Rends Barbarossa campaign Version 1

This campaign includes 10 missions of the first 5 days of Panzergruppe 2 (Guderian)

Campaign difficulty can be changed using Game Option 'Force BALANCE' setting (Novice 1-3, Normal 4-6, Hard 7+)
The campaign is meant to be played at level 5




Installation instructions:



First make sure that you have the JSGME mod enabler installed and that the Steel Panzer mod 1.5 beta (or higher) is enabled.
Next copy the "Rends_bar_v1" folder you find next to this readme file into the "MODS" folder you find under
c:/program files/Lighthouse Interactive/Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942
Run the JSGME mod enabler and activate "Rends_bar_v1"
(If you have a beta version of the Barbarossa campaign installed earlier you need to deactivate this one first!)

Edit:You need to activate the Newbuildingsv3 mod

Next open the camp_list.ENGCFG with notepad. You find the file under

c:/program files/Lighthouse Interactive/Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942/data/k42/loc_rus/levels/LEVELS/camp/

2. Now add following lines directly under the exsisting camp entries


   camp\bar_camp.engcfg, bar,          txt_cm_camp_bar,        true, img_pz4;


Check install screenshot about how it should look like!
Close notepad and you will be asked to save the file. Click on the yes button.

Run the game and you find the Barbarossa entry in the campaign list.

That¥s all!
enjoy

Notice: If you have previosly installes my first mission i did for SF42 you need to deinstall and delete it:

Happy New Year!

Congratulation! A big THANKS for the missions!

Great work, looking forward to this!

Happy new year everybody!

And I thought I was going to have a quite NYE. Rends releases his 10 mission Barbarossa Campaign, Kyth kicks off his Pz-38t campaign with it's first mission, and andrey12345 announces the first patch for SABoW. What a way to end 2011 and start 2012  :D
Cheers guys and a Happy New Year to all.

I am Tankfull to both Kyth and Rends!NO champagne for me! I've got to stay sober while driving those tanks..... ;D

Importand:
What i miss in the readme is that you need to activate the Newbuildings3 mod too

Downloaded, installed and played first Bycien mission!It roock( at balance 10) 9 kills(4AT 45mm, 4 T-26s, 2 trucks & 68 infantry).Almost succeeded but the last T-26 killed me right after I killed it.Nice map too!Well done Rends :D

It's 1;30Am will turn in and play the other 4 tomorrow!

One word of advice.Your missions did not appear in my menu until I decided to add a //bar_camp on top of the line you recommend adding in the camp folder.Then they all appeared magically in the game menu.If others have that issue try my trick!

Best for 2012!

Just as an FYI...
The Barbarossa_v1.zip page on Gamefront does not have working links on the Download Now button when the page is accessed in FireFox. Don't know what's up with that, but it might bear looking into.

I had to go through IE (yuck!) to download it.

Thanks, though! :)

Great that you like the mission.

Well i´m not sure about your //bar_camp entry because the // tells the game engine not to read the line. It´s used for programming  comments only...but if it works for you...

found this on a different side:
C++ has two ways to insert comments into source code. If you look at example 2, you can see the C++ single line comments.
Any line that starts with a // is a comment. Unlike the C type of comments that start /* and end */, the double forward slashes end with the end of line. To comment large swathes of code out, you would still use /* comments here */ as adding // to the start of each line is tedious.

I guess that the game is written in C++

Rends the reaspon I did it was because the previosu entries in my camp folder were like that:

And since your campaign did not show up in my game menu I figured I had nothing to lose by trying it.It worked!

Cheers!

MIssions 5,6,7 completed successfully on the first try at balance 10.Harrowing!The banavycyi airfield mission was tough all my allies got entangled in the forest.I basically ramboed my way to the airfied destroying all bombers and fighters, 4 tanks, 2 guns, 2 trucks and all the infantry.Not even a scratch!In Mission 6 I had to kill 8 Kv1-e but my Panzer III did not fail me.Good maps!It';s playable at maximum balance but tough.

I've tested a mission "airfield" at the balance "5". I may say it's interesting and airfield looks exactly as airfield itself. Wonderful! Especially, I liked a new tranches for the airplanes. Think I should include them in my mission :)
Some notes:
1. I think before airfield should be placed a first line of defense to give a more challenge.
2. Unfortunately, there's no a building as "commander center", but it's more to the stationary airfield.
3. Suppose, there're some mistakes on the map. Tranches and area were already painted in blue color, though I didn't capture this region.
(http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/4/6/thumb/thumb_7414296f.jpg) (http://xmages.net/view.php/93323)
4. Personally, I'd replace PzIII/50 on PzIII/37 and T-60 on BT-5.
5. May be there should be some citations from the originally historical actions, imho.
But all my mentioned notes could be very easily fixed in the editor from the user part. So, there're no problems at all to do that.
Totally, my mark of the mission is 7/10.
Thank u very much for the good mission and polygon!

Only one mission left to play the last one.The airfield one was good but my friendlies got into a problem.While crossing the forest most of the apcs got tangled up into the branches and trees and because they are so light in the game half of them tipped over and the rest were suspended on branches.Lol!!! ;D

Pretty much finished the mission by myself; killed 5 guns, 6 tanks including 3 at 1200 metres , 2 trucks, 7 planes set afire and over 89 infantry...I even made a short vid of 3 of my kills and my rampage on the airfield....

I agree with Lockie the Panzer III with the short 37 mm gun would be historically more accurate.Also why no T-70???Didn't they constitute most of the Sov tank fleet in 1941?

Of course not. The number of T-70 in 1941 was zero.  :P

You are absolutelky right Mistwalker; the T-70 started being  produced in 1942 only! My mistake! :-[
