NHCmod

[KaPaull]

Bugs:

America

1) Lieutenant Powell

a) Ability " Shot bazooka" is incorrectly . After a shot it is necessary to depart or the icon remains activated

b) Powell can take to 2 superfluous Thomson without improvement on it and one with improvement. On damage the hero it doesn't influence in any way.

2) Improvement from Armor doctrine doesn't influence veterancy of 1 level on Stewart, Calliope, Mass Product Sherman and Priest


3) The ability badge "Repair in field conditions" from Armor doctrine isn't displayed on Stewart, Mass Product Sherman and Priest

PE:

1) By transportation infantry in supply halftrack PE
Machine gunners are displayed incorrectly


2) Volsgrenaders PE and the hero have no ability "Sprint"


Sorry for my English
British and Wehrmacht will be later

[ab2531]

Powell bug is knowed. Just move him and everything will be fine. I may have forgot some tanks in the tank veterancy upgrade.The "Repair in field conditions" does not appear on the stuart and Priest (don't know how to fix that) but it is applied on them. The supply halftrack PE is a real bug I did not notice. Volksgrenadiers are not supposed to have the sprint ability.

Thanks Kapaull

[KaPaull]

Wehrmacht

1) Incorrect display of veterancy for swimwagen, flammenwerfer, flak 38



2) If i take "Tiger № 205" in game me take only tank and no more



3) If enemy to kill howitzers team and i will grasp it again, that veterancy will be incorrect. In howitzers team only two soldiers


4) Mortal bunker-the attack radius is incorrect (sometimes)


British

1) Steghaund it is accessible at once, and Stewart only after building of the captain

2) Lieutenant doesn't influence on 6 and 17 Pounder AT guns, but influences trophy tools


3) Bug with 6 lieutenants - at a general staff and a field staff separate limits


4) If call paratrop Commandos and Delete a radio - they take you free


----------

In mod there are other bugs, but I badly know English and it will be easier to me them to show in the game. For example replay or to play personally.

[xaff]

The problem is that when I enter the combined mod, the Soviets do not go out.
Another problem is that alone they go out buckets.
Someone could help.
Thank you

[ab2531]

Update your EF (use their exe) and if the problem persist, it must be because you are playing on a bad map or you have messed with the AI somehow.

[helenchan]

There is the same problem I have mentioned in #377 again. I would like to disable AI produce any hero in allies.

[xaff]

Hello
I have reinstated Eastern front and NHC
And the problem persists.
The avtivar COMBINER.BAT eastern front is loaded by it perfectly but only there go out the armies of EUA AND ENGLAND
The URSS do not appear.
If post EASTERN FRONT normally I can play with USSR without problem.

Not that I can do.

Thank you very much for helping.

[ab2531]

@helenchan: the previous trick with the attrib file still work. Extract the previous zip file in the the NHCToV folder (link is dead but if the DataAttrib.zip is still on your computer it will works). Note that it will be the previous Powell without direct fire.
@xaff: I don't understand the problem. Please explain your problem more clearly

[xaff]

When I activate the convinador of the two mods, it is activated eastern front but the army of the USSR does not appear.
Only EUA I appears ENGLAND

[ab2531]

What is EUA?

[xaff]

Hello

Already this solved, tape-worm E.FRONT in programmes files, and NHC in programmes files/thq/coh.
For this it was not working.

EUA=USA

Thank you very much for answering

[xaff]

The jackass grenade-launcher, it is true in the German army I use it.

I have seen it in this page.
Www.fotosmilitares.org

In WWII's paragraph.

[helenchan]

Sorry but...May I ask, can I edit v2.4a with the Mod Studio?

[ab2531]

Of course you can edit anything (it is called modding) but don't expect to be able to play multiplayer game with other players having the 2.4a after that. If you decide to publish your mod, please mention clearly that it is based on NHCmod 2.4a.

[xaff]

Look at this it is spectacular.
The donkey was the antitank one.

[Scar™]

It is always best to read the whole thread. (ancient chinese proverb...i think.)




hey ab2531, is the new Relic patch going to mess things up?

[ab2531]

I hope that no. There are normally only stat modifications for balance purpose (I don't agree with all the new changes) but no news units so I don't think it will cause any trouble to the mod.

