New Projekt: Phcas & AKRebels "PAK"-Mod - RELEASE v3.30

[Ursulet]

Thx jeff. This is a big vanilla wechmacht campaign? What about the dlcs? I only play dlcs afrika corps, soviet corps etc. Will i still get the skin and animation? That's what i'd like to get.

[jeffoot77]

if you want to play DLC ou vanilla campaign, u have to use your normal game in your normal folder "panzer corps" , so your normal shortcut with normal "panzer corps.exe" . It seems like u have 2 games: panzer corps and PAK.

edit : and i use the same method for soviet corps 1.96 mod . Like this, zero problems.

i have installed the mod, i can play afrika corps with the new skin and all, but the dlc folder with campaign is empty, whioch, if i understand correctly means i cant play the grand campaign with this mod, i must use the standard mode.

edit: something went wronf, even in the first panzer corps folder, the dlc folder is empty when i execute the normal game.

i found that:

SMALL OR BIG SCENARIOS IN THE CAMPAIGN
In the Options folder you will find the folders “Campaign Scenarios Big” and “Campaign Scenarios Small.” The Campaign scenarios SMALL are the normal PC campaign scenarios reworked. The Campaign Scenarios BIG are new maps up to four times bigger with many more units and gameturns. The Campaign Scenarios Big 1939 Poland scenario is in the release of the MOD. Norway etc will follow with future updates.
With both, small and big scenarios, you can follow the existing Campaign lines.
The BIG scenarios will be in the MOD if you install it. If you want to play the SMALL scenarios you have to copy them out of the options folder.

i copied the small scenario folder to the pak folder but that didnt work.

Is not it better to write it to README to mod (Readme Update v0.45) How to put what to put and so on ) ?

[asuser]

A little bit confused, for the right content you need the big vs. 044 and over there the little update vs. 045.
That's why i want to repeat my wish:

It would be nice to put a general installation guide in your first post. I found some tips between the hundreds of pages... but I'm not happy with that. You could split the instructions between PC Gold / Steam and a standalone installation.

i had to reinstal panzer corps as i havent figured out the "SMALL OR BIG SCENARIOS IN THE CAMPAIGN" part, and remove the pak mod, even though it looked great, if i cant play the gc 39 and on, its not convenient.

Did you try the two copies/folder approach, i.e. one for the base game including all standard DLCs, and one for the PAK mod?

Re PAK mod, you need to keep in mind that the guys do incremental updates, so you need to copy smaller updates over once in a while.

We had some discussions on the two folder approach recently, works perfectly IMHO. Let me know in case of questions:

Good evening, everyone.
I'm fortunate to have 2 hard drives in my computer, so I solved the problem like this:
1) I installed Panzer Corps Gold (Steam version) on disk C
2) I have copied the Panzer Corps directory to D:/Games/Panzer Corps
3) I play Panzer Corps without any mods on C
4) I have installed JSGME + the mod of PHCAS and AKrebel on the disk D
5) I play with PHCAS and AKrebel's mod from disk D
I don't have any conflicts since only one installation has been done (checked in install/uninstall a program).
If a mod is badly installed or there is a conflict, I can delete what's on disk D and start the operation again.
For people with only one hard disk, it is possible either to create a partition of the disk (it seems to me), or to create a folder named Games and do the same manipulation as me.
Good evening and greetings from France.

Good evening, I had two folders, one with the pak and one w/o. But somehow, after installing the pak mode, all GC folder in both pak and normal games were empty. I have everything else, like SC, AK, new vanilla mode or wechmacht mode, all except GC.

Tomorrow, i will try again, creating a partition and installing the pak mode on it. And will keep updated.

Hello!!
I did the same and it works perfectly. Best choice is a new copy of PC directory in which apply the MOD.

Really a great job on this MOD. I´m playing the grand campaign again using all the new units and certainly PC has been upgraded to a complete new level due to PAK MOD.

Regards,

David

i reinstalled the game on the c drive. then created a folder games on the D drive, copied the panzer corps folder into it and then applied pak mod and the 0.45.

i can play eveything, i have all the graphics and all new maps from the pak mod, i can play afrika corps, soviet corp etc... but the "more campaign" folder is still empty meaning i cant play the gc39. i copied the small scenario folder to the pak folder but that didnt work.

and then if i go back to the C drive and play the normal panzer corps, there also the "more campaign" folder is empty. there is something i am doing wrong but i dunno what.

ps: i love the fact that i can now use the SPAA against infantery and tanks.

DLCs are declared in the Windows Registry
It is much easier to use JSGME.

2.) extract the PAK-Mod and copy the contents of the folder "Panzer Corps" into the folder "Panzer Corps PAK-Mod": You have to allow some files to be overwritten. Please always use the latest full version plus all subsequent updates.

Optional:
Create a shortcut to the "panzercorps.exe" file from the "Panzer Corps PAK-Mod" folder on your desktop and rename it to "PAK".

Thanks AKRebel,
with your version JSGME my implementation is as follows:

I take the individual files from the PAK v.044 full version and put them into a playable mod pack (PAK Play).

But I don’t load map content within the Data file, otherwise my screen remains black.
Now I load this PAK Play with JSGME over my PK Gold Steam installation. It works without a separate installation or partition
for the vanilla campaign, SC and AC!

Great stuff!

My only concern is for the grand campaign that disappeared. Everything else is working fine.

[PeteMitchell]

With this two folder approach, GC should not/usually does not disappear from the base installation folder, i.e. something is not as it is supposed to.

On the other hand, GC may not appear/may not be playable when you open the game in/from the PAK folder (as it is a mod).
