Anyone interesting in Pacific Mod for GC36?

[RisingSun]

Hi guys, kinda disappointed with HoI3 so i had HoI2 and DD, was told AoD was much better. So i just got this game last week and wish i got this instead of HoI3, and glad i did. Been working on this mod for sometime and almost finish.

1)Rebuild the Japan's OOB, should have correct lineout of warships and naming fields.
2)Rebuild the USN's OOB, all ships are in there except the ol' Langely as well naming fields.
3)Rebuild the ENG's OOB, been trying to get all the key names.
4)Rebuild minor country's OOB, mostly in the Pacific regions.
5)Option Icon and sprite packages.
6)Option Music pack. (Japanese only)

If there anything else i should add, change or even an ideas please share with us.

Great work. The really cool thing would be to include that in official future AoD patches - the devs should take a look at this.

I didnt feel like buying the box version, so i got this from gamergate (downloaded) and noticed few incorrect unit stats and naval techs, i got them fixed now. Believe im using 1.03 patch, all i did is change the OOBs, icons, sprites, Naval Techs, Music Themes and special background pic on start up menu. So far everything running smooth

Im really happy with this new features i put into this.

Hopefully i have this done by the weekend, just finishing up icons on planes. Only Japanese, British and American will have 3D looking planes for now.

What is really useful is unit names, models, correct OOBs and leaders, not pictures though.

 

[RisingSun]

I agreed with you too, the naming already done, most of the models are ok - very few had to correct, OOBs is done too, and the leaders will some of them will start their career sooner IE: Saburo Sakai. And the pictures (icons) didnt come out well on the one had 5 yrs ago and trying to get the models to match the 3D Pics, ground units and ships seem to be ok except a few had to corrected.

Just wait til tomorrow then you can check it out for yourself.

Sounds great. It would be nice to merge the OOB back into the default AOD.

I'll try it out this weekend if I get a chance, I was thinking about doing a Japan game but the totally ahistorical OOB was a big turnoff.

 

[RisingSun]

Well most of us and included me wanted everything it was in HISTORY, i havent touch the ground/air units, only the naval units has been altered...
OOB...
Japan (2CV, 2CVL, 6BB, 4BC, 14CA, 19CL, 76DD, 51SS and 20TP) 194 ships
USN (3CV, 15BB, 15CA, 10CL, 102DD, 47SS and 24TP) 216 ships
British (3CV, 3CVL, 12BB, 3BC, 16CA, 30CL, 113DD, 32SS and 13TP) 225 ships

All ships have named correctly and production order will be accurate.

Navy...
1st (225) British
2nd (216) USN
3rd (194) Japan

So its completely lost? No way of getting anything back? Thats a real shame, this was one fine mod.

Im working on Darkest Hour right now, and this time i will have backup, even if i have to burn it on CD.
