Scenario Files 0.1 (16.9MB) - Apologies, but you must follow the link and look at the irritating adverts for a few seconds to get the file....
***
Greetings to all! Here you have the extraordinarily unplayable pre-alpha version of Kaiserreich. This has basically been released so people can see what has been done, and so can (hopefully!) give more extensive help, thereby getting an actual playable version out sooner.
Since it really isn't worth anyone's bother backing up pretty much all of their game files to look at a map, I've packaged this thing inside the JSGME utility. To use, extract these files into your HOI2 directory, load up the application, select the 'Kaiserreich' folder, and move it across. The next time you run the game, all the mod and scenario files will be active. Reverse this process to deactivate the files, and return to the vanilla game.
Oh yes, again, like ‘All the Russias’ you’ll get a ‘Scenario files have errors’ message when you load up the game. Ignore this, and everything will run fine. Again, eternal gratitude will be given to anyone who can get rid of this!
What is here:
* Complete province setup.
* Basic OOB (needs improvement)
* Diplomatic relations, alliances and guarantees all in place.
* Cabinets and redone ministers for many countries.
* Various graphics (load screens, flags, shields etc..), but still, many need to be changed or improved => I also have some skins as well from T-Hiddemen and LordAdmiral, but these aren’t included in this version due to filesize limitations (they take up about 35mb in total!)
* Some events (eg. Russian events from ‘All the Russias’, and new Ukrainian and Ausgleich ones, but these lack proper descriptions; also American, Spanish and Balkan events, but these won’t fire as I want to redo them -> Remove the ‘#####’ in the ‘events.txt’ if you want to see how they work => BUT some of the Balkan events make the game crash, so be warned!!!)
Already on the to-do list for the next Alpha version are:
* Completely redo the German ministers file.
* Get some better flags for many of the countries (so, please send any you have!)
* Propaganda posters and descriptions added for all major countries (only a few done so far…)
* Get proper cabinets and descriptions for the remaining major countries.
* Add British, Canadian, French, Bulgarian, Turkish and Egyptian naval OOBs (I believe Berlichingen is working hard on this…)
Giving feedback
This is of course always welcome - However, to be extremely helpful, please make it as detailed as possible! The more info that’s given, the quicker these things can be sorted out (if not they’re likely to go to the bottom of a very long list of things to do!) – so if ministers, province ownerships or the like need to be changed, please try and give IDs as well, as this cuts the time taken actual implement these changes in half. And if you don’t like certain features of the setup, be productive and suggest replacements as well. Or (even better!) send corrected or improved game files....
