Hello Nix,

How do you create the dds alpha (ex: 000B for hougoumont) ?
I use gimp as software but it's may be the same for all "photoshop" like programs.

Hello,

I see you installed la Haye Sainte and Hougoumont from Nix ;  As I'd many problems with patches installation I'd rather question other users before installing ....
So, la Haye is in Zip which usually runs well for my compi., but Houg...is RAR which is extremely problematic to me
So, after installing ,  had you play and find everything OK 
Is installation easy or requires master's degree grade A to understand ?
The pics I saw are very promising and I hope to add them soon
Thanks,
Oster

I don't see how RAR can be "extremely problematic to" you.
Just use Winrar, or 7-zip, or another similar utility http://www.win-rar.com/website/index.php?id=start&L=10

Or just use Winzip, the same software you use to open any zip file !

I don't see how RAR can be "extremely problematic to" you.

I don't know why but I'd many problems using RAR  and very few when using ZIP.....
Maybe It is only  because I seldom used RAR.  (I'd also read critics from other occasionnal  compi. users about difficulties of this soft....)
Another explanation is I now have a computer of the first generation of 64 bits :Winzip was installed -and operationnal-  but RAR needs adjustments ,  as it appears in the link you sent me.
I experimented various other problems with this compi. on Win7 and 64bits.  One of the worst being a continuous stream of  upgrades in which I seldom know which one are really necessary, and the boring calls to load Google chrome, new Explorer etc...when I just begin to understand the present configuration
As there are "Babies" computers, maybe MS should think of a "Oldies" Win77 with a short learning curve for tired brains 
Anyway, I thank you for help

Hello Prince Borodin,
I watched your last publications with great interest, being admirative of your devotion to your favorite Battle and surroundings
Ostrowno didn't advanced so fast....I'm in an extremely boring process of works in my old house as we were stupid enough to trust a manager ensuring  all will be done in a 8/10 days max. time....
After more than 3 weeks we're still in the middle with lot of malfunctions
So, my study and creative time is limited and I'm very tired....but, I still hope to watch soon a French blue Tsunami invading the Sacred Soil of Roudinia (?)
Bon courage
Oster

I have no problem with the Hougoumont model (on the 2 adapted maps), but whatever I try or how I may install (directly or with JSGME) I always have problems with the Haie-Sainte : the screen blocks and I have a box

Does anyone have the same problem ?
I don't want to bother JMM with that, because apart from the Haie-Sainte model, everything goes fine.

You use La Haie model with madrussian mod?
