HOI2 CORE mod now converted to DH

Be aware that this is a very rough conversion that merely makes the mod playable (unzip in Mods folder).

See Hagar description:

Hagar said:

The CORE team is pleased to present you:

CORE 0.4.1 for Armageddon

This release is our final release for Armageddon, as we will shift our full focus towards Arsenal of Democracy. Though basically a patch project, it does contain plenty of new material, including new events and a thoroughly revamped German leader & minister line-up. Including many, many painstakingly recolored leaders and ministers...

CORE 0.4.1 is designed to work with ARM patch 1.03b2

Version 0.4.1 has separate installers for the basic CORE game as well as installers for the CORE graphics add-ons. The CORE in Color graphics pack is exclusively designed to be used together with GIP (the latter installed in the Vanilla directory setup).

The checksum should be: FLIF

Notice to Steam users:
In order to be able to play CORE, please install the game using the installer, and then select:
Steam - Library, right click the game, properties, set launch options, type mod-CORE2.

Windows installer version - just select your HoI2 Armageddon directory:
CORE2 0.4.1 basic installer (27.45 MB) - if needed rename into .exe
CORE 0.4.1 Black & White graphics pack (138.53 MB) - if needed rename into .exe
CORE in Color graphics pack for CORE2 0.4.1 (176.77 MB) - if needed rename into .exe

And as a sneak preview of the COREd graphics:

What is it that does not work? The converted version link works fine.

For those who haven't played CORE, I can thoroughly recommend it. I doubt that this raw conversion will take full advantage of all the features that DH has to offer, but you'll still get to see what attention to detail and commitment to historical accuracy can do for a game.

Yep, the conversion does not take full advantage of DH features. I hope some modders looking for a project to start will take it over and develop these converted mods on DH engine.

How to install it? Should I copy Darkest Hour full/light and install core on it or what?

Like any mod: Unzip in mods folder (So you have Darkest Hour > Mods > CORE), launch the game and select CORE mod.

Is it possible to instead port a more recent AOD version of core?

Yes but I am not going to fix these. As said, I only made the mods playable (and it was a heck of a work: there were tons of crashes on load I had to fix). Now that this first necessary/boring step is done, it's up to modders to take them over and keep developing these old HOI2 mods.
As for myself, I am 100% focused on delivering DH 1.03, I have no time to divert. Working on 1914 scenario enhancement atm.

No, it's too complicated to convert from AOD version. They changed so many text strings and other stuffs that it's virtually days of work. I can't afford it.
DH is more mod-friendly and pays attention to mod compatibility, that's why it was easier and quicker.

Thank you for this! CORE was my favorite mod until Darkest Hour came out. Will this retain compatible when DH1.03 lands?

Like every other mod, this should be updated(misc.txt and few other config files) to work on any new patch.

I'm guessing when somebody makes it that way. Fernando's been pretty clear that he's not that someone.
