Steel Beasts Pro Discussion Thread

Thanks Yassy.  That's my first Steel Beasts downloaded mission.

Great! The score system should now work as well.
I tried to make it so that it reflects not only your individual score, as well as present the player with a good sense of overall score.
Be aware that you have two priorities in the mission; 1) make sure as many friendly units survive as possible 2) occupy objective Alpha.
These will score the most points.
But there is fun to be had trying to get in as high a score as you can, of course! ;)

This is a good mission for a small groghead platoon O0

I'm up for tomorrow

O0

I will be on earlier but 20:00 can be an official time :)

[Nefaro]

I'll check in sometime early this week.  Been busier than usual and some tabletop gaming has taken up part of the free time.  :)

It's been approved! Get it here now as well (preferred location to offload my Dropbox): Breach and Occupy at Steelbeasts.com

Downloaded, looking forward to try it!  O0

Thanks Cougar! Be sure to let me know what you think of the scenario.
Currently working on something bigger on the new Rovajarvi map. ;)

[JudgeDredd]

Sorry I won't be on tonight because there's something I want to watch but it's not on TV - so I have to watch it online.

I'll be back online probably Thursday now

[JudgeDredd]

I'm being an idiot - where do I put the mission and briefing?

NM - found it in My Documents\eSim Games\Steel Beasts

Yass - was that the mission we did some time ago with the "swimming" enemy inf?

I think that was my first mission.


Question Asid...there's a couple of times I've went to jump from external/map into the gunners position of my Chally and when I get there, the gunner has smoke loaded.

a) Is this normal and
b) How do I get them to change ammo
c) In fact (forgetting the smoke issue for a moment) pressing Insert and Delete to change between Sabot and HE doesn't seem to work for me. I know the gunner won't change whatever is in there - so if you order HE and there's a Sabot round in there, he won't unload - he needs to fire the Sabot to get the HE in - but he never seems to follow my command and load the ammo I tell him.

Take the commander position to change ammo type.  I don't think the gunner can command the loader to change the ammo.
Also to replace an already loaded round, double press Insert / Delete / Home / End. Single tap means it will change after firing.

Thanks!  :)

Yes it was the mission in an earlier form. The infantry oddity is beyond our control and a known issue.
