I can't join certain games. Others I can.

I noticed that when joining certain games (russian ones maybe?) it FAILS on this file:

Копия stug-4g1_xx.mdl

It is looking for this file instead:

Êîïèÿ stug-4g1_xx.mdl


I have not tested it yet, but I may just be able to rename the file to that and it will work. BUT, this is not good for the community to have to go through these extra steps to make it work. Even if I fix it, i will not be able to join the other games then.

Somethink wrong with Cyrillic-named files... Try to remove "synchronization flag" when you host...

[Albus]

Thanks VIN ;)

[Albus]

There is a bug not fixed in this version, that bug come with 1.51 version.
I explain :

Players can not refuelled his vehicles with a fuel barrel. Only with a 20 liters canister is possible.

Too weight for fuel barrel with 150 liters.

Solution is change stuff.set and four files .def ( blitz-fuel, bedford-fuel, zis5-fuel and gmc-fuel ) to restart 50 liters capacity or may be 100 liters (100 liters not tested)

[VIN]

Fixed version (1.6B) will be available today or tomorrow.

Enjoy!

You guys put so much time and effort into these BTRH mods, but I have a question. Why do you guys not have any modders making SP missions for it? Or maybe even some brand new CoOp missions for MP so that SP players such as myself could also play with the new toys? Personally, I choose not to join multiplayer games so others might actually enjoy the game because of a little handicap of mine. But there are quite a few others who also choose not to play MP either. We'd love to be able to enjoy the new materials as well. There have been several renditions of BTRH but not one SP version do I recall http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s108/MadCatOmni/Soldiers%20emoticons/cryani1.gif. Since you guys more or less swallowed up the Storm over Europe team and materials it seems that hope of anymore huge scale mods from that quarter are long dead and buried http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s108/MadCatOmni/Soldiers%20emoticons/cryani.gif. If a SP version of BTRH isn't in the cards then might some of the Team BTRH model makers create separate downloadable files for their entities so that other modders might easily add their beautiful creations to their own mods?(all proper credits and accolades accorded of course)

[Eger]

Now above development BTRH one person works
I cannot be assured in that that promotion Coop will be possible. But I would like to add a little coop mission in next verison mod
If there will be interested people in it, I shall be glad.

[PrivateDwelling]

Eger

I think a lot of people would be interested.

[Mad Cat]

Shoot yeah! I know I'd love that. That would mean even SPers such as myself could also play with at least some of the new materials I would hope. I'm always so disappointed when I see those beautiful new weapons, vehicles and skins in mods but have no way of laying my hands on them in a mission http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s108/MadCatOmni/Soldiers%20emoticons/cryyyani.gif.

[mp5_sd]

The most good looking vehicles from all the mods! More detailed! And the front machinegun make it more realistic.
Eger, I would like to use some of the tanks in my mod, if is possible?

[Latdonine]

Eger would it be possible to get those AA vehicles and use them in my mod? :)

[Eger]

Yes, it is possible!
You can used..

[PrivateDwelling]

Eger would it be possible to get those AA vehicles and use them in my mod? :)

When I select the Bedford AA in the editor and attempt to examine the inventory the editor crashes. Does this happen to everyone else?

[Albus]

There is a bug Private, take that Bedford from DA 2.30, i fixed it for DA 2.30 :D

[PrivateDwelling]

Thanks, Albus

In previous versions of BTRH (before 1.6) the editor crashed on the following entities:

Bishop
Hetzer
Sdkfz251_22

Do you know if these bugs have been sorted? Saves me crashing and reloading the editor :lol:

[Albus]

i repaired Hetzer, i could not repair sdkfz 251_22 it has a bug in protection Pak40 and i dont tried with Bishop.

[PrivateDwelling]

Grand. Thanks for the info.

[Brathering]

I have a question to the new used munition shells in the tanks. They appear in black and yellow color. What are they for?

[Blub0r2k]

Shells in assortment…


New version of the mod, which has being developed for as long as 9 months, proposes many quantity modifications (units, maps, etc.) and also contains some quality changes in the gameplay. We would like to mention new shells types, added to the last mod version.
There are threew new shell types, such as:
1)HEAT
2)APHV, APDS
3)SM.

Lets review them more detailed.
HEAT shells constructed basing on the directed explosion energy, i.e. this is specific type of a high-explosive shells intended to pierce the armor. Ability to shoot the target with a HEAT shell doesn't depend on a distance. The shell can either strike certain type of the armored unit or not strike.
Power of the HEAT shells depends on the caliber. Any HEAT shells strike light tanks and armored troops with 100% probability. Medium tanks can be defeated with 150, 122, 105, 95, 88 mm shells. At the same time they can be defeated with more efforts by 75-76 mm.
Heavy and super heavy tanks are less vulnerable to 76-75, 88mm but 95 and 105mm could do the trick. HEAT rounds with calibers 150mm and 122mm destroys them with 100% probability. Head of the HEAT shell has yellow color.

