https://github.com/beelee1/global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes
I didn’t add the entire world to the boxes but a good chunk of it . 115 TTys lol. Did Spain and Turkey but no other Neutrals. Was gonna do Sweden but said f it lol. It’s a pretty easy edit if needed.
Think I might try a name. See If I’m capable lol. Still need to update Notes too. I just made the 113 Box empty for now. Can use it for a decoration or more LMs if needed.
Hacked some Names together for placeholders until the real ones are ready. I spent a couple hours on it with gimp but my small cranium nearly exploded.
I’ll try and figure it out when have more time. Wanted to get something playable out. Still need to update Notes. If I get a second wind I’ll do a short and simple version then update.
Couple shots
Some Placements will need tweaked too.
Just a short nap :) Only US and UK to go and then Notes and we’ll be ready for Test Game :)
Gave the Desert TGs for now. We can swap when Tokens ready.
Update to 1.7
Ready to Play ! LOL
Change Log UHD Boxes:
Version 1.7
5/23/23
Boxes Done. Game Notes Update. Battleships and Super Heavys Fixed not Allowing to continue to Attack after taking Damage in Battle.
@VictoryFirst added your starter points to @Cornelis-Post to begining of Game Notes. Thought about a Notification but don’t wanna overpower Game Start. :)
Kinda Hacked on the Notes a bit. There always hard for me as I don’t necessarily explain things that well lol.
Anyway, It’s ready for a Playtest.
@Cornelis-Post if you still up for it, we can give Boxes it’s virgin run lol. I think the original game thread was good, I just didn’t realize you don’t assign Players like the lobby, because that was working for me.
Anyway I’m just gonna send ya new save on the thread. If you’re into it ,cool, if not, that’s cool too :)
I started on the names and found out a way to make them look nice. But I am unsure what size they should be. At the moment, I am making them on 2048x2048 so that I can properly make a black outline around them. Then I can shrink them.
@victoryfirst I can’t remember the size as they vary. I just copied from the centers text and took a screenshot and renamed it. If you go to misc folder, you can pull the images into gimp and it will tell you pixel size.
I have 164x67 for 1st waffen. Only one I wrote down because there all different.
That looks good but a little blurry to me. Maybe it’s sharper on the board and not blown up ?
I know Elk says to use NoHalo when adjust sizes
I think I figured out the Fcknm pbem lol
@VictoryFirst I would rename to same image in misc and replace it, then you can see how it fits. Send map picture when you do so I can see too :)
Edit
Nice Job On Free Ships ! F Yea ! 
Oh yea, so names in misc folder, Free ships in Changers units folder. Just need to rename him and put him in Changers folder and it’ll fire up
Forgot to change BB_Damaged image for JPN
Just replace in Japanese units folder
Heres 1943 EXP 1943 Boxes Setup.tsvg
I think you’ll probably want to keep the Units in the TTy if enough room. You can put the markers there to identify. If you’re attacking, it works fine as you can move form box but any defenders you would have to edit.
You can probably tell if battle is likely a lot of times, so leaving in the Box not that big a deal. You’ll also need to Edit any Formations that are created at Placement.
Will just have to play around with it and see what works best :)
Edit
Updated the save. I’ll just trigger everything so it’ll startup that way.
