SPM1.5 ultimate update released! - Discussion.

[Mistwalker]

I think the stock paintjobs for the majority of the German tanks need an overhaul

That would be hard, if you want any decent result comparable with the current skins at least.  Good luck to the person who'd work on that. He'll need to re-create the texture almost completely in some cases.

In my humble and but respected opinion( ) we should replace in the Ultimate Mod the stock Panzer III campaign which is trite and essentially a carbon copy of the Panzer IVF2 campaign with Kyth's excellent 10 Panzer III missions!

Better not replace it - the stock Panzer III campaign is just a way to play completely historical stock German campaign on another tank model (historically correct too). I'd recommend to include Kyth's campaign separately.

Likewise Rends excellent Barbarossa campaign, Seelow Heights and Orel missions could easily replace some the single missions or be added as new campaigns. What do you think?

That would need the large-size files of the new polygons included. So the answer is no.

Hi,

I hope the next update will also include the fix to the problem below:

Hi,

I encountered a slight error that caused the Pz IVH to appear unintentionally under the ME entry "3x heavy tank Pz-IV Ausf. F2 (F1)"

The entry for the platoon in groups():
wer_platoon_htank1,0,0.5,wer_htank1,1,wer_htank,1,wer_htank2,1,,,,;

The red text is linked to the following entries in randoms():
wer_htank1,wer_pz4f2,,,,;
wer_htank2,wer_pz4f1,,,,;
wer_htank3,wer_pz4f1,wer_pz4f2,,,;
.
.
.
wer_htank5,wer_pz4h,,,,,;

This could be corrected by changing the entry in groups() to:

wer_platoon_htank1,0,0.5,wer_htank1,1,wer_htank3,1,wer_htank2,1,,,,;

I hope this will be corrected in the next update, thanks,

The historically accurate missions that utilise 'wer_platoon_htank1' might become inaccurate, as a result of this error,

Because Ultimate Update Patch, released on May 3rd, proved to be buggy in some cases, I've updated it.
Now it's Ultimate Update Patch, May 9th version and probably the last.

Check the first post for the download link.

i can't download the SPM1.5_ultimate_update_v1.1(ENG).rar file from gamefont, i've tried jdownloader and "Tor project" but those didn't work, please help!! 

[Kyth]

You might want to try a different browser, like 'Chrome'.

[jetlieou]

i've tried google chrome, but it's didn't work. Could someone splits the files into several parts and upload to the mediafire?

[frinik]

 jetlieou what message are you getting when you try to download on mediafire??

Have you checked Windows Defender to make sure it allows you to download from that site.What AV are you using?

I tried a tentative download and Gamefront had to close due an unspecified error.Could be that the site has temporary technical difficulties.

[jetlieou]

hi frinik, thanks for your effort, so the gamefront is unavailable right now , can't do anything but wait. I've tried turn off windows defender and firewall, but it didn't work too. You know i can easily download files from mediafire, wish if anyone could upload the SPM1.5_ultimate_update_v1.1(ENG).rar on mediafire. I heard that the file can't be upload to mediafire because the mediafire limit each file size you upload, but i think it can be solve easily by split the file into several parts and you can upload it. Could anyone help upload this file to mediafire?

Hi,

I've got a couple of minor issues with the latest Ultimate Update.

- Still encounter Panzer IVH in Panzer IV F2/F1 platoon.
- Awful yellow camouflage as the default colour for the Panzer III and Panzer IVF1/F2, instead of gray.

- Awful yellow camouflage as the default colour for the Panzer III and Panzer IVF1/F2, instead of gray.

That camouflage was included in SPM 1.5 UU following the petition of the users that were stating that in the late war scenarios where Panthers, Tigers, King Tigers and Jagdpanzers were being used with camos, the grey Panzer III and Panzer IVF1/F2 were looking out of place.

For early war scenarios where the grey color was needed Mistwalker released this mod: "Return of Panzergrau"

MistWalker,

perhaps you could include a link to the mod in the first post of this thread. It is really important for early war scenarios.

Hi,

Yes, It seems I've placed the older version of common_units file in the patch by mistake. Fixed now, as it's somewhat a minor issue, I didn't change the name of the patch.
If anyone has this problem, It can be fixed manually, as described here: http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=10117.msg22191#msg22191

Awful yellow camouflage as the default colour for the Panzer III and Panzer IVF1/F2, instead of gray.

You need to use "Return of Panzergrau" mod, as Txema said.

Okay, thanks,

A welcome relief, those camos are quite an eyesore.

That might be okay,
Have you played the missions? Any problems?

[bidounegger]

hello jetlieou,
on your list of mods, you write :
Rends bar v1
is it Rends Barbarossa v1 ?

Thanks for your answer !

[frinik]

Yes it is the final version of the Barbarossa campaign which consist of 5 or 6 missions I think.

[bidounegger]

thanks (merci) !

[Rends]

Yes it is the final version of the Barbarossa campaign which consist of 5 or 6 missions I think.

Not 5 ot 6 it's in fact a 10 mission campaign ;-)

[frinik]

Thanks for the correction Rends!

I actually played them all  but since I downloaded and installed the various beta versions( some contained 4, others 6 missions) that you released on my various installs I couldn't remember exactly..

BTW are you still working on the Orel campaign?

[jetlieou]

i played the first tutorial mission , it's ok, i don't have time to play other mission yet, this weekend i'll try one, and hey i have a wide screen bug, i installed the wide screen fix bug mod before the unofficial patch but in my game menu some of element messed, an info table cover some buttons and sliders and in the game too, some words are outside of the screen. I changed the resolution but the game didn't save my setting.
