Scenario Design Help Needed

Post by TigerTiger007 »

First I want to say thank you to everyone who creates a mod and takes the time to make icons for the units. I have been playing Panzer Corps for many years now, I own all the DLC (Afrika Korps, Soviet Corp, Allied Corps the GC, Sealion and even the US Corps) I have beat them all. I just discovered MODS this week. I was in the forums reading about Panzer Corps 2 and came across Mods and Scenario Design and now I am hooked.

I have downloaded a few and it is hit or miss on which ones work. The Italien Campaign v2.0 worked (except when I lost corps infantry the first two scenarios I was unable to buy replacements) but that was okay, it was very fun to play and I liked the colors in the units. The real flag Mod worked. The IJA Campaign by Bebro never worked at all, I could not get it to open and when I went into Editor instead of Japanese units I had Australian and Swiss and random ship transports on land... I sent him a PM but am waiting to hear back. I am using the jsGME and have the files in the correct places, I did notice that the numbers he originally used for different units match the numbers PzC uses for the units it is displaying, so I changed all his numbers to start after the numbers used in my equipment file, but still cannot get the Japanese units to work nor show up in Editor to use.

I have some questions, and as I am new to the Editor and using Mods please be as detailed as possible in your answers.

First, how do I add Bebro's Japanese units (or any new units for that matter) to the game so I can use them in editor and create my own scenarios and fix his so I can play them? It looks like a fun campaign and I also want to create some of the battles he did not include and create a campaign from the American side. I can see them on my equipment sheet and I have all their icons in my graphics folder, but they will not show up in Editor nor in the games.

How can I add a Kubelwagen as a German Recon vehicle so I can use it in Editor and even add it to the game? (I already made the US Willy's Jeep playable by making it purchasable and even switched the price to 75 so you don't get angry when it gets killed). I do not see the Kubelwagen on my equipment list, how can I add this so I can buy them and use them as cheap recon? (I was thinking of copying the Jeep stats for it to make it easy but I tried that last night and it does not show up in Editor nor in the game anywhere.)

Any help is appreciated.

I know what I did wrong with the Kubelwagen, I forgot to change the country code... ha ha ha! That was my fault, I opened up the US Recon to screenshot the Jeep for you guys and there was a Kubelwagen too! I got that figured out, however when I go to purchase it it does not show a photo in the purchase screen... of course the same thing happened with the StugIIIA I made purchasable. Those are minor things I am assuming I need to tell the purchase scree which unit icon to use?.

As for the Japanese units though the game and the editor do not recognize them at all. Do I have to add each one separately?

In particular, a guide i wrote back in 2012 to add new units:

Thank you, I am already using Dwight's to customize units. It is what I used for my Dunkelgelb StugIIIA (I created a hero StugIIIA for the Barbarossa Scenario). I for some reason can't get any of the Japanese units from the IJA Mod to work in Editor or in the game.

You are a genius! I used your guide, and now I have Japanese and Marines! Good thinking to create it as my own mod. I still can't get the campaign to work right but I can now plug in units and create a scenario.
