How far next year? Wait too long and people might move on to other games or Slitherine will release an official expansion that will cover your material.

You keep dangling your work in front of the community here, but you haven't released anything yet.

Join me on a play test and you can also play the Campaign. This is a free mod and I cannot be forced.
I released a first Demo version of an playable MP scenario.
The official expansion don't cover my project - thats two different things - but I hope they bring up some more features like Mines, divisional HQ's and a modifiedable terrain parameters, different heros for every nation and unit class, possible in game videos etc.

Hi!

Its a long time ago, that I played Panzer corps. (personal losses and problems!)

But after looking your graphics and all the effort you have done, with realizing that so less people play MP games, I 'll test your campaign too.

And I love MP games, because no AI is half so good like a human being!

Tell me what I have to do!

Note: I was in Munich, Bavaria and I am not from East Germany!

Thanks but, 2 questions:

In which folder should I unzip?

If I try it to unzip in Program files/Slitherine?Panzer corps main folder there is an error message!?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Doubleclick on the zip-file.

You'll see a folder "Africa Corps Test version"

Opening it, you see:

1) file "test Desert.pzloc"
2) file "test Desert.pzscn"

copy both in your /data folder of PC

3) open folder "Africa Corps" in zip-file
and copy all content in your pc folder (always make backups, as usual)

I did it and the game begins...

But a lot of hexes are not existing, they are just black!

What am i missing?

without knowing it in detail, it seems you are missing some custom tiles / grafics

pomakli · Post by **pomakli** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 7:00 pm

Yes, and after the second move the game crashed!

Sorry for all that, just an oldie!

HBalck · Post by **HBalck** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 7:01 pm

This is a test version - the custum hexes are only for the test scenario not for other things !!!

It should work if you put the *.pzscn and *.pzloc file in your \document\my games\panzer corps\scenario folder
AND make folder under \slitherine\panzer corps\MODS and put the unrarred file there.
Use the Generic mod enabler to play.

If you don't want to use the generic mode enabler, overwrite everything under the \slitherine\panzer corps folder. BUT you will have to back-up those folders first!

Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

The file you can download is *.rar file
Unzipped/unrarred you get the *.pzloc and *.pzscn file + the africa corps folder
Pzloc+Pzscn file go to c:\document\....\panzer corps\scenario folder
Africa corps folder goes to c: \slitherine\panzer corps\ mods folder
Install generic mod enabler, follow the tutorial with the link VPaulus provided
Then load the mod.

It is a pity that the proper procedure is not written in the first window of this thread.
