A tiny bug report. Starting zeppelin crashes on preview. The thing is just too big

Excellent!

Keep up the great work.

Agreeeeeeed!

Thanks for the kind comments! It makes me happy to see support for this old mod. It took us like forever to get the update done.

Hi. I've just started playing this mod pack and enjoying it immensely, but I can't figure out how to work the stationary "Maxim MG Turret." It always has 0 time units. Does anyone know, do I need to load ammo into it, does it need to be manned, how do I do that?
Thanks so much.

[efrenespartano]

Hello! Thanks for playing, I'm glad you're enjoying the experience.

Manning turrets it's easier than it seems: you just need to get a soldier in front of the Maxim turret. Then, knee down and click either a bare hand or the purple Punch action button.

Each turn, the TUs of the soldier will be transferred to the Maxim gun, so you can shoot it. You can reload it like any other weapon, btw.

Hello. I would like to ask how can i crew an airship with pilots? I can easily crew landship with them. The airship selection screen is just blank.

[JustTheDude/CABSHEP]

Are you sure you have pilots assigned to this craft (alongside other soldiers)? You can only assign pilots that are in the craft.

Howdy! You require 5 pilots for the C-Class Airship, you need to add them to the crew like any other craft. The game automatically detects the pilots, you don't need to worry to manually select them.

Thank you.. This helped me.

Excellent mod, really loving what little I've played so far.

Though I have come across an issue (or its just a case of my own stupidity hopefully haha) But I can't seem to equip any craft weaponry onto the C-Class ships, yet the starting one has those weapons I'm trying to equip on the newly bought ones... Is this a bug or am I simply missing something obvious? Not the first time its happened to me before!

It's a bug! IIRC it was already solved, although the next update will take up a bit longer than expected due the radical changes in the personal armor system we're trying to implement. Too many sprites to draw haha.

Thanks for your feedback!

Thats really good to hear, I absolutely love settings that are akin/based on war of the worlds and this mod certainly scratches that itch, I look forward to playing it again when I can finally arm the blimps properly to actually fight the aliens properly

[GumChewer]

I agree with GrooveCrusader, a nice mod!
And, the same as for Unexcom:
Is there any further background music/sound recommendation apart from the submod/soundtrack?

[EleriumWard]

Good morning. I would like to ask for your assistance. I came across an error while playing the latest version of The Great War of the Worlds. I have attached my save file and a picture of the error. Hoping for your swift response. THank you.

Unfortunately, none so far. I was working on a small soundtrack submod using Hearts of Iron tracks, but it was lost on the time.

Sorry for the delay, i was away from the forums. I usually reply on Discord, tho.
The issue is being worked on with the help of a new dev, Kiro Xei. Hopefully it will be solved next update, which will be released soon!

Greetings, fellow Trench Raiders! To coincide with the historical Christmas Truce in 1914, we have launcher a major update! With the help of the newest dev of the team, Kiro Xei, we have finished enough changes to release this as version 1.0!  Work continues, of course. But now we can consider it different to vanilla and stable enough.
