The Elite Units Mod ----Patch 1.24 and LOV compatibility

[airbornemongo101]

Thx Richard and glad you liked my humor

@Chemkid

I didn't know I was missing any parts of Scott's work.

I included the Historical mod during the update for patch 1.10,so in retrospect I probably do have stuff missing

You can alsway download scott's work and run it and the Elite mod at the same time w/o any ill effects or just add the missing stuff into your copy of the Elite Units

No RSM is not compatible w/ Elite Units att. There are/were plans to make them compatible,but Paulo and I both got hammered by real stuff...so hopefully in the future we will be able to get together and make them work alog side each other.

Thank you both for taking an interest in the mod

Hey airbornemongo 101,

Sorry, I have to ask again how you recommend to install the mod, since your version of the mod does still not work for me.

Use the GME. Do I have to overwrite the e-file in the original DATA-directory/LOCALIZATION-directory of the PANZER CORPS directory as well?

My game forces me to use a e-file in which the IDs and the according unit correspond with the original e-file. Means:

#11 SE Inf (original)
#11 SS Inf (Elite unit mod)

Since these 2 do not match, the unit order and SS-/SE-units are mixed up in the purchase-menu. So I wondered if the game has somewhere else a fixed structure of the units which it uses independed of the e-file OR if the e-file is the only basis of information about units?

I wonder why I am the ony one reporting this error

I don't know why your the only one getting this error

If you use the GME you shouldn't have to overwrite anything. When using the GME the only changes are that you make a mods folder in your vanillia PZC install folder

Are you using the english version of PZC or another language?

@airbornemongo101 - thanks for that info!

chem!

Many thx for the Info airborne!

@ veranschi13:

Do you play a german version? When yes, look at ...\Localization\de\Data and open the File "equipment.pzloc" with Win-Editor and change all "SE" Names into "SS". Done!

[veranschi13]

Yes. Have the German version of it. But the directories are probably the same. I could try playing it and using the mod, after I have switched back to English as game language???

So, all SS into SE, and SE into SS?

[Magic1111]

When you play with german language you must put the Equipment File from this MOD to ...\Localization\de\Data too!

And then as I wrote open the File "equipment.pzloc" (it exist in this directory and comes not with the MOD) with Win-Editor and change all "SE" Names into "SS"!

[veranschi13]

Tried your orders, Magic111, but must have screwed it.

So, I put the e-file from the mod into the "Panzer Corps/Localization/de/Data"-folder and then opened the e-file in the "Panzer Corps/Data"-folder and changed all SE into SS.

I was kinda confused which of the e-files I had to open with notepad and which I had to copy where exactly to.

Okay, here another step-by-step explanation:

When you play this MOD with a german Version of Panzer Corps (german language)

1.) You put the File "Equipment.pzeqp" from "The Elite Units MOD" into "Panzer Corps\Localization\de\Data" Folder. So that you have two exactly the same files, one in "Panzer Corps\DATA" Folder and one in "Panzer Corps/Localization/de/Data" Folder.
2.) That´s all with Equipment.pzeqp File. No more changes needed.
3.) Now you go again in Folder "Panzer Corps/Localization/de/Data" and search the File "equipment.pzloc" and open it with Win-Editor. Now in this File you change all "SE" Names that you find in this File into "SS".
4.) Done!

Hope that helps!

Magic Magic...

Point 1-2 can be ignorre. With Patch 1.10 no "Equipment.pzeqp" Files in '..\localization\de;fr;ru\Data' are further used. In 1.13 only in the german folder is a "Equipment.pzeqp" included. Date from 2011! This can be deletet.

Only effect for translations do the Files "equipment.pzloc".

Thx for clarify, but it nothing happens when we´have two exactly the same E-Files at the both Directories....

[veranschi13]

Will try it this evening. Hope this will work now

So one last question:
What is the differences between the equipment.pzloc and equipment.pzeqp?

[Jelinobas]

So one last question:

"equipment.pzeqp" = Full Unit-file (english)
"equipment.pzloc'S" = Translation files for the Names from the "equipment.pzeqp" File

[veranschi13]

Makes sense, thank you.
I have worked and tried some things in the "e.pzeqp". So my very last question would be: "What are the 4 columns in the e.pzloc for if there is only one translation language necessary?" I will experiment a little with the files and just want to make sure I know the facts behind it

Thanks in advance

[Magic1111]

What are the 4 columns in the e.pzloc for if there is only one translation language necessary?

Hmm, what do you exactly mean?

[veranschi13]

For example (equipment.pzloc): 14 - Panzer IA - Panzer I Ausf. A - Panzer IA - Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf. A

ID is 14, and then 4 different lengths/descriptions of the same unit follow. Why?

Aaah, okay!

These 4 descriptions are for the different Screens in Panzer Corps, e.g. Purchase Menu Screen, Unit Names on ID Card....and so on!

And these screens in Panzer Corps, who are the Names of the Units are displayed, needs different length of the Unit-Names. Hence are the different lengths from the descriptions of the Units!

[veranschi13]

@ Magic111: Makes totally sense as well. So do you or anyone else know what screens these 4 individual columns are related to?

@ airbornemongo101: I was playing your mod now and made it through DLC 39 and 40. I found myself building up a complete SS army since these units are not so much more expensive than regular ones. What do you think of increasing their prices to a value at which one really has to think if it is worth buying them?
