[Dies Irae: Götterdämmerung] Report thread

Thanks to Gamer_1745, you can find the latest patches here.

I guess I have somehow become the support person for DI:G because of my limited work way back in helping updating it to work with TFH as part of VWP!
Dies_Irae_Gotterdammerung_beta_2.06
Dies_irae_Gotterdammerung_v1.03_beta

--------------

Hi guys, in order for me to keep visibility of your comments and bugs reports, please post in this thread and in no others. :)

DD-CELANO.jpg


#Where to buy:
Dies Irae: Götterdämmerung is out on Gamersgate and should be out on several other portals on thursday AFAIK.

Dies Irae: Götterdämmerung on Gamersgate
Dies Irae: Götterdämmerung on Steam
Dies Irae: Götterdämmerung on Impulse

DIES IRAE: GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG IS COMPATIBLE WITH NO MOD OR PREVIOUS DLC

#Tips:

ADDITIONAL GRAPHICS

A note that some people might be interested in: Due to the V2 loading screens I did for the DLC Old Vic not falling in everyones taste, the loading screens for DI:G are optional and are located in the /mod/Dies_Irae_Gotterdammerung/gfx/loadingscreens/ folder.

You can backup your vanilla ones and overwrite them, if you want the DI:G loadingscreens instead. They'll always show then. Remember to backup the vanilla ones! :)

The same goes for the topbar graphic in the main game screen. It's located in /mod/Dies_Irae_Gotterdammerung/gfx/interface_skins/ and is caled topbar_GER.dds. You can place that one in ithe same vanilla folder if you want, to use a wooden topbar. Remember to back up the old one.

These are two optional things, nothing that's required. :)

FRANCESCO MODEL MOD - link

This mod replaces the black & white photos used to display units with coloured drawings, with quality drawings you can display a lot more details compared to historical photos... you will be able to accurately see what you are building and using on the front.
The mod also improves the soldier faces adding more details, making them a little more realistic and lesser plastic.

FRANCESCO COUNTERS MOD - link

This mod completely overhauls vanilla NATO counters for more eye candy, fully replacing map counters, small counters and interface counters. Each component can be installed separately and map counters are aviable in 3 different sets, every one should be able to tune the mod to match his taste.

INSTALLATION TROUBLE?

I solved the installation problem by following instructions i found in the pre-order thread. here is how I did it:
downloaded and installed the DLC (in my case from Gamersgate) to the download folder (instructions were to use desktop). you will find a folder there called "HOI3". inside are two files (gfx and mod) plus uninstall stuff. I just copied the two above files (gfx and mod) to the main game folder (which should be a copy of unmodded HOI3/SF).
use the laucher, now you can choose between default (vanilla game) and Dies Irae. runs just fine now.

hope this post helps for anyone having trouble installing the DLC.

STEAM INSTALLATION

1. You need to go into the HOI3 folder and look for HOI3.exe, this is the mod launcher. Here you can choose Dies Irae and play with it.
Check the picture: http://didays.derkb.de/downloads/DiesIrae/hoi3launcher.jpg

2. Or you can right click on your HoI3 in Steam, go to properties -> set launch options and add "-mod Dies_irae_Gotterdammerung" then launch the game to make it always use that DLC.

THE GAME CRASHES ON LEADER SELECTION

Your HOI3 is not patched right. Be sure you have 2.04d or 2.04e or 2.04f. IF YOU INSTALL A PATCH OVER THE HOI3+SF+DLC BE SURE YOU INSTALL THE DLC AGAIN.


I HAVE SOME BOXES OVER THE MODEL PICTURES

Please try:
1. Copy the HOI3 entire folder (+SF+patch+DIG) to your desktop. I said copy, so you have 2 HOI3 folders now.
2. Now go back to the old HOI3 and copy the entire \mod directory
3. Paste it into the new HOI3 copy, overwrite the files.

I suspect there is a conflict with creation dates or something within vanilla and DI:G. If you copy DI:G over itself it may make DI:G newer than vanilla files and then the game will take DI:G gfx and the bug would disappear.

Since I can't reproduce your bug I can't help you more than that. Please be sure your follow the exact steps and report back.

These thing *really* deserve their own subforum...
 
I asked for it (a subforum for all the DLC, Common Weapons of WWII as well) in order to have more visibility for patches and mods. :)
 
A note that some people might be interested in: Due to the V2 loading screens I did for the DLC Old Vic not falling in everyones taste, the loading screens for DI:G are optional and are located in the /mod/Dies_Irae_Gotterdammerung/gfx/loadingscreens/ folder.

You can backup your vanilla ones and overwrite them, if you want the DI:G loadingscreens instead. They'll always show then. Remember to backup the vanilla ones! :)

The same goes for the topbar graphic in the main game screen. It's located in /mod/Dies_Irae_Gotterdammerung/gfx/interface/skins/ and is caled topbar_GER.dds. You can place that one in ithe same vanilla folder if you want, to use a wooden topbar. Remember to back up the old one.

Is it actually WAD that I can choose to play as not-Germany? :p
 
Is it actually WAD that I can choose to play as not-Germany? :p

You can, but you shouldn't. You'll get an event telling you to play as Germany. It's not possible to "lock" out the other nations, but the game will be completely screwed up if you play as them. :)
 
Also if you press play with another country your computer will unplug itself and jump out the window. So I don't recommend it. :D
 
I must say this is a great work! I think the two lowest naval ranks need to be flip flopped.
 
So far, so good. My only minor concern is the generic unit names for army units. I thought that if you built a regiment then it would have the correct classification, i.e Gebirgsjager Regiment instead of the generic term. Is it possible to produce units with the correct title?
 
I must say this is a great work! I think the two lowest naval ranks need to be flip flopped.

You're right, they should. It will be patched, but in the meantime to anyone who wants to fix it themselves it's an easy swop in the localisation file _DIES IRAE Naming Conventions.csv of the two titles. :)
 
I love the new loading screens they totally have that old time photo feel to them.
 
I don´t have the time right now to play your dlc.
But I have bought it to show my support.
 
Good job! It would be nice though if it would show you the name of the award that individual units get, when you put the pointer over it, for those of us not well informed on German war medals :)
