[SFK42] Aces SdkFz 251+German Equipment Mods Update plus SPM1.5 June Compat fix

[Txema]

To have those missions in your game you need to install them.

The Mission Pack (Mission Pack 1.0с) can be downloaded here:

http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=9591.0

And you have to install it (as any other mission) following this order:

1.Unofficial patch_SF_v0.1_(ENG)
2. SPM 1.5 beta
3. Mission Pack 1.0с *********************
4. SPM 1.5 ultimate update
5. SPM 1.5 ultimate update patch

In principle it should work if you install it following that order.

Ah! Tx Txema! I got my stuff back. Any of you knows if the Hetzer mission could work with UU? I could never make it work before anyhow.

Tx Al.

Hi chaps,

I'm so sorry that you have had problems. I'm really stumped I have treid quite a few combinatiojns of mods and, apart from a couple of missions that won't run with or without my mods/patch everything works. I'm posting my latest mod install order in case it helps. I did look at the 9th June update patch and install it but there was only one config file that was later than those that I included in the patch and it didn't contain anything relevant to the problem but I did update my patch accordingly.

I'll keep testing, in the meantime here's something that I've been working on. I've used the exisitng Kubelwagon model (credit to its creator) an added radio equipment annd accessories, to make....



I feel a bit guilty about posting this given the problems that you've had with my other mods though. I don't think that I can finish this without 3DSMAX. I won't be around much tomorrow, my OH and I are gouing out as it is my birthday tomorrow.

PS does anyone know if there's a plain green skin available that I could use ?, as it's very labour intensive to remove the camo from the one shown above.

[Txema]

Aces,

I will try to test it further. Thank you very much !!

Just one question: I don't have the mod:

"Aces German Personnel Equipment Mod v3 WIP"

I just install the released one instead of it:

"Aces German Personnel Equipment Mod v2 (inc. signals crew)"

I guess it is OK to do it...

Hi mate,

Yes, thanks, the V3 is my current WIP version for testing new features. The v2 is the current release version. This is difficult to identify as I cannot replicate the problem/s. I have stripped things down to the bare minimum as well as shuffling the mod order but it runs just about every mission except a couople and even these won't run with or without the mod so they're not very helpful diagnostically. I have a second game install and I tried with that one and the same thing and also with a third, new , fresh install.

Cheers

Aces

Aces,

I think I have found something:

My problem seems to be in the "Aces German Personnel Equipment Mod v2 (inc. signals crew)".

If I activate just these mods I get problems in a lot of missions:

***********************************
Unofficial_patch_SF_v0.1_eng
Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5_beta
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_ENG
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_patch_MARCH
Aces German Personnel Equipment Mod v2 (inc. signals crew)
**********************************


But if I activate these mods I can play all the missions without problems:

************************************
Unofficial_patch_SF_v0.1_eng
Steel_Panzer_Mod_v1.5_beta
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_ENG
SPM1.5_ultimate_update_patch_MARCH
Aces German Personnel Equipment Mod v1
************************************

It seems that the problems arise with the update to "Aces German Personnel Equipment Mod v2 (inc. signals crew)". Even without using the JUNE update of SPM 1.5 UU patch !!

Could you please check it??

Hi mate,

That's interesting, well done, I'll be out today but will check later.

Thanks

Has anybody else tested the mod:

"Aces German Personnel Equipment Mod v2 (inc. signals crew)"

Is it working for you?

Come on, guys, these mods by Aces are superb. They add a lot of atmosphere to the sim.

Let's help to make them work properly in Steel Fury !!

First Happy Belated B-Day wishes Aces 

Heres what I had in my JSGME, it's pretty bare bones:
-SPM 1.5 Beta
-Bunch of User Made Missions/Campaigns
-SPM 1.5 UU
-SPM 1.5 UU Patch (latest)
-Aces SdkFz251 3D Model crew+Texture Mod 3
-Aces Personnel Equipment Mod v2 (includes signals crew)
-Aces SdFz251+Equipment Mod Update Plus SPM 1.5 June 12 Compat Fix
-Unofficial Patch SF v0.1 Eng

Heres whats in my Mission/Campaign GUI (excluding User Made missions which I didn't try) and the results. All .001 crashes happened between 4% to 36ish% loading before .001 crash.
-Soviet Army Group South  .001 crash
-Soviet Army Group North .001 crash
-T-34/85 Weapon of Victory .001 crash
-Group South (KV-1) .001 crash
-Group North (MKIII) .001 crash
-T-60 .001 crash
-IS-2 .001 crash
-KV-2 .001 crash
-SPG of the Red Army .001 crash
-Captured Equipment .001 crash, only tried first mission (PzII)
-German Army Fridericus 1:
Peschanoye .001 crash
Nepokrytoe Loads and Plays
-Fridericus 1 (PzIII):
Peschanoye .001 crash
Nepokrytoe Loads and Plays
Fedorovka .001 crash
-Fridericus 1 (StuG III) .001 crash
-PzVI Ausf.H "Tiger":
Nepokrytoe .001 crash
Fedorovka .001 crash
Peremoga .001 crash
Petrovka .001 crash
-StuGIII Ausf.G:
Peschanoe .001 crash
Nepokrytoe .001 crash
Andreevka .001 crash
-Combat Missions:
July 29th Loads and Plays
Aug 28th .001 Crash
Oct 10th .001 Crash
And I stopped there.
I deactivated Aces SdkFz251 Mod v3 and Personal Equipment Mod v2 and the June 12th compat fix and reactivated Aces German Personal Equipment Mod v1 and the missions played fine and I had no .001 crashes.
I really wish I had better news to report since Aces work looks outstanding.
Cheers

Thanks everyone. I've been rather busy as there's been multiple Birthdays lately including my OH's which is today. I've also nearly finished the Kubelwagon radio car so will have more time real soon to see if I can spot the problem. I did look and the only difference in files between v1 and v2 of my equipment mod are related to the addition of the radio gear but I'll look again. As every mission  loads with or without the mod/fix I'm rather stumped butn we'll sort it out soon I'm sure.

Cheers
