"Does a mod like this exist...?"

[Panzergruppe]

I was going to start a thread about if a mod existed that I had thought about, but seeing as how I'll probably ask that question more times, I figured one thread is enough. Also, some other curious forumite might also have questions to that nature.

Does a mod exist, set in the 30' or 40's, where WW1 never happened? Where all the countries in Europe look the same territory-wise, have the same ruler or legitimate succesor (if monarchy), but are more technically advanced? Naturally, some techs like tanks couldn't have evolved, and some countries probably doesn't look the same, but essentially what would have happened in real time if WW1 didn't happen. I'm looking for DH mods, but HoI2 and AoD is of interest, if there isn't any for DH.

There's A Peace to End All Peaces mod, but it is for HoI2 DDA

 

[Panzergruppe]

Thanks mate. Will look into it.

Wow, that looks like a really fun mod, how did I miss it? I guess I "missed out" on playing other mods because I had so much fun with WiF...darn you FT!

 

[Panzergruppe]

Downloaded that mod, but I can't use it with DH Core, CTD when I load a scenario. Too bad. Thanks anyway gll25.

New question: Does a mod exist with battle scenarios for the DH map? I'm thinking battle scenarios like the original ones for HoI2, but converted for the DH map. Other battle scenarios would be more fun I guess.

A really great mod ... any volunteers to convert for DH ? I'm not able to do it

I'm just getting comfortable with modding the Misc. text. Otherwise I'd give it a try.

Try this: Copy the mod like every mod into the right folder. In DH's mainfolder there is a folder named 'modding documentation'. Copy the files of this folder. Go into mod's folder and paste the files you had copied and replace the old ones.

I don't see how copying over these files into the mod's main folder (where only "config.eu" and "Readme.doc" exist) will do anything, as these files won't overwrite anything.

 

[Arturius]

Ah ok, you have to fix the bugs that are displayed at scenario start.

Well, usually a dialog box comes up with a text that says something like: "Excel files missing", or: "Problem with this or that file", but it instantly CTD. Are there files I need to replace in order to run a mod for ARMA on DH Core (which, if I understand it correctly, basically is ARMA 1.3a)?

I believe PTEAP is not for Arma 1.3a. It was made for DD and it was Arma compatible but the newest version is quite old, so I believe it is for arma 1.2

As I said, there are bugs (typos in modded code) that cause the CTDs. Replace the folders with the attached ones. There are still bugs and error messages will be appear but now it's startable.

[whatguts]

will this only be a simple conversion or will there be difference between The War That Never Was and this mod?

Thanks for the help! Now it works. Had great fun with this mod, alot of time was invested in making this mod, that's quite obvious. All the events, and the map which is modified with authentic names for cities.

Ty Arturius for the gift !
I think we can open a thread for a possible porting of the mod in DH's world. What do you think about ?

 

[ewphoenix123]

This should fix the remaining obvious errors, just in case someone would like to make a repack of the mod and revive it as a proper dh light mod.

Thank you Phoenix, i can repack the mod for the DH Light but i think we must call the permission of General_Grant. Anybody knows him ?

So guys, no DH battle scenarios mod?

Yugoslav Wars. Code Geass. Battlescenarios are broken in 1.02 though.
