Nate! Thanks, mate - I'm very pleased there's life in the old girl yet :) I hope you're having fun and that your crew makes the full 25 missions. Fly far, fly well and teach those Jerries a lesson!

I just wanted to say I’ve been enjoying the mod! Works great!

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I own the physical version but it's nice to have a digital verion for quick plays as well.

I've only added some infinite bags for the counters used the most (no more unlock copy/paste) and I'm using the updated original charts which include all the official errata corrections from BGG.

Yeah loads fine and now only one of the tokens shows up in the list.

When I loaded the mod then saved my game it only saved the stuff on the table. That might be an option for you as far as removal goes since that token isn't on the default table.

Aha! Thanks, VipeRX - since I gave TTS some 'fill-in" graphics, does it now load 100% without issues for you? If not, please let me know and I'll have to educate myself on how to get to that mod list and remove those items. Yep - that silly old Buck. Even in real life, he stuffs me up from time to time :)

It was two tokens labeled "Buck". They aren't on the table just in the mod items list. Probably leftovers from your Better Duck run.

I've just updated the game, fellas. I couldn't come up with what was missing so I just gave TTS some graphics to replace the mysterious "missing ones" - I don't see them anywhere so they must not be important. The game now loads loads 100% for me. Give it a whirl and please let me know if there are still dramas.

Blackdeath and VipreRX - I've clicked on those url's and it doesn'tshow me which exact items are missing. I'd love to update and sort that out for you guys. Is it possible you could tell me what those bits might be? VipreRX - that was a great comment you left on the channel, mate - I left a reply for you. Much appreciated, man :)

Any hope of an update to fix those missing file errors?

I just finished the Better Duck playlist, film honestly, and it was amazing.

Hi, went to go play again and its misssing 2 files?

That did the trick. :-) Thank you very much!

Hi. I can't seem to be able to use the module. ALthough it loads up, the pieces are "stuck" and I can't set the board up. Even the dice don't move. Any ideias on why this might be happening and what to do about it?

Thank you in advance!

Brilliant work!! Thanks so much for putting in the time to create this. One of my favorite Avalon Hill games which I still have the boxed version of. Thanks again! I have had hours of fun!!

plasman, thanks very much. I love how the missions unfold with the die rolls. I reckon somebody could do a TV series using B-17 QOTS missions for the action and then throw in a crew and their dramas. Fantastic game. Although the missins take ages to make into videos, I'm stoked to have a log like this - a helluva lot more immersive than the printed sheets.

Awesome narrative video logs

Banzai_Cat, I'll get those uploaded asap. I forgot to answer your original question on how to change graphics in TTS. Make sure the GUI is enabled then right click the tile you want to change. A menu pops up and at the top is Custom. You click on that and there's a link to Image. You browse to your own image (web-friendly pngs work best) and upload to steam cloud (if you want to share) or local. Then you'll hit OK or Load (something like that) when it's uploaded and voila! Remember though to save at that point or you'll just get my guys back next time you start B-17 QOTS.

Thanks much! I'll check them out on my work laptop tomorrow (I have Photoshop CC on there, but not on my personal computer here).

And sure, if you don't mind sharing the other files, I'd love to get them! Thanks for providing them.

There you go, Banzai Cat. One is a tile with background, name and position - you insert your own picture ( a .png with transparency around it). The other is of one of the crew positions with the face cutout so you can easily drag a photo in, scale and move it to make it fit the blank space. i used a royalty-free model from the web. If you're after more of the latter types - just the faces cut out, please let me know - I have nearly all the crew in that format and I'd just delete my mates' faces from the tiles. Happy to thelp. I don't check Steam much, mate so maybe leave a comment under the latest Better Duck vid as I get alerts from YouTube.

cHoVe, I'd appreciate being able to get your template through DropBox, thanks!

Banzai_Cat, thanks for the compliments very much :) I've made a photoshop template where I make the crew tokens - really handy. Then I save each token as a web-friendly png and import them into TTS for use with the gameplay screenshots. I can upload my template to DropBox if you'd like.


TakeMeToChurchill, that's a great idea! Feel free to use all my stuff and upload your version. If you do, maybe mention me so I get a few more hits back here and hopefully some youtube hits too. I could make you a B24 piece if you'd like. I use photoshop to make a png with transparency and upload to TTS.

zetarho62, the charts are "as-is" from the box.

Do the charts have the corrected errata?

Would you mind if I tried modding the B-24 rules into this? Always wanted to play with those.

Hi cHoVe,

Really excellent work...I might use this in an AAR I'm producing, and I REALLY like the reporting method you used in the videos - very creative, exactly something I was thinking of doing (with sound effects to amp up the enjoyment for the viewer).

I have a question - I noticed you put names on the crew counters in your YouTube video; was that something you did outside of TTS and imported them?

I ask because, looking at those updated crew counters on the Placement Board, if you look at the Tail Gunner, it says "Johnny" across the side. None of the other pieces have a name and I assume that's a name from the video AAR you did. I was hoping to do something similar but as far as I can tell, there's no way to remove/change this label through TTS. Could you tell me how to change this?

Again thank you for your excellent work.

Hi,

I tracked down the missing files using Froghuts TTS MOD BACKUP utility. Not sure if that will help, but it does show the urls for all the files in a mod.

David, thanks for letting me know which bits are missing. I really want to sort this out but I'm not sure how to. I copied and pasted your url's into a browser but came to an error page. I go to my cloud manager in the game and it doesn't tell me anything; just what I've uploaded. Would you know how I can track down the objects? I find if I go to the workshop and click on the mod again, it loads completely - no 99% or anything, both missing files seem to be fine then...

Thanks for this Mod. Brings back thoughts of the old days when I played this one. My father was a nose gunner on a B-24 in 466th. I think I'll add a few of his photos to the table.

I am also having the issue of some missing files:

http://cloud-3.steamusercontent.com/ugc/448490635852902743/F52FA6B6F681BE50B1E128B65C41C019C191507F/

I'm not quite sure which parts are missing yet, its nothing obvious not showing a texture...

Thanks again,
-David

Hi Duane - yeh, it's weird. I get that someties too even though everything's loaded. I wish I knew how to solve it properly but what I do is this - I save the game once it's as loaded as it can be. I save calling the savegame, say, B-17 QOTS Set Up and then load that one. It comes up as 100% then. I plan to add some extra map boards and stuff so hopefully the new upload/update will sort that out.

One custom token texture is failing to load, but I'm not sure which one...

Nice. I have the original boxed up in the shed... Now I can play it =)

Thanks
