IJA Campaign 1938-45, v1.0 plus install help available

[jugasa]

According to your symptoms, you must have a hodgepodge in your files.
Clear Panzer Corps completely and reinstall it.

I have reinstalled Panzer Corps completely (Wehrmacht, Afrika Korps, DLC39, DLC40 and DLC41) but it doesn't work.
I have installed from PanzerCorps-MultiSetup-130.exe I have downloaded recently instead of from my old physical DVD-ROM with Panzer Corps because it wasn't update to v1.30.
May be that you need Allied Corps add-on to be installed by I don't think that's the problem.
I have changed the name of the Panzer Corps folder from C:\Matrix Games\Panzer Corps to C:\Matrix Games\PanzerCorps but I don't think that's the problem.
I have installed Jone Soft Game Mod Enabler.
I have copied three mods to three different folders: IJA Redux, IJA GME 0.8 and IJA Campagin. In that order.
I have activate the three mods in that order.
At the scenario editor game engine confused Switzerland (nation #27) with IJA (nation #27 at the mod).
A cannot start the campaign because game returns me to the start menu.
There is no IJA (nor USMC) campaign file at morning sun icon.
What's more, if I want to start DLC39 with german side it changes think forest for jungle and the polish units disappear but at USMC it doesn't change anything.
I can't understand why IJA campaign doesn't work on my copy of Panzer Corps while others can play it.
The only thing that I understand is that is better to add entries instead of reemplacing entries.
Thanks.

Postdata (17/11/2018): I will try to download mod files again: perhaps I am missing something.

There are only 2 folders and not 3.

IJA v1_0 Redux Campaign must be copied to the My Documents / My Games / Panzer Corps / Mods folder.
It contains the campaign, the scenarios and the briefings. (Check the path, it may not be the same as mine, depending on your configuration.)
You do not have to worry about this folder anymore

The folder IJA Redux GME must be copied to C: / Slitherine / Panzer Corps / Mods
(Check the path, it may not be the same as mine, depending on your configuration.)

Load the mod with GME.

To launch IJA, go to other campaigns (like DLC) and click Asahi: IJA Campaign.

The files used with GME only relate to the IJA mod. You must not use them for another campaign. They concern the Equipment file and all related images and sounds as well as the new interface.
Take a look at the Panzer Corps Vanilla directory and then the GME IJA directory, you will better understand how a mod works.

Do not be discouraged, be patient and analyze what you are doing. If it does not work, it's because you're wrong.
It happens to everyone, it's called experience.

What about the Scenario folder?

Postdata (17/11/2018): Scenario folder only changes GUID.txt from previous folder. GME 1.0 changes about four files of GME 0.8.

[glaude1955]

I am sending you the GME file to unzip in the Mods folder
http://www.mediafire.com/file/v0257zoo9 ... _0.7z/file

and the folder for the scenars
http://www.mediafire.com/file/j716ltrmg ... gn.7z/file

You now have everything you need.

Thanks for your help and for your time.

Postdata (17/11/2018): Oops, its is 7-zip format... I think that files I had were on rar format. Maybe they are something different. I have already 7-zip so I can unzip new files too. Thanks again.
Postdata (17/11/2018): Yeah, this time different folders didn't overwrite anything for previous folders but it still doesn't work. I am going to read all commentaries slowly. But I will start with USMC Redux first because it seems to have appeared before IJA Redux. Slowly and step by step. Maybe I am missing something!
Postdata (17/11/2018): I have been watching entire USMC Redux topic and IJA Redux topic and I can't find an answer. It doesn't seem to be a problem with nations.pzdat unless game engine take information from original PanzerCorps\Data folder nations.pzdat. My scenario editor uses Switzerland flag (nation #27 at vanilla) instead of IJA flag (nation #27 at the mod). However, Equipment/FX/Campaign don't recognice more nations than vanilla but we must understand it is v0.8.5 so it is still a beta editor tool not finished yet. Well, if I want to play with japanese or marines I have to play DesignModProject-PazifikCorps but I don't like too much its very well done graphics and more because I am accustumed to original Panzer Corps campaigns and scenarios. I think I will play the Italian Campaign instead because I am tired of managing a panzer army.

You have a great mod, though it is not clear why there is no Japanese cavalry and artillery in the beginning is not what to move ) it Was possible to bulls and horses until Izuzu not appear in the army better than on foot )))

Japanese cavalry horses from World war II wore hats to protect them from the sun.

