[Celution]

Alright fellas, it is finaly here:

Back to Basics: Battle of the Hedges v1.11


Download is at first post. I should make a changelog from now on, will try to keep that in mind...

[huetti07]

wow, nice, did you include my german ucs-file?

[Celution]

Yes, but you need to add some stuff.

[Gamerisin]

great so see this new update available for download,thx a lot @Celéstial!!!

[huetti07]

Do you know, what has changed, just in general

[remco100]

download link doesn't work

[Celution]

Works good for me. Maybe refresh your internetp page.

[Lt.Moore]

The bow and co-axial MGs for the German tanks do not have sound.

[LloydyBoy]

and 1 Soldier in a Infantry Section for the British doesnt have a gun

he still has his arms in the shape of a gun but nothing is there

and the german AI is alot stronger from British and American
1 match with me as american, the AI just spammed Rifle platoons and took them over to my base
eventually they built a Motor pool and moved to another spot and spammed there, towards the end the germans had 5 stugs 4 Sdkfz 234s and loads of Grenadiers while the US AI was struggling to keep up with the mass production of Stugs Armored cars and others

and the German AI is also bugged
had a match and all the Germans did was Spam Snipers, there was 1 skirmish where my Recon Element was instanly killed by 5 Spread out Snipers

[Celution]

Known issue, I am trying to fix it.

Also a known issue, Don't know how that happened, but it is fixed.

I'm logging that, and I will let AGameAnx know.

[Celution]

Okay guys, Hotfix v1.11.2!

Download it at first post, and the changelog here:

• Jagdtiger penetration table fixed, it had 1x multiplier against all vehicles, so it could not kill shit.
• Infantry Section Invisible Sten SMG fixed.
• Axis tanks hull and coaxial MG sounds fixed.

[huetti07]

I will translate the few things in German, and then I will give you a link to it

[Celution]

That would be nice.

[BazzBrother]

so....this is basically Normandy 44? I dont mean to offend, its just that I havent played in years and the last mod that I played was one just like this one >.>

[arbituh101]

mines wont launch the shortcut says it cant find reliccoh.exe and honestly, i cant find it either and BTW i have opposing fronts on steam and tales of valor and the first COH on cd

[Celution]

so....this is basically Normandy 44? I dont mean to offend, its just that I havent played in years and the last mod that I played was one just like this one >.>

How dare you! This is nothing like N44, this mod keeps the vCoH feeling and gameplay. Not like N44 and BK enormous amounts of new units, abilities and shit. This is way better IMO.
Don't ever call BtB:BotH the same as N44 or BK.


@Arbituh101: Just use the shortcut that comes with Back to Basics Battle of the Hedges v1.11.rar.

[Pierre70]

I'm getting an error when extracting the rar file. I've downloaded it twice and get the same error. It tells me that the file:

Back to Basics Battle of the Hedges v1.11.rar\Improved\Data\art\models\races\commonwealth\soldiers\weapons\boys_at_rifle\model\boys_at_rifle_diff.rgt

Is corrupt/broken. I've tried 7-zip and winrar to no avail.

Are there any mirrors other than filefront I could try? The download speed there is pretty poor. Maybe this would also solve my problem.

arbituh 101: If you've got a default steam installation then your shortcut should read:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -mod Improved -dev

[Celution]

Yea, FF is failing lately, but just ignore the corrupted file. It won't affect the game I guess.

[huetti07]

The M18 -Call-In only gets available, after building Tank Depot
What is the Radio Man for? only for calling in a recon plane and in Armour doc the T17?
I would take out the Radio Man of the normal Rifle men squads

[Celution]

The Radio Operator can do the following:

As a standard, it can call in air recon.

Infantry Doctrine

• Off-map artillery, when unlocked.

Airborne Doctrine

• Stafing and Bombing Run, when unlocked.

Armor Doctrine

• T17 reinforcement, when unlocked.

[BazzBrother]

:P well ok, I guess ill try it out when I get the chance.

btw, I read BtB:BotH as "Back to Basics: Battle of the Hulk". I dont know why, maybe you need something more catchy than "hedges"

How is it better if N44 had way more units XD Im guessing since you said the feel will still be like vCoH then the fighting will be on a smaller scale then? (not as frustrating with the easily killed units?)

