Sorry to raise a discordant note, but I have a problem in that it freezes on initializing provences.

My setup is as follows:-

Win7

AoD - patch 106B1 Hotfix

GRP

SKIF

CWTE 0.18

loads 1st page (bf 109 desert camo etc)

asks for scenario, country and start

loads page with bf 109 deset camo and freezes on "Initializing Provinces"

installed in own directory @ root level NOT in Program Files

Any help would be appreciated.

PS - tried again after installing patch 106B2a same result

I don't get the sense of this post so I'll move on to your next one.

ok japanese sounds are not that good really. Why traditional music while the other got more WW2 era stuff.

There is only one sound (unit upgraded) which features japanese traditional music. The rationale behind this is that I wanted to create a blend of feudal and WW2 Japan, as you can easily notice by some graphics (mouse cursor, sidebar etc.).

So, are all the Japanese sounds bad because you don't like that single one?

You can always restore AoD's default, if you wish, by going into the \Country-specific themes\Default country\sfx\wave folder and copying and pasting uufb.wav file into your aod\sfx\wave folder.

You have a lot of other custom material installed, which is most probably what's causing the freeze. To be honest, I don't know what CWTE 0.18 and GRP are and what they do change, so it's harder for me to help.

Anyway, there are basically two solutions:

1) Reinstall AoD, apply 1.06 beta2, then install the Tripartite Pack and the Corrections file (see first post in this thread for links & info).

2) Keep all the mods you want BUT manually copy my files (again: first Tripartite Pack, then Corrections) skipping \config and \db directories. This will make my mod somehow incomplete, though, but it should let you play along with all those other mods.

Hej Titan!

THX for the PM you sent me some time ago.

I'm going to download the mod rigth now ... the pics inb this thread look great.

You're welcome!

Waiting to know if you like it and if you got complaints/suggestions...

That would remove the point. I wanted some japanese WW2 stuff, adding samurais everywhere does not make a good impression tbh.
 
Nice mod! I really like the unit icons, especially the MOT/MEC and aircraft.

On a side note, I'm considering an AAR using Tripartite, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me with some swastika-free flags/topbars/backgrounds.
 
Titan,

Thanks for your reply will do as you suggest.

CWTE is Cold War Techtree Extension & GRP is typo meant Graphical Improvement Program

I was considering doing that too. RL hinders me at the moment, though, and in any case I'll wait for 1.06 before starting one. But if you're willing to do such a thing, go ahead! I'd be very interested in seeing an AAR with my icons and modifications. :)

For some "cross-free" files for Germany, download this little pack I've prepared (the different flag, shield and background are courtesy of Leonaru). Pick and replace the files you want. However, I'd suggest you to keep the original files for two reasons:

1) The cross in the background file is too big, so I had to provide a completely different image not included in the TP. I'd suggest you to simply avoid screenshots where the cross is clearly visible (which shouldn't be difficult in some menues, like production or research, where it isn't at all. Diplomacy or trade could be more troublesome, though).

2) Using these altered files will strip some immersion when you'll play your AAR (well, I guess so, at least). So, if you've got a bit of practice with gfx editing you could simply use the original TP files and put a white dot on the crosses that appear on your screenshots (for the flag, shield and so on). This is what I would do, and what I did for the screens in the first post.

No problem! But since you've got many different graphical mods (SKIF, GIP and mine) I'd suggest you to browse through my folders and manually copy&paste what you like most.
 
A little request: I'd need to find a suitable image (i.e. color drawing) to redo the Soviet cavalry icon.

If somebody spots one please let me know, thank you!

Hi Titan79,

Is this mod still good to go with 1.06B3?
Click to expand...
I'm going to update it very soon (i.e. tomorrow, most probably) so hold on. :)


EDIT: Soviet cavalry icon made from image found by Epaminondas:




EDIT 2: (03-04-2011)

The Tripartite Pack is now compatible with patch 1.06. Please download the Corrections file in the 1st post and copy it over your previous Tripartite Pack install (as explained in the same 1st post).

thanks a lot titan,

maybe if you like give this thread a bump next time so that people notice the update? - i just realized it from your mention in another thread!:wacko:
 
Hey bestmajor,

thank you! You know, to be honest I'm not a big fan of bumping threads, especially when it comes to own ones, but I might consider doing it from time to time, especially if it drops too low...

The main problem with this mod is that, although it has had almost 600 downloads, a rather limited amount of users posted a comment here in the thread. Also, to date no recognition from the dev team although I've reported my work in the Modding Contributions thread... :(

well that honours you but not your work, and TBH people dont search for older threads.

then do not update anymore until somebody posts! :D - but in general what do you want to comment for gfx and sounds? like or dont like (to quote facebook).

personally i cant imagine to play without eg the counter strip or some of the battle sounds - these are my favorites. btw are the icons complete?

Well, people could e.g. suggest some new changes to be added (like the symbols on counters you mention later). And, by the way: yes, even a simple "I like it", would motivate me to further improve the Pack. :)

Heh, thanks! Re: the improved counters I too consider them a "no way back" feature, along with the new terrain map colors.

What do you mean by "are the icons complete"? In any case, most probably the answer is no ;) , but I don't know if you're referring only to the aircraft ones or to the whole set. Anyway, majors and many minors have a (almost always) full set of icons, so to see "standard" icons (i.e. without the flag) you'll have to wage war against really "unimportant" countries (or ones that historically did not take part in WW2).

dont expect us leachers to experts in your very special territory:rofl: ! if you call sth a a ME 109 it is a ME 109 for us, even if its a FIAT XYZ123 in RL. i know this from my little mod its simply to specific for 99.9% of users (although Fürst, Hagar, ADUKES and Epa left some very useful comments).

couldnt agree more, and its a bit annoying that nobody mentioned it. as i said: a very little thing but improves things a lot! - as for terrain and colour of countries i should say sth maybe: i liked everything except that france was light brown and spain light blue (just in my imagination france is always blue - and here you go with critical comments, dude ;) ).

what i meant is the description eg for tanks (COR instead of whatever english, or TAT instead of TAC - sorry for the nerdish approach:))


EDIT: btw as you're from italy maybe you like/can use?

You're right :) but I was rather referring to suggestions regarding new/different sounds and graphics enhancements, rather than icons.

Oh, of course this is wrong! But that's due to the fact that you've not used my country.csv file which corrects this "bug". If you overwrite AoD's one (it's located in the ...\AoD\db folder) with mine, N. Spain will turn yellow again and France will be dark blue just like in the good ol' days. ;)

The COR-ARM tag has been fixed some time ago; TAT, otoh, are still there. I'll update this too in the next weeks though. Good remark, by the way! ;) (as a little hint, remember to check regularly the thread to see if I've posted an updated version of the "Corrections" file, which you can copy over you older Tripartite Pack install).

Thanks for the link, very nice pictures! But at the moment I don't think I'll use them because I don't plan to update them (it would be a huge work and I rather prefer to focus on new icons, like aircraft). Also, although I live in Italy and am partly Italian, re: WW2 I like German tactics and equipment better than Italian ones. ;)
