Super minor thing, but I just found a content error. In the attached screenshot you will see 'the the' in the text.

77_Scout, I found another very minor typo. The description reads "due to strong enemy porition south" instead of position. Do you want me to keep sending you these minor typos?

Got it! Thanks Banjonman. It's nice to get these little typos squashed.

I'll hopefully put out a Version 4.1 very soon with these typos fixed up, plus I have added a few more news articles to 1916 in recent days.

Here is a new version.

LINK REMOVED - see original post for latest version and link

Thanks to the great feedback (above), I realized I still had a boatload of spelling and grammar issues to fix so I have given the mod a complete going over with spellcheck and fixed lots of other minor issues too. Please upgrade to this latest version.

If you guys see more issues (typos, whatever) I appreciate hearing about it. There is a lot of data in this mod and it is painstaking to check, so having other people report problems really helps.

Thanks and I'll go over it with spell check as well, can't have too many eyes looking at your writing.

Sorry my friend, but I found another typo. It should read "meaningful" instead of "meaning full".

Thanks guys. Good catch. I'll fix up right away.

I have found a few other minor typos myself in the last few days so I will get out a new version soon. There will probably be a few more typos to pop up, but seems like all is in pretty decent shape now. If version 4.3 is showing on my first post then the new version is 'up'.

EDIT: Version 4.3 now available through link in original post.

OK, thanks Manfas. I will have a look and fix as appropriate.

Edit: Good catch! I appreciate the sharp eyes. Problem confirmed and fixed. It will be corrected in next version. I am still adding articles to the mod as time allows, so a newer version will hopefully appear in the not too distant future.

A link to Version 4.4 of my News Mod is now available in the original post of this thread.

It has about 20 more news articles compared to the previous version, and a few small error fixes.

Thank you, Scout!

I just downloaded v4.4 last night and installed it. I can hardly keep up with all the work you modders are doing and I consider your news mod another "must have!"

Cheers! salute

Hi Guys: Version 4.5 of the News Mod is now posted ... I have updated the link in the original posting.

All the new improvements in this version are thanks to BuckeyeBob. He has contributed about 17 more articles to the newspaper and made a whole lot of great edits and additions to the existing stories. It's super good stuff and many thanks to him for polishing a lot of the blemishes out of my previous work!!

This new version now has 710 news articles (1915=140, 1916=220, 1917=172, and 1918=178).
