Armies of the World (Steph's mod, C3C version)

[Lachlan]

i will have 1024 Kb/s DSL, downloading a piece of 100-150-200 Mo will aren't longer a problem for me

When you will propose a C3C version ?

 

[Steph]

I've uploaded the very first version (0.1) that should be conquest compliant.

To install it first install all the files of the PTW version if you heven't already, then move them in the conquest/scenario folder.

Download the c3c version (aow_0_1.zip), unzip it in conquest/scenario

this version doesn't use any new unit or feature, it simply add the correct pathes, and use new civilopedia icons for units.

If you don't have PTW, you need to download additional units, not included with c3c, and put them in c3ptw/extra/world war II folder

Hey Steph, I was just trying to install your MOD here and I ran into a few problems.
First of all, I followed your instructions by downloading and installing the PTW files into the conquest/scenario folder and then I installed the aow files into the same folder.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the MOD in the map editor was that the icons of some of the units were either blank or didn't correspond to the correct unit type. For example the Su 122 unit had the icon of a Nebulan frigate from Star Wars!

Anyway, I tried running the MOD and at about the 61% mark I get this error message: FILE NOT FOUND: "Art\tech chooser\icons\mapmaking-small.pcx"
What did I do wrong?

 

[The Cossack]

Ok well I figured out why I was getting that error message. For some reason I forgot to copy the files from the original techchooser folder. I still haven't figured out how to fix the problem with the mismatched or missing icons. I also noticed that the natural resources are missing icons as well. Again it could be because I forgot to copy somethign from one of the folders, but I was looking through all the folders and don't know where the icon file is saved.

 

[Lachlan]

Steph should make a self-extractor file

 

[Steph]

The next version will take some time, I'm in heavy planning phase.

Well, the Iroquois would become modernized. Take RoN for instance, they have Aztec modern weapons. I just dislike the fact of my people becoming the people who wiped 95% of us off the face of the Earth and then displacing us into small reservations in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is horrible, it's flat, and dull. The original Cherokee territory, un-flat and beautiful.

I don't mean to be a thorn in your ass, but you don't understand our hate of what the US, English, and Spanish did to us. Don't worry, you're French.. French people were nice to us, especially to the my tribe.

I like your work, it is truely great. Your certainly put a lot of thought into everything. I also look forward to playing your new verson coming out, sounds great.

Yes, French people are very nice .

But if you want a real iroquois or cherokee civ, it's simple. Make me new units! I don't make unit myself, but use existing ones/ So without modern native units, my only choice is to use american ones

I have the same problem with icons not matching icons even with the mods pcx32 sheet. Its taking sometime to figure what is what. Otherwise I have no troubles with it.

 

[Rhye]

Looks good. But what is that mech in the upper right of some civs?

 

[Sleepy Eyes]

I noticed the pcx 32 sheet for this mod is double wide (24 across) and when I go to add a unit to it to fill in a blank it throws some other icons off line for units off in the editor. WHen I use a standard or mega sheet 14 across the counting of the icons doesnt change when I add them in. So I am wondering why I have troubles with a wider sheet over a norrower longer pcx sheet when i comes to adding icons and #ing. Mabye I just have a different version of c3c or something...?

 

[Sleepy Eyes]

I finally got the icons matched........I had to use a converter to make pcx 32 icons from flc for the units that didnt have any. I have to say this mod is GREAT! The work to get the icons was worth it! Though I think the native american units should be seperate from america. Anyways I look forward to your next mod.

 

[Bobisback]

Could you post your unit 32 icons.

 

[Sleepy Eyes]

I would have to post the 32 units icons and the steph mod main file which matches them (btw I had never tinkered with any other settings in the Mod cept for icons). Since I am a rookie on this site I have to figure out how to uplink it here...And where is the right place to post it?


There also seems to be missing two units I can not find the unit folder for the flc to make the Icon.

#ANIMNAME_PRTO_NavalFighterBomberJapanese
_air_Val

#ANIMNAME_PRTO_ModernInfantryFrance
_landInf_Peacekeeper

So I am wonder if I should switch the peacekeeper as the blue cask unit I had downloaded and I am not so sure what to do about the _air_Val unit yet. Any suggestions or am I missing something everyone else has.

As For details on the Icons

The Su35 and the German Musket have a green or tan background. However, I had succesfully found or made proper transperant icons for all the other units. Plus I made a new icon for the axis and allied commando and a couple others to try and help out. Ill post a link tonight and hopefully some of you will find it useful since it took me a few long hours to do.

 

[Bobisback]

Just put the .biq or .bix and the icons in a zip. Then at the bottom of the page their is a Upload File click that and get the file. hope that helps

btw just post it here.


Edit: I had those errors and posted them in the old thread but steph did not answer, I look Froward to trying the 32 unit icons.

here is my older post: I have found the .ini file but I have not found the folder, there is no folder.

btw the .ini file is in the units folder.

edit: I found out that it is the Tenzan, Naval Fighter Bomber for the Japanese and the folder name is suppose to be _air_Val but there is no folder by that name all there is is a .ini file. There is no animation files either.

 

[Sleepy Eyes]

Here is part one the pcx 32 for AOW put in the arts units directory in the steph scenerio folder. (Of course back up your originals if you want)

 

[Sleepy Eyes]

This one is to replace the steph scenerio edit file in order to match the icons. No other changes have been made to the setting other than icons.




(Ill make a new thread for these two downloads so it may be easier to find)

 

[Bobisback]

ok thanks

 

[Sleepy Eyes]

Yeah, I am glad I could contribute something around here, I wanted to play this mod myself but I had to put a few hours into it first. But I figure the creator worked so hard to put it together its no sense to leave such a nice thing incomplete. I am playing this mod multiplayer now on a network so I am wondering if I could post temp patches (????) since it seems Steph is busy lately...

The civpedia art unit file for catapult needed a minor correction in taking away the underscore to match the pedia text. But so far after that so good. And I replaced the 2 missing units..
