Showing full infantry teams and squads

[Erik Rutins]

Hi Nemo84,

Even so, the files would have had to change as in many cases other lines in the XML files were changed to support different and additional infantry models. Even if the entire update had been "in place" the files would have had to be edited again.

With that said, we do not current plan on changing the infantry files again for this release. For future releases, we plan to build the full squad and team size into the official release files, after seeing the demand for it in this release.

Regards,

- Erik

Hey Erik,

Good to know that this will be part of a future official release. I'm currently being bored at home on sick leave so I had already started modifying these files myself. Including some extra changes to make the extra squadmembers fit in a bit better than a mere c/p of the exising models would offer. But the broken arm that is the cause of my unexpected free time means it was going way too slowly. I'll just abandon it for the time being then, seeing as at the current rate you guys would likely beat me to a release.

I certainly appreciate Spellir's work and effort (and the rest of the team as well) and in retrospect my previous post might have sounded a bit too... cranky [;)]

NEw VERSION HERE!!!

Gents,

I updated the xml files for the new German graphics. Germans have now 8 man squads Russians have 10 (their XML are unchanged).

Enjoy .

Thank you very much, Sztartur. I really missed this mod.

[Commanderski]

Thank you!

[JMass]

Thanks, Sztartur! Here is your mod JSGME compatible!

[pinwolf]

Also many thank from me Sztartur.

With every mod this game will get better and better. We sometimes tend to forget that. If I recall how CMBO and CMBB looked at the beginning...it almost made me cry. [:D]

Bump

Please use the JMass version that is for use with JSGME. That way if the beta update causes problems, you can uninstall the mod.

My humble request to Matrix: since there is a big demand for this Is it possible to include in the next patch? It is very tedious and unnecessary to always update this. Those with weaker machines can still turn limit infantry on.

I have replied to this post because I am rather new at the game and still debating if I want to get into doing mods. I am leaning heavily towards "yes" but it will have to wait until I can get a video card that is capable of handling the higher end graphics (64mb just don't get it these days). I just added more memory to my computer and will be adding the larger hard drive as soon as I replace my DVD RW drive. Then I can think about grphics cards. Would 512mb of video memory improve the game? So sztartur, don't be demotivated. You are a great modder. Chris.

Chris, short answer, yes. Long answer, there is more to video cards than just the memory. But let's not discuss that here.

Trying to use this mod but I keep getting a CTD with windows "application has stopped working" message.  It always happens when the red 'tank tracks' bar on the load screen for a scenario gets to "Loading Units" *if* the scenario calls for infantry (not surprising i suppose).

I'm using JSGME and JMass's download (I tried downloading from sztartur's link as well but still having the same CTD).  Can't figure out what is causing this.  Clearly there is something in the mod that is not 'taking' when the "Loading Units" begins.  I made sure I have the "limit units" option *not* selected.

Any ideas?

[junk2drive]

Do you have the beta update installed?

[sandman2575]

ah, that was the problem.  installed beta and now got the mod working....

many thanks for the quick reply!    it's fun to be getting back into PZC... haven't really played since Kharkov, and that was a long while ago.  Ostfront is an amazing upgrade...

[Jacko]

Will this mod work with the latest patch, guys? And didn't have an adjustment in the latest patch through which some soldiers were wearing caps instead of helmets? Seems to have disappeared in this patch.

To answer your question, the original 10 men squad mod still works in the latest patch.

With that you mean the one at the start of this thread I take it? I'm asking this since my game crashed after installing this mod. After removing it again no problem. Might have been coincidence.

Try the one above in 43 or 46

That seems to work fine, thanks. However, when I close the battle the game freezes. Probably nothing to do with this mod, but strange enough.
