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

[Akkula]

Hi Akkula!

Wonderful, wonderful!!! Many thx for your hard work!

Unfortunately I´m on vacation and I can play the MOD first at the Beginning of January!

Happy Christmas @ all!

Thanks Magic. Looking forward to receive your feedback

Confused with Massi's Mod. Am I supposed to copy the tile files from the base game into his mods tile folders and then put his mod in GME?

Hi Ducesettutamen. No, just apply the Massi mod as usual, with the GME tool, then Soviet Storm. Nothing strange.

OK. I'm having an issue where the mini map and hex co-ords display forest. However the map itself displays cities or clear terrain.

Installation
------------
1- I assumed you have installed GME and followed its instructions.
2- Unzip the folder "Soviet Storm (GME)" to the MODS folder in the Panzer Corps folder.
3- Unzip the folder "Soviet Storm (SCN)" to "\Users\YOUR USER\Documents\My Games\Panzer Corps\Mods" (Windows 7 route)
4- Run the GME Utility and apply the mods in this order: 1) Massi Tiles, 2) Soviet Storm. This is to allow the Guille´s Frozen Lake minimod to work properly.
5- Unzip and install (simply double-click over it) the font RUSKOF LIGHT.
6- Run Panzer Corps and be part of the Soviet Storm!!.

You play without Massi Tiles(MMDDMod1_11). Massi Tiles are not compatible with the vanilla tiles.
Read the Readme.txt file, from the MOD, for more details.

This is what I am running. Thats why I wondering if I needed to move any files manually.

[Anduril]

This is what I am running, and it works fine!
Have you this Mod-version downloaded?

ducesettutamen I think Anduril is right, you are not running the Massi "official" Mod. Please check the link I posted in the thread and the Readme file.

[ducesettutamen]

OK got it working. Figured out the problem. I moved the whole Massi mod folder into MODS. Had to take out the sub folder and move just that. Thanks gents. I'll get to testing.

[Akkula]

Happy to hear that!
I hope the Mod delivers. Good hunting.

You should be running WWI GOLD (2.0), not 1.0!

I'm currently busy with the Mongols, so I'll start playing this when the thing is fully released (rather than just beta)

Yes, of course! I´ll install and play the MOD in the first January week, because I come back home from vacation at 03.January 2015!

Now a little Tip from me: Please edit always the FIRST post of this thread with the actually Download Link and Status/News from The MOD! Background is, new Users doesn´t find this post: viewtopic.php?p=512983#p512983 after a longer time! The post with d/l Links are on page 10, actually we´re on page 11....and so on! Do you understand me what I mean?

Best regards my friend,
Magic

The paratroopers dont seem to be working i.e. they wont fly from an airfield hex. This is in the first two scenarion's (so far). Is this deliberate?. Thanks

[Akkula]

Hi Hugh, it is not intended. Its a mistake of mine, it seems I forgot to set the air transports....... And as I never think of use paras so early I never noticed it! .
I am fixing it right now, I expect to release a new version by January, but if you really need to use them I can upload an small fix for the scenarios.

Thanks for the report!

[hugh2711]

Another one, first scenario; In the scenario instructions it says to move '8 units' to....marked A. I am assuming It should say 8 CORE units as i fullfilled the DV conditions but only got a MV. Thanks

In the second scenario you may want to intentionally disable the paras as they would make it alot quicker and easier.

Very strange, it should be 8 Aux units from inside the pocket at the other side of the river. I am going to re check that condition

[hugh2711]

Third scenario; tallin: I could not get 6 units to A because - The prog would not let me embark any troops at all, core units or auxiliary from iether of the tallin ports. This meant i could not get a MV despite holding tallin completely. The 6 units being part of noth the DV and MV.
Also incidentally it spawned 12 panzer IVF's about turn 18 when it couldnt get into tallin.
I wonder is my installation stuffed? thanks

[Akkula]

You have to get the 6 transports to A, not to embark any core unit at all. The transports spawn thought the battle, you have to wait for them to appear near the Tallinn ports and bring them to hexes A.
Regards.

[hugh2711]

Ah, they didnt spawn at all.
Were they suposed to spawn on a particular hex that I had occupied?

[Akkula]

Wow, yeah, they should appear near Tallinn and and warning message should appear for every ship.... I will check again, in my test run I didn´t have any issue related to this. You are authorized to use cheat to bypass this!

EDIT: I have played the scenario first turns and the transport spawn is working (along with the messages), I wish more people could provide their feedback about this.

[hugh2711]

It might be my installation; i put the massi mod tiles in the appropriate graphics/tiles/ folder and the rest in the usual mygames/.../mods folder.
I dont use JGME as: despite following the instructions times I have never been able to get it to work plus it STUFFS my installation completely taking me hours to reinstall.
I dont have problems running other mods like battlefield europe.

Nice mod by the way, interesting maps!
