Unit Toolbox Mod

[SirAllan]

just a quick question, how do I get this Mod into PC2 (I have only implemented some from steam) ?

[Ezequiel1996]

Probably all the prototypes for CL, as im currently working on 1939, would be great if you could do some Polish extra units to add them to the maps

just a quick question, how do I get this Mod into PC2 (I have only implemented some from steam) ?

1. Open up your File Explorer, or whatever equivalent you have.
2. Go to Documents>My Games>Panzer Corps 2
3. You should see a 'Mods' folder in the Panzer Corps 2 folder. If you don't, make a 'Mods' folder.
4. Extract the mod from the RAR file it's in, and place the extracted file into the 'Mods' folder.
5. Boot up the game and check the Mod Manager.

Poland is on the list. I might do it alongside the Soviets, who are the next major I'm working on. The reason I don't want to work on Minor Nations too much until I get the Majors done is that a lot of equipment used by Minor Nations is equipment they acquired from the Majors. So by waiting until the Majors are mostly finished, in theory some Minors will just need a bunch of copy/paste stats.
Poland though, I think is one of the nations with a lot more unique and Polish made equipment.

Edit:
For the record,, Italy is third on the list (Unless Pacific gets released before I get to it), and I do plan to work on the Spanish lists alongside it, since at that point I'll have all 3 of the major suppliers finished.

Great news!
Also i need to check if units that are in my editor equipment file are compatible with other people's game. Or if they need to modify their equipment file in order for it to work properly.

I got that (somehow my follow up answer didnt get recorded) so my next question was allso lost.
When I use this interesting mod there are no artillery models only antitank models, how come?
And some models look odd - a Flak I look like a Marder !!!

I'm not 100% sure what exactly you are asking about regarding the Artillery, do you mean how a lot of them reuse unit models?
If so, it's an unfortunate side effect of the game not having any way to add in new, custom unit models, and a lot of the German Artillery being relatively similar in appearance.

As for the Flakpanzer I, to quote myself from earlier:

For the Marder Is and Flakpanzer I, I elected to focus more on how the superstructure matched as opposed to size of the model's gun.

So yes, it is using a Marder Model, for lack of a better fitting model.

[SirAllan]

I couldnt buy any artillery pieces at all cause the Artillery Tab in the Purchase Units Tab didnt exist - but I have located the problem.
The problem only exist (sofar) in the mod: "PC1 Grand Campaign -steam-"

[Stormchaser]

Ah, that seems to be a side effect of the fact that for some reason Mods, even theoretically independent mods like a campaign mod and a unit mod, apparently don't always work well together in Panzer Corps 2.

Hence why Ezequiel and the rest for the PC1 and SOE team are planning to integrate Unit Toolbox into Storm Over Europe.
Not sure if they plan to do it with PC1. I do know that the PC 1 campaign has a few molded units, so that might be where the conflict is occurring.

Yes we will, but it is not one of our prios right now haha, since for PC remake we would need all of the units completed for each faction :S. We will try to add at least germany, but it can be a problem because we don't know if it would interfere with the campaign itself.

[SirAllan]

looking forward to the integration of Unit Toolbox into Storm Over Europe

i just captured 5 infantrie and got them as captured unit. playing with limited stock. i don´t think this is supposed to happen

What kind of Infantry did you capture?
...I'm guessing Heavy Infantry since they technically become Artillery in Mortar Team mode...
Might need to list that as infantry as well then...

Then I'm not sure what happened. Wehr Infantrie shouldn't be affected by the current version of the mod...

Could it have something to do with Limited Stock?

my guess its the combination of ur mod and limit stock. it didn´t happen when playing with limited stock without ur mod. not exactly sure what unit values get changed by limited stock.

A new update for Unit Toolbox is being released a bit earlier than initially planned, as some people from the Storm Over Europe mod team requested I work on Poland for their 1939 campaign. As such this update will contain Poland's revamped unit list, as well as the Infantry and Tank branches of the Soviet list, which I had been working on before they asked. In addition, a new Heavy Horse Transport has been added to allow all nations a transport that can tow equipment the regular Horse Transport cannot.

Bugfix: An issue with AA guns not firing properly should be fixed.

Important Notice: Using some custom formulas, I have rebalanced Prestige Cost and Slot Size of units from nations I have modded (So, currently, Germany and Poland, plus the Infantry and Tanks for Soviets and some shared transports like the Horse Transport.) Unless it causes problems, I will be using this rebalance going forward (Said rebalance is subject to change though.). This was implemented so that I wasn't just assigning Cost and Slot Size semi-arbitrarily to new units. The formulas have had a side effect of making things generally more expensive, particularly early war equipment. Tanks that cost around 100 Prestige now may cost 200, for example. For now, I consider this not to be a problem, as a big complaint I've noticed on the forums is that it's too easy to build up large amounts of Prestige, so in theory this will help curb the runaway Prestige gain to some extent.

Just a notice to anyone that downloaded the most recent updated file before now, I may have messed up the AA bug fix and made it worse by spreading it to other AA guns. I redid it, and it should actually be fixed now but you'll need to redownload.

Thank you for your work. I've been looking at the changes in tank stats in a cursory look at and I really like the improvement in the tiger's offensive and defensive stats while reducing its mobility a lot!

Is it possible in the future to introduce the option of, for example, the Panzer IV H/J tank costing 1 slot less in 1944 due to its much high production historically? The same could be with the Panzer III, which was historically used as early as 1943. Reducing the slots of the selected weapon over the years could encourage the player to continue to use it in the game. I can certainly think of Panzer III and IV tanks, but I think that experts like you will indicate other types (maybe the reduction of the Panzer II slot in 1941?). Thank you for listening to my opinion.

hello, sorry but all Anti-air units doesn't works
