First open beta of AOVAF

Ok. Could you then send one of the not working name files to me? As I know a lot of programming, I might be able to do some reverse engineering and find out what might be the problem, if I have a look at the files. Can't guarantee I'll find anything though, but there are some standard limitations that I can have a look at.

Well, to have names working, you must edit 3 files. Sending only one would be useless.

If you want, I can send them all.

About the beta, BDH made a huge map, and I think we would be able to use some part of it. Have a look at the Arthurian mod. You'll see screenshots.

Yeah, I meant all of them

And we have permission to use that map? If so, very great for the mod. Agreeing with NeonGod's comment above - that provincial campaign is a feature that should be used more - I'm wondering if the map of BDH could, if we get the permission, perhaps be used as one of many provincial campaigns included in the mod. I think creating a number of different provincial campaigns for the mod would be a nice addition compared to other mods, as it's a good way of implementing historical battles with a strategical element added. The adding of several provincial campaigns would however probably be a last minute addition, it's not an essential feature and should have lower priority. But the map is of course of interest for the demo release.

Just a thought, though, but if there is to be a provincial campaign set in Britain, should the Hiberno-Norse be their own faction? It could also be a time to add the Danelaw.

I fwe make a provincial campaign, we'll use batch files to have much more factions (all unused factions such as Asturia, Cordoba etc. will be converted into a revelant faction)

The mod really looks good. If you want a closed beta, I'll sign up. Only for SP.

Do you plan on releasing it for BI?!

**Meneldil** · 08-31-2005, 12:42

Looks like so

Hopefully, BI will bring a few nice features.

just thinking about something regarding provincial campaigns... mustn't the scripts, factions, unit stats, units, skins be the same if many in one mod? only the campaign map would change, right?