[Scar™]

Good news. Thanks.

[helenchan]

Sorry for my word cause misunderstanding. I mean can I use Mod studio to mod disable AI produce Powell instead of using the old Dataattrib.zip file to do so? I am really like Powell setting, I don't want to lose those interesting features and settings.

Actually, I have played the game as versus normal AI...because I am not match to play RTS, my thinking is too slow. I have never played the game online with other players because I have nonconfidence. I like using Powell when I played allies, but I cannot defend him when I played axis, especially AI usually keep producing Powell that I hardly defeated him once. I think if AI can only produce Powell one time, or disable AI produce Powell, I would enjoy the game and the mod more.

[ab2531]

Yes you can use Corsix to modify the mod. Just edit immediately in the mod (click "open CoH mod" then select NHCToV.module). Go to the file attrib\attrib\sbps\races\allies\soldiers\Powell_squad.rgd
double click then on the right windows open the list and delete the "squad_ai_ext" and then save the file. The AI will no more be able to produce Powell.

[helenchan]

I cannot save the file because the error I mentioned in #377 appears again. The error message is exactly the same, "Error raised at .\src\frmRgdEdtitor.cpp line 393:".

[ab2531]

Create the folders \DataAttrib\attrib\ and \Data\ in the NHCToV folder.

[helenchan]

I can save after create folders! Thanks for your help!

[helenchan]

I have tried three heroes, Officer, Wilhelm Deinhard and SAS squad. All of them have interesting improvements, it's very great! Sorry that I cannot describe precisely, but I am really amazed those new skills! I should, but I have not try Powell yet. I must try it later.

Officer adds smoke skill, it really improves the defensive ability! It's crazy combine group with flammenwerfer team. Wilhelm Deinhard really shoots as sniper! It's impact and concrete! Besides, the focus snipe skill makes the setting perfect. What a ideal sniper! SAS squad adds mark target skill that greatly improve his support characteristic. I like produce a several of squads group together with SAS squad. Infrantries and light vehicles cannot hold them back! I really like all the stuffs in this v2.4a such as boy's AT rifle and other changes!Thanks for ab2531 and your team for creating this very best version!

[Frehelias]

You made me download NHC mod again with this huge new update.
I liked NHC mod but the fact there was no real development any more on it and so many bugs caused me to remove it.
But this new update brings it all back to live.
Quick question: does the combiner thing only work with Eastern Front or also with Blitzkrieg or any other mod?

Still the .bat launcher and the icon are really nasty. It looks so cheap and there is a better way of launching NHC mod.

[ab2531]

@helenchan: Thank you, and you have not even seen what was not ready for the 2.4a: Helifax Bomber, Drache helicopter, V2 rockets, Maxson M45D/M55, Opel with flak, crawling ability ...

@Frehelias: The combiner is for Eastern Front and Joint Ops. The Blitzkrieg mod changes too much things sorry. Oh and I wanted to launcher to be ridiculous not serious because it is not a serious mod. There are too many crazy things inside it.

Unfortunately, the Joint Ops mod is dead. You can still download my backup file of this awesome mod here: http://www.filefront.com/17675379/JointOps.zip/ I have lost their installer. (The rescue mission does not work with 2.4a I can send a fix If someone is interested)

[William Blake]

Hello gentlemen. ab2531, I want to ask you to increase the number of units in the units in Germany. The United States in units to 10 units, while in Germany for only 6-8. Themselves are ineffective against German infantry troops the U.S., they are very quick kill. Can somehow fix it? Establish a balance, so that teams have equal chances of winning. Many times we played with a friend, I played for Germany, he is for the U.S., the German infantry was dying literally from several rounds of infantry America. In other words, I beg to strengthen its capabilities and increase the number of units in the unit.
And at the expense of tanks "Tiger ". The cost of calling Tiger tank (standard tank tiger call is available by using the doctrine of blitzkrieg) require 1,000 personnel, while the Pershing tank requires only 900 personnel. The strength of these tanks are almost equal, and they might cost to equalize?
Watching the game computer experts often losing to Germany. In my opinion its units (especially infantry) are not strong enough. In infantry battles except for bearers of the cross resistance to the Americans to give no one can or it will require a lot of teams, but they were quickly killed.

