[*ToV*] New Enhanced Combat Leader: Beyond Overlord ver.2.9.4 Released!!

[hnunez]

the file is to big to store on mediafire they cap out @ 100MB. sorry, will re-upload to filefront again and submit the file there. hopefully that will get the file some better access.

[IndigoSpyder]

How about in Moddb?

[hnunez]

i have posted a new mirror with an alternate download location at ModDB which should solve problems for those of you who have download issues with filefront. please check the first post for the download link.

[RAZ0RLIGHT]

damn
i dont have unit sounds in the german and english campaign of Opposing Fronts

and the useable weapons on the ground arent marked

[hnunez]

im currently working on bug fixes for the next release thanks for your post i will check on those issues and get to working on them.

[bwc153]

RAZ0RLIGHT, COPY the speech files in the archive (Program Files/THQ/Company of Heroes/WW2/Data/Archives) into the folder in the mod folder that has english something as a name then try it, it should have the voices (if not, try the Locale folder in it)

[ds_vet9091]

Great Mod, however, one bug I have found is that the last man of the mortar squad cannot be killed and still fires off rounds, even while on the move. ( I play in skirimish mode, so this may be the reason) Provides really fast and fun gameplay.

[Loewenherz]

More to the point (regarding mortars): in Skirmish, early in the game vs. the AI, the mortar rules. To win, one need only deploy three or four mortar teams as soon as possible, then keep the enemy's base under steady bombardment (thus pretty much leveling all the buildings therein) while one's engineers/Pioniere capture points. I like that the mortar's range is more like it is IRL, but thus it's almost a magic bullet. Of course, if the AI can deploy a mortar team or two, watch out. Also, playing as Wehrmacht vs. US, mortaring wins the day, whereas vs. the British, I get mortared to smithereens.

On the plus side, though, I like having engineer/Pionier units that are combat-worthy! (Now if only both could plant demo charges and hurl satchel charges....)

[hnunez]

yep great idea ill put that in the game asap.

[hanz gooblemien]

good job hnunez..clearly a lot of work went into this!

comments

pro:

unit sizes are much better
diversity of units refreshing
like the armoured combat feels more realistic
love the motor range

con:
motors outrange hummel/motor halftrack/etc? (would like to see all indirect weapons with similar ranges)
need better descriptions for infantry units ($no range$ errors)
would like to see better defenses (ie trenchs) for both sides.


Overall very good mod...keep er coming...and congrats

[Zeek]

I seem to be missing unit names for well, everything. Did you include the .ucs in this release?

[hnunez]

the next release should fix the UCS issue and provide the UCS file. the mortars range will be fixed also so that they shorter in range than the hummel and rocket artillery.

[Rannug666]

Bug: Allied Mortar is invincible, My Squads didn't Attack the Mortars, and instead just ran up to them and stood still. It was first when i used the "Fierce Granate Assault" that they attacked them, But still the last guy in the Mortar sqaud is invincible.

P.S. can be one of the best mods.

[Brunogg]

I trully think this is the best mod i ever played in terms of gameplay, the sounds are also amazing, really realistic. Good job mate for real.

[hnunez]

thanks for your support the next release will be alot better than this version and will fix alot of bugs.

[IndigoSpyder]

Hnunez, you have plans for the Brits and PE someday?

[hnunez]

yeah im working on them right now.

and will add more content to add more diverse units for each company command ghq for each opposing fronts doctrines

[hnunez]

the next release will feature: Required Doctrine for Starting squads (engineer) for the allies

Allies start with at-guns, Willys MB 1/4 ton. 4x4 Jeeps (.30-cal M1919A4), MMG, Mortars, engineer squads

Required Doctrine for Starting squads (engineer) for the wermacht (Heerstruppen) Infantry Army Doctrines: at-guns, nebelwerfers (for ss-waffen units), bmw r35, H.M.G.s, Mortars, engineer squads

Required Doctrine for starting squads (PE) Panzer Army Elite Doctrines nebelwerfers (for ss-waffen units), bmw r35, H.M.G.s, Mortars,Panzergrenadier Halftracks, Panzergrenadiers squads

[rommelrules]

[hnunez]

2.301 ver. at the moment havent patched yet waiting till tales of valor is purchased to update mod to 2.502

[Josh]

Hello. I've been trying to install this mod but seem to have a problem with it. I extract the ECL folder along with the module, created a new shortcut with the parameters on the first page, but when I try to run it, nothing happens. Can someone help me out?

[hnunez]

the module file needs to be changed to run with 2.502 or greater i havent done that yet so it will not run with versions above 2.301

[citizensoldier]

any time table on the modules? I'm itchin' to try out the mod I love all the accuracy you've done on paper, and would like to see it in practice

[Josh]

Ok, thanks hnunez.

