go there http://forums.introversion.co.uk/defcon/viewtopic.php?t=3074 in the end of the thread there is the address where you can download my geopolitics mod. It is not perfect and does not support v1.2 correctly (due to use of a modded cities file) but works enough for a test. Some players found it...

Thanks AT for your feedback. I simply used a good graphic editor (GIMP) and altered the various bmps. Yes, it was a lengthy process. I have not enough time to play now and of course to go on improving the mod. Further, as there was not much reaction to it, I suppose it was not interesting for the va...

Yes, geopolitics works perfectly with 1.1 (it has been designed with this version). As a mod all players need to have it on their Hd. Patch 1.2 was supposed to allow easy play with mods but it makes a mess with modded cities.dat which kills all the purposes of geopolitics mod. :evil: Stas, did you h...

For those willing to help.

Thanks for your help and opinion.

For those interested : the geopolitics mod. or current cultural wars.... Crude beta. Note there is a problem with AI and v1.2 is not supported..... I do not have enough time to remedy..... Let me know your opinion, particularly if you think something can be easily improved. read the readme..... Than...

Thanks for your proposal Mr Monday. HOwever I was willing to do the job alone (do not think it is interesting for others to correct my mistakes). What I needed was a sort of help file about ai markers. It seems there is no such thing. In fact I m trying to overcome the problem by studying other mods...

Great mod.
Very interesting but it is painful for "Southeners". Perfect for cold war however.
Good job.

OK, again a problem which requires help.... I was about to rejoice with my geopolitics mod when I noticed that AI fleets were cooly crossing CONUS ! I checked and of course as a player I was unable to do that. It seems AI does not bother with sailable.bmp. I do not know really what is taking place. ...

I tried your icons domox, I was interested in the fighters and destroyers. However the fighter is far too small. Others are small but it could be acceptable. Actually if anyone could provide a good modern ugly fighter..... I like the default bomber, it is frightening..... the fighter is "toyish...

Simply destroy the data subdirectory in your defcon directory (it has been created by the suite). (not in any Mod directory of course....)
The game will revert to default bmps.
It should do the trick.

thanks Hellcatv for the info,
the new RenderNodes did the trick (and I also noticed that Gimp had changed my bit depth....).
Begins to look nice now.
Thanks again and hurrah for the 1.2 !

Hi all. I need some advice.... I m finishing a mod which needs tinkering with sailable.bmp and travel nodes. I have edited the travl_nodes with exactly the same number of points (not tinkering with the palette or the mode, I had horrible catastrophes previously....)but when I save the file (using GI...

Icepick : thanks for the precision, we have already found that, the problem was why some cities were not proportionnaly accurate (in the cities.dat) and the algorithm to compute the final size (I got the impression that the number of cities was not exactly the one asked for). Actually at this stage ...

To Lordsturm : I have already stated I was sorry for mishandling the first posts. I removed the pics so I do not think it is time to chat about that. :( Regarding your question : Yes there are new cities with correct populations but some of them are not visible due to game mechanics (need to change ...

Hi all, for those interested, the real cities cities.dat file is available for download. Aim : more accurate figures for "realist" proportional agglomeration populations. You get fewer cities but correct populations, cities and countries (for 2006). More details in the readme file. It work...
