[senseo1990]

Hm you shouldnt use an online translator for your mod description =)

Lass dir den deutschen mod-text lieber von irgendwem übersetzen =)

[darknes1990]

Sorry mod don't working

[Martinlegend]

then youve done a mistake

it works

[darknes1990]

i put this D:\CoH\RelicCOH.exe -dev -nomovies -mod Westfront and dont work

[Martinlegend]

you need this

Target:
"C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -mod westfront-dev

[Celution]

C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -mod westfront -dev
It should be this.

Anyway, nice concept.

[Martinlegend]

thanks Celestial

[Chopin]

Hey,i 'm interested in this mod but i can't download it from your DL site.is there any other site i can get this mod downloaded? =)

[srhim]

sucks, I can't download it too.

[Martinlegend]

the dl is below on the right

[W4lt3r]

Sounds interesting, I'll give this a go.

[Martinlegend]

a example for the cap limit

Tiger: 4
Panther: 4
Panzer IV: 2x6 (2 versions with and without shields)

Shermans: 16
Cromwell: 8

so the german have the powerful Tanks but not enough to handle the whole "Wave" of allied Tanks and Aircrafts

german tanks have a long time to produce and for the allied tanks its short
(Tiger: 60 Sec. - Sherman: 45 Sec. - Cromwell: 45 Sec.)

the german tanks are very expensive and the allied tanks are cheap
Tiger: Fuel:180 Manpower 900
Sheman: Fuel:50 manpower 450
Cromwell Fuel:55 manpower:380

[Jagdpanther]

The limitation is a good compromise between gameplay and reality. I hope the damage/penetration values also adjusted to reflect this. In reality this ralation was on the westfront 1:10 so you need here ca. 1:4.

[Gamerisin]

@19.PzGrDiv...hi there,nice to see you posted your mod here,I already played it a while ago,I downloaded it from the german forums and I really like it,keep up the good work

[Martinlegend]

the damage system is the same as BK
(with some changes)

[Jagdpanther]

Then I think it fits. Will try it.

Shame, that the PE side is so underpowered in tanks, more or less only Beute-Panzer, no Tiger, no Panther, but a huge amount of infantry.

I can't play Wehrmacht, so it's more an infantry battle for me.

[Moto24]

I get allot of "No Range" on buildings and abilities buttons and there are many duplicate buttons like building sandbags.

There are some abilities that are in black and white but I can't select them, I can't tell if those are to be upgraded or they just don't work, like with the Captain.

[Martinlegend]

tha "captain" was a logistic officer

the buttons are to turn off/on to get more ressources

and theres no duplicate buttons by the Sandbags
there are no icons for "sandbag end"
So i just take the normal one for this

[nasirkasmani]

i hope there will be an update to fix the numerous "No Range" entries.

otherwise, an interesting mod

[F22Raptor]

Well, i think it´s a good mod but not the best mod i have played

[-250 wh div-]

very good mod,but need better allied ai,thanks.

[Martinlegend]

i know the AI isn the best one but i asked some Members to help me or to tell how to modify the AI

but no one answers

[Bink]

You should talk to sweeten, his AI material has gone into a couple mods so far (maybe more, I don't know).

[Martinlegend]

sweeten is one of the persons i asked

[sturmmacht]

Good looking mod, but an english .ucs file and locale folder would definitely make it even better... (at least for those with an english install of CoH). As it is, almost every unit and structure is missing a title and description as a result...

[Angelic]

I like the First picture, do you mind and make a little album just for show or do i need to take pictures myself witch i dont mind :P

[Celution]

That is actually a very nice screenshot, but the taskbar ruins it....

[Martinlegend]

*first picture deleted

and waht about this? (its not the first one but i think is cool too)

(i have alot of pictures like this but i cant show all here)

[Martinlegend]

a little update:
the german bunkers (from the 19th and the 12. )
will be replaced by a MG42 emplacement
and the forward Basic support will replaced by a sani station



and im working on the doctrin to make them a little bit bigger (3x3)

[Martinlegend]

Then I think it fits. Will try it.

