Bugs & Tech Support / The Mod

« on: January 27, 2011, 04:47:18 AM »

Ok this may be the wrong place (but i saw tech support so thought this is the best place)

I only have the first two COH, (so company of heroes, and company of heroes; opposing fronts). Will this mean that there may be possible problems with the mod, or even that it wont work at all.

Also, do i need to download patches for the game that they try and force me to get? As of yet, i havnt downloaded the online patches as i dont play online.

Thanks in advance

 Totally for the idea of a Torrent.
 Steam might want the release to be their exclusive domain

steam also gets a shit load of more downloads 

steam also destroys good games.

so slow, i have waited for almost 2 years and the game has been uninstalled, although i will try to reinstall it again

Simple solution. Make your own mod? Lets see how long that takes you? And as some-one above said, 2 years for a game is reasonable if your being PAID FULL TIME to produce it. That usually consists of a team of a hundred people or more to make a game. Its alright if they are working on it everyday of every week, but the guys who made this mod do it in their spare time. Be grateful you have a mod to play on when its released in a few days time.

I dont think maps generally take up much space. Though this is based on playing mod maps online on a game called Crysis, and they take 1 min to download roughly. And im on a average internet speed. Might be COH maps are bigger though, but Crysis is seriously detailed so i dont know.

Hey, I think If you do a Stalingrad mission it should be sniper based, because The Soviets used a heckload of Snipers in Stalingrad!

Wheres the fun in that though? You need to have conscripts to throw at the German line while the snipers take them out. Otherwise it'd just be a walk in the park, 20 snipers versus 100 germans. That'd just be a slaughter and too easy

Sorry if this has already been asked but what weapons will they have? Scoped Mosin Nangit or PTRS? I vote PTRS!

Depends when they are basing the units. And reallyk it should just be a Scoped Mosin Nagent because thats what most snipers would have been issued. Though it is fair to say later in the war (so maybe in the later period of the mod) they can have a PTRS, but i spose that would bring balancing issues, as a PTRS is highly powerful (literally one shot one kill, even if it isnt a torso shot) and has a much longer range, and from what i gather so far, the Red Army is already very powerful.

I'm just wondering why it wouldnt work with russian infantry?

Is it due to the squad behaviour being different in some way? Im assuming you might have changed some, or left out a bit of coding that allows the squads to do that (or it has become corrupted slightly/changed for the red army soldiers). Or it could be down to the different squad size really - especially conscripts, as 3 have weapons and 3 dont, and the game doesnt understand that.

But im just guessing, and have no realy knowledge.

'I agree, but he didnt need to post it 5 times  '

That Wasn't Me. that was TrueSights

I never said anything about the T34-76 not being included in Stalingrad, i was talking about the T34-85, and the SU85, and T70/90, none of which were in service in 1942.

Ah, then i apologize, i misread that. Yes, that would have been accurate as the T34-85 wouldn't have been at stalingrad at all.

Das Taub, i hate to say this, as im not 100% sure, but from reading a book called "Stalingrad" by Anthony Beevor, who is a highly respected historian, and in it, it mentioned a factory in Stalingrad, which was producing T-34 tanks, and sending them straight into the defence, without gunsights and most of the usual tank features, apart from the hull, the engine and the gun. So in theory you could put the T-34 into a stalingrad mission, though in a very limited number, say just one or two. Also, i dont think many were actually used in Stalingrad, as the factories were vitually destroyed in the battle.


Also, as people have mentioned Stalingrad, i was thinking it IS neccessary in a campaign, though you cant just focus on it, or randomly shove it in.

Maybe there could be a completely separate campaign for stalingrad (and leningrade mixed in aswell, as that was another huge siege and battle)

Mission 1 (for stalingrad)
Lead Elements
- Lead elements of the German force are 5 miles away from Stalingrad. You must hold them off for atleast 30 minutes to allow for the defences to be strengthened. You will not be able to build new units or be re-inforced by reserves, as we cannot spare the man power.

Mission 2.
Outskirts
The 24th Panzer Division have reached the Outskirts. You must Hold them off, and drive them out (secondary objective) for aslong as possible. Each extra minute helps in your next mission. If you fail to hold the germans off for 30 minutes, all is lost.

Mission 3.
The Docks
The Germans have pushed us back to our dock, and our only supply of troops and munitions. YOU MUST DRIVE THEM BACK IMMEDIATELY. NOT ONE STEP BACKWARDS.

Mission 4
The Factory District
The Germans are attempting to capture the last areas of the factory district we still control. Hold out with your last remaining troops until re-inforcements arrive in 30 minutes and then drive the Facists out. Do not Fail.

Mission 5
The Grain Silo
Our valient comrades have fallen defending the Grain Silo, which is now in German hands. You must take it back at all costs, as the German officers in the tower are calling down lethal artillery on our ships in the Volga and troops in the city.

Mission 6
Trainyard
We have pushed the Germans back to the edge of the Trainyard. Now you must finish the job. Secure the whole trainyard. Eliminate All Enemies.

Mission 7
The Turning Point
You have been tasked to break through the Romanian defenders on the flank of Stalingrad. This is part of Operation Uranus, and we will encircle and destroy the Germans in Stalingrad. Note: your troops can now mount up on our T-34s comrade. Crush the Germans underfoot.

Mission 8
Final Battle
The Germans have been completely surrounded in Stalingrad. Only pockets of resistance now remain, focussed in the Centre of the City. Wipe them out. Victory is at hand comrade!

Mission 9 (Maybe)
Their Land. Their Blood.
Berlin. The final obstacle the Nazis have for us. They will use all they can to defend the city. Fight your way to the Reichstag and capture it for our glorious Motherland. The end is nigh comrade!

Mission 10 (maybe)
Inside the Reichstag
*a description for this is better really. It's a inside layer of the Reichstag, and you need to capture the building (3 strategic points) to win. Only infantry in here. would be difficult to make this map, but would be new and different from all the others. Think of the Call of Duty World as War style mission, and something similar to that*

There are also possibilities to the Leningrad Siege, though i don't know as much about the Leningrad battle.

Hi i'm just a new member, and recently searched on youtube "company of heroes russians." apart from getting rick rolled a few times, i found one decent video:

Company of Heroes: Eastern Fronts maps.

And that just blew me away. Absolutely amazing. You guys have done a great job already on it, and you havn't even released it i can't wait to see what the whole thing will look like when it is released, and i'll definately be downloading it (i've just re-installed the origional company of heroes for that lucky day).

It was just so impressive that you have managed to make it all look like it was professionally designed, and coded for each unit (i have seen how hard mods are to get working, as i am also a follower of the Fleet Commander: Battlestar Galatica mod, which is one of the best of its genre, and have been watching them edit the Crysis game, a huge feat) and im suprised that an official game hasnt already been released, considering the brilliant stuff you have already managed to make.

so yeah, once again, great mod so far and can't wait for it to be released!
