The E3 Map Project for Darkest Hour - 1000's of New Provinces

[novapaddy]

Oh, I don't want to port anything, at this moment in time I'd be content with the basics, like making new events and tweaking with the map/province ownership as these currently elude me. I would think this would be a good base to start on?

Just asking if there was any threads out there that act a tutorial for people like me to cut my teeth on a bit of modding

Well I suggest you find some events in dh that you think you can do better or possibly add something to, or even do a fork in the events to create something new?

Have a look in the modding documentation folder in the main dh game folder. See the event_commands.txt file. This explains ALL the commands.

Also switch on the error checker.. see the settings.cfg file in the main game folder, open it up, set the 0 to 1 where is says "Extra debug logs...." and this will be a great help, as if you do anything wrong it will ERROR in the savedebug file, found underneath it.

AND DON'T FORGET....

Other guys who went on to create great mods in their own right, started exactly like you are doing right now. Edge of Darkness comes to mind. Check that out.

I cannot check right now, but I think the regions are the same.

Ah cool just checking ,they are just with more provinces , I am just importing some events with region triggers.

Alright guys. Newbie here, been playing Darkest Hour for a really long time, read these threads for the same amount of time too but now i decided to intervene because i have a lot of questions:
1.Is there any date set that you expect that E3 map become fully playable with all the events and so on?
2.Is there any help you need? (I read a lot of stuff here and i understand around 80% of everything, so i might be useful)
3.Is there any way that we can incorporate Hearts Of Iron 3 diplomatic influences spectrum into Darkest Hour?
4.Is there any indication that a Modern Day Scenario could get a E3 map?
5.Is there any full and correct list of mods that currently use E3 map? Or if there isn't, could someone be of enough courtesy to present it to us?
I understand some of these questions might seem either stupid or inappropriate but if that is the case please may i get an explanation to where was i wrong so that i don't repeat the same in future.
Although I'm pretty much nobody to all of you I must say that everything that you do guys is pure gold, and you are making wonders. Please give us more of the same in future.

The sprites are normal for that version that you are playing. They were reduced in size to suit the smaller provinces.

What's the ID of this province? I've been trying to create a little mod, but I can't have this province be left out (it's a battle scenario). I tried putting in all the provinces of the US Seaboard area but this one still did not come along.

 

[novapaddy]

6582

 

[Korsteeni]

YES! It's working, thank you very much!

 

[novapaddy]

YES! It's working, thank you very much!

To find out for yourself:

Press F12 to get the console.
key "nofog" to remove the fog.
key "showid" to see the province ID in the bottom right corner.

Press Shift-F12 to remove the console.

 

[Korsteeni]

...okay, now that'll help me immensely. Thanks for the tip.

If you are playing a mod, you need to contact the mod owner and ask him about the counter graphics. It is nothing to do with the map. Well not as far as I am aware...

E3 map is only a map for modders to use. There is no intention to create events with it.

E3 map is complete as far as I know?

Hoi3 ?, you should ask the Devs in the Tech area of this forum.

There could be a modders working on an E3 map version of MDS, but if so they are keeping very quiet about it? I mean I doubt there is?

There is no list. Turning Point uses this map.

No. The Game is set on Warfare not on Diplomacy, also our current tasks are focused on different aspects of the Game

 

[mikey1871]

could someone please put the latest version of the E3 mod on the damn front page so new people or the people who buy new high end laptops can find this mod again without looking through a hundred damn pages!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[novapaddy]

I'm fairly sure that is the latest version on page 1. June 2015 sounds about right.

 

[Hännne]

May I ask why this mod also contains so much more files which are actually not dealing with the modification of the map?
