[Messmann]

Hello, dear Panzer friends,

working at the update continues. I have been able to make significant progress, and first tests ran successfully. Some aspects took longer than expected, though. Especially correcting unit icons, creating camouflage masks and modifying animations.

The following new units will be introduced:

10,5cm Flak 38, with anti-tank and artillery switch. Movement 0 though.
10,5 cm GebH 40, mountain artillery, with anti-tank switch. New icon, based on guille's icon.
7,5 cm GebG 36, light mountain artillery, with anti-tank switch. New icon, based on guille's icon.
Fj 7,5 cm GebG 36, light paratrooper artillery, with anti-tank switch. New icon, based on guille's icon.
Kübelwagen/ MG Transport, lightly armed car transport.
Schwimmwagen/ MG Transport, lightly armed amphibous car transport.
SdKfz 251/10 37mm Transport, lightly armed halftrack transport.
SdKfz 250/9 20mm Transport, lightly armed halftrack transport.
SdKfz 250/10 37mm Transport, lightly armed halftrack transport.

More units to be planned:
Feldjäger military police, very light infantery with recon move, movement 4;
Paratroopers recon/ radio post;
Kommando unit recon/ radio post.

The following units have been removed:
lIG 18 light artillery for paratroopers
3.7mm Pak anti-tank gun for paratroopers.

Significant rule changes:
All heavy flak guns will have an artillery switch with range two. The stats are lower than dedicated artillery, though.
The 12.8cm heavy flak gun will be available in 1940, but will also have movement 0 like the new 10.5cm heavy flak gun.
Increased some stats of the e-series late war (fictional) tanks.

I think the new transports could be interesting in parts, and the new flak options could also be helpful in some scenarios.

Stay tuned!

[Farre]

Nice!!

[faos333]

good news

[Messmann]

It will not be compatible with the earlier versions of the mod, though. I have tried to figure out a workaround, but to no avail.

I reckon someone would have to start a new campaign or a new single scenario for the changes to come up.

Hello Cristi97,

I think I have identified the problem for the missing sounds for several units. Some of the unit-names for SE and SS units in the row "# Unit icon" of the section "# Effects table" in the file "efx.pzdat", which is located in the subfolder "\Graphics" of Your Panzer Corps main folder, are simply missing and some are spelled wrong, i. e. they do not match the names of the used graphic icons in the Amulet Mod 3.

Important:
Be sure You make a safecopy of the original file before You start editing it (save the safecopy with another name of course like "efx_original.pzdat")! If something goes wrong while or after editing the file, You can copy back the safecopy of the original file (don't forget to rename it then again back to "efx.pzdat") into the subfolder "\Graphics" of Your Panzer Corps main folder.


---

You can then open the file with the Windows Editor or with MS-Excel or a similar program.

First You have to look for the lines with the names of the regular units, which do not have sounds in their SE and SS versions in the Amulet Mod 3. Mark these complete lines, copy and insert them into the SE and SS parts of the same section without overwriting the existing lines there (as I already wrote, there are also some lines with not completely missing but just wrong spelled unit names in the SE and SS parts of the section, but it is not very easy to identify them exactly for overwriting them directly and so it is much safer just to ignore them and let them belong where they are).

Second You have to put the phrase "SE_" before the names in the row "# Unit icon" of the new inserted lines in the SE part of the section "# Effects table" and the phrase "SS_" before the names in the row "# Unit icon" of the new inserted lines in the SE part of the section "# Effects table" .

Third You have to save the edited file in the subfolder "\Graphics" of Your Panzer Corps main folder, but with the original ending ".pzdat", not as ".txt", ".xlsx", … (!)

---

Example from the original section "# Effects table" in the file "efx.pzdat" (here You already see two lines marked in red for the regular versions of the "Hummel_AT.png" and "Hummel_Aty.png" which have no sounds in their SE and SS versions in the Amulet Mod 3):

# Effects table
# Assigns shooting animations and movement sounds to unit icons
# Offset is used to properly align animation with unit's icon. Order is the same as in the unit icon file: big icon facing right, big icon facing left, small icon facing right, small icon facing left
# Each unit can have up to 3 different animations, for ground attack and air attack separately.

-> First mark them completely, copy them and insert them into the SE part of the section without overwriting existing lines there.

The SE part now should look like this:

-> Second put the phrase "SE_" before the names in the row "# Unit icon" of the new inserted lines in the SE part of the section (do the same with "SS_" in the SS part).

-> Third save the edited file in the subfolder "\Graphics" of Your Panzer Corps main folder and start Panzer Corps. It should work perfectly then for all of the artillery units should have the dedicated sounds in the Amulet Mod 3.

Last but not least: Many thanks to Messmann for making one of the best Mods for my all time favorite game Panzer Corps!

Best regards

Thank you very much and my apologies for the (very) late reply. I've tried your method and it does work! Nonetheless, it's a painstaking task, so I've only fixed units that I frequently use.Also, I want to point out a crucial detail. You have to deactivate the mod, because - at least for me - Amulet files overwrite the originals when activated in JSGME. First time, I ended up editing both the overwritten file in the game folder and the one in the Amulet folder, yet none worked. Opening the game files with and without the mod, I realized this. I deactivated all the mods, just to be sure, edited only the file in the Amulet folder, activated the mod, and now EL units have sound and animation. Now, I hope this quick fix won't be a problem for Messmann, since I've only edited the files for private use.

Hello

How is it going with your update?

[Messmann]

Hello, dear Panzer friends,

I think the major part of the work is done. The update is already tested in large parts.

The new units:
10,5cm Flak 38
10,5 cm GebH 40
7,5 cm GebG 36
Fj 7,5 cm GebG 36
Kübelwagen/ MG Transport
Schwimmwagen/ MG Transport
SdKfz 251/10 37mm Transport
SdKfz 250/9 20mm Transport
SdKfz 250/10 37mm Transport
VB Kommando (light Kommando with Radar function)
Feldjäger (fast moving weak infantry)
Funkmess VB (Paratrooper post with Radar function)
Garnision (garrison)
3.7cm Pak Paratroopers reinstalled
Nashorn AT is the same as Hummel unit (AT and Aty according to original file of the game), costs 467. Unit can be switched to Tank or Antitank function.

I also corrected a couple of animation bugs. A lot of tables needed to be checked or redone.

What comes next is the documentation. For that, minor testing is required. But as soon as the documentation file is finished, we are ready to go.

Stay tuned!

Hey, friends!

This is the only mod that has no bugs with the company DLC. Therefore, you can safely play in DLC. When will the update? Thanks!

Usually all new versions are on the first page, but this mod in my opinion only wants to update)
