JMM,

My compliments. You are truly doing everything you can to please. When I looked at the home page tonight, I was so very impressed with the screenshot of Napoleon and his staff. It is magnificent.

Then to visit the screenshots page and see the first closeups of the gunners in action. You have made my day!! The detail of the animations is obvious, even on a still frame. And the graphics are superb !!

Well done JMM, you can design a game for me anytime !!

I d/l this .avi file and put it on my HD.. but now, I am having problem viewing..

I have tried viewing with DivX 2.0.. which used to work with .avi files in the past from HistWar, IIRC...

But all I get is flashing screenshot of the gun and crew.. but, no animations.. I can see the file is loaded in the DivX player.. and it is about 8 seconds long.. but, no animation at all...

I have tried Win Media Player 7.01 also.. but, no luck..  despite the configuration in Media Player that says it supports .avi files.. it doesn't.. all I can see is white screen..

I know this is not a tech forum, but do you have any suggestions?

Bonsoir,

You have to use the DivX V5.1.1.
This codec allows a very huge compression and a nice quality.

You can download this free tool at:

I am waiting for your possible problem

Merci!.. I will have to d/l this new DivX 5.1.1 player.. I can use the free trial version for a while, then I may have to purchase it for $40.00..

It is a 8.65 mb d/l.. so, on a dialup this will take about 30 - 45 minutes..

Then, I will have to uninstall DivX 2.0 alpha and install DivX 5.1.1.. should not be a problem..

If I can see the animation of the Guns, then this reconfiguration of SW will be worth it!

Hello Sam,

I have d/l DivX 5.1.1 and it worked fine. The d/l took 15 seconds for me. It's nice with broadband.    :wink:

Your efforts will be well worth it even with 45 min d/l, I assure you.

I decided to purchase the DivXPro 5.1.1.. because the free version installs popup adware.. not good.. so, I spent the $15.00 for the d/l and got it registered.. everything is good now..

The animation for the Artillery is WONDERFUL!.. the recoil of the Gun.. the movements of the Crew.. really first rate stuff...

All that is missing is wheels turning on recoil.. and, of course, the sound, the flame and the smoke of this great shot..

A really good little movie.. of my favorite subject..

JMM,

That is a very nice .avi movie. Many thanks. This game just gets better and better.

It seems that you are going to provide what many of the new breed of wargamers are asking for. Spectacle, as well as good gameplay.

And your attention to detail, both in uniforms and unit organisation/structure is like a breath of fresh air. Others have paid a token amount of attention to it, you are delivering it in full.

Well done. And keep up the high standard. You may be setting the benchmark, that realtime wargames will be judged by, for some time to come.

Kindest regards

sunray
