My friend has ordered the game for him this afternoon and he will do the same for me, this evening, in one or two hours. After his own order, he has received a automatic e-mail from battlefront, with a N° of order. So, I think that him and me will receive in 24/48 hours a e-mail with digital download code. Exact ? Thanks. Next hours will be longest hours of my life !!!!!!!!

actual work in progress on counters If anybody has some idea or link about the subject...

Files of mod actualized 17/04 - 14H00-France Version 3.5 Added light and super_light octogones and alternate towns and capitals (are in "alternate_directory") Image of new ligth octogones :

Great ! Thanks a lot I will be able to play before the end of week. Cool !

OK. So, if I pre order the game with the available solution, I will automatically receive the CD+Printed manual + digital donwload ? Right ?

" No choice is possible just yet until we fully launch the system" "Until then, you always pre-order option 3 , and the cost is $45 + $11." ????????????????????????????????? Hum, excuse me english interpretation is difficult when expressions are complicated : I do not understand what I have EXACTLY to do. What I want is that(even if the price is higher) : 1/ To pre order the game and receive it (CD + Printed manual) 2/ Now, being able to digital donwload the game. My simply question is : Is it possible ? Yes ? With option 3 ? No ? How can I do to have the digital download AND to order cd + printed manual, even if the price is higher. Thanks Sorry for my bad understanding, but the logical language is very different between french and english. Please, use very simply expressions and thanks for that

Ok, thanks for these precisions So, I will did what I decided : To buy 2 us versions and to buy the others in french versions, without activation key and traditionnal protection. Please, may yu confirm my commercial question here, about understanding process ?http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=34;t=001270;p=1#000004 (topic : Preorder SC2 -Process ) I want to order these days and I want to be certain I have good understanded all what I have to do for correctly ordering.Thanks a lot.

Read that, in your information : “I have bought a new computer and would like to install the game there, but I have already used two licenses. What now?” The license you are granted for Battlefront games is “mobile”. It allows you to unlicense an installation, de-install the game, re-install on a different computer, and then re-license again. You can do this an unlimited number of times. So even if you used up both licenses previously, once you unlicense the game, you regain that license and can use it to install the game elsewhere. You "unlicense" using the following procedure. _______________________________________________ It is very interssant and perhaps, I see I did not good understand your system at first time : Finally, if the player "unlicense" the game befor reinstalling on another computer, he may do that an unlimited number of times : so, he need just one time (the first installation) to activate on line his game, and has never to do that, even he changes in the future his computer : he has just to "unlicense" the game and transfering to the new computer, without necessity to take a keactivation on line. So, no risk to be deprived of the game. Is it the correct understanding ?

Please, I do not read very good english : may you confirm me if my understanding of the process is ok : 1-I ask a friend do pre order for me the game 2-He do that. He enter his billing informations (e-mail, name and adress), and my mailing informations (E-mail, name and adress) 3-He choice one of the 3 options : OPTION 1 :Digital delivery (Donwload the game directly on internet) OPTION 2 : Mail delivery (shipping CD + printed manual) OPTION 3 ( I prefer this option ): DOWNLOAD AND MAIL DELIVERY ) : Digital donwload + Shipping CD and printed manual) 4-He pay with card : Price is : 45 US dollars + 11 dollars shipping for Europe = 56 Us dollars. Correct ? Have anything to be paid in supplement for option 3 ( Digital donwload and mail delivery) ? And how many ? If yes, please indicate me the total price. Sorry for all, but english language is no clear for me and it is very difficult to understand correctly the process (playing and modding SC are more easy ) Thanks. I am happy to be able to play SC2 in some days !!

Ye, I use ordinary to do that sort of thing and I will do for SC2. But what I suggest will allow to attribute different sounds to units of the same kind : I would like to be able to give naval sound to one unit and aerien sound to one other, even if these two units are of same kind (i.e : to give a naval sound to a cruizer, and helico sound to another cruizer and transform the second in helico ASW : this helico will not be able to go on ground and have to stay on sea, but no problem with that : it is his mission).