[hnunez]

- Most infantry can construct a simple slit trench for basic 'in the field' protection (trenches no longer have the 'titanium alloy armor' statistics of generic Opposing Fronts)
- Bullets, shells, explosions, etc., are slightly more dangerous than generic CoH values
- When a vehicles engine is destroyed ('in the red'), it is immobilized until repaired
- A wider variety of units, abilities, and supporting call-ins
- Improved defenses for all 4 factions
- Most infantry units can 'escort' a unit (infantry-tank cooperation)
- Most vehicles can provide 'support' to a unit by following it(tank-infantry cooperation)
- No more 'automated automatons' crews in a mg pit, etc., now defenses have a proper population count(ex ; mg pit counts as 1 population)
- Realistic unit population values (ex ; churchill croc. tank has a population of 5, not 16)
- Infantry in heavy(green) cover can auto-camo (this presents good ambush opportunities)
- US airborne and British commandos/airborne can now build and upgrade behind enemy lines
- Mortar and most artillery units ranges have been increased
- Most infantry now stand a chance against tanks
-Wehrmacht gains veterancy like US, but a bit slower
-Most British troops can throw grenades when a captain is built

Gdya from the looks of it its a great mod ive played and im geting this on all the new units and abilities u have added
like the new enigneers and the mechanized inf( so i assume) anychance of realesing a hotfix for this or any tips on how to fix it?

[hnunez]

http://www.moddb.com/members/wolff69...ttenenglishucs

the ucs file patten.ucs is included and goes inside the folder X:\Program Files\Company of Heroes\Coh\Engine\Locale\English\

adding this file will eliminate any no key errors. it contains the Patten.Eglish.UCS and must be added manually (this is a temporary hotfix wich will be addressed in the next release.), this takes the advise I received a from players and attempts to address some no key error bugs for missing entries. Please feel free to try it out and a give your input. please feel free to download and try it out and remember to leave your feedback.

[Skruteas]

Both downloads are corrupt for me.

[hnunez]

extract the .rar file then run the CoH.exe into the following directory the ucs file patten.ucs is included and goes inside the folder X:\Program Files\Company of Heroes\

adding this file will eliminate any no key errors. it contains the Patten.Eglish.UCS and must be added manually (this is a temporary hotfix wich will be addressed in the next release.), this takes the advise I received a from players and attempts to address some no key error bugs for missing entries.

[The Lost Squad]

[hnunez]

@you the installer:

1.start with a clean install (delete all previous versions and locale file for the mod) then reinstall the enhanced combat leader mod hotfix_patch_ver292.exe and extract that to your company of heroes directory @ "C:\program files\thq\company of heroes\"

2.then run the locale installer named CoH.rar extract that then install and extract that to your company of heroes directory @ "C:\program files\thq\company of heroes\"

3.then run the game from the shortcut. (enhanced combat leader)

[huetti07]

go on with your nice mod!

[citizensoldier]

just for info: seems that ucs file causes problems with other mods and such..Is there a way to just be able to add it to ECL's locale folder and work as opposed to the main COH/engine/locale folder? also, does this mod work in any of the single player campaigns? Thanks for all the hard work and the adoption of Pofia mod...

[sandman0875]

"ECL Is a multi-player game modification for Company of Heroes"

...i know i risk incurring the wrath of everyone who visits this forum but i have to ask a stupid question:

is it possible to play this mod single-player?

I assume the answer is "No," but i don't play multi-player & this mod looks terrific

[hnunez]

you can play single player campaign/skimish against the AI

[[]inveigle[]]

I have to say that this is one of the best mods I have played for CoH. I had the chance to play the chit-based game when I was much younger and you have translated the concept superbly to the engine. All the elements are there and it is shaping up quite nicely. The AI could use some work (ie more aggressive). Thank you and keep up the fantastic progress.

Confirmed bug report: Any unit that has a timed setup ability (nebelwerfer, AT, arty ability etc.) you can have them disembark the weapon and then immediately mount again and the ability will be available.

[MagnAn]

Hi, this is a great mod, just one thing, when i'm playing I get a yellow box near the HQ's saying: .lua file missing, let there be panic.
In the warnings.log I found: FILESYSTEM -- filepath failure, missing alias 'TOOLSDATA:autoloddecimator.lua'

I had a "no range" error but I fixed that.
Don't know if I'm missing out on anything with that missing .lua file.

[hnunez]

thank you for your comments i appreciate your input your comments are very important because the feedback you provide will give us valueble debugging information.

[MagnAn]

I have crashes now, sometimes when i'm playing it just crashes and the relic error screen pops up.
Last time a small screen popped up saying something like: bug: splatt resource dll not found.

I noticed when installing it said twice that a file was already in existence, I didn't replace the file with the one windows was copying at the moment.

Could you help me please, cause this really is a great mod.
