======== same in german ===========

Wir haben uns entschlossen auf http://www.heartsofiron.eu/forum/index.php ein Subforum für die deutsche community zu eröffnen.
DMP wird in nächster Zeit versuchen ein paar grafische Mods zu Operation Barbarossa auf die Beine zu stellen.
Vielleicht auch ein paar neue Kampagnen, hängt davon ab wieviel Fans das Spiel findet.
Ich werde aber auch hier erschienen Mods kurz präsentieren.

Hi Jaegerfeld,

Welcome and thanks for your support! I hope you all have fun playing and modding Operation Barbarossa. Please keep us posted and feel free to post any mods and news regarding them here as well.

Regards,

- Erik

I must be missing something,but I don't see anything on this site for operation barbarossa.
Thanks

I was going to post the same..I hope this was not a cheap way to spam an HOI site....

Maybe it's a misunderstanding of this OB game. Maybe they have a OB mod for HOI.

Hello,

no, they mean doing stuff for Operation Barbarossa:

http://www.heartsofiron.eu/forum/viewforum.php?f=1135

We are supporting this effort and are looking forward to the upcoming mods.

Changed the link in the first post, sorry for the misunderstandings.

Yesterday we decided to put OB on the toplevel of the DMP board.
At the moment we are checking what is possible and what not.

I think we will support OB with new textures and maybe new models soon.
We are thinking about new scenarios, too.

DMP is changing from Paradox Interactive only mods(due to that BUGGY HOI3) to all strategy games.
There will be mods for other Matrix Games, too (War in the pacific AE e.g.).
One of the founders of DMP is Geraldino, maker of the german translation for Rising Sun.

I will keep you informed.

Yours Jaegerfeld

Sounds good, looking forward to it.

Reworked the KV1 Tank today.
The whole model, not only the texture.



Yes, i know it's ugly as hell.... but it was only the first try.
I hope that i will be able to rework all the units in the game.
AND on step two make new ones, maybe a whole new scenario (africa?).


German workshop:

http://www.heartsofiron.eu/forum/viewto ... 06#p624706

I will be very busy next week but i will make a short How To the next days/two weeks.

I'm sure many people are appreciating your work, Jaegerfeld. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to help. But with more units and operations, this could be one heck of a project. Thank you.

Thx, i try to form a modding /support team for OB.
I'm a great fan of the Panzergeneral series, maybe we can build our own PG.

Btw. : I'm searching for Blender specialists. I'm just a C# /XNA Programmer, i NEED artists.

I hope that we can recruit many german fans on the day OB is released in german.
DMP always tries to release all mods multilingual.(that means german & english )

I've made a short Tutorial
" How to convert a model from Civ4 to OB"

here:
German Workshop

It's in german, sorry folks.
Maybe i translate it to english someday.

I see talk of a North Afrika mod. How are you adding the Allies?

Hello,

ORIGINAL: junk2drive

I see talk of a North Afrika mod. How are you adding the Allies?

in v1.14 there are two new nations, Italy and GB - they were added to support the mod.

We just did not announce the fact as the nations are empty and of no use for the common players.

That is news and good news as well. I'll keep watching.

BTW the English button doesn't work on their forum. Can anyone recommend a way to translate?

BTW the English button doesn't work on their forum

Which browser do you use? For me it works fine (Opera)
But only the interface will be translated, not the content.

After finishing the german version of Afrika Mod we will translate the mod into english, thats for sure (we always do).

I'm very busy at the moment, but i think we can release the afrika mod in early spring '10. Maybe earlier, 'cause after february 8th i will have much time to finish the mod.
A new units - only beta version will be released as soon as possible ( late december? first week of january?)

Firefox but I see now that it is only the interface that changes.

I found a add-on that translates blocks of text quickly with google.

I registered for the forums and will read your progress now that I can see the pictures and translate.

I hope to see some interest in French armour for May-June 1940 battles.

I hope to see some interest in French armour for May-June 1940 battles.

Maybe in the future.
At the moment there are no french units in the game, perhaps the devs will add them?.
But for now i will be happy when the africa Mod is finished.(and running without bugs)

I see reference to Free and Vichy French units for NA. You could use Benelux until R&R add France to the game.

We will see, i think we can release a first beta of the Africa Mod in mid february.
I will be very busy until the end of janaury, due to exams.( I'm a student of Computer Science)
But i will have much time in february & march.

At the moment I'm collecting many italian unit models for converting them into OGRE mesh.
