DMP Add-On "Ostfront"

[ewhitsitt]

i reinstalled the game in c:\games\Panzer Corps\ak same thing happened

[El_Condoro]

You have some weird stuff happening there!

Are you able to save anything (a document, whatever) to that My Documents\My Games\Panzer Corps\Save folder? If not, you may have a permissions issue.

[VPaulus]

...And I would move any file I might have in My Games\Panzer Corps\Save

You should never installed games in those places like my documents or my games, etc.
In some cases you shouldn't even installed in the default folders as "Program Files".
They should be installed on their own folders like El_Condor stated. Like C:\Games\Panzer Corps

In terms of Panzer Corps, it's a pity that people don't use more time the Generic Mod Enabler. It would avoid a lot of their issues.
I installed all DMP through GME. I just switch when I want Afrika, Winter or Ostfront. In terms of game usage and registry is better.

Vpaulus: I may be stepping in here with a can of worms, but reading above statement as to where the game(s) should be installed ????

When I dowloaded my original it went into "C\Program files\slitherine\Panzer corps\" This was on/in XP. My Win7 version went "C\games\panzer corps" explain that please ? Both seem to work fine and further addons and Downloads went smooth ???? I sthink ders a problem in Denmark ?

I'm not referring in particulary to Panzer Corps.
I've seen it mentioned so many times, many times in other games forums, that in case of Vista and Windows 7, some games shouldn't be installed in "Program Files (x86)" or "Program Files" folder.
I believe that is because of Win7/Vista's UAC. All folders that belong natively to the system have more restrictions. And there's some software that apparently doesn't work so well with those restrictions.
That's a guess, because to tell you the truth I've never delved into it. Mainly because I've always have done this.
So it's not related with Panzer Corps, which I believe doesn't suffer from any problem if it's installed in those folders.
But as a golden rule, it doesn't seem bad. Install your games outside "Program Files". Create your own "Games" folder.

I hope we have closed the can with all the worms inside.

i downloaded and installed Africa Corps and winter war the same way no problem. Why only ostfront i am having this trouble

[VPaulus]

I'm sure there must be something more.
From what I know about Panzer Corps and mods, is that it's a local issue.
That means it might have been caused by something that you've done.
I can't tell what. But what are you going through is only related with your system.

Consider in uninstalling everything, in case you've backups of your installers.
And install everything again.
Learn how to use GME, and install DMP mods through it.
That won't solve the wav issue, but the saving problem it might.
If it's working with the mp3 files, I can convert their wav files to mp3 and upload them for you.

[ewhitsitt]

everything is working fine except no game files to load after i save them. i have used the gme to install the dmp mods # 1 and 2 do i istall the ostftont addon then move it to my mods folder?
i can load the automatic saves tho and continue the game but it i start another game it is over written
can you please convert their wav files
Should i download the add on again? i already have 2 copies but sometimes during downloads interference can happen

[ewhitsitt]

i loaded the Ostfront add on with gme and guess what the saved files were there. thank you very much Mr.VPaulus you are a blessing here

Better post questions, remarks,etc about the Ostfront in the Ostfront thread.

To answer your question. The transports for the artillery units are already attached, you have to use the switch button.
You can also check out the english forum on DMP: http://www.designmodproject.de/forum/vi ... php?f=2034

True.
I've just moved the post relateds with Ostfront to the proper thread.

Very nice illustrations. Although here is a trivia question...where did Germany use Marine Commandos on offensive campaign?

Some other features:

New units "Marinekommando" and "Sturmpioniere"

Here you can see all German Marine-Infanterie Units

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gli ... terieM.htm

For sure they never use them in HGN, but Germany also never conquerd Leningrad, it is a game where you want and need a chance to win. Otherwise you´ll have to fight your final battle allways in Berlin.

Gerhard, I really enjoy and like your icons in your mods. Please at some point soon make some Russian Naval and Marine troops for combat on land. Love all you guys do. Keep up the work. And if you can get your guys to make the icons in light grey basic color, everyone can skin them in the DCS skinning mod we have. Flak

[DMPTeam]

Russian Marine-Troops will come in Army Group Center.

[flakfernrohr]

That is indeed good news. I have wanted some Soviet Marines and Navy for a while although I didn't realize they were on the front against Army Group Centre. Makes no difference, though. I'll still enjoy them in play.

[DMPTeam]

The military situation demanded the deployment of large numbers of marines on land fronts, so the Naval Infantry contributed to the defense of Moscow, Leningrad, Odessa, Sevastopol, Stalingrad, Novorossiisk, Kerch.

And in Moscow you will find them in our next campaign.
