Thanks jelly it's good now

Are you using it with the AoE theatre?
Let us know how it goes

yep Jelly tried out the AOE theater and it flies good,,i like the thinner dive indicator lines..getting mid 40'2 with 20 planes in my flight and it flies smooth,,just hope i have all the changes updates in correctly..Just can't figure out how to change the seasons..

You can change the day, month, hour, and minute by clicking on the value





The seasonal terrain used depends on the date

I often set the mission time by looking at the sunrise and sunset values to get those early morning or late evening screenies

Something so obvious and I totally missed it,,Thanks

It has been there since 1.28F

Ok just didn't see it before,flown 1.29,,1,60 and Pro and only set the time of day to dawn,noon or dusk..guess an old dog can learn

Actually the day and month setting is in some 1.28e versions

If you want to try some more new tricks then check the 160 host-only thread

Modred, this is a fantastic edition, thank you! I have both your original from moddb and also the 1.60 add-on. Great stuff.

Mr. Jelly - any chance for an update to the 1.60 addon that includes the new B25 "Mitchell II" addon and fixes released March 17? (and thanks so much for your work with 1.60 )

Thanks Redwolf

A variation


Modred provided his 1.28c installation as a complete standalone folder.
It is a folder with over 10000 items, which makes it difficult to find a particular file.



It also gets installed which can potentially cause "ini" file problems with later operating systems. There are plenty of warnings suggesting that people should copy "installed" folders, paste them elsewhere and then uninstall the installation.

The structure does not allow for some key features of 1.28c which is the "Dir.set" system, and seasonal terrains.

A "1.28c_JellyPack" has been available from MediaFire for some time, so I added Modred's game to it, made a "Dir.set" file and included the seasonal terrains.

This is a screenie of the folder and you can see the AoEGame folder


This is the AOEGame folder:


...and this is a text conversion of the "Aces over Europe" file in the "DirSets" folder which is copied and pasted into the root folder as the "Dir.set" file when the player selects "Aces over Europe" using the "DirSetExeManagerV5.exe":

AoEGame
3dz-tpc
Data and strings
FM
Music
PicMenu
savedata
snd
Sprites
NULL


Using the "DirSetExeManagerV5.exe" I can select Modred's game and fly it, with seasonal terrains.

Can I play aces over Europe with the default eaw planes set? Is it made or applicable

Sorry, but that's not possibile. AOE was designed for the 1943-1945 historical period.

i love playing 1.28c_jellyPack thank you Mr. jelly I really appreciate
i don't' have 1941 Peral harbor in my game
could i play the default game of EAW in 1.28c_jelly pack? if yes how

I will see what I can do
