Fields of Honor 2 Campaign Beta Update: Ludendorff Bridge

[Lloydyboy]

i'm making Campaign maps for the Mod - German Soldiers mod (Fields of Honor 2) viewtopic.php?f=141&t=3233 (http://www.digitalmindsoft.eu/forums/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=3233) the Campaign afaik doesnt work with normal Men of War but works with GSM Fields of Honor 2 mod that i have been making is the Liberation of France, (allied campaign) with 4 missions atm i'm currently working on a 5 mission, the missions are SP missions from Faces of War but edited to contain Histrorical Units Other Missions might be edited Men of War missions

this is still a Beta btw so there maybe a few bugs if you do find bugs report them to me Via PM or Post them here

there is already bugs which i have found though

1: the Artillery Cannon Crews for 1st mission have Normal Men of War skins and Weapons, GEM editor kept crashing when i tried to change their skin so they are left as they are
2: the stuart can ram through any building, without losing speed...
3: the british soldiers on the 3rd mission carry PPShs as backup guns, if they lose there main weapon they'll take out a PPSh
4: Canadian Soldiers dont have a Skin at the moment so they have a Darker British skin
5: the 6 pounder by the Barn can get its main gun damaged from blast radius (there is a Repair kit in the Halftrack to repair it)
6: the 17 pounder is an easy target for the 88s and the tanks in the trench systems


thats all the bugs i know, if you find more let me know

Installation:

1st you must/I recomend Download GSM Fields of Honor 2 mod then download this campaign

after downloading GSM Fields of Honor 2 mod, take out the 1 Pat File and place it somewhere else,

unzip the Campaign and place the contents (Locaization, resources, 1Pat File) and place them in the GSM folder and overwrite the existing Localization, resources folders and merge if possible

Download Beta 1.0: http://www.filefront.com/16777363/FoH2%20Campaign.rar

You have done it well.
By the way, It doesn't work even though I follow your direction.
I just get an error message as below.

================================================== =====
Not SDL file! (esdlreader.cpp, 17)

================================================== ======
What do you think I should do?

[Lloydyboy]

i think you have put the Localization folder in the wrong location, make sure the Localization folder goes outside the Resources folder

does it crash when you start the mission or when you start up Men of War

this must be the directory of course if your C Drive is something else D,E,X for example then replace it with that instead

C:\Program Files\505games\1C\Men of War\mods\GSM Fields of Honor 2\localization\
.......

Update: the Russian Campaign is being made as of this moment - "Russian Snow" it is taking place during Operation Mars which was the Rhzev Offencive (and 1 side mission about Kharkov) to dislodge the germans from Moscow and secure their Flank hopefully distracting the germans and lure their Panzer Divisions to head North instead of defending South from Stalingrad, there is 5 missions Edited maps from Faces of War (only snow missions) so stay tuned

I’ve tried many ways to fix a problem and I checked your mod file.
for my money, This seems to be the cause of an error.
Could you Check your mod file( \FoH2 Campaign\FoH2 Campaign\localization\mission\single\3-2 - St Lô Offencive.ln), please?

[Lloydyboy]

Ok heres a new Localization file, make sure it goes in ur GSM folder outside of the Resources folder, and overwrite the existing files

[jinykim]

Thanks, however I get an error message like a last time.
sorry, It looks like a great mod...

[Lloydyboy]

i still dont get how it doesnt work, i get no errors with me, even when i run just the FoH2 Campaign as a mod in MoW, are you patched up to 1.17.5? thats the last thing i can suggest wrong, everything else is just odd

actually i think i might know the problem, i edit the LNG files using Notepad however you could go into a Backup Folder which i accidently kept inside the Download, inside the download is a folder saying "allies"

inside there is the Backup LNGs for Faces of War but Edited for Men of War just find the 1st LNG saying "1-1 Falaise" you could try editing that to fix the problem, just rename the LNG to " 2 - St Lo Offencive" and go inside and change the {"name FALAISE"} to {"St Lo Offencive"} and it Might work, if not then sorry i dont know what the problem is

[jinykim]

yes. i am patched up to 1.17.5. well, how about this way? i uninstall my pressent mow and insall new mow file. and then i patch up to 1.11.3.
Would you like me to do so?

[Lloydyboy]

no being patched up, is the right thing to do since i am patched up too. try my 2nd idea and see if it works, i'll do some more digging around and see if i can find the problem, it isnt fair that people arnt able to play something while others can...

[jinykim]

Please, check out your PM again one more time.
I hope it's a good news for you.

[Lloydyboy]

as long as you are able to load the Campaign with no problems then all is well

heres a quick update:
the 1st 2 Missions for the Russian Snow Campaign are finished

Operation Mars

[jinykim]

AS my little knowledge, I'm not sure what to do with it
by the way, are you making Operation Mars and Leningrad in soviet campaigns?
if so, When's the release date? I can hardly wait to see it.
Can you tell me about future plans?

[Lloydyboy]

well the Content for the German Campaign i want to make Custom maps and make Custom missions, so the German Campaign will be the longest to arrive, the Russian Campaign will probably be due by 17th July or Before, not after though

the Campaign for the Russian Campaign is based around Operation Mars it was planned for 5 missions, but 1 of the Operation Mars Maps was too Buggy and had to be aborted, i might put it back in if i have time, how ever the 1st mission is Louvain on Faces of War but replaced with 1942 Russian + German Men and Machines and a couple of 1941 (KV2 and T34-57), there will be 2 Side Missions, 1 about the Defence of Leningrad in 1942, and 1 about Kharkov (the last mission) as of this moment i'm working on the 2nd Operation Mars Mission, so give it time and before 17th July it will be out, Hopefully this time bug Free

[jinykim]

wow, great idea!
by the way, is it Fields of Honor 2 Campaign Beta upgrade? or other?
and to make new mod, I hope you refer to this site(http://ww2db.com/index.php)
In any case, I hope that the day of release would come as soon as possible.
I trust to hear good news. good-bye and good luck~~~

[Lloydyboy]

yes it is an Upgrade, since i'm completly new to modding i thought it was best to have units from Histrorical Accurate Mods, which is why i chose German Soldiers Mod, Blubor2k is well aware of my Campaign and hopes it is completed soon, when i gain more experience i will make Original MoW Side Missions...

[jinykim]

your idea is original! excellent
Good luck! I hope it goes well in this time.
by the way, Fields of Honor 2 Campaign Beta is rather difficult for me.
anyway, Is there anything I can do to help?
millitary photos, song etc
i like them and it's my hobby.

[Lloydyboy]

yes its meant to be quite difficult, gives the Players a Challenge in the mod, i''ll make it a little easier in the next update

can you make maps, cos the Kharkov Mission is now bugged due to Different Ammo Types between the mission and the mod, and i need a replacement map, so far i'm looking into getting maps from Red Tide to replace them, but there isnt enough

[jinykim]

I'll try to find them.
what kind of map? single or multi
and What's the make-up of the file?
for example resource folder, localization folder, mi or dds file etc
Hmmm, would you be more specific?

[FFA702]

maps from Red Tide

I think tis i'snt allowed,Zeke say you can use unit from red tide,but no mission(witch i assume include map)

[Lloydyboy]

oh ok... never mind about that mission then...

Maps are useally in the resource folder, and i need Snow Maps, Mulitplayer Snow Maps would do, and i'll edit them to a Mission

but then the Date for the Arrival would take longer if i was to make a mission from Scratch

[Lloydyboy]

German Campaign being started now, been taking a break from modding... should proably see the campaign being ready by the end of September hopefully

Russian Campaign is on Hold for the time being
......