Hello, everybody.
I think I have found the solution for those who can't play IJA campaign mod.
I was looking at Panzer General v1.1 and I realised that at campaign.pzdat there is column missing.

IJA Campaign 1938-45

Asahi: IJA Campaign
PacificCampaign_1938_1945_IJA

So, I have added last column: "PacificCampaign_1938_1945_IJA".
Here is the file...

IJAcampaign.rar

(1.18 KiB) Downloaded 354 times

And now I can play selecting the IJA Campaign at classified files.
USMC Campaign has the same problem.

Don't ask me why the campaign appears five times.

Hi) Great more global plans ? Like the Japanese cavalry ?

Sorry, I am not the original modder of this campaign.
Only a player who has found a bug.
I have read that the modder hasn't got much time to continue modding.

It's OK, thank you!

I have been playing this mod for the first time this week. It is great fun, challenging, and educational. Bebro has a talent for blending history with challenging strategy and creating logically consistent campaigns. I have been playing on Rommel and have no problem following the historical/losing path.

My only problem is I do not know how anyone can get a DV on the Kokoda Track scenario. It does not seem mathematically possible because Port Moresby is 24 hex’s away from the closest deployment hex. Infantry walking unopposed (one hex per turn through the jungle) would find it difficult to reach the objectives in time. Add enemy garrisons entrenched to level 8 from the beginning and I am left incredibly curious how it could be possible.

I was aggressive, attacked with infantry (the majority of my forces) in multiple waves without artillery support (I think the enemy was as numerous as myself), tried sending units through the mountains (they only arrived near the heavily garrisoned port towards the end of the scenario), and used strat. bombers to take down entrenchment/ammo all in an attempt to expedite the operation.

I got a marginal victory while losing a couple of core units but had a great time and am looking forward to the rest of the campaign.

I just do not understand, mathematically, how people could get a DV. People seem frustrated with Khalkhin Gol’s difficulty yet this seems much worse at one movement hex per turn (Khalkhin Gol was much easier in my opinion, withdraw, let the tanks coalesce in the rough terrain/river, suppress them, and make them surrender). My force is mostly infantry, due to playing on Rommel, but I would think faster moving recon or tank vehicles would get destroyed in the jungle terrain as well as be unable to invade the city objectives.

I hope someone can enlighten me.

Well I would like to say thank you very much to Bebro for this incredible mod if he is still visiting this forum. I have been having very bipolar results and it has been a struggle to understand his vision for some of these missions. It has certainly been a wild ride but I feel as though I am starting to understand a little of the brilliant mindset that creates a mod like this.

There is a very deep and profound understanding of strategy and tactics incorporated within this mod. It is interesting how some modders focus on equipment, others on storytelling, graphics, etc. Mods might all look the same but you can see the modder’s interests in how they designed their scenarios. Someone who favors equipment might design a campaign where finding the right core is most of the challenge (you do not need strategy once you have the right “super” units).

This mod is very subtle. It is like an exceptional piece of piano music where you are enjoying notes you do not even know you are hearing. You have to play smart and execute good tactics/strategy. There is not a lot of equipment to choose from and no “super units” that will allow a player to blissfully rampage all over the map without concern to supporting fire, terrain, etc. It is somewhat amazing that this mod even exists considering equipment is usually the first thing a modder is asked about when announcing a new mod (e.g. “are you going to have glider tanks in your mod?”).

This mod is like a meal prepared by a great chef who only uses the most vital ingredients needed. It allows you to appreciate the greatness of the PC engine itself. This mod’s focus is entirely on equipment that provides a good ROI (I am playing on Rommel) and strategy/tactics. These are critically important concepts for WW2 in general and Japan in particular. What a wonderful mod that really demands careful thought. It also demonstrates how incredibly bold and innovative a country has to be when they are short on material (Japan did blitzkrieg by bicycle). Just brilliant.

There are a lot of reasons people play strategy games (a lot of which have nothing to do with strategy itself) and it is only reasonable for companies/modders to cater to these wishes (e.g. zombies in Call of Duty). I am just incredibly grateful Bebro created this his way (with his focus on strategy, terrain, logically consistent campaign, and number of enemy units instead of expending time/energy on other things or fan requests). It is a great mod and an honor to play. Tremendous mental exercise along with being great fun and educational.

Sometimes less is really more. Thank you Bebro.
