Has anybody tried this setting? I found it made textures hilighted by the sun almost blinding bright on my Nvida 230. Curious if anybody else tried it with favourable results.
-
Hmm, I didn't do anything special on my Vista and the Mission Generator played OK....
lucky you. Depending on security settings and whether one is logged as admin or user.( 64 bit is worse for this tho)
When running a new exe for the first time right click run as adm. Also check the battle file in the mission folder mine was padlocked:confused:.
you should only have to do this once it seems
-
sorry if I am stating the obvious but is your vista set for full administrator rights for the generator .exe file. and maybe even the mission file itself? I had this happen too, and allowed adm control to both the mission file and generator, seemed to resolve it.

Absolutely this strategic campaign concept would raise the bar. It really has not been done in the 3D game world since Medeval Total war.
Two things could make TOW X reign supreme and that is the strategic campaign concept and a polished improved version of the quick battle generator.
I for one will be getting AP K43 if made commercially accessable, and ofcourse TOW2K. Always room for 2 games.

This map is completely divided in half by reservoir and canal. The only way across is by the 2 bridges and 1 foot bridge.
TOW2 objects are limited to portrait a built up area and canal bridges compared to the european theatre. But at least we can enter the buildings and bunkers. Might be fun for multi player. Thanks for the bridge Mod
-
I assume this forum is for TOW2 modding? Anyways....
I am having a problem modding an existing map. Certain areas I have changed are red for path finding. I tried the recalc pathfinding cells and recal and save option. No change
Is there a way to actually recalculate pathfining to default without worrying about looking for cells that were user defined?
-
Other than the balance mod, and JSH for TOW 1, there seem to be no other mods available for this game. With the editor packaged with TOW 2, an Italian expansion - anyone know why there are so few mods available?
Is there a mod installation tool that works without disturbing other installed mods?
Part of the problems with mods for the TOW series is that if they involve a new unit, or new object, weapon etc, then various database files require to have a simple text edit update. Simply adding a new file from the modder doesn't work as it wipes out the pointers for the other mods.
-
Is the map maker and scenario scripting compiler going to be made available with this game, as it was for TOW 1?
If so, are these very familar in their appearance and mechnics to TOW 1 or is there a new learning curve
-
Knokke Knokke.....I tried your Spree Bort. One thing, I noticed objects and units sink through to the ground. Is this typical or is there some way to adjust the Z axis?
Thanks and I like the new objects and map templates you added to the game.
-
Actually this was just an exercise at taming the Terrain plane tool as clunky as it is, its still possible to shave the terrain to form a canal complete with the water rise retaining wall (that doesn't fall over) as might be seen in the Alte Stadt.
I quickly threw in some buildings to give it depth. I always wanted a built up area bridge fight. For ease of pathing I had to use a double tandem bridge which works.
Is the new Kursk game complete with map maker utility? And is it similar to TOW 1? Sure would look forward to an old city bridge canal fight.
-
Partisans can be added by using the mission editor.
But can't be accessed by the quick battle generator for some reason.
-
Why the quotation marks?
I think he left out detachment in the path
error at line "4039 data/units/romanian/romania_solder_summer
-
its pathing maybe can't locate what its pointing at, a detachment for selection menu
4039 data/units/"detachment"/romanian/romania_solder_summer
-
the number should be OK at 4039 right after the sdkfz_231.
The filesid.ini must be continous without any spaces. Did you skip a blank line?
-
You'll need to put the new skins in
C:\Program Files\.......\Theatre of War\models\Human
Then you'll have to add ini text files for each nation's squad within the Data folder. You can cut and paste alot of it from the existing german units for romanians and brit for canadians. for example create:
C:\Program Files\...........\Theatre of War\data\units\human\Romanian\Rom_infantry\parts.ini
the parts ini will have the make up of the squads and their gear which as I said you can use the gear in the game already.
text will have to be added to the Filesid.ini
Units.utf8 identifying the new squad or unit as well.
Its not hard as it sounds, mostly folder creation, renaming and cutting pasting text files. Its just a matter of looking at what's in the data folder.
The best approach is to create 1 new nation, with 1 new squad element and its new skin. Get it to work then go for the big project.
-
Thankyou, Awesome mod!!! keeping the game alive.

......should also mention the bit of code above takes into account "what if" the truck is hit before the dismount command. Hence the "Else" command tells the squad that survive the truck being blowed up to line up and storm a rec.
As long as the troops are mounted the else command cannot be executed by the squad.
-
Here's a script I used in blunted spear. It takes a squad: group 4: loads them in a truck: unit 81,
Then truck, which is also known as: group 7, moves to point 3 and dismounts all at 20m or less.
Then squad: group 4, lines up and storms the rec infront of them.
Note the syntax, and especially note some commands respond to the unit identifier and other commands work with the group identifier.

link to old thread about extractor

Its true the mod is automatically pathed for the Battlefront version. Extract the exe from rar and 2 clicks done! Auto installed.
However the exe can be renamed to Zip and manually extracted. Dropping folders to the Tow root as knokke correctly stated above.
-
Looks great. If you do create this, the squad data can be easily revamped to historically sprinkle these in correct ratio for all US squads, and vehicle crewman.
I hope you do it.
If it makes it easier to model, the bayonet lug is not required.

Hi,... need a little help here,... i alrdy download this SS camo but seems no change at all.. can u guide me how & where should i extract to which tow folder?... is it in main tow folder or Ai or something?...
currently right now im using JSH 1.3.2 patch...
many thanks..
Go back to the GAJ site and download the Late War SScamo mod . (what you have is just the skin from an earlier mod.)
There are 21 files in 2 folders. Lucky for you It is an auto execute zip file embedded in a RAR file so you only need to extract anywhere (desktop) and click on the exe file and choose unzip.
I also include a text file for manual instructions.
-
nikki,
Any updates on this?
I'll probably use an auto execute zip file imbeded in a RAR file. That way people can let the files load the default path rather than manually drop 20 folders.
Its true everytime a new unit is created as a mod a line has to be added to the id text files, so including all previous data should make any mod compatable with other existing mods. Still testing amd will re-release shortly.
Incidently I just loaded a rather simple mod that changes ALL latewar SS infantry from the pea capped uniform to a blended green oak patterm helmet and smock. This can be found on the GAJ site.
I'm done with this sim
in Theatre of War 2 : Kursk 1943

I'm wondering if there's an optimization problem going on here with certain OS versions or hardware.
I have a way lesser system in all aspects than the specs you provided above and it does run clean for me. Pity they don't do more testing to iron that out.
