The pack I downloaded was the SS-GTPG. It already had SS and SE units for every class. The copy and pasting I did was for the file I used with the DLCs, and I believe I used A-Mongo's SS Eqp file and copy/pasted the SE units from the Heer Total SE file into it. I guess my question is regarding the compatibility of my savecore (GTPG) with these new packs you're making, and if I can start from the beginning with what I already have (25 maps) and continue using the same core, or if I have to/can get a different pack that will allow me to do that.

SS-GTPG uses the Elite Units,,which already has both the SS Panzer Corps and the Heer Total SE combined
So you don't have to copy paste. You should be able to continue the campaign. The only time you have to restart is when I or niki make a patch that contains new units or modifications to existing units.
Now if you made modifications to the mod. That is a totalIy different issue. I honestly don't know how you should proceed

.
If you saved your prior modifications to the e-file,,downloaded and installed the latest beta version (EVERYBODY PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS STILL A BETA). Then copy/pasted your e-file over the campaigns e-file,you should be able to continue,,but like I said I'm only guessing.
Btw,,what did you change....just curious
Btw,,the Elite Units works with the vanilla campaign the DLC's and SS-GTPG. You just have to use the GME

It came with the Eqp file with SS units, but I've since been playing the DLC's with a custom Eqp file. Can I use my own? I can't remember if I used the Total Heer SE file or if I copy/pasted into the SS Eqp file. Whatever the case, I've made several modifications to a file containing both SS and SE units.
The latest beta contains the date in the name of the rar file. It is available in the first window of this thread. If you use a selfmade custom equipment file, it should work up till now. Because of the simple reason that i have not adjusted scenario's especially for SS-GTPG. If you just alter parameters of units in the equipment file it should always work, you might only get problems if you removed units, or changed their position in the list.
SS-GTPG is a standalone spin-off of GTPG and does not support core transfer to other parts. This is not necessary anyway because the latest beta contains all scenario's i released sofar.

I hope i have been clear enough from the start. GTPG and SS-GTPG are NOT compatible to exchange savegames.
I started to work on GTPG to use the dynamic campaign principle as long the mod isn't finished. That allows me to release new content in different packs in which the player can transfer his core to the next pack. And nobody has to wait until i finished everything. The last pack (GTPG7) will enable players to import their GTPG6 core. Soon afterwards GTPG will also come in one single download, in one single campaign tree and thus no more transfers of core when the last pack is done. GTPG uses the vanilla e-file.
SS-GTPG combines Airbornmongo's custom e-file and units with GTPG. After the full version of GTPG is available, shortly after i will post the full version of SS-GTPG. There will be a difference between beta SS-GTPG and SS-GTPG v1.0 and likely not savegame compatible.
I hope this was helpful and enlightning

@Bob thanks for the assistance bud

Уведомление о "GTPG" Большой Операции "v1.0":
Через несколько недель эта большая операция второй мировой войны будет доступна для всех "Panzer Corps" игроков в единичном дереве операции.
Оно включает всю войну начиная с блицкрига в Польше и заканчивая битвой в Берлине в 1945 году. Потом следуют 10 теоретических битв с более 50 разных сценариев исхода игры.
Используйте ваши умения и хитрость в битвах как Дункирк, Югославия, Ленинград, Москва, Курск, Плусты, Кёнингсберг. Сможете ли вы захватить Сталин-град? Или прийти на помощь
окруженной шестой армии.
Сможете ли вы отразить высадку антигитлеровской коалиции Франции? Помочь вашим товарищам эвакуировать Грецию? Сможете ли вы остановить завершающий штурм Берлина?
Спасибо за ваш интерес.
In a nutshell, GTPG ad in russian. It is a real honor to announce that the briefings will be in Russian available too!

I see one of your favourite languages. Is this the language that you'll use to tell people how to install your campaign?
Careful because me and El_Condoro erase instantly everything in Russian this days, because of the recent Russian spam invasion in the forum.

I was going to do it in this moment. But because it was your thread and you've a full set of favourite languages, I've check it this time. But my finger was already over the red button called "Delete".

Well, i'm glad you held your finger of the trigger

It is also posted in the first window of the thread.
I got the idea to present the campaign with briefings in russian.
Here is the translation in english:
"GTPG" Grand Campaign "v1.0" announcement:
In a few weeks this grand campaign of the second war will be available for all "Panzer Corps" players in a single campaign tree.
It will span the entire war from the blitzkrieg in Poland to the battle of Berlin in 1945. Followed by 10 theoretical battles, which brings the number of scenario's well over 50.
Use your skill and cunning in battles like Dunkirk, Yugoslavia, Leningrad, Moscow, Kursk,Ploesti, Königsberg. Can you capture Stalingrad? Or come to the aid of the trapped 6th Army?
Can you repulse the allied landings in France? Help your comrades evacuate Greece? Can you stop the final assault on Berlin?
Briefings will be also available in russian! Thank you for your interest.
Hereby i launch an appeal to all players if they are interested to translate the briefings into their native language!

airbornemongo101: I increased the effectiveness of all rocket-artillery (SA,HA, Initiative and increased Wurfrahmen defense to that of other Sdkfz 251s), but I think I need to augment Russia's even more. This includes increasing Nebelwerfer movement to 2.
I added Karl Gerat, Gustav, armored train, and captured equipment to the purchase screen.
I added a couple upgrades for the Stug III artillery (C & E) and a Flammewerfer tank using the Panzer IIIN body. I gave it the Engineer animation and made a custom audio combining the flamethrower sound and the Grenadier machine gun.
I added SS Wiking division versions of Infantry, Grenadier, and Pioniere. Movement +1, atck,def +1, CD +2, Initiative +3. Price +300 from SS prices. I'm not sure if this is throwing the balance off of not. I think it is, except on rainy days.
I increased Karl Gerat's fuel to 25, although I only use it with an upgrade from a unit with range +1 hero bonus. I changed the audio of Karl and Gustav's firing sound to that of the bigger tanks (AThvy1). It sounds more fitting.
Smaller artillery guns before 17cm, movement +1
88/128mm AT mode, +1 range.
I'm listing this as it comes to me, and I feel like there's more but can't think of it. If you or anyone have any suggestions or comments I'd be glad to hear them. I know that I've learnd alot about the game since I started reading these forums, and I'd like to thank everyone for that.
I also had to change the ID/MPs of the SS 88/128mm AA/AT guns, even the Heer 128mm. My SS 88 kept changing to Heer, and my 128 kept reverting to 88.

There is a patch for the mutli-purpose flak/pak problem for all the mods,but it would have overwritten your changes. I had failed to add an ID for "SS/SE pak verision.
I like the flammpanzer idea. I've often thought about making a Flamingo (I think it was a flamethrower on a reinforced Pz IIC chassis),but I'm not the most computer savvy guy on the planet.
Some interesting changes 4key. Let me know how they work out.
How is that model (the PzIIIN w/ the different animations and sound) working out for you?
Glad to see that your enjoying the mod learning form the forums and tinkering.
P.S.
There was patch out for the stugs...I forget what the problem was. I think it was the ID problem,but I'm not sure. You might want to check the numbers (equip and efx) out yourself just to make sure.
Also did you fix the vannilla SU-122 yourself or was it fixed already in the equip file you have.

The tweaked equipment file and new units give the player a better advantage in SS-GTPG. I am considering to change the gamerules.pzdat file to compensate for this advantage. Tweaking prestige is no sense.
