Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor Message Board  

Well, it's not likely to get much response from Relic unfortunately, they don't make themselves very well known when it comes to modding, heck just getting the incomplete object editor at all was an agonizing effort where they sort of released it, then effectively "took it back" in short order, and while it -can- be had, it's not very functional, and documentation is nonexistent.

All these months since COH first came out there hasn't been anything from the Relic front. The community as a whole is what has made COH modding what it is more than anything.

Frankly, Relic has released several patches for instance that kicked modders in the teeth, 2.300 was a death knell to modding until the unending badgering forced Relic's hand to admit they dropped the ball and eventually they finally released 2.301 which basically undid 2.300. Then later on, 2.400 was an interim patch, but it was totally, completely, and unquestionably superfluous. The game could have just as easily patched from 2.301 to 2.500, and onto 2.501 and 2.502, without ever having to go through an intermediate formatting debacle, only to wind up having another formatting rework.

Now as far as the 2.500 and later versions of the game, I'm perfectly content, it helps keep some of the nonsense down and helped "call out" a plagiarist flagrantly stealing my early work when he couldn't re-work it into 2.400 and 2.500, but I'm still of the mindset that 2.400 was unnecessary with ToV being a matter of days/weeks afterward.

Well,that's kind of suck.I don't know about other people but I love this game.I just can't get enough of it and with the few new units that they add in,that just made the game even more interesting and with your mod....It's even better.I play this game all the time ever since it came out.I think this game is one of the best games ever came out.They should keep on making expansion out of COH...and thanks Knightpress for you hard work, your mod made this game hella fun,and also thanks to Pwizard and crew for their trainers... you guys rock keep it up. .www.cheathappens.com/newreply.asp?headID=82217&titleID=14599&onPage=3&commID=879782#

Well, it was a bit late but finally i got myself a ToV and patched up to 2.501 and installed you Mod, again and again i must say you put a lot of time and effort, you spent hours to write this mod, well placed and delicately considered fictions and their abilities, as i read in your read me file you unlock everything.
The most eye catching part was the attribs which you Modified, you really made a clean and neat job, When i post my-Mod Module then you can see the real and literal meaning of false and try!
Thanks and many thanks, i think people in CHU should decide a rank for Modders.
I have question though, In american mission on ToV there are some artillery emplacements can you direct me to how add them in one of my Infantry?

Ahh yes, what you're talking about is the 10.5cm leFH 18, or the German light howitzer. To add it to a build menu, it's merely a matter of editing the construction_menus, under construction_ext, in the ebps folder for the howitzer_gun_nest.rgd... err well I kind of said that backwards

attrib>ebps>races>axis>buildings>howitzer_gun_nest.rgd>
construction_ext>construction_menus

If you prefer to save time, I've uploaded a new version of Ewiger Krieg with that specific artillery piece added to the Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite forces.

If you prefer to do it yourself, make sure you DO NOT use the axis_howitzer_gun_nest.rgd, because while the game/mod would function, there is nothing but a blank icon for the unit, and the .lua for the .rgd you're editing is simply incomplete so you'll be building an amusing, yet completely useless, yellow box. It was apparently an earlier development "placeholder" which was never properly trimmed from the files, and it's not alone as there are several other examples of which are either amusing or entirely useless.

Anyway, enjoy!

As a side note, I've had nothing but trouble with Savefile.com lately, and while they've been completely reliable in the past, the recent rash of mishaps has forced me to find another avenue to use for personally hosting Ewiger Krieg, so you will see that now the links in my signature are to Filefront instead.

Hmmm... Click the "Ewiger Krieg" link in my signature, that should work. I tried it just a second ago with three alternative browsers, namely IE, Safari, and Opera as well as my primary Firefox (I'm ashamed to admit I used Internet Explorer ) and that works fine to download it.
