King Al (and he IS king, BTW) is helping me try to recover lost data from the old computer. This BartPE isn't something a noob like myself can figure out intuitively. Anyway, found my bomber icon. http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8827/bomberwgtg5.png Still looking though. Hopefully I'll be able to r...

KingAl, I downloaded PE Builder v.3.1.10a which I think incl BartPE. Clicking on your link, to the BartPE page, I hv to admit I'm not a programmer and I understand little of the computer-speak found on such pages, not to mention their forums. I don't wish to hijack my own DefCon WarGames Mod forum i...

Darkio25, that looks like a common computer font, perhaps from Apple ][e. It's similar to a font called "80s PXL Bold." It also reminds me of "Algol-regular" font. I've seen several iterations similar on the internet. No exact matches probably, there's always minor differences. O...

Here's a screen capture from the movie... if anyone wants to try their hand. http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2136/defconaircraftla1.png BTW, I purchased two videos about NORAD when I started making this mod... NORAD has enough supplies to last several weeks, but no where near 10 yrs. Also, if you...

Well, my harddrive crashed this wkend. It was raided for speed - I may have lost everything. I didn't copy all my DefCon stuff to my spare computer just yet. Well, all the cool sound mods I created are already on the other computer, but that's stuff I couldn't share b/c half of it was borrowed fm co...

Demosthanese says I could make Colorado Springs (NORAD) another type of target, such as a strategic center, and thus change the icon to something like a star (like in the WarGames movie). I'm afraid I don't follow. There are cities, and then there's cities. I'm not aware of being able to call a city...

I discovered if I correct the population of San Antonio, making it larger, its text label becomes larger, so that it now overlaps Houston's label. IMHO, all the text labels are a bit too large. You get a few nukes going off, missiles launching, silos being destroyed, etc.. and the screen is so clutt...

Interesting. You're right. It takes the number of cities allowed, by size, then changes their populations (I guess according to some game parameter to make eveyone have an equal number of population to nuke). The "1" at the end designates whether the city is a capital city, so that if you ...

Someone said NORAD could be added easily. HOW? I noticed that Colorado Springs is already in the database in the english.txt document. So I typed in NORAD next to it and added a "1" at the end of the line, thinking that's how the program decides which cities to show. Didn't work. Perhaps I...

I dated an American Indian once. So was she 1/2 Native American, 1/2 American ? It gets confusing. If you ask her, she'd say she lives here, but she's 100% Native American, not American. There's a congressman that was born and raised in South Africa. He's as lilly white as they come. Yet he gets lab...

Kunshu, American is not a nationality. You're either an American or you're not. I have Scottish ancestry, but I can't claim to be part Scot and part American, although I suppose one might have dual-citizenship. I am an American, with Scottish, English, and German ancestry. Does that make me 1/4 Amer...

Hope you like vector graphics, very 80's. But feel free to substitute your own aircraft icons. In the movie, the Russian bombers were drawn red with blue trails. But it's impossible (or is it?) to make trails a different color than that of your territory. Anyway, here's a sneak-peak at the WarGames ...

Thanks Chris! It's great to see Introversion staff reading our posts - AWESOME! I'll have a go a the Southern US border this wkend. I already figured out (sort of) how to eliminate the problems I had with the sounds slowing down, I just deleted all the lines I didn't understand, such as MINDISTANCE,...

Drat, the Nuclear Explosion is also used for all explosions, even when a plane shoots down another. So that just looks silly. Will use a smaller version of the default explosion, so it isn't so big and doesn't cover half the surrounding cities and details. My airport icon looks plain silly. Will hav...

Thanks for everyone's kind comments. I didn't really intend to make NORAD a point-worthy target (although I guess that could be done). I just wanted it to appear on the map the same as it appeared in the WarGames movie. Hmm...rivers. I think they would only look like more borders and thus confuse us...