I do not have the game now, and perhaps I do a mistake, but it seems me important point : it would be great to have the possibility, when creating a scenario, to choice for units the sound of move and the sound on attack. Of course, in basic game, it is without necessity. But for modding, it is very important : I work actually on my first mod "Falkland's War -1982", and I have lots of modern units who use 2 identical kind of units. i.e : ASW and AEW british helicos are in fact false BA and BB ships, and their mission is to protect the two british carriers against argentin sub attacks. The problem is that their move sound is sound of ships and not sound of helicos... If editor should allow to choice exactly the sound of one unit, it would be great (as it works, i.e in SP camo Steel Panthers unit editor). I have to use these sort of tips, because British expeditionnary forces OOB in Falklands was very complexe, with great variety of units. So, the mod will perhaps be "off sound" (neutral sound) for certain units.

OK, I do that. Thanks !

"I had a dream..." And one other... What happends to me ? I will become a strategic-command maniac

So, I can not wait the game longer : my problem is : From France, it is difficult for me to send the payment and I will ask to friends to pre-order for me SC2 : As I need 2 Us copies of the game (and later 5 french copies, for more security ! ), I will ask each friend to pre-order for me with his credit card. The great question is : may I then provisory to donwload the game from my PC (despite the fact the pre order will be send by other people for me) ? How can I do ? Thanks. I don't sleep more : day and nitght, I think to SC2, my drug... My last work in progress : Falkland's War mod : the british counters in work (they use british, french and US counters) And a little private research about new terrains for SC2, for future "operationnal mods" [ April 15, 2006, 03:56 PM: Message edited by: fantomas ]

I will realize in the futur mods using these counters. So, they will be diffused again at this moment, or before, if somebody works on a special historical mod and ask for use them (1870 mods, napoléonics mods, civil war mods,etc..). But in actual situation, they are not ready for directly playing use, juste ready for using in mod-scenario by modder.

Cause camenbert mon pote, j'entrave que couic

What are these files, please ? If there are the first mod_kit I have diffused, they will be actualized later because they are not correctly adapted to the game colors.

Sorry... I do not good work when I do not like something. But no regrets : I think the PANZER GENERAL icons are too little for SC2, and the visual result was nos guaranteed... If you want to do yourself, it is easy : you have just to edit rhe u"nit_sprites_military" file and to modify the 3D icons + mirror file.

I have found the icons, but there are 3D icons, not old 2D original panzer general icons. I don't like 3D for SC2, sorry... [ April 14, 2006, 05:30 PM: Message edited by: fantomas ]

I have no the game, but I confirm that you could have many problems with this old german letter concerned on other computers, and it would be more and more better to not use it and use "Weiss" in your file names :it is the equivalent in Europe for the concerned german letter who means "sz" and in "modern" language this letter is generally written "ss" : "weiss".

Files of mod actualized 13/04/2006 - 15h00 France - Version 3.4 New "on map units informations system" : circles on map are replaces by little icons and did no longer give troubles with isométric view. Isometric counters inclinated at 0% are now the default (those who prefer isometric counters inclinated at 20% or old counters 2D will found them in the directory "alternate_counters" (do not gorget to rename before using in game)

Files of mod have been actualized today 13/04/2006 10h30-France -VERSION 3.3 Isometric counters are now inclinated (20%), better according to the isometric map of Hubert. Note that some positions of counters are not exactly correct. I will rectify that when I will have the game. Those who prefer old fantomas_counters (version 3.2 and previous) may find them in a special directory “alternate_counters”. They have to rename them “unit_sprites_military” before using Wish for Hubert : I did not founded hot key for changing national color on/off, and finally, it would be nice to have one : so, we would be able to swith very easy between simply basic grid and national colors (one unic letter, please : not something like "control + L". And work fast ! It is a strategic priority order ! I suggest we ask the USA government to decide that Hubert will be not authorized to make a break, and to decide to mobilize him in " 1st Batallion of strategic cyber infantry" (I am the chief ot this unit).

No difficulty, it is just a question of perspective Files of mod have been actualized 13/04/2006 0h15-France (version 3.2) : added new special isometric counters, that are more adapted for the map of SC2. Note that some positions of these counters are not exactly correct in Octogones. I will rectify that when I will have the game, at the same time I will verify all the mod in the editor.

A look on the new "Nato isometric counters", work in progress.

I'm working about the version 3.2 of mod, who will include "Nato symbol isométric counters", specially profiled and adapted for the SC2 Isometric map. The "look" will be very good for players, I think
