IRGC

Oh my God where have you been all this time I'm downloading now I guess I will love your mod good work

what's that donkey?

ab2531

to IRGC : The donkey is The Eselschreck: a very special unit that Relic has created... And I was in Belgium (and I am still there)

to Celéstial: The Panzer IV was already in the PE but unused by Relic and to change the crew, you just need to change the crew_ext inside the ebps file:
Change the animator_bp from each role_xx
from Races\Commonwealth\Soldiers\Tommy
to Races\Allies\Soldiers\VehicleCrew

IRGC

I have some suggestions for your mod
1.increase damages for all weapons
2.change the description for new units they are not good currently
3.remove that donkey immediately!this is not a comedy game
4.find some new icons and portaits for your mod (I think you can find them here some people create them)
5.the mg42 hmg gunner skin doesn't have feet when they crouch you will notice it
6.nice job

ab2531

About your suggestion:
1) I did that in my previous version before OF but every time that Relic made a new patch, I had to redo everything again and again, so I won't touch this even if I think that the damage and the accuracy are unrealistic. (Look at these engineers... even at 1 meter from their target they miss it...) I will only maybe change the damage of the machine guns.
2) Hum... it's true that some descriptions need to be updated. Unfortunately I only test my mod with my French version of CoH so I don't immediately see what's wrong with my descriptions in French. Sometimes I forget to translate some of them or put something completely stupid. Can you list me all the text that need to be fixed?
3)NO. You don't have to click on this icon. I only use this donkey when I am going to die for sure for my last stand. I know it is completely useless but I won't delete it from my mod.
4) Sure I need to make some icons and portraits but for which unit? I managed to use icon that look approximately like what I wanted. Can you give me the name of some people that can create pretty icon and portrait? I don't create it myself because I hate to draw with a mouse.
5) I checked it and DAMN IT! you were right. I have deleted the skin and now I need a new one.
6) Thank you

ab2531

Its turret wasn't rotating because it had no weapon!
I have just added an improved copy of the original Panzer IV weapon.

IRGC

thanks you are better than most modders in understaning their mod's problems but that donkey makes the game crash and something else when I sent a squad of glider commandos and planted an explosice charge I saw an explosion like a V1 my commandos died bot nothing else got damaged what's the problem
most of your new units need new descriptions and I suggest you don't give US the british weapons and brits the US weapons I mean the small arms
hitler jagund are nonesense I think you should make them like volks but bigger squads like 15 people they need new skins too random weapons isn't a good Idea a hitler youth can't be a 40 yrs old knight cross holder
I hope you fix these little problems

ab2531

I don't understand how the donkey could crash the game since the AI will never build it... I know that my mod crash on some map for unknown reason, but works perfectly on others. Why?? It is a good question...

AArgh the bug of the V1, I completely forgot to note it and so to fix it....It is a good thing that you talked about it.
EDIT: The only bug I remember was that I added the old ability so the Axis could launch 2 V1...hum that's strange.

With the HitlerJugend, do you know how to change the scale of the models? I know how to do that in Dow but not in CoH.

You are talking about the supply truck? Except that I didn't give any British weapon to US soldier or vice-versa?

IRGC

yes I mean supplytruck
and I'm not a modder you can ask in the forum in how to's section
the AI doesn't build it I built it and game crashed
I suggest you make a new Icon for new units and new skings too for new ones like hitler youth they must be young as I said

you should ask for people's help in the forum I think halftrack is one of the best skinners and also the guy who created the historical skin mod is a good skinner ask them to help you
and finaly thanks

ab2531

The Supply Truck crashes??? How is this possible? I always use them. The AI never build them and I made that on purpose, because If you allow them to build it, they never stop to build it until they reach the max population.

bwc153

LOL, they do this because it gives them extra resources, making them greedy... right?

i think he was referring to the eselshreck crashing the game.

Celéstial

THe supply truck doesn't give extra recources (I thought) but you can build heavy weapons with them, and they wll drop them next to the truck.

IRGC

I didn't mean supply truck crashes I meant supply truck gives us britsh guns and gives brits american guns
but that donkey crashes the game

ab2531

The Truck gives some extra resources (Check your income of fuel, ammunition and manpower or the modifier_apply_ext in the ebps file)
British troops didn't mind to use US weaponry like the Stuart, Sherman, bazooka,...

I have checked the V1, in fact Relic made it that way, it can cause severe damage in a radius of 10 meters but above the damages are incredibly small, no damage above 20 meters. To give you an idea, a squad can see up to 40 meters, so it was not my fault but I have changed the weapon to be more realistic.

ab2531

Does someone knows how to change or delete a poll?

ab2531

The new version 1.1 is now out:

http://files.filefront.com/NHCOF+v1...;/fileinfo.html

Celéstial

Which skin are you using for the Stuart? I like it.

And how did you get the supply truck drops the weapons? give me a tut.

ab2531

Skin: personal skin
Supply truck: look at its abilities.

lilmat1

This looks...well sounds really good, glad I saw this.
Will have to look at this mod!

And chat with RGB, he is the guy to see about changing icons and portraits.

ab2531

mmh... yes
Don't forget about giving me credits and the link to your mod.

Celéstial

yeah of course I give you credit.




???

ab2531

Can I have a look to your mod?

Celéstial

follow my signature.
Also, the v1.04 isn't that big, the next upcoming version one is alot bigger.

Husky42

So I like the mod, but i hate the stupid donkey. If i remove the Eselschreck rgd's, deleted the entry in the ucs i should be able to remove them right?

