarding a link to a 1937 recording of the Rebel Yell. This authenticated version is now available on this mod's toolbar, sorry Yanks, could not find it's equivalent - The Yankee Hurrah. For balance, I'll add it in the future if provided a decent recording or link.

Added another scenario, a Reb Round Top version, guaranteed to play differently from the stock rendition.

Also edited several previously released scenarios. 'Wilcox and Lang' is more winnable now, had to rescript Barksdale to sweep north, also, he kept getting killed, and his replacement was a wimp. Without Barksdale's flanking move, Wilcox and Lang were left with an impossible mission of breaking Humphrey's line. In addition, the Union Round Top scenario has lots of Rebel Yells comin' at 'em now...my first use of mp3 files scripted in, hope they add some battlefield ambiance for y’all.

Ready for Download...To Arms

Your Welcome Old Soldier, glad the DL and install went smooth.

Just uploaded the program again, still called v03. No biggie if y'all don't want to DL and install again, but I had to change some fonts that were buggin' me, the 'morale and fatigue' texts. Went with the small default fonts, they display and center better.

Anyway, DL again if you want...sorry for the afterthought, but it does improve upon this display.

This toolbar is not just for my preferences, I wish it user friendly for everyone. Please feedback as to your preferences so I can make adjustments for universal appeal. This is necessary for when MP is opened for mods. I require a better toolbar, very similar to this one, and I need for you folks to concur, so we can meet on the field of battle with the same tools of war, evolved to our preferences.

I really like your work. Thanks for your efforts. Question...should I unactivate the 02 version on the MODS page when I activate the 03 version? I'm having duplications of the scenarios on the users section.

Hello gbs,

(Version 01 - 02 no longer necessary, delete or store away at your discression)

Anything not clear following the 'Read Me' file?

Do you see it in the Modifications screen when opening the game?

The 'Mods' folder is in the main SOWGB folder. Maybe it got mistakenly deleted. Simply make a folder and name it Mods. You do have the full game version, right?
