Hi Vadder,

Thank you very much for your help Panzerfaust 

At the risk of repeating myself...

It was essential that you repeat  everything works correctly ...... double folder, was the big problem

Me too!  the double folder bit me!   

all is good now.  love playing this game!

Do we need to instal both mission packs or does the 2nd include the 1st?

For those who installed Russian language versions of mods or missions and as a result all your menus and sub texts are in Russian. There's a very simple  solution to revert it back into English. Go to :
F:\Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942 new inst Dec update\data\k42\loc_rus\text .Open the loc_kit, loc_kit-subs and loc_kit_tools folders with notepad. On the upper left side of each file if you see the following entry:
loc_rus()  just change it to loc_eng() and save before exiting. Do it for each of  the files. All your texts and menus should be back to English once you start your game.

Let me ask one question:

Have you thought about including this fix reported by Kyth?

http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=11132.0

Looking at the first post with the download links and order of installation... it appears that this is to be installed upon the SPM 2.0...not an update for the 1.5 shown below it as the previous update!!??
is this correct?

[lockie]

it appears that this is to be installed upon the SPM 2.0...not an update for the 1.5 shown below it as the previous update!!?? is this correct?

SPM (NTA) 1.6 it's update which was made for `mission pack` compatibility and for the new stuff. As my point, there is no need to make another big mod, coz spm 2.0 already exist.

[fabianfred]

so these can be added to either SPM 2.0 or 1.5?

[Kyth]

so these can be added to either SPM 2.0 or 1.5?

NTA 1.6 is to be activated after SPM 2.0.

[lockie]

so these can be added to either SPM 2.0 or 1.5?

I recommend to activate NTA 1.6 after SPM 2.0
In case of spm 1.5 u need more mods, i.e:
- spm 1.5
- spm 1.5 uu
- upd nov 2012
- nta 1.6

Great work Lockie! You are truly one of the mighty pillars of Steel Fury!

One little bug and I wonder if others have had the same problem, 2 of the Final campaigns missions give me a 001 crash after a few minutes. They seem to be related to the King Tiger appearance in the missions; it's the August 19944 and the October 1944 missions. Has anybody tried them? There are now 2 models of the KT in the tech_cfg folder for the KT.I wonder if something is missing or conflicting? I only have the SP Mod 2.0 and NTA 1.6 installed nd enabled in the JSGME.

I like to protect the bricks that Lockie likes to shoot

I didn't install `Final campaigns missions`, but I may try and see what caused the error. What the name of the missions exactly?

PS
Nobody can protect a bricks under my shoot!

[frinik]

The ones with the TigerII as the player's tank on the Gusarovka map( October 1944) and the one with the late JS-2 as player's tank on the Lozovenko map(August 1944).

I found a bug with the panzer IV H which I solved and PM'd you about it.

The ones with the TigerII as the player's tank on the Gusarovka map( October 1944) and the one with the late JS-2 as player's tank on the Lozovenko map(August 1944).

So, one mission name is "October 1944" and other is "August 1944"?

I found a bug with the panzer IV H which I solved and PM'd you about it.

OK, starting to learning
...
Solution found
Replace shells on these:

Code:

	shells()
	{
		//имя снаряда, количество
		PZGR39_75, 36, 0, 0;
		PZGR40_75, 4, 0, 0;
		SPRGR38_75, 47, 0, 1;
		

		BUL_792, 3150;
	}

I'll include it into fix.

After so many different mods we still have incorrect data concerning the shell complement of heavy German tanks. The Panther Ausf D and A had 79 shells more or less divided half and half between AP and HE the G model carried 82 shells. The Tiger I carried from 92 to 120( normal complement was 92 but in late war German tank commanders would exceed and carry up to 120 shells despite regulations as logistic and supply broke down).Tiger II with so-called Porsche turret carried 72 shells( less for befehlpanzers) while model in game carried 86.Can we please correct this once and for all? Also Jagdpanther in game is carrying too many shells, no more than 57 according to all the readings I made while in game it's 79 I think. It also carried 1200 bullets for the mg not 600.The tigers carried 5200 bullets not 5100 .