Only thing i can forsee is i may get the option to build thems till, so i need to take these out of the abilities area right?

I dont know much about COH modding but if i could be told how to take it out on my own that would be great. Thanks!

ab2531

If you just delete the ability, I think it may crash the game. If you know a little bit about modding you can modify the files in racebps and axis_infantry_company.rgd and axis_panzer_elite.rgd with Corsis to delete the Ezelshreck from the commander ability.

Husky42

I just left it be. One thing, the priest on the allies, i build it but it is invisible??

ab2531

How could it be? hum...
I suppose you messed with my mod by blending it with others.

Husky42

I have made several changes to your mod, but in the vanilla version of your mod i still had the issue. I just rewrote the priest files and now they work.

Something corrupted on install i suppose.

Tucker004

I highly recommend the creator of the Historical Skin Mod for skins, he does great work!

ab2531

New version NHCmod 1.2 released.

ab2531

New version NHCmod OF v1.3 released. It contains several new units:
6 pounder AT gun, Firefly Ace, Pershing Ace, 76 mm AT gun, Bunker with 88mm Pak 43, Nashorn...

Celéstial

Looks good my friend! May I use some of your unit icons/portraits/symbols?

Just one thing, the Bren carrier with the HMG loaded looks somewhat... uhm.... ridiculous.

ab2531

You can pick some icons and symbols, but don't forget to give credits to the respective authors. The Panterturm and mortar bunker icon are from LethalDosage. The skin come from georider and the rest are just modified icon from me.

LloydyBoy

ab2531 heres some suggestions for NHC 1.4 for the supply truck if u find the RGM include the sten for the british and/or the silenced sten and if u can include some maps lets face it ppl are tired of the classic COH MP and skirmish maps and if u can again include panther buildable for the PE and firefly for the US ohh and the wehr should also get the Ostwind a upgrade to a Wirblewind hoped i helpped in some sort of way thx

ab2531

There are a lot of good maps on the net, download and try them. I am not a mapper just a modder. It is possible to add the sten to the supply truck but as you can see there aren't any more empty room to add a weapon to the british supply truck.

Buildable panther is ok, not a bad idea, easy to do. I don't think it would improve the whermacht if I add the Wirblewind to them. The Ostwind is more effective against infantry and light vehicles.

LloydyBoy

well there just suggetions and the supply truck well u could create a seperate truck for the british and put other weapons u could put in the bren, recoiless rifle, thompson, sten and a mod has the No.4 mk1 lee enfield and maybe the slienced sten, it would be funny for the rifle section to have a slienced sten or powell with a silenced sten . again its a suggetion . also is it possible to put in a MP40 for the german supply truck in exchange for the morter becasue not many ppl use the morter and plus ppl always wanted to have MP40s for the greinaders but instead all they could have is the Mp44 and the MG42 and panzershreck (plus what happed to the unarmed panzerfaust man once u give one of your men a panzerfaust form the truck) that was really affective also the ostwind- wiblewind upgrade when ppl got the mod they made airborne blobs with recoiless rifles and the ostwind was destoyed within a matter of minites with the wirblewind upgrade they could kill them more affectivly plus if you could you could have it so it suppress the infantry donw like a tank shock but better

ab2531

MP40 is a good idea, I take note of it.
Powell does not need a sten, he has his thomson. I have deleted the panzerfaust from the supply a long time ago because after the first shoot, the rocket is fire from nowhere without animation.

LloydyBoy

okay i know about Powell with his tompson but with the supply trucks ya'know ppl can customise Powell ppl over the years with Lt. Powelll have givern him the weapons from the supply truck ppl have givern him M9 bazzoka, BAR etc with out his upgrade and i'm not sayin you have to but give him choice of weapons from the supply trucks

also have you considered doctrinable realism EG US Airborne doctrne gifes you access to only airborne men like no more rifle men just airborne and airborne HMG and morter sniper etc

ab2531

A last version of my mod before the upcoming of Tales of Valor in April has been released:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/nhcmod/do...s/nhcmod-of-v14

LloydyBoy

very nice good job mate thx for the MP40 and the Flame bren
are u planing to do more NHC mods for Tales Of Valor

ab2531

Of course, but I will have to buy Tales of Valor first, then finish it and after that I am going to mod it.

LloydyBoy

i found a bug in the game the other day

when u recover a destoyed schwiminwagen with a bergetiger a yellow box comes up saying "missing LUA let there be panic" and take the place of the schwimminwagen and the veicle is not recovered

The bug with the Schwimmwagen is my bad... I know how to fix it.
But about the jeep and the riflemen I don't know what can cause that, it is maybe the camera. Does this ALSO happen when you put the graphics on max?

Lethal Dosage

Is the problem because the jeep has no crew, or because it has a very low opinion of EA Games?

If it's the former, it's probably either because it has no crew assigned or a bad mixed model, if it's the latter, wll i don't see the problem. :P

ab2531

The problem is that I haven't change the model of the jeep or the riflemen. I use the original model and I didn't touch the crew. And worst of all, it works fine on my computer.

Thanks for trying to help Lethal Dosage.
(I don't get the joke with EA Games)

LloydyBoy

well the Riflemen and the jeep has been fixed it was my PC, (my bad) how i found out was i went on another game and found that the riflemen and jeep was fixed. hope the schimmingwagen thing tho is fixed in the next patch.

@Lethal dosage
i dont get the joke either.
