More Heroes 2.0

[danijocker90]

* Updated to version 1.1 *

After playing with the mod the names that i added do not look better than the original so i have removed them leaving only the huge amount of pics

I also have added an optional rule set that let you get 3 heroes before or by the time you get your first Knight Cross.

Enjoy!

I have a technical question but I feel that it doesnt make any sense to open a new thread.
Can we add heroes pictures for naval units?. The game award naval units but I want to add here pictures to them, its that possible?.

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

[danijocker90]

I havent tried but yes. At least i know they can have medals.
You have to know the unit class number like 0 for infantry and then add a line to the heroes file that set that for that class use X picture.
I used that to make some pictures to only work with tanks or bombers for example.

[Akkula]

Great, clear about Classes. but what about the Branch column?. It remains in 0 or its a different value for naval units?.

Thanks.
Akkula.

Good new guys, i have the new DLC Soviet Corps!

Hi!

Is it possible to become a 1.26 compatible version of the MOD please?

[danijocker90]

I dont see any problem of compatibility with the new patch. I havent played in a while, but to test the mod i started a new campaign and used cheats to speed it up and i got my first heroe before the 100 kills.

Do you think the kills needed for the first hero etc. are too high even with the cheat ?

If you ask about more heroes for allied troops, i have to say that i havent planned to add such stuff. sorry

Now i do not play so much PzC and if i think about upgrading the mod i should continue adding more different german heroes before even planning to start with allied troops. :/

Hope that answer any question or clear the doubts.

I asked, because both files "heroes.pzdat" from 1.25 and 1.26 have different Time Stamps (03.12.2015 v1.26 / 04.02.2016 v1.25). And yes, the older version 1.25 had the newer heroes.pzdat as the 1.26??!

mmm checking the changes they added some numbers for russian heroes that were missing, the interesting part is that i do not have pictures for those lines.

soviet ground 10 and 11

soviet air 7 and 9

those are now wroten but the file is still missing, at least for me. then i can think 2 options: the files are hidden somewhere else in the code or...you can unlock a hero for russia without a picture? weird if thats the case, maybe they will add another patch for those files in the future.

Okay, thanks! Will try that.

Why should we use with caution? What did you mean with that?

[danijocker90]

Because the version 1.2 shoud still work but the new patch adds soviet heroes without picture (at least thats what i see). If it was me i would keep playing with a game version that do not let you unlock a hero without picture.

But as i said maybe this is a new system that can award heroes without showing the picture in the "ui > heroes" folder. But i doubt it.

[Magic1111]

Okay, thanks for the explanation!

[danijocker90]

Some news guys,

1st - New update:

• Added 4 soviet heroes.

The pictures are from phcas mod so thank you pal if you read this.

• The cheat files now are in a standalone zip.
• This helps to backup files (i found myself with corrupted files after enabling and disabling a lot of mods)
  and also should let you use the cheat without installing the hero pictures. Just a cheat.

In another note...I started working with the idea of uploading a Waffen SS version of the mod. Do not promise nothing as i have to see if its a viable idea.

That´s a brillant idea!

Yes, but as i far as i know, the only way i see it can be done is by adding a Waffen SS nation.

It has his own heroes and icons. The units can be all bonus so the elites are limited or purchasable (dont know what is better).

But...and here comes the problem, that can't work well with custom content.

I have to edit the equipment to change the nation column and the scenarios of a campaign so the units can be rewarded as bonus or enabled to purchase.

For now the part of rewarding heroes of the waffen ss to the correct units works.

Do you guys use a lot of custom content? Custom campaigns?

The fastest fix is to add a map to the start of the campaign where you get like 3 elite units with the cheapest content (pz 3 f is the first tank to be unlocked in vanilla), like 2 infantry and 1 tank and you play with that...
but if you dont enable reform units you can lose them pretty fast for the whole campaign.

I will try to upload a first version for the vanilla content and maybe GC, and see how it works. Hope soon™

I found that if i add a new unit class i can easy edit the bonus units so get the custom heroes bla bla bla....but then they do not capture flags like if they are artillery ( o_o)
