Retributar Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Fredoz !,...Some of your work is just 'Amazing'!,...such as regarding,...where did you manage to get that small 'Authentic-Looking' Japanese Tank?. Where did the Artillery Gun come from?,...'Excellent Work' to you in getting these item's!. It look's like you used the Early Italian Tank and the German captured Polish Tank for the other 2 Japanese tanks. The German and Allied Half-Tracks i assume are from the game itself where they are momentarily-DISPLAYED when 'Motorized' Infantry is moved!. Finally!...Nice Work on the Japanese Flag!. Look's like your New "F&F" MOD is going to be a welcome'Treat' for us!. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartknock3r Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Who cares? It looks awsome! I've been gone for like 15 days, and im happy to come see this! Great work! I see Japan is the only changed major? Did you use France or Italy to change it? Neways, looks great! Hope you guys keep up the good work and keep this up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartknock3r Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 This is the greatest mod so far... so sexy... i love it! I answered my own question, im so stupid . Did you happen to get the skeleton on your second comments second screenshot from diablo 2? It looks exactly like it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scook Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 This looks absolutly incredible! I wish I knew what F&F means (Free and French?). The sig, "=FR3DO= & =F@B= " means something to do with Frodo, so that means Lord of the Rings to me. I need the Sledgehammer of Obviousness dropped on my head. I would love to play around with this in an alpha state to look for bugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Andrew Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 And I take it the mod works without the custom interface? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 no disrepect to other modders, but I have lost taste with playing with anything else or vanilla sc2 knowing that this masterpeice is coming out. Although, one has to wonder how the scripts & AI will turn out. Dude? Timskorn? Perhaps the whole community can pitch in in this effort to make the ultimate WW2 mod! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 There is a lot to like in this mod, but am I the only one who finds Africa to be overly large when the continent played such a small role in the war? Sure the mercator projection has its drawbacks, but in my mind it works especially well in modeling a conflict that happened primarily in the northern hemisphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you totally miss that connection? Originally posted by John C: am I the only one who finds Africa to be overly large when the continent played such a small role in the war?Personally I love the idea of an expanded africa.... not only does it open the way for other mods but also it allows for a lot of 'what if?' scenarios and allow the great powers to struggle for further territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 One thing I don't like though is the small pacific. Maybe it expands to the east, I hope so or otherwise this would be kind of limited, and how is USA supposed to bring troops there? Arrows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 If the Pacific is the size it is, then IMHO the mod should have been made smaller to encompass the whole planet to scale (except the polar regions) so we can have a complete WW2 historical battle. Maybe I'm missing something like Kuniworth? I also would have cut off some of the Bottom of the map to make a complete Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Russia in the north, alot of naval activity occured up there, much more so than down south. Still, an incredible undertaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredoz Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hello people ! Thank you all for your posts, thank you for your encouragements and compliments !! We try to understand all posts, but we have problems with english sometimes, sorry about that and for our crap english. We can't post everyday because we are in a busy period (work for now and soon hollidays), but be sure to have news all the 2 or 3 days. The mod is still in "alpha" state. Just a little precision about the screenshots ; the jpg screenshots that we use for our posts are lower quality than the bmp files used for the game. We contacted Etienne who will probably help us (thank you Etienne for your support!). We have tested a network multiplayer game over internet (tcp/ip) and it works nice We played the campaign a little time, she works without problems. Be sure that we adding a lot of units and a lot of PPs ! All costs are upgraded too, of course. Now we want to answer some of your questions; Originally posted by Retributar: Fredoz !,...where did you manage to get that small 'Authentic-Looking' Japanese Tank? where did the Artillery Gun come from? The small japan tank is the french tank from original game (at level 0). The Artillery Gun (who replaces rockets) come from the original game. Originally posted by Fartknock3r: Did you happen to get the skeleton on your second comments second screenshot from diablo 2? It looks exactly like it... It looks exactly like it cause... That's it Originally posted by Capt Andrew: And I take it the mod works without the custom interface? Yes, you can play this mod without our custom interface. Originally posted by Moonslayer: Maybe F&F is short for Fredo & Fab?Yes =F&F= is our seal, and it means =FR3DO= and =F@b= (Frédéric and Fabrice); our nicknames in multiplayer games on the net (Return To Castle Wolfenstein 1st person shooter game). ......

We'll contact you soon for testing the alpha version. Originally posted by Kuniworth: One thing I don't like though is the small pacific.

Arrows let you go from an extremitie of the map to other ( "naval loop"). Just look these screens : This is another screens from the actual state of our =F&F= Mod : Flags sprites ; units sprites ; resources sprites ; See you soon ! =FR3DO= & =F@B= [ July 16, 2006, 04:57 PM: Message edited by: Fredoz ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartknock3r Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 How in tarnation did you put those resources in there? I've done that but it doesn't seem to work for me. (You got that from my mods thread, they were good, huh? ) Also, I knew it u got that for D2! I miss that game so much... I have a wierd urge to install it and its expansion, but im 2 lazy, that's pretty wierd considering i woke up at 4 pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributar Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Fredoz !,...your resourcefulness in aquiring 'Sprites' is amazing & inspiring!. I hope that other's in need might be able to benefit from your lead's & sources!. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Dave Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Now who was it? One must wonder? Kept on a'saying that Editor! QUIT! Bringing up and mentioning That unprecedented! Editor! Superior and inspired work, Frederic & Fabrice, [... I originally suspected as Inspectre C, that you were "Fantomas" in disguise! ] And great self-less offer of assistance Etienne! ... ah, the French, NEVER discount their elan and aplomb! You guys are living proof That Hubert Did the right thing, In providing an Editor So that "creative Artists" could Make something innovative & grand, And so, you are now doing. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timskorn Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Yep, the things most of us have been doing with the editor have been good, but it seems this kind of mod is what HC ultimately envisioned as the fruits of such a device. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea indeed TK, And here's the gist of what I am ALSO Saying, albeit somewhat clumsily. Once Hubert gets back from WELL deserved Vacation time, He's gonna do some Mojo Magico With a LOT of those troublesome scripts, AI, And O/W. What I can foresee, and actually, HOPE to see, Is that you, and others inclined, Will THEN work off of that, So to augment the eventual "Gold Standard" For default game and scenarios, Which he will surely, absolutely implement. I do NOT mean to suggest, and, IF I have, I apologize, That what you guys are doing is lesser Or, notso valuable. It surely IS... wait and see what V 1.03 Brings and that will, no doubt, Inspire you to even greater heights, I'm fair confident. Then, Perhaps? Some of your latest & greatest! Stuff can be implemented so to provide Expert variations In MODS such as this F&F one, And others to come, as well. :cool: [... my own, included! Have been working on it for 6 or 8 months now, and WHEN Hubert does his brilliant thing, I may well add in some of YOUR innovations, too! ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesopo Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Fredoz, Don't let Dave's haiku-ku (coo-coo I tell you!) scare you off. How's the progress on this beautiful baby of yours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
