CORE 0.31 released!

[Hagar]

The C.O.R.E. team is happy to announce the release of version 0.3.1

The version is a bugfix version for bugs reported for 0.3. It is a standalone installation and requires a HoI2 installation of Doomdsday 1.3 or Armageddon 1.1 to be installed.

As with 0.3 full Armageddon support is not yet available so some features of Armageddon may come out a litte off from what you might expect.

Notice that there has been slight changes in the tech numbers so old savegames my not work anymore.

The new version can be downloaded from the download section at www.terranova.dk.

The new version works with the 0.3 Gfx downloads also available for download at www.terranova.dk.

A manual is inclosed in the installer.

The changelog for the new version is as listed below:

Is there anywhere to get this that does NOT require "yet-another-login-and-yet-another-password-to-yet-another-site"?

 

[Hagar]

You can get it at Filefront here...

 

[juv95hrn]

Is it possible to install it over your old 0.30 installation or do you have delete and make a completely new insallation?

 

[Zebedee]

Thank you Was just looking for something to play this afternoon while listening to the football. Superb timing!

You can almost certainly install it over your 0.30 install, but it would be safer to delete the whole "mod-CORE2" folder, and then install 0.31 - less chance of something getting "left behind".

Note that (because of some technical changes), save games from 0.30 games might not work with 0.31 - it may depend how far through the game you have gone, etc.

The ZIP versions are available as of now:

CORE 0.31 for Doomsday (Zipped)

CORE 0.31 for Armageddon (Zipped)

 

[Ragnoff]

After unzipping the ARM version, do I just move the gpx and mod sub-folders to my HoI2Doomsday folder? And where to I put the unins files?

The uninstall files aren't important, for you at least (I created the zips by using the installer, then zip the result). As to the mod-folder, yes just copy them into your DD directory. For the gfx folder, just make sure you don't overwrite existing files, only add new ones.

 

[Lothos]

Will get some mirrors up soon.

Hello, I'm receiving a CTD each time I attempt to load a scenario for CORE 0.31.5. Not sure if I did the installation correctly. It's a fresh install.

HOI2D, then my downloaded Armageddon 1.0a, then Armageddon 1.1 patch, then CORE 0.31.5, selecting the Armageddon option for installation...did I miss a step along the way?

Thanks in advance...

That install order seems correct to me. When you say you get a CTD when you try to load a scenario, do you mean when you click on the CORE II scenario in the pick list (It should be the only visible scenario, by the way) ? Or do you mean at some other stage ?

I click COREII, the only scenario listed. I tried Soviet Union and Germany just to make sure....the loading bar starts up and then crashes before it fills up.

Hi,

That is odd and AFAIK has not been reported before. The game "normally" doesn't CTD during the load up either from my experience. When I've had load problems it's usually been with the game just hanging up, and then needing to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out of it.

Ok, slap me. I figured it out...I was installing HOI:A patches but forgot to go into my GG Downloader to install Armageddon itself! Sorry for the false alarm. Now I'm contentedly enjoying the Soviet Union.

 

[ShadoWarrior]

Ok, slap me.

Slap! :wacko:

If it makes you feel better, I made the same mistake myself
