Warts 'n' all Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 There is a Finnish mod and a small number of playable missions set in 1944. There is also a Stalingrad mod. I'm not sure about anything earlier. But I'm sure someone else will be along to help you soon. Happy gaming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacillator Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I've said it before and I'll say it again, Phil ( @kohlenklau ) has done lots of great stuff, including the early war stuff as described above. Highly recommend them. And he's a nice guy . So can I play with that KV1 yet Phil? Please... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to but have a bunch of construction projects on my plate. Building an outdoor sauna and a grand dining room (2 stories ceiling with staircase to a loft)... Also a ton of travel plans here and there. Our first cruise. A visit to my older brother who had a stroke. yada yada yada etc etc I do really want to get to it in combo with a forumite who is making a big arse Barbarossa map. EDIT: I just remembered the wife is headed out of town next week for an overnight with her Mom (age 92) going to a casino down by the Rio Grande. Indian tribe casino...my mother-in-law can stay there by the slot machine like 24 hours! I can fire up Blender and try to make some headway on the KV1 and the Italian M13/40 as well.

Vacillator Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 So can I come and try the sauna instead? I'll bring some home-grown Habaneros and we can share a hot pizza in your dining room . Seriously Phil take your time and do your priority things as you see them. Not having an in-game KV1 is not really your fault after all. And yes I saw mention of the Barbarossa map, love it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacillator Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Yes, brother-in-law and his family. Somewhere called Pflugerville (say what?) after a while in McAllen.

So they still have Hitler Youth in Pflugerville? They must also be getting on a bit now. Anyway if by Hitler Youth they meant 12th SS HJ I would not have been encouraged by that. I guess they didn't mean that. In reality they came up against the 9th and 10th SS I think? Edited May 21, 2022 by Vacillator 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people organize the z folder a certain way, I just shove it all in there and therefore I sometimes have issues, but I got a lot going on, you should be ok.

Uhh I think that I broke it down. I took all the CMRT files, created "z" folder and put it in there, then I took for example scenarios from Warsaw uprising and Barbarossa and Stalingrad and put them in the Documents. It works, its playable , but for example in menu i have Italian mod logo, Combat mission Scenarios logo with some guy/bear with bag on the top-left, and when Iam choosing side, it shows me Italian flag as axis, and early war Soviet soldiers as allies. Am I just supposed to have the only mod Iam using in the "z" folder? Also for example in Barbarossa and Stalingrad mod, there are 4 scenarios + several files like "BARB PANZER ANKLOPF" that has "new mods for z folder" "OPTIONAL" and bbt file that I bealive is file that should be in scenarios folder in Documents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hey Havran, There are a few mods that are optional and make BLANKET changes to a few things. I suggest you play the 1 CMRT Italy scenario and then delete it all out of z. That will fix the opening screen being Italy. Making all these mods is like having 10 girlfriends at once. Hell breaks loose when you call one by the wrong name! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) When I get home I will tell you the files to remove to return some of those issues to normal...it is just a few. Dang. Maybe all in that optional folder! Give that a try. Edit: I will go into my Goody Box and yank those headaches out so folks don't see stuff unless modtagged. It was fun to make and I like to see it but it is indeed a hassle. Edited June 4, 2022 by kohlenklau 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 It's best to create a folder outside of any game folders and store your mods in it. Then when playing a particular scenario or campaign move the mods you need into your "z" folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
