This mod is the result of a long-planned undertaking to merge mods:
- Arms, Armistice, and Revolutions (AAR) by Burning and Limith, which according to its creators, "links the 1914-Scenario to the classical 1936 grand campaign, thereby offering half a century of pure political, economical and social turmoil to play. It takes care of guiding the major powers of WW2 so they can then pursue their individual, (a)historical paths in a new, great War."
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...-Arms-Armistice-and-Revolutions-Announcements

- New World Order 2 (NWO) by Bizon, which to quote myself, "is a mod which task is to provide compelling reason to keep playing Darkest Hour after 1945 at least until planned end of timeline in 1991. (...) The task of the mod, once again, is to recreate all the plausible venues in which the World War 2 could have ended, and experience the darkest hours of the Cold War era."
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?561583-New-World-Order-2

With Darkest Hour Full developers concentrating on 1914-1918 and 1933-1945 timeline, AAR mod covering Interwar era and NWO mod taking care of the times of the Cold War, the resulting merger offers the possibility to replay almost 80 years of war and peace (1914-1991), creating many possible avenues of historical development.

While creating a working version of such a combination out of recent versions of each mod would be feasible, it would be an arduous task to update it along with development of each mod. So I took another route and created a program to use source files from each mod and merge them on the go. This way anyone can create their version of this mod out of available files.

Installation

Please follow instructions in the setup program. Note that you must have ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll in the same folder where you run setup executable from.

Note that you may install mods either from ZIP files directly (7z files not supported) or from folders where they are extracted. If you point to the mod source (ZIP file or a folder), you have to ensure that the selected source represents the root level of the mod folder. I.e. it should contain "ai", "config", "db", "gfx" and such folders exactly in this location.


After the installation, you may try out the following pack of fixes to the Grand Campaign: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?774232-Grand-Campaign-Fixes-V0.1, by dskod1

I'll try this, though you should also add NWO and E3 into the mix eventually.

EDIT: I actually meant E3 and New Nations for DH

:) When the dust settles and maybe I get some bug reports of things to solve, I'll redo the interface of the setup program. On a second thought, the installation process is quite clunky when I looked at it in its entirety, so some nice utility with proper UI will be in order.
 
I cant install it, aparently it misses the file nwo/db/minister/minister_personalities.txt.

Currently using DH 1.02, AAR downloaded just today and NWO 191 (the last one compatible with 1.02).

Any tips?

A couple of versions in retrospect is too much for me to remember that minister_personalities.txt didn't exist in NWO back then. :] I'll post a fix in a while.

EDIT: nachopontmercy, I uploaded the fixed version as gc_test2.zip and updated the link. It should work now.

If this works, Bizon, you may well have won the internets :)

Thx Bizon, always so helpful! Ill try it in a couple of days as now Ive got tons of work to do ! :(
 
Okay, played one or two shortish games already and beginning to notice a few problems, but that was to be expected :D

For example

db\ministers\*.* - Entries from both mods are merged with DH Full files, as long as they don't create duplicates.
db\ministers\minister_personalities.txt - NWO version is used.

Any Ministers from the 1914 scenario die at 1933 and any Ministers from the 1933 scenario start at 1933 and obviously die at 1964.

Obviously it would require someone far more dedicated than I to do the research and alter the artifical birth/death dates for these ministers.

Also i'm convinced that some event chains are messed up (provinces, nations and minister ID's), specifically the League of Nations and the Financial crisis, but i'd have to play AAR a few times to actually confirm my suspicions. Having said that though to got an economic recovery event as Nationalist Spain late 20's which gave me factories in Bruge and Amsterdam.

Otherwise, no major problems ... woot!!!!

Also while i'm suggesting that other people do the work while i reap the rewards a few requests ;)

1) Economic development chain from, i think, TRP which can potentially alter the resources produced in provinces.
2) Remove the Old Guard tag from all leaders and then add it back, via events tied to the military doctrine tree, during the games progress.

Cant install it, now ive got an error about ministersu48 even with the patched Grand Campaign release. But dont worry Bizon, I assume it is because I am still using DH 1.02, so Ill try abandoning my reluctance to update to DH1.03 beta and try again with the new version :).

In fact, ill just copy the game into a new folder so I can play 1.02 and 1.03 with no problem!
 
Its nice,but mobilisation-prolong services desicions really doesnt work

PS Of course im playing 1.3 rc2
