We are going to merge most of the EAW sections. I'm interested in what games you guys want to cover. I can keep an eye on PS, Battlefield, Medieval and Spore but the rest it's up to you to decide. It's quite clear now - we cannot compete with PF without a fight so we will avoid that by evolving our self’s. As you may well remember EAW has a limited fan base and due to the new RTS games coming on the market this year ... and they will make that fan base to be even lower. That's why we created the games section. PF will never have a large representation for other games on their forums so we still hold an advantage no matter if they now have the full force of their graphic artists to help with the forum layout. There are hopes for P-02 but once C&C3 gets out ... well P-02 will be in a lot of trouble because when I've seen the C&C3 presentation I got goose bumps. It scared me so cool and original it looked ... just wait and see. I intend to give our new forums a nitro boost coming from Spore new pictures and info’s. It will take me some time to work on that but they will come. I will do that after we restructured our self’s and maybe get a new skin. After that the plan is simple - we will evolve based on our experience and we will keep contacts with different developers until we become something very cool. How cool ... well I want us to make previews/reviews for games. But until then I just want to have fun and talk about all the games we like. I'm not sure you remember but once SAGE requested when he first become CM that the Petro Devs should not have admin powers. So I will follow that and remove those powers letting only moderator ones except for Mike. Seems fair - if I leave them these powers while we move to other games and meet other developers we can have problems convincing them to join.

Wow .... I'm stunned. 1,2,3 were just medium ... but episode 4 blowed me away. I've now seen the best capital ship maneuver ever in the Sci-Fi genre ... and the best storyline for a great episode. Anyone has seen the episode? ... What did you liked most?

Will try to restructurate the forum this week - subforums suggestions season is open.

I'm busy man - covering for a sick collegue ... didn't had time to send the email and we are in no hurry

We will be - trust me we just need some time - a good artist ... will find a way.

PFF - Gamers Revolution Forum it is then. Lets give it a month Now if I could only find the place were I can edit the name. Also we have to think how we will restructure the forums sections. Dr. Nick cool image - pls. make one for the revolution logo too. Nevets they never requested it. Also Mike told me that we can do what we wish and Sage is doing what we initially did to boost PFF (deja vu) so he will probably run in the same problems like us. Anyway some of us wish to reshape our identity but keep the petroglyph philosophy of life. If we will become jus a forum for friends to hang out and talk about their favorite games ...fine with me. If we will become a media site, with previews and reviews ... who knows - as long as it is fun we will move forward.

Thx ... ehhh don't be so though on him - he is doing his job after all. Ok here is the message: thelucius tell him that you are just the messenger and you are from East Sussex (*they have the office in West Sussex) - this way he may have mercy. Let's just hope that he will not treat you like in Sparta http://pff.swrebellion.com/index.php?topic=3575.0 ... and whatever you say don't mention land and water Thanks mate - let's grow our TW cmmunity. PFF is evolving anyway - we could incorporate that too

Will make the poll soon enough once I'm sure that everydody got the chance to say its opinion if he wishes.

That reminds me - I really need to email them. thelucius I will foward you an PM today for Shogun.

I like the PFF - Gamers Revolution Forum. We keep PFF to link to our past while we promote the new... Anyway the other games subforums were introduced especially because the EAW appeal was fadeing fast to a more moderate average.

PFF - Gaming Evolution PFF - Gaming Revolution PFF - Revolution Gaming PFF - Power to the gamers PFF - Games Hub PFF - Lords of the games PFF - Evolution PFF - Revolution ...brainstorming continues My favorite is PFF Gaming Revolution

PFF Revolution - nice I like it. What else could we find?

PFF stais .... I just want PFF and something ....

