[Rends]

Hi,
i´m Rends from Germany and i´m sorry that i don´t speak russian (using google translator!).

EDIT: Final version is out!

Here is the final version of my new map Prokhorovka.


What you get:
Command either a T-34,SU-122,Panther,Tiger or the Stug-III on the biggest tank battle of WWII.
Original terrain based on google map heightmap

Get the final version here: http://www.filefront.com/17372583/St...s_ProkhoV1.zip

Readme:

Rends Prokhorovka Version 1




+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Importand for beta users only!
If you have already the beta version of this map installed you need
to disable it in the JSGME mod enabler first!
Next you need to delete the following line you already added to your camp_list.ENGCFG file in following directory

c:/program files/Lighthouse Interactive/Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942/data/k42/loc_rus/levels/LEVELS/camp/


delete this line:

camp\prokho_camp.engcfg, prokho, txt_cm_camp_Prokho, true, img_single;

and save the file
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Installation instructions:



First make sure that you have the JSGME mod enabler installed and that the Steel Panzer mod 1.5 beta (or higher) is enabled.
Next copy the "Rends_Prokhorovka_Version1" folder you find next to this readme file into the "MODS" folder you find under
c:/program files/Lighthouse Interactive/Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942
Run the JSGME mod enabler and activate "Rends_Prokhorovka_Version1"



Next open the camp_list.ENGCFG with notepad. You find the file under

c:/program files/Lighthouse Interactive/Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942/data/k42/loc_rus/levels/LEVELS/camp/

2. Now add following 2 lines directly under the exsisting camp entries


camp\prokho_camp.engcfg, prokho, txt_cm_camp_Prokho, true, img_t34;
camp\prokhower_camp.engcfg, prokhower, txt_cm_camp_Prokho1, true, img_pz4;


Check install screenshot about how it should look like!
Close notepad and you will be asked to save the file. Click on the yes button.

Run the game and you find 2 Prokhorovka entries in the campaign list.

That¥s all!
enjoy

Notice the first 2 mission for each side are basicly the same just with different tanks.
This means also that the mission instructions stay the same.

Hi Rends!

Excellent news! I do the new campaign of “Kursk” also, but work goes poorly, my health was strongly worsened unfortunately. I am very glad that you do new missions for Steel Fury and very beholden for your labour! I hope that you yet will do a lot of excellent missions and will do happy all of admirers of Steel fury!
Thank you very much!

With kind regards stone2009.

Hi Rends.
I've tried your mission and encountered weird graphic glitch.
Looks like skybox is filled with ...err... not the sky.

[Rends]

Oh that looks realy messed up.

Could it be that you ran out of graphic card RAM?
I had to put out another different tank before because it crashed the game. So i guess the map use all of the 256MB RAM of my graphic card.
What happened if you lower the game resolution or/and put the graphic settings to low?

I know that the map works because someone else from a different forum reported that he could play the mission without problems.

[stone2009]

Очень опасный противник "Фердинанд", но благодаря опытному мехводу, грамотно использующему складки местности, две САУ были уничтожены.

May be, but I have 896 mb on GPU.

Actually I already tried everything I could think of.
Few lower resolutions, lower settings, another Windows version, older drivers.
Even reinstalled whole game and all patches and mods and messed with Nvidia settings.
No luck.
I only hope final versions will work for me

[Mister I]

вопрос 1) в beta версии 1.5 есть фердинанд ? вопрос2) если они присутствуют , то ими можно управлять ? но мне что-то в игре не встретились.

Вся техника в редакторе и ФЕДЯ тоже

[Mister I]

Я редактором не пользуюсь уж очень он сложный был бы как в штурмовике ил-2 было бы здорово, а так сильно много мороки . спасибо всего доброго.

[vit_SB]

Вопрос немного не в той теме, но раз зашел разговор....
В редакторе научился генерить полигон и миссию, смотрел обучающие ролики и читал ликбез по редактору, но так и не понял как делать танк игрока, иной чем Т-34, который ставит редактор. Мож кто подскажет вкратце?

Did you download the map again too? It could be that your downloadfile is corrupt.

Hope you can understand english.
(I suggest to read the editor manual. On page 32 (english documentation) you see a screenshot of the division tab. )

Example: Create a tank unit and name it like you want like "rus_tank1". Now choose a tank from the list with "*" in front of itґs name like *T-34,*Panther.
The "*" means that itґs a playable unit.
Scroll down ( use the left mouse button to move the tab up/downwards there is an entry with the same name of your selected tank unit.

To the right there is a small button (No24 in the documentation). Click on it.
You will notice that the tank list on top of the window is greyed out now. Save the mission and play the new tank in game

[vit_SB]

Thanks for the help. I will try at home.

Фердинанды в Прохоровке ? И Пантеры ?

Cool that you work on a kursk campaign too! I plan to create a couple of more missions. I was still working on a early Barbarossa campaign when the SPM 1.5 beta came out. I did already 4 missions and will go back to working on it once i finished this one here.

Жмете ,,создать новое подразделение" Выбираете из списка нужное вам (со звездочкой).В самом низу в ,,подразделение игрока" кликаете на ладонь справа.Если она отсутствует-эта техника игроку не доступна.

Спасибо большое, разобрался. Теперь СЯ получила второе дыхание

[Абырвалг]

Problem was solved after another cycle of deleting and reinstalling everything.
Thank you for your work. Very dynamic and atmospheric missions.

[Rends]

Cool.
I´m glad that you got it working

[ntalex]

Actually, I've got the same problem as comrade Абырвалг
I'll try to resolve what I did wrong. At the first point there is nothing special - just a copy and single line added, but it doesn't work(the editor got a mistake at 99% of mission loading, in the game it's the same picture as mentioned). It's funny interesting) Just wonder, why did u place an additional folder "envs" into "\data\k42\loc_rus\levels"?
Another question: Which way the game defines the file "Rends01_Kursk.poly"?

[1984]

кто-нибудь может поделиться camp_list.ENGCFG с прописанной в нем бетой?

[ntalex]

@1984
Да там ничего сложного, есть подозрения, что какя-то проблема со скриптом миссии, либо с полигоном. А вообще забавно, вроде все просто, а не фига не работает) По крайней мере у меня.

[Rends]

... It's funny interesting) Just wonder, why did u place an additional folder "envs" into "\data\k42\loc_rus\levels"?

To answer your first question. The envs folder and files are there because the map is not packed.

To answer your second question. There are level files pointing to the Rends01_Kursk.poly
You find them under LEVELS/cm_prokho. These files tell the game engine what files are needed to create the mission (terrain, scripts, weather, zones...)

[ntalex]

Thanks for reply. Still can't get it over. Could u upload er config file:
\data\k42\loc_rus\config\config.engcfg
Perhaps, my is spoiled or smth. Thanks.
