Eastern Front: Soviet Storm v1.96b (Link Fixed)

[VonThueringen]

In case the modder is reading the thread, I always meant to ask. It seems like Rugged Defense comes much more often than in the base game, even for low entrenchment values (2s or even 1s). This is for the Forgotten Battles campaign, I didn't check the big maps as big scenarios are not my cup of tea. Anyway, have you changed the values in the rules? Is this even something that is moddable?

Great mod BTW, even though I tend to throw things on the screen every time a pesky undefended artillery entrenched at 1 throws me a Rugged Defense message.

Hello imp44791,
Ahh, the Rugged Defense thing again. I remember this question from many years ago
Well, the answer is: no, I didn't change any setting related to this event. I never managed to found the cause of recurrent Rugged Defense events, but it was never intended from my part.
Unfortunately I have no answer to that. Maybe, some day, I could check all the mod stat files and see if I can find some glitch. But at the moment I am fully committed to Modern Conflicts, so I have no time to work with my old friend Soviet Storm .

For now, I suggest you to use all the mighty of the Soviet artillery to obliterate any German positions

Best regards,
Akkula.

what are the pre requisites in order to get an elite unit? im at the dniper crossing mission and i have gotten 3 this far.
have replayed the last 3 missions but havent got any new one.

Hello Gaius21,
Sorry for the late reply. I missed your post.
Elite units are randomly spawned across the campaign. As you progress through the campaign, your Elite Units roster is slowly increased, allowing you to receive more precious units.

Best regards,
Akkula.

Hello Akkula,

I saw that there are a lot of great Scenario maps. Why did you not include them in the Campaign, and is there a way to add them myself into it?

How would one go about using the units in this mod in the normal Soviet Corps campaign? (if such a thing is actually possible).

Prescribe everything you need in the hops of the game)or contact the masters of this game, they will tell you how to transfer the unit from the mod to the original game)

Hi!,
The problem is that most of the campaign scenarios are heavily scripted and balanced in order to give the player a proper challenge.
To "convert" them into stand alone scenarios it would require to rework them. That's why I didn't do that in the first place. If you want to do it, you can edit them and then place them in the scenarios folder in "My Documents/Games/Panzer Corps".

How would one go about using the units in this mod in the normal Soviet Corps campaign? (if such a thing is actually possible).

That would require to put some specific files from the mod into the vanilla game. Right now I can think of: equipment file, unit icons, efx file, big pictures.
I don't remember if the equipement file is 100% compatible with vanilla game scenarios. Guess you could try it out (make a back up the original files first)

Best regards,
Akkula

Now Im confused, i think you misunderstood me. I meant If its possible to integrate the standalone maps into the campaign. I think you understood the other way around...(?)

Do you want to play Soviet corps with cards from this mod but with vanilla original units? Where would it be better if in this mod it was possible to play each card in the section according to the scenario as a single with the possibility of playing both for the Germans and for the Soviets )

Ohh I got it now.
Similar situation, in order to add those scenarios to the campaign, they do require some adjustments anyway.
Also, another factor to keep in mind: dates overlapping. Unfortunately, not all battles can be played in the main campaign as historically they took place at the same time.

Best regards,
Akkula.

Nah, why should he? He laid the awesome groundwork for it. Without him, I wouldnt have been able to mod anything in the first place!

Приветствую всех.

Привет ! Такого кода на сколько я знаю не существует можно менять сам ехе разных версий но и то сохранения например сделанные в версии 1.32 не работают в 1.30 или 1.31 ) , будет черный экран и опции карты .....

Hi ! As far as I know there is no such code, you can change the ehe of different versions, but even then, for example, saves made in version 1.32 do not work in 1.30 ) , there will be a black screen and map options .....

[Estherr]

As far as I'm aware, Soviet Storm campaign and standalone scenarios works perfectly well with 1.32. Only "The Motherland Calls" big scenario is glitching like crazy on script side. Though I do not remember "stable" .exe version it work well with.

ps: I believe Akkula had plans to update the scripts to match 1.32 one day... but it was low on priority list.

[artemkeycell1322]

Yes, but i want "The Motherland Calls" only:)
By the way - just wipe out steam install, reinstall and you will got 1.30. So, let's start...

[gaius21]

Hey, i would like to ask why there arent any lend-lease units available for recruitment in the forgotten campaign missions, the only one i have seen thats available is the american scout car.
