Update v1.13 out now

First impression of the Master Campaign that replaces the Tutorial Campaign. You can start the first (Poland) scenario but it's not finished. You can have a impression. Next update you can play the scenario.

Special request

Ju-88 A17 Torpedobomber
He-111 H6 Torpedobomber

Hello Phcas,
First of all, thank you for your excellent work and efforts on this great mod. I know this is still work in progress and there is also surely much work to do.
I am starting with the main campaign with the first mission: Poland. I had much fun with your version of that map.
There are missing big unit pictures: All Polish infantry units and the newly introduced Bf-109 B1 fighter
Keep up your fantastic work!

Hello Phcas,
it continues with the 2nd mission: Norway - a really good one!
There are also many missing big unit pictures: FJ sMG 40, Kfz-13 Adler, SdKfz-221, SdKfz-222, 47 mm 47/37 (i), Panzerjäger 1B, SdKfz-7/1, VW Kübelwagen, SdKfz-251/1B, SdKfz-251/7C, SdKfz-251/4C, VW Kübelwagen (MG), Ju-88 D1, Bf-109 C1, Bf-109 A0, MG-34 Zwilling, Mercedes Flak, Opel Flak 38, SdKfz-10/4, Bf-110 C4, HS-123 A1, Bf-108 B1 Taifun, Zündap KS 750, Aufklärung (as far as I can see)
Furthermore:
- Upgrades within a product family e.g. Bf-109 family should be cheaper and only cost the difference between the units to be upgraded
- sMG 40 FJ has no movement sound and should have the MG attack sound.

Hello maho1973. Nice that you like the MOD. I know all the thing missing that you name. Time....time....time.... but, because you took the time to work it all out and write it down I will fix everything you name in your 2 posts with priority in the next update.

Thanks and greetings PHCAS

Hello,

I need a little help. I am replacing the "tutorial campaign" into a master campaig. Two questions:

1 I do not see a option screen at the beginning of the campaign, all other campaigns have. why?
2 A strange comma appears (see picture)

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Greetings PHCAS

I have the solution of the question n°2 (2 A strange comma appears (see picture)).

Normally, you have the name of the scenario at this place. Example :
The raison is simple, your first scenario (MC_Poland) has no name :
Here is a example with the name of the scenario (Medenine) :

Hello Terminator,

Thank you very much. The comma issue is fixed now. (So simple I must shame myself)

Does anyone know why the option menu is missing at the start of the scenario? Must I be in shame again ?

Very difficult question.
It seems that the Tutorial Campaign is a campaign to part to the Wehrmacht campaign.
Maybe that a solution would be to delete this Tutorial campaign and to add to the place a button for a new campaign ?
Maybe it is possible to add a new button for a new campaign in the game menu ?
It would be necessary to modify in these case the file gamesetup.htm :

I had a similar problem with a campaign I've been playing. I took all the DLCs (plus some from the MPC '35-'39) and put them in one long campaign but started with the tutorial scenarios to start building my core. I didn't have the options at the beginning. I removed the tutorial scenarios from the campaign.pzdat file and started with Nikivdd's "Battle of Teruel". After removing the tutorials, then the options page showed up. I'm not sure why it worked that way and not with the tutorials; it could be a hard-coded thing. Another strange thing is the campaign shows up in the "Classified" folder (new game menu) even though the campaign file is in the data folder, not the DLC folder. Not sure if any of that helps you but it seems to be related. Good luck with your mod.

It seems that Terminator has beaten me to it. I type too slow

It is just a hypothesis, I am not really sure that it works.

We can see of what some modeurs managed to make with the game menu :

Thanks cw58 and Terminator. Tried a few things with the campaign.PZDAT and the gamesetup. Didn't work. I think there are more links with the name "tutorial". Things mix up when I replace the name "StartTutorial" to "Master". I have to work now. Try it later again. Thanks for the help so far

Greetings PHCAS

Now, it works
It seems impossible to add a new campaign button (maybe I will make another test another time)
Of course, you will have to change not only the name you can see in the picture in the file gamesetup in the precedent post.
I have made a test, the new tutorial campaign is now called NewTutorial :
Example of other changes with "gamesetup.htm" :
Here are the two files, you need : (gamesetup.htm in the UI folder of the mod)

You can make the changes yourself if you want, it is not difficult with Notepad ++

It seems that I finally arrived to add a new campaign (look at the bottom) :
The other "pictures" need to be resized...(position : relative)

Hello to all: I know that this question I am about to post is not strictly related to this excellent mod, but it is closely related to the theme: deep modding of the game...

Any of the experienced modders here knows if it is possible to add a new unit class? For example, there are infantry, artillery, tank unit classes, and I would like to add a new class: Command class units. Does anyone know if this is feasible? Thanks!!

Nice work, Terminator. I didn't think to look in the gamesetup file.

But my question is, do you get an options page when you start that new campaign?

Nice work, Terminator. I didn't think to look in the gamesetup file.

But my question is, do you get an options page when you start that new campaign?

Yes, in the two cases : if you rename the original StartTutorial Campaign or if you create a new campaign (Panzer , Deine Waffe!), you will have the options page.
You can make the test with the two files (gamesetup.zip). You put them in the mod folder 1.13 (gamesetup.htm in UI folder and make a copy of the original campaign.pzdat) and then reactivate the mod.
Maybe, it is possible to create a new expansion as Afrika korps with the same method ?