Shame, that the PE side is so underpowered in tanks, more or less only Beute-Panzer, no Tiger, no Panther, but a huge amount of infantry.

I can't play Wehrmacht, so it's more an infantry battle for me.

if i would get more Skins for captured Vehicles i would take it into the mod

but these kind of skins are very rare i think

[Gamerisin]

@19.PzGrDiv...that screenshot is awesome!!! nice work

[Martinlegend]

small update

i compine the Sherman 105 with the sherman Bulldozer and this comes out:


the will be 3
and the howitzer can only shoot if the tank isnt moving
(it will be available in the infantry Doctrin)

[F22Raptor]

nice

[sweeten2213]

sweeten is one of the persons i asked

I don't recall telling you no, 19.Pz. I think I said I would help, but ATM I more than have my hands full.

You have 100% permission to grab my ai from N44 or any other mod that uses it and work with it. But if you waiting for me to redo it to specifically fit your mod, I simply don't have the time right now (as you can see from Loran's thread and my own thread).

And as far as teaching you, I could also try to do that - but that is a difficult task. My suggestion (if you know something about lua code - if you don't, considering 98% of it is lua code, you might have some difficulties) is to look at some version of my ai and learn from it. I learned how to do the AI by looking at Warnstaff's code, looking at Capt Combat's code, and looking at Uberbugz code, and figuring out how it worked based on what they did.

[Martinlegend]

ok thanks for this

[Celution]

[Martinlegend]

small update
for the 12. FjDiv.

the Nebelwerfer Emplacement

[Celution]

Glad you got it working.

[Ninja117]

That looks lovely mate, keep up the good work

[col.sanders]

Well done mod, good balancing, though the pe/fallschirmjager could use more work (panzer jager and panzer support kommands look so empty). And it would help a lot to add a proper english ucs locale file.
Sometimes when the enemy is close to a trench or building your troops occupy , it would help if units inside a shelter(bunker/structure/trench, etc.), can throw a grenade out or fire a panzerfaust out of it.
And another well done on the trench size and repair(love it), though it has more potential if there were more than just 2 unit slots in a trench that can fit up to 12 people.

[Martinlegend]

the panzergrenadiers can fire a panzerfaust out of a building if a tank is close enough to it

the Fallshirmjägernt cant do it yet but ill fix that

the 12. Fj Division will not have many vehicles to prduce but i try to make some Call-in Abilitys for the doctrin

(the Grille will be available in the middle Doctrin as a call-in. Limit: 2)

[Martinlegend]

Today i will release version 1.11 of the Westfront mod

[Gamerisin]

hi there,are you gonna include an english ucs.???
I mean,I played your mod a while ago 'cause I downloaded from the German forums but I just want to know if u'll make translations

Thx in advance.

[Martinlegend]

ill make translations if its final

sry but im only one guy

[Nurbsico]

19.PzGrDiv,

You also sent me a PM regarding the AI as well. But your question was almost impossible to answer. Sure, I understand english may not be your first language, but you've got to do better when asking a question as complex as dealing with the AI.

Now I've got a question for you... Do you want your mod to be playable online or not? My AI skills are focused on offline skirmish play that uses a lot of SCAR code. Chances are, this won't work so well with online play at all. In fact, I've restructured/incorporated many of the SCAR based functions that normally aren't allowed in the AI scripts at all. I hate to say it, but sometimes getting the AI to do what you want requires the SCAR code. No way around it.

I can help you with offline skirmish play if you want, but that's about it. Online play isn't my concern.

[Martinlegend]

yes i mean offline

[Martinlegend]

Version 1.12 is now available
(a fixed version of 1.11 with:
a new doctrin ability (Kommandotiger can now call in offmap artillery strike)
new icon
and some other changes)
