Aces' Kubelwagon radio car v1 readme.

Welcome,

This mod for Steel Fury features a new version of Maleshking & Stone2009's excellent Kubelwagon 3D model. I have added a Torn.Fu.d.2 radio transceiver and battery pack, accessories, jerry cans and radio operator wearing headphones. I have also re-skinned the model in panzer-grey colour scheme and added suitable tactical and national markings. The mod also features real Kubelwagon engine sound and morse code message sound effects.

Install to your "Mods" folder and enable using JSGME. If you are using my earlier SdkFz 251 and/or German Equipment mods then enable the Kublewagon mod after these mods.

Aces

Released my friend ! Happy birthday ! ;)

Great work ,carnt wait to try it out  ;D

Looks great ! I'll try it and let you know.... Thanks!

Hi Aces,

Unfortunatelly I have bad news...

If I install just the essential mods:

********************************
Unofficial_patch_SF_v0.1_eng
Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5_beta
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_ENG
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_patch_JUNE
Aces Kubelwagon Radio Car v1
*********************************

I get a critical error when I try to load a mission (for example the first Friedericus campaign mission).

Can anybody use the mod without problems?

Please, report here !!

Hi mate,

Sorry to hear that you've had problems, modding for this game is a real PITA.

What I've done is compress all the files in my cofig and levels folder and uploaded them here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?lwdak1sdnsnkdm1 (http://www.mediafire.com/?lwdak1sdnsnkdm1)

It is a bit of a sledgehammer approach but worth a try. Install after the mods in your list. I cannot gaurantee that there aren't some mission files in there that might not run but the main point is to see if there's a file that I've got that you haven't. As I'm running SPM 1.5 with both the ultimate update and june patch the files should all be there. You can always just un-install it after you've tried it. I modified the Wermacht campaign mission "Andrekeeva" SP. to try out the Kubel as there's aren't any specific mission for it yet.

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Aces

PS, if it works then you could also re-install my infantry other mods as per the order in my first post and see if it helps there as well.

Sorry Aces, it does not work. With the last patch I get the same problems.

It is extrange but if I install just these mods:

***********************
Unofficial_patch_SF_v0.1_eng
Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5_beta
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_ENG
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_patch_JUNE
Aces SdkFz251 3D Model, Crew and Texture Mod v3
Aces German Personnel Equipment Mod v1
************************

I can start the missions without problems. It seems that the problem arises when I install Personnel Equipment Mod v2 (inc. signals crew)...


Txema

Okay mate,

Thanks for trying, just to check you installed the new download after the kubelwagon mod without my other mods?.

I'm at a loss to explain, the other day I checked the files included in the equipment mod v2 vs spm 1.5 mods and my patch and I can't see any other files that are effected. My best guess is that it is a memory thing. The only difference between v1 of my infantry mod and v2 is a few files, the .go files for the radio equipment and accompanying tectures the rest are config file additions which I have incorporfated in the previous patch. I can even run my mods without the patch and they work!, the recent patch was an attempt to make my work 100% compat with the latest SPM1.5 patch. It's sould destroying producing mods that run just fine here but not in some cases elsewhere. It's even more of a mods soup that SH3 and that's saying something!.

Back to the drawing board. I think that after I finish my 251/2 mod then I'll part company with SF as it's a real pain to mod for.

Cheers

Aces

ps: one last thing you could try is to activate the equipment mod v2 AFTER the v1 rather than instead of v1 incase there's a file missing in v2 but I'm not holding my breath on that one as I think I checked one against the other.

Yes I intalled just:

********************************
Unofficial_patch_SF_v0.1_eng
Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5_beta
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_ENG
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_patch_JUNE
Aces Kubelwagon Radio Car v1
Aces SF Config and Levels Folders
*********************************

I have also tried activating the equipment mod v2 AFTER the v1.... unfortunatelly no luck...

I have 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 64 bits. The memory problem would be strange I think....

It would be very interesting if anybody else could try just installing these mods:

********************************
Unofficial_patch_SF_v0.1_eng
Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5_beta
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_ENG
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_patch_JUNE
Aces Kubelwagon Radio Car v1
********************************

And playing the first mission of the "Friedericus 1" campaign, for example...

I do think it must be just one small thing that is missing in the mods...

