I'm all in favour of 3, 4 and 5! They need proper translation, though  :)

And I'm sure there should be "Prokhorovka" by Rend vs additional mission for T-70 against panther/tiger/ferdinand  ;D  8)  ::)

ps
Suppose, t-70 were for about 40% of the soviet tanks.

I'm sure this is a minor quibble, but shouldn't the Prokhorovka mission use the T-34/76 model 1943 as well as the T-70?

And actually the Elefant and Panther tanks were nowhere near the scene,

My own opinion.

1)Kyth's 10 missions are a must and should repalce to stock Panzer III campaignwhich is a mere replica of the Panzer IV one.Kyth's missions are much better and should be part of any release! :)


2) Lockie's T35e, SU100,and Jagpanther should also be included both because they are good and also allow some of the new models to be played

3) Stone's Shahovo and Cherkasskoye as well.

4)Deviator's Panther/T34/85 missions as single missions.

5) It would be nice to have the T70 in Prokhorovka but not against the Elefant or Panther.If only we had another variant of the Panzer IV!!!!
The Stug III G would  be a natural opponent not to mention Panzer IVF1 and 2 and Panzer III( too bad we don't have the model with schuerzen).The Tiger I would have to be included as they were present....

It's possible to make modification to the mission and replace T-34-76 on T-34-42, but author Rends.
Also I'd like to add mission by deviator for StugIIIF vs KV-1e (I've permission from author for modification) and mission for SU-85.

ps
Suppose, t-70 were for about 40% of the soviet tanks.

In July 1942 possibly but by mid 1943 I don't think so.....The T34 in all its pre t34/85 variants would probably represent 33% with all the other Ts accounting for another 35% and the KVs1,2,85), Land Lease tanks, SUs and trophy tanks the rest.

It was more like 50-30-20, (T-34, T-70, everything else) take a look at these figures:

http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/battles/Kursk/Zamulin_3_ZKB/Zamulin_3_05.htm (http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/battles/Kursk/Zamulin_3_ZKB/Zamulin_3_05.htm)

I think it would be very good to have this mission pack. Excellent idea !!

However I think that the "desert" mod can not be included because activating it would turn most of the game textures into desert textures (maps, tanks, soldiers...). The "desert" mod must be activated just to play the desert missions. When you finish playing them you must desactivate it... Am I right ?


Txema

  This was true with SP1.4 now with Beta 1.5 I have the missions included in the user-made missions menu and they still have their desert gold colours without tainting the rest of the game models.I think the best solution is to move them into the user_camp folder so they remain permanently in the game without needing to be enabled and disenabled all the time.This seems also to solve the issue of their textures overwriting the game's stock textures.

Great !!

Very good news !!

I don't have all the download links, however if you give them too me I'll merge all the files and make a super-mission pack, complete with readme's and everything

Should it be user missions or single?

Hi, just a bit to say about the Desert Mod
- the missions and maps are totally compatible with the stock game.
- the desert mod skins (desert yellow) apply to the Pz III, Pz IV, StugIII C/D, Sk250, Sk251, Mk2 Matilda and Mk3 Valentine. You might not notice them if you use other tanks, but it's a good idea to install or uninstall them separately.

I'd just keep it a combination of User-missions, campaigns, and single missions for now...

OK. Du u've initial missions pack for testing?

I have some, not all though

OK, let's have a look ;)

MISSIONS (that I have)-

-Rends Prohokova mission
-Kyth's campaign
-Lockie's Stug III F mission
-Lockie's "Hurry up Kubelwagen" mission

MISSIONS (requested)-
-Desert Mod
-Deviator's missions
-Cherkasskoe mission
-Shokovo mission

At this moment, I've a doubts - should we include campaign by Rends in pack?
First: I don't have author permission.
Second: I'd be more interested to see mission vs T-70, but again we need author permission to modify his content.
There's only one mission vs content modification - T-28: in battle (I've created it ~half an year ago) And I'll upload it perhaps today vs some tiny adjustments.

OK.
OK.
It needs to be adjusted according to the new content of SPM1.5 NTA1.3(I'll do it soon).

Still under question, coz it needs some additional textures.

That would be fine! Du u've all of them? Means missions on the polygons: BSSR, BSSR2?
And what about translation into english?

OK.

I've my variant to hold on Shakhovo vs a bit complicated script, but I need author permission to modification.
Finally, what I'd like to suggest. What du u think, comrades, if we create a company, let's say "MISSION PACK SPM1.5 NTA1.3" vs all missions devoted to the new technics and remove ability "try". I mean, all missions will be initially opened. User just have to pick up what he really wants.

 ???
I'm not sure how that works - do you want those missions all displayed at the start, like the Single Missions?

