If you have any question regarding models I will gladly answer. Now I'm working on the colored pictures for them using GIP 6.0 and those that aren't in GIP the google and wikipedia and for coloring the Recolored. Yet I'm done with US SOV ITA and JAP.
I wonder how will you use the added brigades came from arma doomsday one time.

Hi TZoli!
Thanks for your offer. And cool news about the new Pics.
For the Brigs in the new Version of AHOI:
I must say, I haven't thought about that yet.
All I know is right know, that I'll use nearly allmost all 10 Models.
Since the Brig System will change, there would be also no need for exact pictures of Models anymore. But it would of course be cool to see nice pics from Tigers and Pershings etc.. :)
I hope I can bring out a first view of the new tech tree soon to let everybody see where this Mod is going to.

I noticed that Nationalist China is almost always Won agnaist AI Japan at Normal(Hard)-Agressive difficulty. I wonder if this coused by DAIM or from SMEP?
Click to expand...

I don't know how this happens to your games. In my games most of the times Japan wins. And I guess in DAIM it should be the same way around.
Also I thought that I left only the AI files form DAIM in the package with SMEP and DAIM.

Can anybody confirm that expierience from TZoli?

Best regards!

I wonder if it can sove my problem if I install the latest DAIM and SMEP. And wouldn't they make errors?
And for the Graphics for this mod I use Colored ones if okay and I will try to find accurate Tech pictures too for the new technologies.

I don't think that is a good Idea, because I had to change all a bit to work together. So if you jsut install SMEP and DAIM over it again, than some events from AHOI would be missing.

But make a copy of your game now and give it a try. Maybe it works. :)

For the pics.
Make them as you want. But maybe you want to wait a bit for the new techtree ?

Greetings,
Chromos
 
For first I only Create the Tech pics and not put them in the game. I wait till I got all pictures for the new techs.
You decided to add or remove a few techs thats why you warned me? :)

Yes, the new version will have around 1300 - 1500 techs..
Compared to now, that is a lot more.
:D

Auch Can the tech tree screen show that much technologies??? :D
Then I concentrate on the model and brigade pictures and wait till the giant tech tree. :D
GIP 6.0 is very helpful however I have many work with France...
 
I finished with the Graphics for divisions and brigades for all the Major countries. (USA,SOV,JAP,ITA,GER,FRA,ENG) and a little modification to the actual models.csv. If you agree I upload the package with the models.csv and a readme in rar to somewhere on the internet.
I only used the GIP 6.0 for start but the rest of the pictures are my work.
Later I will add the minor countries too, but I think this good for one.
Waiting your reply :)

I deleted pictures for only 2 brigade types the CAG and the Elite brigades, if this is not a problem.

Hi Andri,
nice to see anyone who likes the mod here. Gives me some extra motivation..

I still have not much time but much to code until the next release.
So, maybe I should take some holidays..

Hi Tzoli,
Yes, it is possible. You can't have that long names that before (for the view in the branch), but I thing that is not necessary either.
I extended the slots to 26 rows with 8 techs in one row.
So in the end it is possible to have up to 180 techs in one branch.
(~200 theroretical and ~180 practical)

Thats ok for me. The Elite was just a placeholder to have a picture at all.

Again, I'm working on the next version.
So hold out!
:)

Have a nice day alltogether!

Hi Tzoli!
Very nice and good work!
Only think I noticed so far:
You should check/edit the generic/nation specific brigs once more.
Many Nations have no pic for the Elite and CAG, that should be added, or the countrys with no specific pics have no one at all.

(like ENG, Ger etc. has no Elite/CAG pic for now.)

I thought you added already a nation specific pic for CAG/Elite for these nations...
Sorry for the misunderstanding. :wacko:
So please at least add a generic pic or any Nation with none own pic has no pic at all for that brig.

I like my Brig-Icons more, or better, I like the different colours with my Brig-Icons more. The Icon itself is just a work of some Minutes..
So you can see more easily wicht type of Brig it is. :D

Again, great work! The pics look very good.
Anyone who likes to have better graphics than in "vanilla-AHOI" should download it and have a look when ready!
Please go on with this good work!
:)

Best regards,
Chromos

Now let me explain your notices :)
1st. I deleted the CAG birgade pictures that we can see in more detail the Carriers (a brigade icon let you only see 3/4th of the picture of the ship and that I find a little annoying.)
2nd. For the elite brigades I think that medallion pitures (becuse they are elite more expereince) are better but as you seen the icon are a medallion too :)
3rd. Originally your icons are not compatible with Armabecuse of the new naval brigades and your icons all sliped. So I created to be good for Arma and become as HOI2 ist as the others.

But in the next relase I will add an directory where you can find pictures for these brigades.
And also even more pictures to the minor nations.
 
I found a little annoying thing that Italy tends to join germany far before (around 1939) the creation of Vichy France. Can this somehow fixed?

As far as I remember, I didn't touch the italy AI in that concern..

And I also noticed that behaviour in some testgames..

Normaly there is a trigger that checks if Germany already conquered Paris and only then Italy would join, But it seem that there is a possibility to get around that..

I would like if Italy joined me earlier, so I could trade some blueprints.. hehe

I think I found the problem:
italian events:

#########################################################################
# Italy joins the Axis
#########################################################################
event = {
id = 2906
random = no
country = ITA

# Triggered by GER 2905A

name = "On the Seine"
desc = "When the war initially broke out, Mussolini was reluctant to join, both out of fear that the new war would be a bloody stalemate like the last one and out of the knowledge that Italy would not be truly prepared until the early 40s. A disappointed Hitler asked for Italian support in the form of propaganda, something Mussolini could agree to. However, when the fall of France seemed imminent, Mussolini agreed to join the war on Germany's side in the hope that Italy would gain the spoils of war."
style = 0
picture = "german_replacements"

action_a = {
name = "Kick France while she is down!" # Italy joins the Axis
ai_chance = 100
command = { type = alliance which = GER } #
}
action_b = {
name = "Let us keep our options open..." # Opportunists
ai_chance = 0
command = { type = relation which = GER value = -20 }
}
}

It looks like the trigger commented so it will always joins.
 
TZoli said:
If we add this to the commented line I think it will do the trick
trigger = {
event = 2915
}

Hi Tzoli!
I checked the event today.
Your workaround should work.
But I can't find the event 2905A. Did you found it?

You can also delete the italian event 2906. Because it is nearly the same as the german one.
Or better, rewrite the German one for ITA, if german is not AI controlled but ITA is AI controlled and give them a chance to join the Axis with 90%..
Depends on the Event 2905A and what is written there. ;)

What do you think?

(additional note, I guess it is some of the SMEP-Events.)

Greetings
Chromos
 
I just found that event, I never make an event by myself so I don't really know what to do. Also I had to modify the Italian AI to not to improve the relations (Otherwise it's the same that Italy joins too early) with them so when Germany controls Paris italy most likely to join.
And another question now you works only on the Techs yes? And when you finishes there be a few new events too?
