Need CORE 4.0 Despretly

[unmerged(155409)]

seriously guys, HOI2 without CORE is like tea without milk - a terrible abomination! CORE gameplay is just so so much better than vanilla and even though AoD has loads of features and improvements I'm finding it really hard to get into (simplified tech tree, ugly unit cartoons, superfast unit speeds... uurgh) and Just whacking CORE into the AoD directory gives a bunch of errors

is anyone currently working to move it to AoD?

 

[Funkeemonkey]

Agree

I gotta agree totally. Gameplay changes are great in Aod (production, tech, int) but it is quite boring without CORE stuff

 

[bestmajor]

then maybe you should ask for this at their forum?

We are discussing the move to port CORE over to AoD on the CORE forums. I myself am very keen to see this happen, but it depends on the rest of the development team. At it's present state HOI3 is still unplayable in my opinion, and I would love to see CORE for AoD so I have something to play while I wait for the patch/expansion that makes HOI3 playable.

The CORE team have started to focus on the CORE mod for HOI3. If we can manage to get some volunteers from the CORE dev team then we should be proceeding with it, although I can't promise anything at the moment.

Fingers crossed eh?

Core for AoD would be alot less work since most of the 4.0 stuff- art, GUI, can be ported right over, but yeah, fingeers crossed

I volunteer to help with balance testing.

I would follow the advice of bestmajor and post on the terranova forums here to voice your support for a CORE version of AoD:

As much as I love AoD I can't play it in Vanilla mode myself. I was spoilt by betatesting and playing CORE 0.40 for Armageddon and I just can't go back

I agree playing AOD with out core is tough..I have already been looking though the files and figureing out, what changes need to be made to let core work in AOD. I really don't think it will be that hard toget an unpolished version up and running. I have already started making list of what needs tobe done,but I am sure there will be suprizes. I am waiting on a wiki on AOD, to help me better understand the changes they made to the files that are modible in the game.

AoD without core is...weak . but i think that mod 33 will be better

I made a rough and ready CORE version for AoD this weekend. It will need some more detailed work, a review within the dev team and then a beta with some extensive rebalancing.

But it was less work than I feared (which makes me nervous, because things cannot be so easy).

But it was less work than I feared (which makes me nervous, because things cannot be so easy).

Well AoD is, by and large, the same engine. There are a lot of new and modified features, but I imagine things like AI and event triggers/commands/functions remain pretty much the same (haven't checked to confirm that myself - just been playing plain AoD and doing work IRL, so been a bit busy). Converting CORE to HoI3 will be a lot harder due to the new engine.

Anyway, I too hope to see a CORE for AoD. I played it a little bit on HoI2 and really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work!

guys I can't wait to see core on aod to buy it!! i am so disapointed with hoi3

 

[Tegetthoff]

You want to buy CORE? That puts a whole new aspect to our work!
:rofl:

Now look what you've done.

 

[Bl@ckVoid]

I think he's referring to buying AoD because of CORE.

On the other hand a meager pay-pal donation of $5 to website will speed up the conversion.

 

[unmerged(10338)]

yes core is really great..i used it from hoi to hoi-2..love the tech tree it is so detailed..

 

[Tegetthoff]

Ok, to keep you people generally informed:

There are now two devs working on CORE for AoD, el alamein and myself.
In parallel, some others are working on producing CORE 0.41 for ARM, which will be a polished and final version for ARM. Most CORE devs are concentrating on HOI3, though.

When we know how to properly transfer CORE to AoD (including balancing) and when CORE 0.41 is finished and when AoD has been patched as far as required we will put together a proper version, run a beta and release a fairly straightforward port to the AoD engine.

And then we will begin to really use the new features of AoD on something that is vaguely termed "CORE 0.50" at the moment.

Good Night,

Tegetthoff

Beta testers

Hi Tegetthoff has done an amazing job and managed to have a basic working copy of CORE 0.40 for AoD. There will need to be extensive testing for bugs/crashes/balancing and gfx issues. If any of you in the community would like to help us test CORE please contact (PM) Tegetthoff in the CORE forums - www.terranova.dk

We kindly ask that you need to be serious and dedicated to the testing and not just to get a copy of CORE to play. You can report any issues you find in the CORE 2 forums to help keep the reports in one place. I am setting up a thread there now to keep things streamlined.

Cheers
El Alamein

Hard work ahead, but this is going to be soooo good.
