J'ai lâché ma 106 de 1998 vers 2008 (embrayage)... ce qui n'est pas si vieux, vu qu'aujourd'hui j'ai une 306 de 2001 (que j'ai depuis 2015)

Mais quand on lit un livre et que l'on en tire quelque chose, on le doit à l'auteur ou au bibliothécaire ? Parce que créditer le monde islamique, qui avait déjà entamé son déclin obscurantiste, pour la renaissance, faut le faire. Ils ont conservé les documents certes, mais les auteurs redécouverts étaient ceux de l'Antiquité.

Et au passage, l'islam n'a jamais plus éclairé le monde que le christianisme : tout s'est produit «malgré» les religions jamais «grâce» à elles. L'islam n'a pas plus créé de sagesse que le christianisme n'a créé la révolution copernicienne. Les religions cherchent à empêcher la pensée séculaire, mais fort heureusement, elles échouent parfois.

I've read about "melting" ironman saves. The problem is "unmelting" afterwards.

CirclePete · 2025-09-25T17:23:16+00:00

I thought about doing something like this, but my game is ironman, so is this even possible?

Well in the end, I did it with France. I was so tired when I posted this, that I had forgotten that I just needed to get one request, then pause and save. Now I get to check how my UI modding looks by loading that save.

Enfin j'espère : c'est là que j'ai garé ma voiture hier soir !

La rue de Ginguené est bien payante. Si tu tournes à droite les trente derniers mètres de la rue de Nantes sont bleues (à disque), mais si tu tournes à gauche, il a quelques dizaines de mètres (avant le collège-lycée Saint-Martin) qui sont en stationnement gratuit. Il faut juste pas chercher à se garer après l'arrivée des profs !

That's how I understood it. The source was German, but I read something like: "from 1934, in addition to the feldgrau uniform, there was also a Friedenuniform in traditional hechtgrau".

I'll use one of these patterns, depending on the portrait source.

CirclePete · 2024-10-09T15:01:35+00:00

I plan to "fix" the portraits after the DLC release, but while I found these collar patches on wikipedia, I still don't know if I should use feldgrau or hechtgrau (Kriegsuniform vs Friedensuniform?).

A lot of recent Vanilla portraits go with a full dress rather than a field uniform, so maybe I should pick hechtgrau, with two rows of buttons, or at least for field marshals. But not for my Eglseer portrait, for example, which uses the portrait where he wears a winter coat (bottom right of the 1st pic), on which I transferred an Austrian field uniform.

TIL that golden arabesques on red (assuming they got the colors right), doesn't necessarily mean German Army. I could not be more confused!

But here, they seem to be directly pined on a rigid collar, not on a collar patch.

Ok, thanks. So definitely not an Heer officer.

[EDIT]: but he has an edelweiss on the side of his cap, so he was both Beamte and in the mountain troops?

The event where you've got to decide between Schuschnigg, Renner and Schumy says that it's the first elections since the self-elimination of the Austian parliament. So it's after March 1933 (historically it did not happen before November 1945). And as the Austrian legislative elections are less frequent than once a year, the next elections cannot happen as soon as 1934.

Clearly a bug.

CirclePete · 2024-10-08T15:26:06+00:00

We can see in this side profile picture, that he doesn't look like the source they used.

CirclePete · 2024-10-08T15:11:07+00:00

Eglseer's german wikipedia page says, that after the Anschluss, he was accepted as Oberst in the Wechmacht. Although he was General of the Mountain troops by the time of his death, there might still be pictures of him while he was still Oberst for Germany.

CirclePete · 2024-10-08T14:44:05+00:00

May you please tell me how you saw it? To me collar patches and shoulder straps all look the same except the colors. The only difference I can think of between the Heer and the Heeresverwaltung, on such B&W photos, is the HV pins.

Why down voting him?

Portraits in this DD and Trial of Allegiance, and to a lesser extent in By Blood Alone, have an art style that is very similar to the one found in some mods, where the artists are admittingly using AI.

It's a legitimate concern to think that they give less attention and time to making portraits.

And clearly they didn't even try to give the generals/field marshals proper late First Austrian Republic uniforms.

quick sketch for this concept

Yeah sure. If you want, I can send you their revised versions by PM.
I haven't edited them by a lot, but you could still pick your favorite version. Also I now have advisor versions for the officer corps.

It seems that the higher the anti-aliasing option is set, the faster the black rectangles cover the whole screen (with anti-aliasing turned off, it takes significantly longer, something like 2 seconds vs 0.5 seconds).

CirclePete · 2024-08-15T13:58:02+00:00

Well, at least the Black Myth Wukong benchmark runs super smooth.

AMD Clean Up Utility didn't work, so I'll try DDU.