Yep! And user'll have ability right immediately to see what the new missions and what techniqs took a part. Of course, except er campaign. It's original one and has a personal state, and already prepared.

Sounds good  :)

At this moment, I've a doubts - should we include campaign by Rends in pack?
First: I don't have author permission.
Second: I'd be more interested to see mission vs T-70, but again we need author permission to modify his content.

Hi lockie,
If you would like I can ask Rends for you or at least ask him too PM you here to discuss it. I have been a friend of Rends for awhile, but that aside I really feel that not including his Prohokova missions (modified or not) just wouldn't be right. For us western players he did give most of us our first taste of battle in the new SPM 1.5 Panther which to me was a milestone for SFK42. While Rends is not as active in making missions like some here (Kyth/lockie/frinik and anyone I forgot to mention...God bless ya  :) ). He is still making missions, abit at a slower pace. While I cannot give specifics he is active right now in making some new missions. I do not know if he is current with the new developments with SPM 1.5 NTA 1.3, but I think it would be a good ideal to ask him if he would like to get on board.
Cheers
Panzerfaust

  I second that!Rends made good missions and a nice map I am happy to use !
We actually need all Kursk mission versions, Stone's Cherkasskoye, Shahovo and Rend's.I am sure hwe won't mind having them included since his Brest/ panzer III mission is already part of the single missions

Hi guys. I love the idea that someone makes a mission pack. I hope it will be self install for easy use (beside the text editing files).
And yes you can include my Prokhorovka map. About modifying it. Please PM me and we can talk about the changes you want to do.

Hi, Rends!
That would be nice, if u make modification to er missions by erself ;)
As my point, there should be a couple T-70 added/replaced and one mission completely devoted to T-70.

He is already here :) Thanks for help.

I suggest to put the missions that are listed under User missions to single missions.

  Hi Rends! Good to hear from you.I speculated that thought you had retired in a monastery somewhere in the Bavarian Alps ;)

Are you still working on a Barbarossa campaign?

Did you create a map for your Brest Panzer III mission or did you use one of the game's maps? Can't place it?

Cheers!

Hi frinik, well the Barbarossa campaign is still on the todo list but i will release some Orel missions first. But progress is slowly at the moment so don´t expect any release soon.
And all maps are new and created by myself i have no plan to use stock ones.

  Well your maps rock Rends! I truly love your Kursk it's the best of all the Kursk maps that i have seens in the game and great for ambushes.Your Brest map too is fun to use!

Orel ?July or August 1943?

Hopefully by then, they will have added PanzerIV Js or Panzer III Ns to the ME.That would be fun to have them included in your missions§

Eagerly waiting for your next release§

Cheers!

Rends, in my game I've swapped out the t-34 mod 1941's for mod 1943's and KV-1's for KV-1E's, do you have any intent to do this officially?

To tell you the truth. In Mission Editor i always get confused about the tank list of the russian side so i´m not always sure wich model to choose. So what´s the ME entry for the 43 version of the T34? (But notice that the T34-85 was not in field at summer 43 if you mean this one.)

BTW: It would be great if someone would make a list of tank models and the  ME entry names!

It's quite simple for SPM and NTA mods. See files:
- SPM1.5 NTA 1.1_units.text
- SPM1.5_units.text
http://www.4shared.com/file/ymCpWKid/english_version_NTA13.html

Thx but i I know the files already . I will create a new thread about my question so it won´t hijack this one.

It’s mostly for testing, coz I still wonder how to organize the pack more comfortable. Polygons takes too much place. In the future, there will be a fix SPM1.5 NTA1.3.1, which now wasn’t included.

 Lockie this is great but I have  questions

I have a lot of these missions already; Shahovo, Jagdpanther, T35, T28, Starovselie, SU 100, Hold on Kovalkovo etc.What am I supposed to do with them?Uninstall them?The mission pack is made up ofindividual  datapack files you just unpack through the ME or is it a mod type wityh all the missions included?

How come Cherkasskoe Beta is not included?

lockie,
nice collection of missions.
Just one question. Why didn´t you add the original Prokhorovka missions to the pack?

Yes, very nice collection of missions. Thank you very much for putting them together, Lockie !!!

However I agree with Rends and Frinik. It would be very nice to have the original Prokhorovka missions and the Cherkasskoe Beta included in this pack.

Thanks again for your work. It makes things much simpler with Steel Fury mods and I do appreciate it very much.  :)


Txema

Let's rock'n roll ! Thanks Lockie !!  :D

First of all, thanks friends for er good words as for my modest work ;)

That's why the pack is under testing. I can't resolve the problem vs already installed missions. If I were u, I'd install absent missions manually in the game.

The pack was made to provide as simple installation as possible. No need to generate polygons or write additional lines into game files.