[mcdimm]

Just downloaded and tested today.
First impression, it's so comfortable playing with your mod..no "too much" thing so far.

I found blue cube of missing RGM in US M4 Sherman though. (see attachment)

*used with TOV 2.601

[Celution]

Try reinstalling the mod, because I checked the .rar file and all files are OK.

[LloydyBoy]

i like the idea of giving the Engineers (US) a Thompson for close Quarters Action, do you think you could do the same for All factions except different Weapons

also are the Commandoes supposed to have 1 Bren 2 lee Enfields and 2 Silenced Stens and 1 Thompson, it'd make much more sence if they were Regular Stens not silenced

[Celution]

Yeah, that is intended. Because Commandos just ate every single infantry squad with 6 stens, and I like different weapons.

We are planning to add more things to the KampfKraft Centre, we just lack inspiration xD.

[LloydyBoy]

xD lol i didnt quite mean like that, sorry i should of explained in more Detail

the Commandoes are basicly Paratroopers i love the idea of adding different weapons adds a little more Realism, but why exactly 2 Silenced Stens they have 4 Loud Weapons but 2 Silenced weapons, it would be very easy and make more sence if they have Regular Stens

[Celution]

Cos I am too lazy to implement the unsilenced Sten that has been made by the community.

[huetti07]

The leutnant already has an unsilenced Sten

[Celution]

It does? I never added that model... Maybe the sound...

[huetti07]

I thought, that he has one, in vanilla

[Celution]

Nope, the Relic only made the Silenced one.

[Lt.Moore]

Yeah, the Leftenant in vCoH has an unsupressed Sten.

[mcdimm]

sorry for asking..but..
is it a bug, or is it just me who felt the ai is way too passive?

[Lt.Moore]

If anything, they're too aggressive.

[maciag]

I am geting constant crashes while launching game, after loading map. I can only play on 1 vs 1 maps

[Celution]

That must be your computer mate, v1.11 never crashed for me while launching.

[BazzBrother]

I downloaded it, extracted all the files into the CoH directory, and when I start up with the provided shortcut for BtB, all of the words become $###### No Range.

wut?

[huetti07]

I depends on your localized CoH version...

BtB has three languages:

German
English
Polish

Here is the link for the new German UCS.
I also ironed out some older mistakes but I think there must be one at the American docs, but I didnt found it

PS: I don't want to be annoying and don't take me wrong, but where are my credits?

[mcdimm]

I'm new to this, but just wondering is it possible or how to change unit's name in coh? I'm thinking more "german" names for german units. See for example, changing german "sniper" to "scharfschutze" ?

for mr.Celestial Do you have something in mind for the upcoming next version?

[Celution]

PS: I don't want to be annoying and don't take me wrong, but where are my credits?

Oh snap! I totally forgot that, I am so sorry mate, you are in the credits now.

@BazzBrother: What language of CoH do you have? And, what version of CoH.

Do you have something in mind for the upcoming next version?

Hmm, some nice things...

[huetti07]

thx

[maciag]

nice thx for credits!!!

[Pocktio]

Harro, your shortcut doesn't work on Steam versions as it looks for RelicCOH.exe in the non-steam directory.

Is there a launch parameter addition I can use to launch the mod?

[Aidas2]

To use with steam do this: "G:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\company of heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -applaunch 9340 -mod RmMod -dev
Change RmMod to your mod directory name.

[BazzBrother]

I have the english version of CoH, with the latest patch

[Celution]

Hmm, try reinstalling the mod, maybe there was something messed up when extracting.

[kboucher]

Can anyone help me, I just installed this mod but the white circles that appear around the selected units are not there, any suggestions on how to get them back?

[Gamerisin]

you mean the color circles depending on the team you're playing,this is ok,this is supposed to happen,in fact I think the units looks much better without them

[Celution]

Yes, those were removed by purpose, so were all Teamcolour related stuff.

[Opie]

wie kann ich es spielen?
