You know that HOI2 only goes up 1028 resolution, yeah? I haven't tested the exe hacks I've seen to alter the resolution. I will do that for version 1.1.

@Von Sachsen
Doing it this way with 7-zip files containing a winrar archive is a pain but necessary of my use of Rapidshare with their 200MB maximum size upload. I had already made the winrar file anyway. See below about a solution.

Text unknown? Check language setting for that in the ini file.

Can't paradrop or amphibious assault? You need the techs, but Enclave has those.

You can't do it in Wastelands even if Marauders take a province. Reason is that all nations have a military access treaty. You can move a sea transport into a province and the carried will automatically disembark and start a fight.

Don't worry, air drop and amphibious assault works with normal nations.

@Delta100
Sorry you're having these issues. Sounds like it's running now, yeah?

@Ghery, Delta100
Crashes you say? Damn! Let me play some test games here on my computer.

@kezardinjnr
Thank you. Yes, that's good help.

@Viden
See the below.

Installation Procedure
Everyone, I know it's currently a pain in the butt to install this mod!

First you have to put all three 7-zip files together, and then combine and extract them. You might have to read the documentation on how to do that.

Here is the link to get the program: http://www.7-zip.org/

You need a clean installation of HOI2 DD:A ver 1.2. Delete some folders as per the installation document. Then when you have extracted the mod winrar file that is inside the 7-zip files, open it with winrar and extract the mod files over the top of the clean install.

I will making an installer but you'll probably have to wait a week for that. I've got the flu right now. I will also host it on better file sharing sites than rapidshare. This was just an expedient measure.

Don't... ever talk to me... about... Filefront though... those b*stards keep deleting my files and sometimes it's happended without notification!



Cheers,
Sword

Try netload, hotfile or megaupload. Think it's kinda German, but u can upload really huge files and still get pretty descent speed. Sometimes even fullsped (netload).

btw... is the dark Cathedral supposed to kill off the former USA? They did so pretty quick in my game.

Afterwards, everytime I load the game a massive, kinda unrealistic propaganda/riot wave swapes through my WBoS territories, which led to me disabling the event in question. Very annoying. Think u should decrease the strenght of its effect. Once it let to a 40% dissent which I didn't found THAT entertaining actually
Also 3 revolting provinces are way too much as this event ALWAYS fires twice for me for some weird reason.

 

[von Sachsen]

OK, that was the problem, thank you and for some reason the language was set to french. :/

 

[kezardinjnr]

Howdy Sword,

Battlegrounds of Paradox may also be an option to host the MOD files :

Sword, hi and thanks for the instructions. I just downloaded it today. I still need to install it. As for the complaining I was happy with the download. I live in China and a bunch of those sites do not work here. Bopworld is good and I have access to it. Thanks again for all of the hard work. I know it is a labor of love for you and we really appreciate it.

Former USA. It has a lot of content and is quite powerful.

 

[SwordOfJustice]

@Everyone
Thanks for the bug reports. I'm checking it out now.

@Stahlwolf
I'll check that event out.

@von Sachsen
Aah, French ey? "I fart in your general direction." (It's a joke movie reference!)

@kezardinjnr
Thanks buddy, I might use them.

@Jarno
Hmmm... Former USA maybe? Enclave?


Cheers,
Sword

 

[SwordOfJustice]

@delanonne
Thank you!

@Vladimir Pavlov
VLAD! Hello! It's finally done.

Now it seems I have to bug hunt again. I might have to release a patch!


Cheers,
Sword

 

[SwordOfJustice]

So sorry everyone. I forgot to mention that you have to delete some game folders in my installation summary above and in the first post of this thread. It's mentioned in the installation document.

I've edited my posts above.

So if you not do that, you will to now put your save games somewhere safe, delete the specified folders, and extract the mod files over the top from the Winrar file again. Then put your save games back.

Cheers,
Sword

 

[Jarno]

alright playing the enclave now and will try former usa after this.

 

[Stahlwolf]

Ok, I'm at the point where Polarstation Zeta is on the rise. I actually don't want to ally with anyone (American Unity will btw never come into existence, since it got its arse wooped by the cathedral). Are there any negative effects, like missing some really cool events, if I stay neutral and go for "take on all of 'em"?
I mean, I am the Brotherhood, saviour of all of mankind, u know?

 

[SwordOfJustice]

Well, you will be at war with all three alliances. I'm unsure what will happen regarding American Unity. I hope it will still exist.

I had to cut my testing short or this mod version would never get released!

I've already found two minor bugs. One can be corrected and I've the first post of the thread with instructions. I'm now testing what happens to West BoS if DC wins the civil war.

Cheers,
Sword

 

[Stahlwolf]

Just noticed... either I'm retarded or the zeppelin air transports don't work as there is no load/unload-button, when my units are in the same province as the air transports (and yes, there are enough transports in the province to theoretically transport the troops in question).

Is this major alliances stuff fun at all? We've spent a lot of time on it, actually, so, I hope, it IS fun)

And what about new tech pictures with quotes? Any opinions on 'em?

 

[Stahlwolf]

Tech pics are nice, I recognized them and even read some of the quotes.

Well, the whole alliance thing seems kinda buggy to me.

F.e. I'm at war with the "major" factions (Zeta and Enclave) and with some of their minions, but not all of them (f.e. Vault City).

Another aspect that doesn't seem like intended is the fact, that minor factions who are being pounded by me rather quickly try to offer peace, which leads to me being at peace with the whole faction if I'd accept it.

Also the enclave tries to white peace me (they sit on their arse in alaska, but that's it. Redding was overrun by the NCR some time back, before I inherited it from the NCR.

Also I can't see the big alliances in the diplomacy screen like I'm used to from the vanilla game. There's still just "America".

Hope this helps a lil.

And seriously... where is that second Cathedral propaganda riot event hidden? If I ever find it, its torments will be vicious.


edit: btw... the actual current "major" factions in my game are WBoS (logical, as I'm playing em), Mutants and Dark Cathedral.

Zeta and Enclave are rather meh...

 

[Ghery]

One more thing: Polar station still spawns as PRK - at least for me.

 

[JRHINDO]

Havent tried out 1.0 yet. What is new for the robots?

Btw you should upload the mod to http://bopworld.org
An upload board only for Pdox mods!

Oh lol easter egg!

 

[Viden]

I extracted it but... Ehm... Is really necessary the 1.2? Because my oldest version of the game is 1.3.

 

[CakeIsBeast]

Sword do you think i would be able to just install this mod to AoD and it would work with minimal bugs?
