Modern Day Scenario, towards Armageddon

[novapaddy]

What happened to all the names and pictures for the tanks and such? Noticed all thats gone.

I think when I did the port to dh1.04, I was a bit rusty. I know that I forgot to add the messages.csv file from dh1.04, so please do that.

I didn't realise I had forgotten other files, but as you say above, probably I have done. Let me check and I'll be back in a mo.

EDIT: OK I have checked and yes I have neglected to add the NATO brigade images, although the USA is done ok, as is RUS, CHC and generic.

Leave it with me and I'll post a fix asap.

My APOLOGIES!

But thanks for letting me know.

it wasn't just that. The names like m1a1, t-90, Leopard, Challenger. All of err..well most of the equipment had names in your previous version. Flavor is always a huge plus. I hoped that'd be a easy fix to do..since the files already have all the names in and pictures and artwork in. I just noticed it right off the bat, haha. If you need help with that I can offer editing the names and what not if its not a easy fix.

Yeah, but this version of the mod is a total redo from scratch, well except for events.

All new techs, new skins, new units, most of it is totally new.

It appears that at the time I was doing this mod, about 18 months ago, I was undecided how to handle european NATO armies, so I left it and moved on to work on other parts of the mod. Then I forgot I had not done it, and now today I find out there is a big hole in the mod.

And please remember that I'm here on my own most of the time, although I do get help from generous guys from time to time, and it is always much appreciated.

SO, I'll have to sort out the brigades for this mod and get some european nato army pics to match.

On the note about the names being filled in with "Challenger" instead of Arm-1 or whatever, again I'm here most of the time on my own. So it waits some TLC.

Totally understand, didn't mean to sound pushy. I was just mentioning it. I really loved your version of the mod, was hoping it'd be a easy fix. Seems as its a redo needs some help. I sent ya a pm by the way.

 

[novapaddy]

I replied to your PM and would gladly accept your helping hand. Cheers

 

[GermanPower]

Novas got his handsful it seems? I'm going to be trying to help him out if my help is good enough for the sexy mod So some minor flavor stuff I'm going to help with. SOO basically if I've got the skills to pay the bills the mod should be getting some stuff worked on.

 

[novapaddy]

Sounds good to me!

 

[GermanPower]

Alright. Gotcha ya on the PC cleaning. Question many tank forces in the Middle East&Africa are using tanks from the 70s and 60s. They are also using Monkey Models, all of them really. Is that going to be defined in the game? As it was before with the preupdated version. For myself a American M1A1 Abrams is leagues ahead of a Saudi Arabian purchased M1. Its just a thought. Most nations there can't really produce a tank without the support of a major power. I'd like to help simulate that. I'm not sure if you'd have any ideas. Also Today I'll be working on refiting and giving you images for Germany, France, USA (Names and Pics, If you wouldn't mind me replacing them) Russia, Poland, UK, Spain, Italy, Ukraine, Greece (Because of Current events) Syria, Iran.
I'd also like to help with events too. Giving you the info and so forth. Sorry if this is a lot, haha. Just thinking. I've also been thinking for the possible conflict that'd happen in 2015 or later. As Nato Forces currently have massed on the Polish border, look at recent drills and deployments, heating up of nuclear missiles being reaimed at each other. New cold war basically. I would think that due to the tech tree ending in 2020. It might be a good idea to have Russia starting to grab and retake over former soviet states in 2010 or so. Then the kickoff could be in Russia invading Ukraine,Belarus, Baltic states. Theres just a ton of RL stuff to implement into this mod that could work out a realistic world war 3 situation. Japan currently is re-militarizing in response to ISIS. Confrontation in the Pacific. Just theres a ton of good stuff going on that could be played out into many proxy and real wars.

Various articles to skim for museness. Tons of information in there.

PM I sent to Nova, Suggested I post it here.

 

[GermanPower]

Heres my current update of just tanks so far.
French Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
German Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
Russian Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
US Tanks: Needs final image, Reworking
UK Tanks: Needs two images, Challenger 3 and Centaur 1 (Images sent to Nova!)
Polish Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
South Korean Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
Chinese Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
Japanese Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
Italian Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
Israelie Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked
Spanish Tanks: Finished Ships: Tasked

Did you guys know there are about 50,000 billion types of ships? Because this is fun.

