Official SEOW

Ok so it requires a political solution the SEOW community is a force to be reckoned with I really had no idea it was as serious an issue as it is for some small developers until I looked into it. This thread can now be moved to the political section as I have made my point.

I was hoping that someone more tech oriented than myself would pick up the ball here and run with it. Clearly there is a problem and I have selected a blog that explains it. The false positive I posted was one of 5 I recieved all of them were from open sourse software, If you feel frustrated, like m...

Here is my situation, I have done everything short of begging to get war gamers to try SEOW. I have offered to help them set it up on their own machine. I have offered to set up a campaign that they design, I would then build the template and host it on my server and admin it for them. If your askin...

This post was made A because I'm a curious get, and B to remind people to watch what there antivirus is doing and not just accept it knows better than you.

It's a false positive, I scanned it with 41 antivirus programs.

I always check what my antivirus programs wants to do, in fact my antivirus programs have caused me almost as much grief as viruses.

I'm not much of a computer geek but was curious why this happens.

You really need to read the wiki

SEOW campaigns are not something you just join and fly in, they are a strategic competition between teams with human pilots taking part in the successful completion of a ground war.

You can join us if you like we currently have two campaigns running and you will be able to meet people from 4 or 5 squads. Unfortunately both campaigns are using HSFX 5 and will be for some months to come, we will switch to HSFX 6 after both campaigns are completed.

I was going to drop this discussion as I was afraid that 4Shades and the other developers would find it as an unwarranted criticism of the SEOW system. I contacted him and he indicated that he did not feel that way so here we go. In my current campaign I sent the following message to my commanders....

I have had similar thoughts Emil and from what I gathered from 4Shades response is that the FOG of war built into SEOW compensates for these types of unrealistic scenarios by being consistently vague if simple. The complexity of the current system is sufficient to baffle my analysis and is perhaps b...

When using the Cartagena Sector SEDB33C Airforce_Units Table should be altered so that Republican forces are Allied not Axis. Care should also be taken to make sure the software you are using supports the special characters in the database. These character are related to Unit names which you may be ...

I really appreciate you guys taking the time to respond to this thread. As Brandle said I'm kind of wandering in circles in the dark. He is right of course we should do what we want to do and not worry about what other people think of it.

Hawks comments made me reflect on the reasons I started this discussion and have reached the conclusion that the primary motivation was a reaction to the fact that WPOJones and myself were unable to attract any interest from strategy gamers whatsoever. My offer to setup and admin the campaign did no...

Is it a discussion about what needs to be done to make the SEOW/IL2 system into an effective strategy game or is it a list of issues that need to be resolved in the current system as it stands? The thread appears to be a mixture of both. I have to admit it is a bit confusing and doesn't follow any ...

While we are on this subject I would like to point out that some care should be taken to pick an appropriate name when selecting from the reinforcements as in some campaigns the unit naming function seems a bit confused. Of course that could just be me
