Austria "mod" - What if Austria was became an empre again?

[Van der Gent]

Well, I have had tons of problem with my laptop. (Im thinking of getting a good old ordinary computer instead) But hopefully it will work for a while now.

asboi(May I shorten your name like that?) I would be very pleased if you would help me with events and whatever you can help me with, later this week I'll probably try to pull together what I have left of the "1.1 patch".

You can call me angel if angelscotboi is too much .

Ive just went thru the event files and copy and pasted all of the AHM events into them - so the events will now be v1.3 compatible.

Here is my copy for you to have a look through VDG.

ok Ängel, Do you have msn/yahoo messenger? We must discuss what needs to be done and what has been done.

 

[richtman]

Good work guys! Kick the shit out of this mod!

 

[unmerged(19841)]

nice mod keep up the good work

 

[bombshellboi]

To be honest the mod is largely completed - its mostly just revision of the current event set up slightly, adding some events for Imperial-Yugoslavia/Serbia conflicts, and adding in some Soviet interferance events for Romania.

That and porting all of the new events added in the latest patch over into the AHM; which as you see ive already done.
If possible id like to port the entire Mod into the Mod-Dir rather than just having the events there but im not sure if thats possible...

Thats about it really to get it to "Gold" ie Version 2.0.

Ideally what id like to do is revise the entire set up so that the Empire has the choice of 3 event paths; Axis, Allies, and Independent; but that would require extensive reworking of the Mod beyond my skills and beyond VDG's endurance. lol.

It would certainly be interesting to have different paths, but if you can find an experienced modder who is willing to make a go we could certainly try. I don't know how to put the entire thing into mod-dir, but it should be possible as larger mods have that.

We'll see what we can do in the future...

I noticed the sprites from austrian mod carries over to ordinary vanilla hoi as well. I didnt know that before I installed and I want to change them back. How do I do it ?

 

[hammerfalls]

I will have event chains for different alliances finished in a couple days.

You'd need to reinstall HoI2 and then when u reinstall the AHM back over it make sure to not copy over the pictures/sprites.

Really??

That was fast...

I havent seen VDG online in a few days to properly discuss what we were going to do- this weekend was the aim I think.
But thats great - if you want to send me the revised events for me to have a look over that be great?

 

[hammerfalls]

I have added an event to cover Austrian entry into the Allies, however I will be adding a few more to cover different possibilities, as well as a couple victory events for Austria in the Allies. I decided to copy the structure I used in my Byzantine mod so everything is flag based. If the Austrians are not in an alliance, I will be writing events (based on government) for subtle Austrian support (partisan activity etc.) to different alliances. I will also design something small to cover a possible, if unlikely, Austrian-Soviet Alliance.

I am hoping to have everything done tommorow evening so where should I be sending my work.

So far I have modified the following events:
60009
60017
60044
85002

And added the following events:
60045
60046
60047
99004

Nice work! By the way, im not sure if you already changed this but you should really make the campaign >a bit harder<, not so many free troops. I didnt have to build a single division to recreate the empire... And you could cut down some on the free resource stockpiles and what not as well!

Me and Angel. is working on the Austria mod in this very minute!

I have done flags, shields, counters, load screens, front_end, bg_start and endgame screens, scenario graphics, propaganda (nation desc) graphics, skins for countries, a a very few models and leaders. You can look at some of my counter graphics at My Counter Page and see other samples of larger graphics in the Rome Mod, Iron Eagle, Kaiserriech and Turtledove Mod threads and the Graphic Flag Request Thread

I'll be happy to help!

 

[Van der Gent]

We could need load screens and start screens. Can you fix that?

Would be really nice.

Sure, can you give me a few suggestions as to the imagery you would like to see?

Maybe a map of A-H an Austrian medal, an airplane a tank, You have pretty much freedom.

The events look great but theres a slight problem, or rather two slight problems ive noticed.

One you appear to have downloaded VDGs older version of the events rather than my updated one...
Find my updated events here:
AHM Events

Two, its my fault really this one. I wasnt really clear on what I meant; sorry youll kick me for it.
What VDG and I meant about the 3 seperate event paths is right at the start of a campaign you would get something like this;

Welcome Event (Standard Welcome to Austria Mod Event)
|
|
The Emperor Returns Event (Where the Player chooses one of three paths - PA Axis Empire, PA/SC Independent Empire, and SC Allied Empire where each choice sleeps all the events relating to the other choices; for example the Axis choice will sleep all the allied and independent related events etc...)
|
|
Begin chosen Event path

The events themselves however look great.

 

[hammerfalls]

no offense, but there is no way in hell I am writing three seperate event paths. I will adjust the events I have written to match your new ones but is about all I the time I can commit to this. Sorry if its not enough.