Turkey: Images need review and revisal
North Korea Images need review and revisal
Ukraine Images need review and revisal
India Images need review and revisal
Greece Images need review and revisal
Syria Images need review and revisal
Iraq Images need review and revisal
Iran Images need review and revisal
Brazil Images need review and revisal
Indonesia Images need review and revisal
Pakistan Images need review and revisal
Canada Images need review and revisal

I'm most likely going to try and redo all the major nations or important nations. My goal is to put the correct counter part to the year along with accurate pictures of the tank. I will however be forced to make up a few names and find a few pictures that aren't exactly true

 

[novapaddy]

Very good work GermanPower!

Just one thing I don't understand, is why some of the images are 190 x 104 and some 360 x 160, you can do them all in the larger size if you want to.

I look forward to seeing what you have next. Cheers and WELCOME to the TEAM.

 

[novapaddy]

GermanPower is working hard getting the correct images for this mod. I am very grateful to him.

When I have a set of new images, probably just the tanks, I will do the fixes I promised to do. Probably in a day or so?

So if you see something that needs doing let me know in the next day or so. Thanks

 

[ModDayScenario2]

GermanPower has made a GREAT contribution to the mod. It takes a lot of knowledge to know the difference between models of tanks these days with so many of them looking so alike. It takes great stamina and effort to find the images too.

I'm sure we are all VERY grateful to GermanPower for his efforts. I'll now add them to the mod.

Your making me blush~ Also..only about half the nations have enough tanks to fill the slot a lot of these are me simply trying to fool you I'll be finishing up I think the tanks today. I might add in a couple more nations..most likely Egypt&Libya. I'll also be finding regional models to give you so each region has accurate tanks that they'd get from Euro counter parts. After that I wanna see if I can figure a way to add in monkey models so that Non-first world nations are given worse tanks. As they should..simply not having the industry to create tanks that really kick ass. I'm going to have to think how I'll tackle them too. The reality is all of the equipment these guys get from first world nations are much worse then the same tanks roll out from German, French, American, Russian production lines. Battle of Eastings is huge proof of this and so is the lend leasing of M1s in Iraq current as they are captured and destroyed easily because a lack of technological upgrades.

It seems a lot of the AA brigades and techs in this mod actually increase units' air vulnerability rather than decrease it

Thanks for reminding me.

I'm currently out of action, hard drive problems.

This mod is absolutely amazing. First mod ever installed for DH and I have no regrets for it, but I have some questions:

-How do you research modern warfare technologies? It says they're blocked for some reason.
-Is there an way to dissolve NATO or get nations out?
-Why are the MOABs and the Scuds so bad?
-Do you think it would be possible to add regular foot infantry, for main use in third world countries?
-Why are there no research teams with the new specialties in Europe? (Like Energy Sciences, Quantum Computing, Virtual Reality, etc.)

You have to have the industry required to support construction of such vechs. For example most nations simply don't have the industry to build advanced tanks. ITs a rigorous process and why most nations opt to buy modern equipment then produce it. Make sure when you hover over a tech you look at all the required techs

I'd assume because Scuds have been used in past combat with some effect but not massive. Its a tactical weapon less a strategic and DOH focuses on the strategic.

As for that I'd assume the teams haven't been brought into light. It'd have to be brought forward and added to them. Or because the point is to make it harder to research..that could also be true. Ask Paddy he actually knows, just my guesses.

Thanks mate. I just realized that the only technology I can't research is Fusion Power and it has no requirements. Do I need the Future Reactor technology for it?
Also, could it be possible to make research of industrial technologies slightly faster since the teams are not in yet? They're vital for many other techs, but they're a huge pain in the ass to research even when you are a superpower. The specially annoying ones are the Hi-Tech ones, precisely because there are no teams with modern specialties.

Edit: The thing that worries me about the mod is the fact that the game could become pretty stale from 2015 and on, because we can't predict the future.

I have quite a few ideas for tech. Superpower that being the US needs lots of help in that area. When Nova gets his issues fixed I'd like to start making it very realistic so that First World countries have a easy time getting shit together while third world face many issues but still have a path to rise up on. Theres a lot that needs fixed I'd say on tech tree. I'm not sure Novas anywhere near finished or started into this mod. I look forward to working with him to improve it and give the game a realistic and enjoyable experience. What I mean by started..as in really giving the 2015 a go.

As for the future. It depends. I've got plenty of ideas that could make the game insanely fun late game. Considering current event...its not so much predict but more so pathing out towards a overall goal. As in whats happening..whats important, whats going on? It depends on many things. Theres a ton to do. I wouldn't worry about that considering Kasiereich is totally made up, I don't see myself nor Paddy having issue with creating a interesting late game.

 

[novapaddy]

Hard drive all working again. Later today I will be going back to work on this mod, adding GermanPower's images and fixing the problems.

Anything you to tell me (about the mod!) you'd better tell me today.
