I'd like to welcome Welk (aka welk) the newest member to the GS beta group. If you haven't check out his mod(s) you need to check them out. He's done some very impressive work! viewtopic.php?p=290855#290855

Hello,

No problem with that, I am interested to participate in this group. Concerning my personal mods, I have this classification :

1/ CEAW graph mod (achieved 100%) : this mod realizes lot of graph changes, but only graph changes. It changes map, background, overlay, images, etc (in some cases, this mod uses work of others modders, given as free on the Slitherine forum : this concerns flags). Some islands are also added in ocean and sea.

2/ “Pre-war mod” (achieved 100%) : this mod introduces only the following changes : addition of some islands in ocean/sea, addition of Czechoslovakia and Austria on Europe map. No other changes are made, and this mod works as a “normal” WW2 mod (the essential change is to allow players to build/play 1938 scenarios, including in war Austria and/or Czechoslovakia : war begin during Anhscluss, or war begin during Munich crisis).

3/ “War and crisis in Europe” (achieved 90%) : this mod is very “special”. It realizes heavy modifications in the game txt files (including general.txt) and some graphs files are added/created = adding 2 new Great powers (Poland and Spain = France, GB, etc), adding 5 “médium powers” (that are “great powers” for the logiciel with independant production, reinforcements and research but a little more weak than other “Great powers” (list : Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Rumania, Turkey, Yugoslavia),etc.
Obb, productions, etc are adapted as standards (Classes are : Great powers, medium powers, little powers, little states, little territories) : for power of each classe, parameters of oob, production,etc are approx identical. So, with this system, Europe is not dominated by Germany because the mod supposes that Hitler was dead during WW1 and that nazism did not occur in Germany. With 7 great powers (USA are out of game) and 5 medium powers, the game is more equilibrated and a lot of diplomatic/strategic situations are possible.
The object of this mod is not to play CEAW as WW2 wargame, but as a “fantasy what if ? scenarios tool” : with this mod, players can build (*) alternates situations or recreate special historical wars (like war between Greece/Turkey in 1920, or like war betwen Poland/Urss 1920/1921), or no-historical wars (just for the fun and to experiment new strategic/diplomatic situations in Europe : what will happend during a war between France + Italy vs GB + Turkey ? etc)

(*) or I can build for them, if special interest for a specific diplomatic situation

Of course, I will have to adapt these mods with new features of GS next update

Concerning the name Iwant to use = the same as actual = welk
My computer is PC Windows Xp

In addition : I have to say that it would be very great for me to be able to get the special adapted editor the GS group uses, because modifications are more fast and easy with a editor than using txt files.

cheers Wink

Hi, Gentlemen, and thanks for invitation in this group

I 'm 56 years old, and "serial modder", now gamer of MH-CEAW GS, probably the best PC wargame I never played and modded (anothers loved wargames were the old Clash of steel, the old Third Reich PC and the old Strategic Command 1, but I have to say that I could not play again with these games after playing MH-CEAW GS : it is THE wargame).

Hope my little participation in modding will give some help
