Stainless Steel 6.3 Released

[bɑne]

Thing is I despise Megaupload, do you think you could either make a torrent of this or upload it onto a different place for an optional download mirror, a torrent would probably be easier, plus I trying to save save on my HDD since I magically lost about 30 gb of space somehow.

the op announces that new mirrors will created

Mirrors to follow in a couple of days.

a torrent will be created as well.

As I said there is a torrent coming no need to reiterate the benefits of a torrent.

Maybe someone could pass that along to the next pages when its asked again

You've got the next 18 posts covered now, at least

A new version of the title sub-mod is coming out soon, apparently, so if you wait a bit you won't have to do any self-modding at all.

Likely to be savemod compatible?

Infact, are any patches due for release soon such as fixing the faction flags, and will they be save compatible?

I'd hate to be half-way through an AAR again only to have to restart

Yes, the title sub-mod is save-game compatible (it both says so in the thread, and I can verify it as I used it for 6.2)
It only changes a single text-file, IIRC, and the text-file is loaded on game-start (or possibly on starting or loading a campaign), so it changes it for your save-games, too.

CC sais that the fix (available in Bug Reports for 6.3!)

Should be savegame compatible.

As long as its graphics it should be save game compatible (like unit pictures and the like).

It installs in it's own, separate folder, apparently. Can't verify this due to not having the time to download and play it atm.
And according to the OP, it works to install over too:
"Q: Can i install this on top of my SS6.2?
A: Due to the nature of 6.3, yes you can. Why? Because 6.3 will simply overwrite all the files anyway"

Part 3 is available again as far as I can see. If it still fails clear your cache or reload the download page (to reenter a new captcha and get a new link, the old download link m115 something will be invalid)

This is proving more difficult than with the previous SS version, according the gord96, SS 6.3 launches with a different exe called ss63launcher.exe or something along those lines. But when ou try to launch it with steam it says it's missing kingdoms.exe. Me and gord96 are working through thsi through PM's to try and get it foxed, will ethier edit my psot and make another one when there is a significant breakthrough, like time-travel or w/e.

Kind Regards
Will

Outstanding work gracul, I'd give you a dozen of reps if I could!
I only played with mod for a few minutes, but the difference can be easily felt. The installation is smooth, the main menu is nice as ever, and the turn times are clearly shorter than before, just to mention some features I already like.
So, all I (and the players as a whole) can say is:

[Peteriscoolz]

Hey Is Ireland stil there?

[preachercheeze]

[preachercheeze]

Hey Is Ireland stil there?

Nope... it is replaced by the Timurids...

I'm slightly disappointed that the the Islamic unit rosters weren't at least more diversified , though otherwise I"m having a blast so far.

Though I few things i notice, not sure if this is intentional or something else (i didn't do total reinstall, just deleted old SS folder)

1. I think I heard that there was a new movie? but it still look the same? or is it because it was already addedin 6.2? (memory fuzzy)

2. for some reason now when enemy general's killed there's no longer a cut scene? is that intentional to make games smoother?

3. turn time seem to be significantly improved. thank the heavens

According to the FAQ, it works fine to install it even without deleting the old folder, so it's almost certainly not some freak bug caused by you not doing a complete reinstall.

Is anyone else getting this graphic glitch? I'm getting it every 5 turns.

Also, was the education system removed?

There is no need to uninstall your 6.x versions as long as you don't install 6.3 on top of them you can keep them both.

thats the best part about 6.3! now you can have full Stainless Steel and a nice submod like BotB on your 6.1 without multiple copies of MTW2.

Also, was the education system removed?

Now that you mention it, where ARE the schools etc?

I've noticed generals stil have 'minded' traits, but there's no schools to build?
