Hey I downloaded the patch and copied all those files instead of the DD ones with "yes to all" option.
When I opened the game, there was no problem and if I select a scenario then start, the bar completes normally.
But after that, the game crushes.
OS:Win XP
what may be the problem?
 
I am trying to setup 1914 on a Windows Vista operating system. I have updated HOI2 to 1.3a but the problem is that the 1914-0.43 rar file comes up as a exe file and the computer doesn't recognize the file saying its not a valid WIN32 application, any hints to get pass this?

I had to get a new computer and lost my mod files so gotta start again. Frustrating.

Cheers in advance
 
I can't get the mod working.
The game start's, i choose netherlands.
And in the middle of loading it crashes.
It also says that two things are missing, carrier escort ... in something.

I got hearts of iron 2 doomsday v1.3a.

Also you tell in tutorial \1914 map, but i dont got any!
And about the windows explorer stuff, what does that have to do with this?
In Windows Explorer, locate your existing Hearts of Iron 2 or Doomsday program folder.
Since when can a webpage find my program folder?

In Windows Explorer, locate the following seven folders in your new \1914 directory, and delete each of them (including their sub-folders, if any):

* \ai
* \db
* \music (only if you use the 1914 music pack!)
* \scenarios
* \GFX\Interface\models
* \GFX\Interface\pics
* \GFX\Interface\tech

What?

Please help me >.>
 
Don't worry about my post, I finally got it to go.. Windows Vista man!

TO damitch300:
It sounds like something hasn't been deleted or followed properly if its saying missing carrier escort. Nothing personal against you, just wanna help and yeah its frustrating!

Its my suggestion, but others probably have other thoughts but create a new manilla copy (being the original). Name it something different in case you overwrite both (which I have done at times). Then apply the latest patch., being v1.3 for doomsday

To locate Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday
Open Windows Explorer. Search for Program Files. Then "Paradox Interactive", then the corresponding file for Doomsday which be "HoI2dd". I only have HoI2 original and HoI3.
Open the file and you will see the folders:

* \ai
* \db
* \music (only if you use the 1914 music pack!)
* \scenarios
* \GFX\Interface\models
* \GFX\Interface\pics
* \GFX\Interface\tech

Delete the folders. Whole.

If you have the same problem post on this thread again.


Hope it works for you
 
I also have the problem of the missing escort.txt file. Its full path is 1914/db/units/divisions... I tried to copy the escort file from Armageddon HOI and got 1914 to start, but now it crashes as soon as the ingame time begins to run :mad:

Try this, some others on the forum might know otherwise:
1. What's your Armageddon version number, you can find out by opening up readme under the Armageddon folder or ingame on the main screen is on the top right corner. Download the patch to update it to 1.2

2. Then download 1914. Make sure you select the DD/Armageddon version instead of HoI2. Follow the same instructions deleting all of the files in the previous post. Don't use a file from a different game because it will make it crash.

See how it goes, let us know. Do you have just Armageddon?
 
I have not touched 1914 for more than a year but here is what I have in escort.txt:

Code:

	manpower			= 1
	maxspeed			= 160
	surfacedetectioncapability	= 3
	airdetectioncapability		= 2
		surfacedefence			= 6
		airdefence			= 3
		airattack			= 4
		strategicattack			= 0
		softattack			= 1
		hardattack			= 0
		navalattack			= 0
	range				= 450
	supplyconsumption 		= 1
	fuelconsumption			= 2
	upgrade_time_factor 		= 0.5
	upgrade_cost_factor 		= 1.0
}

thanks for this amazing mod :)
 
Alright, I'm really excited to play this, but every time I try to load a scenario of any kind, an alert pops up informing me of an error with the options "abort" "retry" or "ignore." No matter what button I press it crashes.

I'm using the HOI version on XP and have tried re-downloading several times.

Where have I ruined everything?
 
Some weird things seem unpolished. Austria-Hungary is user defined, no Canadian government, shouldn't those have been a priority, or is the install bad?

The whole mod is still heavily wip. And there is not only no Canadian government....

While some of the problems I had were a bad install, it seems to work now, although the Canadians still have no government. Not a big deal.
 
Version 0.53...?

Did I miss something? All I can see is the 1914 mod for version 0.43. I have been reading about this 0.53, however. Please let me know. Thanks.