Historical authenticity is kept: in german tanks you will find four different types of ammo.

Armor Pearce shells (APHV, APDS) have updated armor piercing abilities, achieved by updating of the strong core round head. Chances to destroy tanks armor are much higher then with regular AP round, but don’t expect to pierce frontal armor of a tank whose armor is just too heavy for this caliber. While using these types of ammo try to pierce weakest, loopholes places on a tank.
Effectiveness of APHV rounds also relies on caliber:
35-57mm light caliber;
75-76mm medium caliber;
85mm heavy caliber;
Britain also got another type of AP shells - APDS – with only 76mm and as effective as heavy caliber APHV rounds. Heads of APHV and APDS are colored black and gray.

Smoke shells (SM) are intended for creation of a heavy smoke screens on the battlefield and providing relative safety to units on maneuvers or reinforcing orders. Only heavy stationary artillery might use this type of rounds. Smoke rounds are colored gray.



These new types of ammo have significantly changed balance and improved the tactical feel of the game. Wise usage of different shells types may gain you major advantage on the battlefield over your enemy in long MP battles. Really often you’ll find yourself saving not only your crew members from burning tank but also that extremely useful special type of ammo so you can later take that sweet revenge with it.


but i think the correct Name for APHV is APCR (Amor Piercing Composit Rigit) or did he meant even another sort of ammunition ?
and i think i found a bug :D , so why does the m10-achillis uses APHV and the Firefly uses APDS ? its the same Gun and therefore it should be the same ammo used for it, or not ?

[Brathering]

Ah okay, now it's a little bit more clear... :typing:

Hello!

I downloaded the BTRH 1.6b mod. I didnt download anything else, and i didn't have any BTRH mods before. My Showw2 says the game is "Version: 1.28.3". I installed the mod in "Mods" folder in showw2 folder. The I started the game, put on the mod and the background picture changed, so the mod was on. Then i pressed "Play BTRH".
That's when it said: "Missing resource/map/multi/island/map", and then the game shuts down.
I dont know what to do. Is the game version 1.28.3 correct, or should it be 1.28.3e. Im using Vista Ultimate 32bit. And again, i havent downloaded anything else, so do i need new pathces or fixes for the game? Thank you already

PS: The mod seems great.

-Herman

[[OoO]No.Mam]

@herman
i dont play SHOWWII, but
have you installed this 2 patches? (http://www.digitalmindsoft.eu/downloads ... diers.html (http://www.digitalmindsoft.eu/downloads/downloads-for-soldiers.html))

1.28.3e
Vista Upgrade

[Blub0r2k]

good mod but a lot of bugs in it so far ;)

[mp5_sd]

I have a problem, or BTRH 1.6B got a problem.

pz4-d front sides rear thickness 20 ...all in mm
30 30 20

pz6 penetration values 10-120, 50-110, 100-100, 150-90

when I shoot with the Tiger from 100m in pz4-d, the shell it's going through the tank without producing damage or killing a soldier...just a small fire and a smoke on the place where the tank was hit.

I have shoot again with Kv-85...same problem.

How I can repair this? .... I have reduced the speed of 88mm shell....when I hit the pzd4-d in turret from 100m it's blowing up his turret, but when I hit him in the hull...no damage
After 2-3 shots 2 members of the pz4 crew are killed(not showed anymore in the tank)...and only after 3-5 shots the 4d get destroyed.
I have meet this situation and in case of a pz3 variant, and on m4a2 sometime.
Is a animation problem?

[Albus]

Link to download updated in the first post. :hurray:

[Dilust]

Are this version (1.6b) a cumulative version? Do I need the 1.6 version too? Thanks.

[mp5_sd]

To understand that you Albus and dinsen have repaired the mod, but the improvements are not in this BTRH 1.6B.....will be presented when 2Pz mod will be released?
Cause BTRH1.6 is a very good base for any new mod, excepting that pz-4d terminator edition tanks.

Dillust you don't need 1.6, 1.6B is standalone.

[Albus]

We (Dinsen and Albus) not modified BTRH 1.6B, this is only a new repack with winrar.

And yes 2PZ mod is BTRH based but we used 1.31 version and added vehicles from other mods , or other modders like Zeke Wolff and Ngvede (Sdkfz 2) or ours... and latest version BTRH.

[jimopl]
