Carpiquet Airfield Geman Skirmish Mission

**bassmaniac** · 31-10-2011

Hello!

Here is the new version of my German skirmish mission: Caen Carpiquet Airfield.

The goal is to take back the airfield, that had been taken by the canadians the 4 july 1944..
It's a historical mission and I hope you will enjoy it!

Here is the link to download it: http://www.moddb.com/games/men-of-wa...-by-bassmaniac
(Update version : 5 July 2012)

All the stuff is made by me:
- Bigger Map: extended version with an urban sector in front of the Airfield entry
- New flags (german, canadian)
- New skins (Jagpanther, Sdkfz 251, Opel Blitz, Panther, Tiger, locomotive, citern wagon, Ju52, Me109, Stukas)
- New bushes added on near all the German's tanks
- new songs
- new portraits
- new names and colors labels
- new screens, etc..
- new paths for AI enemies

I have edited the skirmish script of Steven, for a gradually difficulty for each level, and no more continue ennemies waves

Added also, 6 reload points near flags and more amo for all units (it's a big map, and units were often out of amo in the last version)

INSTALLATION:
- Extract the mod in the "mods" folder inside your Men of War: Assault Squad directory
- If this folder does not exist, create it
- Path to my Men of War: Assault Squad:

DvD version: C:\Program Files\1C Company\Men of War Assault Squad
Steam Version:C:\Program Files\Steam2\SteamApps\common\men of war assault squad

With this mod, when you open the skirmish menu, you will see a new button "Normandie 1944"
Clic on it to access the mission.

CREATORS:
- Bassmaniac (maps, all stuff, scripts and gameplay balance)
- Steven (advanced scripts)
Regards.

so this is what you have been up to ... d/ling now

Happens every time I try to start the mission, on MP it gives a slightly different error message.

Hello!

Thank's glennji and Mildob for your reports and sorry for this crash/bug

This mission worked fine on my pc. My brother had also a crash game after the install the mod, but the mission worked fine after he start the game again..
Note that we have tested this skirmish only in solo (not in mp).

What's your PC? (good CPU or low one? Graphic card type? how many Mo of memory?)
This map/mission is big (double size than original skirmish map) and maybe it could stress your video card if you play with all the option max.
My PC is a quadcore, i've a Nvidia 8600GTS 512Mo and only 16Mo of good memory and the mission is ok with Medium/high options. My brother play with a recent dualcore Asus laptop, with a 17'' screen, 1600x1200 and graphics to the max and it's ok for him.

I will try to check what could be the cause this problem, that appears since the new patch..

If someone try it and had no problem with it, can write on this thread?

regards.
Bass

My specs:

i5
460GT
6gb RAM
Windows 7.

I can try turning the graphics down tomorrow, but I don't think that's the problem really.

Sorry to report that I get a similar error report.

**Captain Cluck** · 31-10-2011

Just had a look in the editor and 4 of your initial squad + reinforcement squad are blue monsters, which cause the crash as soon as you click on them. In my limited understanding I reckon you have some custom saved entities somewhere in your own editor which allow you NOT to crash but cause everyone else to.

Double check 'cos it would be a shame to put in all that work and not allow us all to enjoy it!

PS I otherwise haven't peeked so please fix this minor oversight.

Thank's, it help a lot!
(and you are right, i've worked hard on it)

It's a mystery how it was possible for me to play without crash on my PC?? (i've played all this day, and it run perfect, same for my brother..).

I've reinstall it this night, and after suppress all suspected folders, and keep the essential: It crashes with blue soldiers!! (i think there was an old version script in "my games" folder, that permit to run the mod, even with bugged new script??)

I've allready delete all crate6 and Crate7, and all inventory boxes that cause problems since the new patch.

The new patch seems to refuse to show some skins (the original skirmish script of steven was done before the patch) and cause blue soldiers (ger smg), but as theses blue units can be selected to change their skins in the GEM editor, so i'm not sure that the game crash is directely link to theses blue soldiers..

I will check (and test it) to propose a new version soon. Sorry for that bug..

Regards.
Bass
