ZunTzu

I agree with you completely--which is why I'm doing Anzio for ZunTzu instead of playing Italia on Vassal.

I'd still like to know if 2.0 will be able to handle stepped counters. I guess only Jerome can answer that.

Congratulations Jerome! It looks terrific.

Can you tell me if it is able to handle step-reduction counters? That would be counters that have more than one flip side: 5 to 4 to 3 etc.

Also, will it run on older platforms like XP?

Thanks.

It is indeed a puzzle. And for me, without another XP machine to test against, it will have to remain so. I'm glad changing the files to non-interlaced worked for you. And I thank you for introducing me to the wonderful IrfanView program. I will definitely make good use of it. So for now, I'll give ...

Bill, I have 1 GB of RAM, 80 GB hard drive, XP Service Pack 3. I just loaded Anzio with only the two non-intelaced files and got the same result: The 300 dpi file crashes, the 150 dpi loads fine. (As I expected, the Vista machine ran them both.) I think now that interlaced/non-interlaced is not what...

Exactly. I wanted to see if anyone else's XP machine would crash using the same counters. But you're right Bill, I should have included a non-interlaced set as well. So here is the corrected game-box called "Anzio crashtest". http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?s458c8su28d8e6q There are ...

Bill, I have taken your advice and downloaded IrfanView. It did indeed knock my 29mb map file down to 17. Amazing! Thanks. Back to the Vista/XP story: My wife's Vista laptop ran the modded D-Day (even before IrfanView lightened it) in all scenarios and all tabs with no problems. XP crashed on the &q...

To Bill and whomever else may be interested.... Here is the link to the game-box I call Anzio v1.0: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?r5ywz9mb127a65q As explained previously, it runs fine on my Vista machine. Under XP, the tab called "Twenty counters at 300" causes ZunTzu to close when...

Bill et al, I think that D-Day scenario reference may be a great clue and probably goes to what Jerome was asking about scenarios being consistent with the game-box. I opened up my modded D-Day and it crashed ZunTzu only in the "Open" scenario and only when I clicked on the tab marked &quo...

Hi Jerome, Thanks for joining in, though I'm sure everybody would rather have you spending your time on ZunTzu 2.0. (Me too actually.) I'm not sure what you mean by "consistent". The box simply defines the image file and the sections where the counters are cut out. The setup scenario speci...

Ah, Bill, I wish I could say that was the answer. I'm sorry to say it isn't. The files were non-interlaced. I drew the counters in Corel Draw 9 and exported them as png files. I made sure NOT to check the box marked "interlaced". Just to make sure, I exported another set of counters and DI...

Here's something that has me stumped. I was adding counters to a game-box and everything worked fine on my Vista machine. When I opened the game-box on my XP desktop the map displayed fine but when I clicked on the "Counters" tab ZunTzu shut down. I don't remember the error message. The ma...

I would like to know the answer to this question too. In a game where the units have several strength values ("steps"), a simple front/back counter flip is insufficient. And rotating the counter is no solution here. Is there a way ZunTzu can cycle through several steps for the same counter...

Could you try switching User Account Control off? Ah Jerome, you did it! It works! I turned off User Account Control, rebooted, downloaded ZunTzu and the program installed perfectly. I turned User Account Control back on, rebooted and started ZunTzu. It ran perfectly! Amazing. Thank you so very muc...

Hi! Are you using Internet Explorer? Does it work if you make Internet Explorer your default browser? Thanks for the quick response Jerome. Yes I am using Internet Explorer 8. It is my default browser. I don't have any other. (If this means anything, I get a failed message everytime I try to update...