First - I will like to mention that I have nothing to do with it (*For the poeple at CA who may think otherwise - loll). Sinuhet is the man of the hour - many thanks. Ave {nF}remix! I have CTD with this in shortcut included' date=' but I have also the letters for windowing and not having video included in the same time (the same setting which I am using in RTW.exe). So I dont know exactly.... --------------------------- Well. some theoretical ideas, what could be changed in descr_battle.txt file for preventing the CTD during loading. 1. Names, they seems to be relatively arbitrary, it would be worth to locate the section in data.pack to retrieve some valid names for generals (attention, they are not named persons) of both England and France. 2. The placements of units and deployment area, the numbers are the new MTW2 map (Agincourt)unrelated completely 3. maybe also sizes of units, who knows what the limitations are in MTW2 as for eventual size of units of respective types After doing some tests, give reports to this thread. The whole community in cooperation will have power to refine the settings to be fully functional in relatively short time, in my opinion, however there must be relatively massive sharing of information So, I have shared my e-mail form penguins and several my thoughts about all this. This weekned I will be in lack of free time again, so the community will have to do something for me now, and maybe in Monday, it will be possible to play the unlocked Custom battles already and I will can do the next step - to do something similar for formations after trying the look and feel of the non-scripted battle AI in MTW2 Demo...... Bye Sinuhet Guys! As for any trying to change something in descr_battle.txt files packed in data.pack the penguins have proven clearly that it is bad way. Stop wasting time in this blind direction of development. What the penguins have done was: to change the string "agincourt" in medieval2.exe on "newdescbt". The approach could be for example this: 1. download and install some free hexeditor 2. archive the original medieval2.exe file 3. open the mediaval2.exe file in hexeditor 4. go to the offset: 0x 00F5BA5B, your cursor will be in the beginning of the string Agincourt which is necessary to change 5. this string (i.e. 9 "letters" long fragment) you must change on this: 6E 65 77 64 65 73 63 62 74 (i.e. in ASCII newdescbt) 6. copy the world folder included in the data folder from the attachment downloadable above 7, and start the demo now, you will be in the same phase of development when the stupid animals have failed ..., all what should be now done (theoretically speaking) is to find out the correct definition of the descr_batttle.txt file, you must change and test and change and test and, suprisingly, change and test the place what are to chnging in the first place are listed in my second post, your results with various settings then share with community in this thread And its all. bye Sinuhet[/quote'] Download link: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1194 Topic: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=64814

Do you wish to influence the forums future? Check this out : http://pff.swrebellion.com/index.php?topic=3595.0

How about the new forum's name ... more suggestions anyone? PFF and...

Hi AVJR, What do you refer at by different types? Any unit in MTW2 has different modles types in it even if they are basically the same (*different textures). See the pictures we have - I'm sure your will find them there. Cheers, Cain

So ... what do we do next? How should we evolve in the future? Now that PF is up and is acting like the perfect clone - we do need to reshape our identity and give PF a chance. So let's start thinking about our advantages: 1. We are the unofficial guys and this gives us a lot of freedom it terms of what we can say or do - that’s makes it more fun. 2. We are pure gamers mostly RTS orientated and we can cover what games we like to talk about. 3. We have access to many developers from different games - so we can have access to many new interesting info. 4. We can organize the forums as we wish and like - we have no structure imposed upon us. 5. We have forged our identity - as PFF - and we are known well enough. 6. Our goals were always simple and clear. Thoughts anyone? - Now its everybody's chance to shape the future of the forum - To ask a rhetoric question: Is this were we fight? Cheers, Cain

Dap ... un fel de realism&cool - putem sa unificam ce vrei tu

Well no request has been made about this and from my discussions with Mike he said that it's up to us do decide what we wish to do .... so will probably evolve in something more advanced and we will cover more games ... who knows. Next week we will all search for an answer to our future. Cheers, Cain

Yes ... there is a certain temptation to go in that uncharted direction of total freedom ... let's see if other people desire to share their ideas.

Every gamer is a warrior ... well except the ones who play SIMS Pets ;D ... who knows in what we will evolve in or what will be different ... it should be more fun, more open ... we have no limits basically ... I want to give a chance to our PF clone to evolve too ... PFF can do whatever we like to do. Petroglyph has never imposed any restriction on us.

I wonder ... maybe we should evolve? Create our own warrior path ... How about PFF: Evolution?

Cool - we appreciate your help. Welcome in the team.
