Project: Mod 1914 for AOD

[Arturius]

Because there wouldn't be any improvement by only converting the mod to AoD, I decided to expand my project. I want combine a first release of Mod 1914 for AoD with a major update. The update should include a new map, new AI, overhauled setting and maybe an extended tech-tree. First of all I will work on the scenario 1914 only. Here from time to time I will present the progress.

Progress diary:

#1 SFX, Music, new brigades and map progress.
#2 Naval Tech-tree

If you want to help, here are some construction zones:

- I need someone who could me give advises for expanding the techtree and someone who is able to modify the techtree.
- Many countries need techteams, ministers and/or leaders.
- Many pics are missing (techteams, ministers and/or leaders).
- Is there anybody who could give detailed informations about china and chinese warlords (ministers, government)?
- A little brainstorming is needed regarding national ideas. I think they have to be modified for the Great War.

Thanks a lot for this. I wouldn't know enough about the game to help with your problem, but I really hope you find a solution.

I don't know whether this is your issue or not, Arturius, but I've found that it's not sufficient just to rename the old leader files when modding AoD. The system still reads that file even if it's inoperative in-game and so will register your new leader file as repeating the IDs that it uses. If you take the file out altogether (obviously back up to desktop or a backup folder) the problem disappears.

I said that is work in progress and I didn't say that is an ultimate solution. I want to work on it together with the community. I modified some files to make it work with AOD, that was my work.

Before I copied the mod to the AoD-folder, I have deleted the vanilla-leaders of AoD to prevent duplicate leader-IDs. After I copied the mod (with 1914-leaders), nevertheless I got the error message. But I can't find duplicate IDs in the files of 1914.

Sorry, but I'm surprised by this. Did you take any part of my post as a criticism or put-down? It certainly wasn't intended that way and I apologise if I didn't make that clear.

DAIM and 1914 are the best mods for Arma and I really look forward to seeing it working on AoD.

 

[az_1k]

Glad to see if this mod working. I dont play arma anymore.

Any news?

I've done some tinkering with this, it seems like the leader IDs are the error that is being thrown at startup, but I don't believe that's what the problem really is. If this game had a savedebug.txt, we might be able to find out more...

However, I've found that with some or all leader files included, the game will crash after one game-hour, while without them, it will crash at the end of the first day. Does this fit with what everyone else has?

1、I change some leader ID which from message "Leader ID already used", and load game with no message, but CTD whan events happen。

2、I del all leaders in the folder,and just use one leader file---german.csv(change ID at 272 (21526)),game work fine.. So i think,test leader file one by one ,,,fools ideas。

As there you seem to have some Problems with Leader and so, I may could help you! I really love history and know a lot about WW 1 and 2. And I own 2 great books from a Expert for Military History (WW1 Book about 1500 Pages) (WW2 Book 2500) they include all names of Leaders, Ships, and so on. They report each day - each battle and important facts for bouth wars. So if you need information - just say.

At this or by finding missing pics (minister, techs, leaders), techteams, minister, help is welcome.
Some countries need government or/and events for changing government. First of all only for 1914 scenario. So, be patient because I am nearly alone. If you want to help, send me a pm.

@ Arturius,

Yes, it is.

How these books call? Are there overviews, OOB, statistics etc. in there? Especially I need informations about leaders/officers of the British Indian Army. Could you help me?

Hi bouth books are written by Janusz Piekalkiewicz. I own them in a German Version: Der Erste Weltkrieg / Der zweite Weltkrieg (The first World war ....)
I don’t know if they have ever been translated but i think so as there they are really great. (You can google him)
They deal with the military history of bouth wars. And tell like no other books the things happend. They deal with army - navy - airforce and tell in detail what happened on each single part of the front. You can see troop’s strengths – List of Ships … .
If u use them wisely you also can make mods much more realistic as there u see where national armys really had been good in. The German and theire tanks is such an example (2. WW) never had been that good in it – it was they way they used them. This could help for research.
You also can find toons of informations for good events. And so on.

greets mike

PS: Arturius - I will help u for sure - just give me detailed orders or information what u need. and i will do my best.

#1: SFX, Music, new brigades and map progress.

1. I changed the sfx. Now the sounds fit in the timeframe of WWI (for example think of the aeroplanes sound). Also I replaced the music tracks with ones in high quality. But i kept the former compilation.


2. I completed the implementation of new brigades. Now it is possible to add brigades of some types of infantry (standard, mountain, reserve). Furthermore I splitted the police brigade from amoured train. The cavalry brigade has a correct icon now. Next step is to to rework the OOBs. Is there a need for any other brigades?

Old (version 0.51)

New

It outruns the window




3. Thanks to the E3-Map Project. The map is nearly done. Reworked some issues, e.g. Arabia and China. I use the colorscale of Mod33 (I will ask koenig for permission later). Next step is to convert the settings of resources, industry and infrastructure.