Well, it wasn't translated as Shakhovo either :(

I did! There's a folder cm_prokho vs all er missions+T-70. I don't understand what the mistake happend?
Suppose, I forgot to write it down to the list, what the missions were included into the pack. Plz, check them out, coz I'm confused. Finally, there are 23+6 missions by Rends.

Havn´t had time to test the mission pack yet (i´m busy with my 3rd Orel mission). I only missed the Prokhorovka missions in your list. If they are in the pack it´s great :)

Waow ! It's the tanks simulator with the number of tanks and vehicles ready to be controled the most important I have ever seen ! It's very closed to Panzer Elite ! ;)

Hi all,

I'm a French player of Steel fury Kharkov 1942

I to try of formidable MOD of this game and I download the pack of missions.

The problem is that at the time of clicking on one mission of the pack, i have a return of office and i have a error message...

"Exception core:
005: Unable to load texture.

[ kurskkarte ]"


I need help

Thank you +++

Hey mate ! Nice to see you here !

-sf_fix_widescreen_bug=2

-KythCampaign=6
-MOD T-34 crew head movement=7
-PzIV_Dirty_SF=8
-Rends_Prokhorovka_Version1=9
-Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5_beta_fix=10
-Deviator_BSSR2_polygon=11
-Cherkasskoe_beta=12
-sokolovo_datapack=13
-gunsight_dam_fix_12=14

Schuss !

Hi all,

Ty Jochem, I download "Rends_Prokhorovka_Version1" and i play with missions of pack thx again

+++

 Thanks Lockie this is great work and excellent news!A bit like Christmas in June ;D

OK I guess you answered my question; the missions can be installed individually rather than all as a single pack.

I have Rends Prokhorovka,s missions installed as a campaign thus if I have them in the users_made menu there won't be a conflict.

What about Kyth's Panzer III /IV missions are they included in the pack? I have them all and I suspect lots of players as well.They are a classic and required for any serious SF player!

Cheers! ;)

I see one mistake in pack mission - kurskkarte.tga absent. It'll be fixed in the next update.

I think there wont be a conflict, coz all missions of pack were organized in one company. It does that u can install it without warning.

Don't forget it's a first pack, no wonder that there will be mistakes.

Hello everybody !

Many  thanks , Sir Lockie for this present, so wrote Frinik, it's Christmas , now !

I've only tried, now, "v Kuhari January 1944 with the Brummbear and "v Zaronovo January 44" with the Marder III
How realistic and nice are these two missions !

I hope (and many people here) you will continue ,

Many thanks again for that all!

It's just a compilation and I know that my english is bad. So, I would be pleased if some1 would fix the text and I'll include it in the next update. Plz, PM to me who will be ready to do that.

Don't forget that author of that excellent missions is deviator from Belorussian and plus my tiny adjustment/translation ;)

Hope so, wait for er missions to be included ;)

It seems that the kurskkarte image was accidently leaved out of the missions pack. All should be fine if you install my original Prokhorovka map. I´m pretty sure the missing image will be in the next mappack version.

  Jochem in your list you forgot to add the 2 types of Marder II , the Elefant, the KV1e etc

Tried a few missions but havn´t had any luck yet.
First mission in the list shows me a 005 error (missing texture) possible loading screen?
Next i tried T-35 attack and the game crashed . Guess my PC Specs are too low for this one (MacMini 2GB RAM,256MB nvidea 9400 GPU)
Same happened in Brummbear mission. When i click on continue in mission briefing screen the tank show up for a second but then it crashed.

Is there a cherkasskoe history map to download anywhere.
Keep coming up with the following error message when loading the "txt_cm_camp_werm_4" campaign in the new missions pack file, not sure exactly what this mission is, must be in Russian;

Exception core:
005: Unable to load texture.
[ cherkasskoe ]

Norty   :(

  Norty what do you mean by history map???Do you mean the map for the mission( *poly) or are you talking about a text file with the history or nqrrqtive of the mission?

In any case they are both inside the mod itself, the Cherkasskoe Beta 2 mod...

Here is a fix (http://www.4shared.com/file/AE4oz9Jm/fix_MP_10b.html) to Mission Pack.

I think any missions vs Brummbear will be crashed, coz there was made a mistake after new numbers were applied.

Thanks Frinik. Will download the Cherkasskoe Beta 2 mod... That might help ::)

Norty72

This problem should be fixed by the latest patch released by Lockie...


Txema

MP1.1 is updated to the version 1.2.
Whats news:
1. The next lightmaps were calculated for the next polygons:
- 0_test_shoot
- BSSR1
- BSSR2
- Volga
- Zalesse_poly
2. The pace of the weather changed for the all missions.

Point #2 will add to all missions a bit of weather dynamic during mission execution.
