Official Appeal: UCS and Icons Needed? Tell Us
« on: December 07, 2010, 12:16:31 AM »
Hey there EF Community.
In the excitement of breakthroughs and massive changes to the mod and the game since we begun and since initial release, some basic's have been left unchanged or unnoticed. Namely, extra icons for new changes not created, icons for abilities not made, and text left incorrect or unedited.

I'm requesting people to keep they're eyes open, read text and compare icons to what they're meant to represent and point out whether old vCoH icons re-used by the Russians need replacing. Going through all this without you otherwise wouldn't be an easy or fast task.


Here's some examples:

  • Sturmovie Ingenery still uses the same icon as the Ingenery.
  • Extra Text for the T-34/85 Call-In remains "Churchill AVRE".
  • The AT Grenade has the extra text "Bad vs. Infantry in Cover" - should say, Good vs. Tanks.
  • Partisan Call-In still says "Good vs. Tanks and Infantry".
    Usage text for Stalin's Speech instructs the player to "Left-click icon to use Blitzkrieg Tactics".


You can see the general idea of what has been missed; and the possible extent.
So please, post away and help improve the quality of this mod those extra few megabytes.
Lets perfect what we've got; before the Ostheer swamp our thoughts too much ;)

Cheers

Tank hunters upgraded and unupgraded have the same Reinforcement description as CW Infantry section

ZIS (AT Gun) unupgraded in it's description mentions swapping to HE rounds to take on alternate problems

Most reinforcement descriptions mention HQ's and Halftracks... No halftracks and what about Outposts???

Mechanics reinforcement description is Reinforce ingenery

And quite possibly the most know problem. The ISU-152 has no icon :P

EDIT: Also the reinforcement descriptions swap between conscription and reinforcement depending on the unit wouldnt it be better just to go with one or the other

There's some little errors in the Italian translation (already correct immediatly).
Use the latest version in the next patch. ;)

A couple more

- Conscripts & Shrafnyie have the same icon in the Mustering tent
- Katyusha whilst unlocking in doctrine selection says that "it can now built from support barracks", instead of it can now be called in etc etc.

EDIT:

-T-70 & T-90 Appear to have the same hotkey (T)
-SU-85/100 seems to have no hotkey
-Not one step back has same picture as Propaganda war (Not sure if delibrate)
-Sniper ace when camoed cannot call in arty I know this but I doesnt say so and has confused players I know as it only says that another ability is active
-Also when Sturmovie are given Dual ROK-3 flamethrowers do they lose their minesweeper I only ask as it isnt mentioned as you hover over the upgrade?

When you win the game as Russia, you can see the German which is holding german flag. And in the background one can probably see tanks t-34 with German markings.

EDIT: (Polish version) In reward system descriptions of tanks have mistakes of the type "jagdtanther" - is supposed to be "jagdpanther" and "owiecką" - is supposed to be "sowiecką".

[...]
The missing victory/defeat screens for Soviets (and the future Ostheer), is a hardcoded bug of Relic, just 4 factions are allowed to have it.
