Yes, his "Could You Please Oblige Us With a Bren Gun" song with a few Al Bowly and George Formby songs works. Don't forget "Panzerlied", a little Marlene Dietrich and Mel Brooks' "Springtime For Hitler" for the German campaign....

One thing I like about ToW2 is the option of adding music. I don't really recommend it when playing "seriously", but it's nice when replaying a mission or for a casual game to add some "epic" atmosphere to your Theatre of War Soundtracks that work well (in no particular order) are: The 13th Warrior - Jerry Goldsmith ('Old Bagdad' is my ToW2 main menu music) Von Ryan's Express - Jerry Goldsmith Patton - Jerry Goldsmith The Mummy - Jerry Goldsmith Beowulf - Alan Silvestri Van Helsing - Alan Silvestri Kingdom of Heaven - Harry Gregson Williams 300 - Tyler Bates Gladiator - Hans Zimmer Raiders of the Lost Ark - John Williams Valkyrie - John Ottman (not the best album but a couple of tracks are ok) BTW I didn't add the entire albums, just a few choice tracks. You get the idea. So, did I miss any good ones? What music did YOU add? (In case anyone missed it, you create a folder called 'music' in your ToW2 root directory, then another two folders inside it called 'game' and 'menu'. You can then drag & drop your mp3's in those folders as you see fit; and don't forget to define a key to skip to the next music track in the options.) Oh and thanks to Battlefront for making this great game!

Oops, sorry. I just checked my HOSTS file and narod.ru was in there! ahem Strange though, I was sure I had downloaded a file from there once before, oh well, my mistake. Thanks very much for uploading the mod. Excellent job!

Thanks eniced73 for the detailed explanation Unfortunately, it's a moot point... I already said back in post #41 that the narod.ru link doesn't work. It's 404. At least for me it is.

Are you saying that people need to install "YandexBar" to download the mod?? I'm sorry but if that's the case then forget it, there's no way I'm doing that.

Thanks anyway Sneaksie, but the link doesn't work! You have balance_mod129.exe?? Please, could you (or anybody who has it) be so kind as to re-upload it somewhere (rapidshare, megaupload, filefront, etc.) as I have been attempting to get this file for several days now with no luck. Thanks!

Thanks for the mod, but there seems some unnecessary confusion. The file available for download at the link specified says "BALANCE MOD ver.1.3 (for Centauro only)"... so we can't use it now unless we have Centauro? Or is that just a remnant of the old file's description? Has anyone tried installing "balance13.exe" anyway over TOW2 patch 1.3.0 to see what happens? Thanks for any info.

Is there such a command in ToW that you can switch your engine off and back on again? I ask because I like the way the tank diesels rev up at the start of the game, which makes me think that the game was designed with this in mind. Also, I heard that the game was designed with an unbuttoned/buttoned tank option, but wasn't implemented due to lack of time? If these options are somehow embedded and hidden in the code, is there a way we could make a mod to revive them? Or... without the source code... I'm guessing no? :confused: Thanks for any info mes amis.

I would also like to know the answer to this, thanks.

One final request rofl... I think you know what I'm going to ask... So... IF it isn't a difficult thing to do, would it be possible to add the Leibstandarte emblem... ...to your wonderful Grey Tiger skin, to put the icing on the cake? I mean, into the same positions as was done in the JSH mod, like here in the foreground... I don't mean for you to change your clean version of course, I just mean to perhaps add an alternate Leibstandarte version available for download? Once again, only do this if it isn't too much trouble! And many many tanks! PS: Cool video jürgen zül, excellent! And you're welcome

Danke rofl, perfect :cool: Tanks for including your updated skins.ini with your red numbers, now there's no need for any text-editing For me, I needed to edit my skins.ini because the JSH mod already has a couple of extra Tiger skins (Leibstandarte and Das Reich panzer divisions) and your grey tiger skins.ini would've overwritten it if I didn't cut and paste your Summer8 grey skin values into my existing skins.ini. I hope that makes sense Jurgen, I used Fraps www.fraps.com to take the snaps. Good luck

Ja, but if you haven't already done so, why not install the latest 'JSH mod' (1.3.2. I think) first, as it creates the necessary 'data' and '3dobj' folders for you. Then, instead of overwriting (and ruining) everything w/ rofl's Grey Tiger mod, simply edit the .ini files yourself by cutting and pasting the necessary Summer8 fields in it from rofl's mod. I'm no expert at this but if you look at rofl's files in any text editor it should become clear exactly what you have to do EDIT: Just to be clear, rofl's mod does not work unless you edit your skins.ini and change the filenames under [skin_Summer8] to the correct ones, as I mentioned above. I agree, I'd really like to know how to get those red numbers. Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any references? I'm new at modding this. This is how my tanks are looking now, courtesy of rofl the great. Anyway, tanks again

THANKS for reposting! It works PERFECTLY! Well... almost. Your skins.ini needed a minor editing tweak to reflect the fact you called it "Summer8" (you left it as "Summer7" - have a look at line 225 under [skin_Summer8] and it's simply a matter of editing the filenames from 7 to 8. No biggie... maybe you might want to alter it for the sake of completeness but hey it works so no need really). Thanks again EDIT: I meant to say lines 229 through 255 need editing... for example the first one "Material0 mat_dop1_alpha 3dobj\tanks\ger\pz_vie_(tiger_i)\summer7\mat_dop1_alpha.mat" needs changing to "Material0 mat_dop1_alpha 3dobj\tanks\ger\pz_vie_(tiger_i)\summer8\mat_dop1_alpha.mat" Oh wait... I almost forgot... just one more Columbo (thing!)... do you still have the additional texture file for the red numbers? I like the look w/ the standard white division insignia... but I think I like your red numbers better. Pretty please?

Great work rofl I can't wait to try it! EDIT: oh no... I really wanted to try your Panzer Grey Tiger rofl... but the grey_tiger_data.rar et al files aren't on your Filefront anymore if you no longer have them... does anyone else still have them?! If they are lost... this is a disaster Please help!