And thank you very much for all your work on Steel Fury. I do really appreciate it !!!


Txema

okay, thanks for the report, I'll have another look round tomorrow, I am also wrunning Windows 7 with 4GB ram and a 2GB RAM card.

Asmy last upload didn't fix things then the files must be in another folder/s. If you eliminate the textures and go folders (as I can't have missed a texture or go file from v2, I'll check) then I think it is time to look at the other files/folders.

Cheers

Aces

Hi mate,

I just installed another clean install of SF and I'm currently activating just the mods you have mentioned and will be testing today. I will report back later.

Regards

Aces

Edit1: I think I might have nailed it, you are correct it is one file. I just need to see what the problem is and then I should be able to release a one file fix for both the equipment v2 and kubel mods. :)

Edit2: This doesn't make much sense, I've spent 6 hours going round in circles. I've founf the line in the file that seems to be causing the problem but there isn't anything wrong with it and the related entries in other relating files. As I copied over the equipment v2 mod from my other game mods folder I know it is the same and there it works so it must surely be related to another mod or file left over from a mod that's lurking somewhere. What a "$%$£$% to find!. :(. I can resolve the problem but it would mean loosing the only benefit of v2 versus v1 and that's the radfio gear so there's no point in doing that.

Got it!,

Please see here for patch details amd download links:

Hope it does the trick,

PS. The problem seems to have been two-fold. Firstly there was a an anim  "go" file that I made that was in my games folder but I omitted from the German Equipment mod v2 when I zipped it up. That's why it worked for me and not for others. Then there was a slight problem with a missing "," in one of the .engcfg files. Ironic really, hours of modelling and texture work undone by two very small things!.

Where the fook, this fooked accumulator battery for the fooked radio station???
:D :D :D

Sorry Alex, I don't understand?

Regards

Aces

PS: I had to go to a residents' meeting yesterday evening that lasted for ages and we didn't get back till late, will send you the .max file this evening.

It means that crew of the kubelwagen can't find accumulator for the radiostation, that's why they have such funny positions :D

not in my original mod they don't? :D, what is accumulator?

Also, the crew you have aren't the same as intended to use with my mod eg. no headphones on radio operator.

it's from er model with 3lod's :)

A battery, which supply with energy a device, i.e. radiostation.

No, I just placed only er radio-car. All other stuff should be implemented in the next SPM UU. My mod-missions are always has a test character.

That's the one that I did the other evening not the release version, that's why I was getting confused Alex. LODs 2 and 3 didn't have "s" or "p" fragments but I will send you the 3d max file later by e-mail as promised. That file I sent you the other day was not for public consumption until finished so I wasn't expecting you to post it here :)

I know it is a battery!, but I couldn't see what that had to do with the crew positions was that a joke perhaps? :)

Okay on the crew, I wanted the crew to be as per my original mod.

Kind regards

Leigh

Edit: I though it was the original model that you were using as it was posted to this thread, that's probably why I was confused :D

I can't help myself to post this funny picture :) Of course, it's only picture, no any files(made by u) were not uploaded.

Of course, I'm kidding :D When I saw picture at first time, it right immediately occurred to my mind, that crew try to find smth. inside the car and I decided - OK, let it be a battery :)

Then I'd to install all other stuff from er mod, but I just want to include into mission only er radio-car(as we had a deal before). If it's not possible, then OK, I'll replace it on the smth. else. But I took er car from the mod "Aces Kubelwagon Radio Car v1" and there were no any restrictions for using this car without additional stuff ;)


It was a model with 3 lod's.

LOL Alex,

I'm pretty tired today didn't get back till late yesterday evening and didn't sleep well so not very fast of thought today :D.

You know I'll help in any way that I can, I'll send you the max file this evening when I get in from work. I'm really looking forward to seeing the radio car in a mission. Your missions are always fun and I love seeing the less "usual" vehicles in missions, great fun, amkes a very welcome change and adds variety to the game.

Kind regards my friend.

Aces

Leigh, it has been accustomed for me to using a new stuff in all my missions ;) It's always interesting and has a some kind of challenge: can I play with madness? :)
I suggest to discuss all details by skype, when u'll have a time and fully rested ;)

Will do Alex, I love interesting missions the game needs them and they make for some very entertaining gameplay.

Have a good day my friend.

Cheers

Leigh
