1. This is the PzK Mods v3.1 (COMPLETE-All in one) : PLEASE, TEST and comment...

The link is temporarily removed to make room in my Dropbox for the WDS mods. Please, send a private message if needed.


After some testing, you don't have to do anything before installing this mod with JSGME and playing it. Some corrections have been made.


IMPORTANT :

1a. To free up space in my Dropbox, I'm placing here the link to the Battleground sound which replaces the "in-game" music (not the intro music) with a battle ambience. Install it with JSGME after the desired mods

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p0pfvw9ncm7j ... TtcTa?dl=0

1b. 1b. Idem but with SOFT Battlesound from the Talonsoft series :

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ezy61qgc ... ce2zg&dl=0


2. I found inconsistencies between the icons and the sounds assigned to some units by the program (e.g. foot units that are actually mounted or motorized and vice versa). This does not affect the attributes of that unit in the scenario, the effect is just graphic and sound. This is easily modified in the Oob of each scenario via the editor supplied with the game (see the post in the Topics "WDS Mods" if needed). I will correct these errors as I play and will provide you here with the modified files on a case-by-case basis.

ATTENTION : To use this, the correction files must be placed in the c:/Documents/My Games/Stalingrad/scn folder (not in the game installation folder) : v1.3

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cuktgtwjwwz2 ... OZUQa?dl=0


3. You can see on my post on the Topics WDS Mods how to change the counters and representations of the units on the info bar with the editor if needed.


4. Another "Flak green" color for German army counters. Install this with JSGME AFTER the Mods ( also works with PzK Mods - see PzK Mods Topics).

Downloaded this mod as I already have the Desert war mod which enhances the graphics for that game.
I am having some issues trying to get the PzK mod to run in Stalingrad though.
I have set up the JSGME utility after finding this YouTube clip on how to set up JSGME
https://youtu.be/uvifEJ6Ak0Q
having done that I moved the PzK mod from the available to activated side in the JSGME utility , launch Stalingrad and try a scenario Human vs A.I choose one then click play . The box with "initialising Game" appears briefly then disappears, the p.c then shows my Home Screen with Stalingrad icon in the taskbar then .....nothing happens ,the pc doesn't lock up but if I click on the taskbar icon , it just goes to a black fullscreen window which I can't close
Is anyone else having this issue?
Once I restart the p.c and run JSGME to remove the Mod, Stalingrad will run fine again.
So what am I doing wrong? any help much appreciated.

Stalingrad is at Ver 1.02

Cheers

It's strange, I don't have that problem here. I'll find out more and get back to you...

I just try my mod (dowloaded from my link) and all is ok here. My version of JSGME is 2.6.0.157 :

The tutorial on YT seems a little too complicated for me (I speek french but don't undestand why he rename many things).

You have just to :

1. Delete the MODS folder (with my mods inside) + your JSGME.exe and JSGME.ini files (from your first try). You find it in your Stalingrad folder (normal installation place is C:program(X86)/Matrix Games/Stalingrad)

2. Copy paste the last version of the JSGME.exe file on your Stalingrad Folder (same place)

3. Run this JSGME.exe files from this place

4. Say yes when the program say you that he will to create a folder MODS in this place

5. Next when you have the program on your screen you see in the middel of the panel an option named TASK

6. Click on TASK and choose "GENERATE SNAPSHOT OF FILES GAME"...the program do that (1 or 2 min). You have to do this one time for all (punts 1-6) not every time you will to play with the mods.

7. Maybe re-dowload my mod folder from my link (all is in only one folder named PzK Mods Stalingrad) and put him (copy/paste) in the MODS folder who is create by JSGME in your game location (find in the same place where you put JSGME.exe before).

8. Run JSGME from the same place (or create a shortcut on your desktop) ans select my mods in the left column. Click on the arrow to the rignt and the program put the mods to the right part of the screen (if the program seem to be blocked and say "the program don't answer", there is no problem, let him work). Depend of you config but it will take 1 or 2 min max.

9. Close JSGME (or not) and run Stalingrad...

I test my mods with my Bitdefender official version and no virus are finding...

Say me if running wel...if not, you can also copy/paste all the folders of my mods on the right places in your game folder but it's not very fun and there is no back-return to the original version without entire re-installation of the game if you have a problem.

Sincerely,

Hellway

Thank you for your help Hellway ,all is fine now and the game runs with the Mod .
I am not sure what I was doing wrong but, it doesn't matter now that it runs
Thanks once more for producing some stunning work for the WeGo series , keep up the good work!

Thanks for your support, you'r always welcome for problems, feedback and ideas. My objective is not to change the mechanics of the game but the "immersion feeling" well (don't forget to not have your music volume option on 0 if you want to listen the new intro music and in-game battle sounds ambiance from this mods).

Some upgrades for PzK Stalingrad 1.2, picsArmy 1.0 (completed) and refined DW 1.5 Mods are in progress. I plan to change the S-Icons too (little Nato icons used with the max zoom out view) but for now, I'm not satisfy with the result...I work with my "littles hands" and some easy and not professional programs to do this, but do my best.

Have fun.

Sincerely, Hellway

PzK Mods v 3.0 All-in-one is now release (link in the first post of this Topics)

1. I found inconsistencies between the icons and the sounds assigned to some units by the program (e.g. foot units that are actually mounted or motorised and vice versa). This does not affect the attributes of that unit in the scenario, the effect is just graphic and sound. This is easily modified in the Oob of each scenario via the editor supplied with the game. I will correct these errors as I play and will provide you with the modified files on a case-by-case basis too.

2. I seem to have forgotten some Italian units in the PzK Mods, which causes inconsistencies between the courters and the info bar images for that army on the Fatal Bridgehead .scn...the work is in progress and will arrive soon ---> DONE NOW in the last post...

3. You can see on my post on the Topics WDS Mods how to change the counters and representations of the units on the info bar if with the editor if needed.

Comments and ideas are welcome,

Sincerely,

Hellway

PzK Mods 3.0 release on my first post :

All PzK mods 2.4 contents + S-Mods 1.2 Included. Please, read the important remarks before using.

Hellway

[Rosseau]

Wow, great looking "finish" to this latest mod effort. The Italians seem to be coming through just fine!

However, I did not follow directions fully: I just disabled version 2.04 of the mod via JSGME, and then deleted that folder, and then moved the PzK Mods Stalingrad 3.0 folder into the MODS folder and activated it using JSGME.

Now, I may have done something horribly and stupidly wrong, but it seems to work. Thanks again.

[Hellway]

Hello, the 3.1 version is complete (check my remark about .gif files in the first post before using). No need to install the over the 2.4, you have just to uninstall the 2.4 with JSGME and install the 3.0. Normaly there is no problem if you install 3.0 over 2.4 (and say yes when JSGME ask you to replace many files) but "on ne sait jamais"... . New extreme zoom icons (S-Mods 1.3) are in Pzk 3.1. For the battle sound which replace the in game music, you have to download with link in first post and install with JSGME too AFTER the mods himself (because I must make place on my non-pro dropbox).

Have fun.