[ab2531]

A little explanation is needed to see why there are fewer men in german squad in the original game:

US Riflemen stat:
HP=55
M1Garand damage=10
mean accuracy=(0.75*8+0.55*(17-8)+0.35*(35-17))/35=0.4928
(it means 49% of the bullets will hit on the average)
US sergent stat:
HP=55
M1Carbine damage=7
mean accuracy=(0.75*8+0.55*(17-8)+0.25*(35-17))/35=0.4414
total squad HP=6*55=330
total squad firepower=5*10+7=57
squad mean accuracy= (0.4928+0.4414)/2=0.4671
squad cost= 270

Axis Grenadier stat:
HP=80
K98 damage=15
mean accuracy=(0.85*8+0.7*(17-8)+0.5*(35-17))/35=0.6314
Axis Grenadier leader:
HP=80
mp44 single fire damage=15
mean accuracy=(0.8*8+0.6*(17-8)+0.5*(35-17))/35=0.5943
total squad HP=4*80=320
total squad firepower=4*15=60
squad mean accuracy= (0.6314+0.5943)/2=0.6128
squad cost= 300

So as you can see there a little more health in the the riflemen squad than in the grenadiers squad but to compensate that, the grenadiers squad has a better firepower and is more accurate. Note that I did not count fire rate and good or bad cover change drastically the accuracy.

Now about the Pershing and Tiger I:
Pershing stat:
HP=990
main gun damage=137.5
reinforce cost=800

Tiger stat:
HP=1064
main gun damage=137.5
reinforce cost=1000 (but you get a stormtrooper squad in bonus)

Yes, they look the same but with tank combat there is another factor called the "penetration" of the shells. The fact is that the armour of the Tiger is thicker than the Pershing's so the Tiger can last longer and the stormtrooper squad for only 200 is cheap.

In summary, I am not willing to change the original gameplay balance.

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

V2 Rockets? Bwahahahahahahaha! When? That would be awsome to see. Still would like to see the Strum Tiger, like the one in Europe at War mod or maybe Tiger 205's Elephant tank mod which looks awsome.
http://forums.relicnews.com/showthre...post1045180783
Still have not found any serious bugs which bug my "blow them all to heck" games, I guess I mostly just play to destroy my friends as they do me. Which makes this my fave mod!

[KaPaull]

In advance excuse, but whether it is possible to make in the new version mod function of switching-off of all heroes? My friends like this mod, but heroes strongly disturb.
Sorry for bad English.

Sorry for bad English.

Interesting idea. I know how to do that with the "award" menu from ToV but I don't think I want to do that. It would require some new pictures and I am not an artist.

[Frehelias]

I can try to make pictures but I'll need to know what files to edit or I can give you the pictures and you can add them to the mod.

[ab2531]

I can try to make pictures but I'll need to know what files to edit or I can give you the pictures and you can add them to the mod.

Hi Frehelias, there are a few things that need to be done before the next release. For Kapaull suggestion, I would need big picture of every available hero to put them in the award menu. For the new units that are ready but do not have icon or symbol: Flakpanzer 38(t), Elefant, 81mm MMC M21, Opel Blitz with 2cm Flak38, Halifax Badger Bomber.

If you are ready to do these things (or some part of it), I will send the beta version I am currently working on (Yeah, I am not hibernating until January ), so you can make screenshots and make icon and picture from them. You will of course get credits for all your works (but no money).

[KaPaull]

If necessary beta testing new version mod, I am ready to help at any time (even at night)

[Frehelias]

I know I won't get money and I don't need it for helping you out with this mod.
I'll try to make a reward unit picture and build symbols.

[ab2531]

MouahHAHA, I finally managed to plug a PS2 keyboard to this macbook pro and I can now make screenshots and play correctly!

Here are the things I have been implementing these days:

• Pershing ace with tank commander made by Halftrack:
  
  
• Opel Blitz with 2cm Flak38 made by eliw00d and DMZ:
  
  
• Flakpanzer 38(t) made by eliw00d and DMZ:
  
  
• Carpet Bombing ability from Halifax bombers (from the original game):
  
  
• Maxson M55 made by eliw00d and DMZ: (it has crew problems so it looks like an automated machine gun with movements detectors...)
  
