Gunship!: The Times of Sand BETA page

09/23/2004	All the pics are still at the main GS:TOS page Most of the tools used are at the dev resource page.
	This is a beta version, representing perhaps 85-90% of a finished product. There are bugs, kludges, clams, shortcuts, wild ass guesses and bone headed mistakes. Enjoy them all... It's near enough to start mission building. The Order of Battle to will change thanlks to Psyklk's excellent research, however battles can be built with "placeholder"units.. The city tile layout will change I hope. Col. Gibbon from EAW has some very nice middle eastern city blocks coming, along with better power lines. Please don't tell anyone else about this page or share this beta version for now. It needs improvement, and I'm counting on you guys to find the serious problems I missed before release.

GS_TOSv1.exe 17MB	The installation file.
	Installation instructions: Make a new, clean installation of Gunship. Apply the 6/2000 MPS patch if you need it. Rename the directory of the new install as: Gunship_TOS Right-click on the installer file, and Save As into the new Gunship_TOS directory Run the GS_TOSv1.exe installer With any luck, you should now have a new desktop icon: Gunship The Times of Sand Click it if you dare.... NOTE: If no desktop icon is created, you can launch GSTOS by running this file directly or by making a shortcut: ..\\Gunship_TOS\gunshipTOS_v4A_shipsHiD.exe 9/29/2004 update: There are two small patches now available: Right-click here to download FarmObjData.zip . Save/Unzip into your Gunship_TOS\data\tiles\data folder. Contains object placement files for the Farm 1&2 tiles. (I forgot 'em. Makes a huge difference.) Right-click here to download GSBETACobraFix.zip . Save/Unzip into your Gunship_TOS\data folder. This will (I hope) fix the CTD problem with Polak's new Cobra. Contains 3 sub-zipped files. See readme.txt for info.
GSTOSv1PlatDef.xls 62kb	The Order of Battle Listing of the Platoons as set up in this version of the EXE. Probably final. 9/29/2004 update: Thanks to Psyklik, this is NOT the final OoB. He has made several suggestions which are a significant improvement in Platoon composition. A new EXE will be available shortly.
GSTOSv1VehDesc.xls 75kb	The details as to how each vehicle is armed and configured in this version of the exe.
GSTOS_theme.zip 7MB	New theme music for GS:TOS. Unzip as ...//Gunship_TOS/sounds/wrapper.wav, overwriting original. (which can be restored from the CD if you don't like it...)
GSTOS Intro .BIK movie 2.6MB	I haven't been able to get the new exe to call any new intro movies for some reason. (Such as this one.) Hopefully smarter folks will have better luck...
GSTOS_v1.PDF 1.4mb MSWord .doc version 2.3MB	The rough draft of the manual I released earlier. Probably not essential, but help yourself. NOTE: Contains Platoon definitions that are NOT accurate! Use the Excel spreadsheets above for now.
