Edit: These work. Did you build a new one? It does not affect already built submarines or aircraft carriers, but adds a new weapon to newly-built ones.
Ah, no - I did not build fresh Submarines and Carriers. Perhaps the Research text should be modified to mention that these changes only affect newly built Submarines and Carriers; it's not intuitively obvious from the current text.

Oh, quick question - are you intending to add code so that ships can return to port and planes/choppers land at airports? The lack of healing does tend to limit the life expectancy of these (very pricey) units and make them hard to level up. (I assume you've already considered, and rejected, the idea of having vehicle/aircraft/naval mechanics).

._. had you tried? because they got that when planes got that.

And I don't believe it gets headshot every time. I think its like a 30% chance if it hits. so... 24% of the time.

Any hope of an ETA for the next release, or is development in limbo?

I've been on break. Keeping up with my schoolwork and the likes. I could probably upload a new one, with the amount of changes we have, but it still has some of the things I wanted in missing.

Beta 2.75 Released

Tanks and vehicles got overhauled, MANPADS got split from Anti-Armor Infantry
Scouts got downgraded
Units unloaded from land transports have more movement, and special unload units (marines, paratroops, and seals) get even more than that.
Wingmen replaced Marshall's Commandoes, they'll be given their intervene ability later.
Activists replaced Anarchist's Concussion Bombs
Abunch of other stuff that I forgot in my absence.

Depending on your selection when installing, it will either be placed into "My Games" or where Kobe said. If it isn't in either of those, then it isn't in the default installation location.

isn't it .../Wesnoth 1.6/userdata/data/campaigns?
.../Wesnoth1.6/data/campaigns is where the mainline campaigns are I think.

I'm pretty sure wrathbow is right. I have no idea about other OS.

Also, when you're joining a game you can look at the leader's "Recruits" to see a rundown of its pros cons and unique units. A host cannot see that, but I'd hope anyone hosting already knows what they're doing.

Before I started posting about what I've been working on, I wanted to make sure it was okay with you to post what I've made. The reason I do this is because I use some aspects of your Modern Combat mod (editted images and sounds) and I wanted to make sure it was okay with you that I used these. Here's a small sample, for example:

I modified the cfg files to point to add-ons and got it to work in 1.7.9

Let me know if you want the files.

Same here. (but I use 1.6.4) I didn't say anything though since I figured you would already know.

Well, I got rushed by some people on the latest update, that is likely what the new problem is, since I was unable to really test alot of changes >>

Plus the lack of A_Guy has put a lull in any work, aaaand I'm busy with school and pretty much on a wesnoth hiatus.

I'll get back to it, eventually, hopefully.