  
• Elefant made by tiger205:
  
  
• fa223 Drache from Joint Ops mod:
  
  
• Logistics Officer from RC_realism mod:
  
  
• The M5 3inch AT gun made by Halftrack that replaces the 76mm AT
  

Do you want to test them?

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

Very nice indeed! Can't wait to try these out.
Would the Pershing ace have a level system like the voss tiger? Oh, and any chance to see what the v2 you mentioned would look like in game?:
Can't wait can't wait hehehehe! Count down to the "morning after" has begun. Nice to see you have been active still and answering all sorts of questions and bug issues.

[KaPaull]

Sorry, but I have died of pleasure.
This is a joke, where I can download new version?

[ab2531]

Sorry the V2 animation is not ready yet but I can show you the effect of the rocket.
Before V2:


After V2:



I will post the new beta very soon. Probably tomorrow.
@Kapaull: The expression "died of pleasure" is a little bit... strange. Is it a literal translation of a russian expression?

[Scar™]

Oooh! This is gonna be fun.

[KaPaull]

@ab2531

Ok, I will not joke it is more (yes this is Russian expression, but I am not assured that has translated correctly it)

[Grand Moff Tarkin]

Wow look at all those +2 pts hehehehe! My friends react like when I drop a V1 on them. Now that V2 makes a bigger mess, and I love it. Makes up for the British arty they smack me with. Love it almost as much as running my donkey right up to powel and hit the "don't touch this" button. I'll be ing around until this beta for sure.

[ab2531]

Love it almost as much as running my donkey right up to powel and hit the "don't touch this" button.

LOL, I have never use this method to kill Powell

Seriously speaking, I am very sorry to disappoint you, Grand Moff Tarkin, but the V2 won't be in the open beta because it's still in development (price=0, no requirement, the rocket is not pointing in the right direction and is a little bit too overpowered). If there is any 3D artist passing by, it would help alot.

----------

[Bink]

Awesome job ab2531, will give this a test drive tonight and edit in this post, my initial observations. The only issue I've come across lately (having played 2.2. & 2.4 now) is when playing allies. I hope you'll figure out a way to give them the donkey artillery unit, or allow a couple extra support units (Calliope/Priest) regardless of doctrine choices if not the donkey. I was thinking as well, the Churchill AVRE mortar thing could do with a range increase perhaps. Kudos on the allied AA unit, its hard to nab those Henchels.

Balance-wise, I would say its harder to play U.S. or Brit but I play them anyway cause I like the toys you've given them so far (again, thus far only having observed 2.2 & 2.4 at this point). On the supply truck, I was wondering if you have room left to add loran korn's portable .30 cal to the U.S. truck and the MG34 to the german's truck? Could help with the hero problems if any, plus its always fun to test drive new toys.

[KaPaull]

1) Where team M55 ???


2) Bombers don't have sound

A question,¿could someone explain the steps necessary to combine this mod with ef?,thanks happy new year.

A question,¿could someone explain the steps necessary to combine this mod with ef?,thanks happy new year.

READ THE README:

The "combiner mod" allows you to play "Company of Heroes: Eastern Front" with "NHCmod" at the same time.
You need to download both "NHCmod ToV" and the latest "Company of Heroes: Eastern Front" to use the combiner mod.
To start the combiner mod, click on "Combiner.bat". It will automatically load both mod and mix them.
The Eastern Front mod is available here:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/coheastern-front/downloads
(It is a very big mod so it is highly recommended to defrag your disk after installation)
If you don't have both mod, the game will crash. Note that the Combiner gives priority to Eastern Front. So every features of
Eastern front are present with the combiner some part of the NHCmod are missing (e.g. Light tank cannot crush infantry in the combiner mod)
The combiner also support the Joint Ops mod which can be downloaded here:
http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/c...mod/32324.html (with installer)
http://www.filefront.com/17675379/JointOps.zip/ (without installer)

@Bink: The Priest is already available to any US company. I have tried to add loran korn's weapons but it ended in failure with any model I tried to add so I gave up.

[Frehelias]

I'll make the required pictures and all in 2011.
Don't got enough time today.
Would be nice if we could include them with the coming patch.

BTW can't you use the vehicle icons made by Xalibur?
I'll ask him if he's okay with it.

[ab2531]

I don't know what icon you are talking about.
