[IDEA] make an AOD mod for DH?

[novapaddy]

With the now expected demise of AOD, as it has slipped into the Classic genre graveyard.

I was thinking, wouldn't that make a great DH mod?

Keep AOD alive, in the new DH map, but still AOD, well, as much as is possible.

This is currently, just an idea.

Your response?:huh:

 

[ewphoenix123]

I'm all for keeping once invested work alive but how?

I havent touched AOD in a year, but from what i read in the suggestion threads:

The things drawing people to AOD are 2-3? engine features that don't exist in DH, those can't be modded in.
And the game balance/ai work of smep, and the other ai improvement mod (can't remember the name), which won't work with the new map without extensive rework. (and are at least partial redundant/incompatible as we added complete new files)

 

[novapaddy]

"... extensive rework.."

hasn't put me off before. So you reckon the best features of AOD cannot be put into DH? Pity.

I'm totally tied up for at least the next month, so this is just an idea for now.

 

[ewphoenix123]

I'm probably not the best judge about the best features of AOD. *g*

Perhabs someone else comes up with a ton of stuff that I'm not aware of, and is worth preserving.

with DH map?

it's Third Reich by Dima Stranik

FCZP: are you saying there is an AOD mod using the DH map?

 

[FCZP]

yes)
start in 33, with League of Nations, lots of new events and colored photo all ministers and leaders (generals)

Third Reich is neither 1933, nor supports DH map.
In fact, I don't think any of the AoD mods support the DH map, even though it's ported to work with AoD.
Porting them would be a better idea than porting the actual AoD.

 

[novapaddy]

I've searched twice, and I cannot find a Third Reich mod by Dima Stranik. There is a Third Reich mod by G...?,but it uses the AOD map as far as I can tell.

If you can find a link?

 

[novapaddy]

There isn't any point in doing this until DH 1.03 comes out... as I've no idea what is coming, and I'd need to know... else.. I'd end up doing the job twice?

If the devs want to email me novapaddy@gmail.com, just to let me know if this is so? Or PM me?

I don't need to know ALL your secrets, just those that would affect such a project...

I do believe Dima Stranik is a name of Gringoesteban on strategium.ru forums.
And no, it doesn't support the DH map.

OK, Thanks for your help

Okay, so those are actually two different mods by the same name and I was confused (for about a year, even), great.
That doesn't solve anything though, as this means that Russian Third Reich is well, in Russian.
English Third Reich hasn't been ported to AoD yet/might not be ever ported.

Is the mod only in Russian?

 

[FCZP]

only
and translate very hard because lot of new events for countries (not only USSR and Germany).

but it's how independ game - special troops (SS, German Paratroopers, Soviet guards, Zeppelins as early strategic bomber for German, true Soviet Great Purge and German concentration camps) and graphics (ministers and generals in color, sprites)

and in plans add new province in Antarctic (Base 211)

 

[Asami_T]

My greatest idea to add to Darkest Hour is the feature to cede provinces without having to go to Diplomatic Deals. It makes it easier to trade provinces in war (where you want to expand a puppet or grant an ally some territory after annexing, etc.)

This. This is gold. Apart from this, what other features are there in AoD that differs it from DH? I can think of the more advanced sliders in production and the "national ideas". Is it worthy of a mod?

just in case somebody is downloading this one, let me just make very clear that i am not part of this (as parts of my GFX are used in a project which should deal with Holocaust events or other things which are not allowed here or elsewhere). btw your little ss markings are plain wrong in quite a few cases.
