Glaude, I can't find any documentation. I created a copy installation renamed it Spain and unzipped the file in the main directory. I see no maps or Scenarios but I do see the English doctrine. What did I do wrong?

Would it work with the JSGM generic mod enabler ? (http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products-jsgme.html)

If yes (and it seems that it would) it would obviate the need to have 2 separate instalations of histwar...

I don't use JSGM generic mod enabler, I cannot inform you. 
I only gave recommendations in order to preserve your initial installation. 
You must install scenari, they are situated in the directory  scenari to install. 
the file doctrine should be located in the directory doctrine and you must modify in Histwar with the help of the editor of doctrines.

Thanks a lot for your congratulations for one and all.

I know Reverse Slope Tactics was a famous and prefered Wellington's tactic in most of the peninsular battles, I don't think it's something available for the moment in HistWar Game and may be it's something JMM would develop one day.

Hi Ajlewisbrookes,
for the moment no  at this point yet (we're studying ;)), but we've changed the doctrine to have a "linear style" combat and more defensive for the British, the favourite Wellington's tactic.

And u know that the British had a organisation of their Army very different from the French and in general Continental one: we've arranged to respect this with the OOB editor, otherwise they had been not so strong in combat.
In firsts attempts, serving the traditional organisation, the British were always fleeing, even if they were of excellent/superior quality; modifying a bit the distribution of troops in the Corps and Divisions, we succeded (we think :oops:) to make them competitives.
If it seems a "Reverse Slope Tactic" we are happy: it's a very good but unexpected result!!! ;)

Bye

May I congratulate everyone concerned with the Peninsual Mod. At last we can see the British forces against the French!

One little point - please always refer to the British not to the English. A very significant part of Wellington's army came from Scotland, Ireland and Wales and and it is not fair to include them as "English"


 Peux je féliciter chacun concerné avec la réalisation de la Péninsule Mod. Finalement nous pouvons voir des forces britanniques contre le Français! 
 
 Un petit point - fait s'il vous plaît toujours allusion aux Britanniques pas à l'Anglais. Une partie très significative de l'armée de Wellington est venue de l'Ecosse, l'Irlande et le Pays de Galles et il n'est pas équitable de les inclure comme "l'anglais".

Bonjour à tous,

merci au Peninsular War Group Mod pour leur travail remarquable.
j'ai cependant un petit souci pour l'installation de votre mod.
J'ai bien dezzipé le fichier, mais je n'ai pas les troupes anglaises affichées ni en 2D , ni en 3D. les icones des drapeaux et les troupes restent avec leur uniformes russes. j'ai cependant le liste des régiments en anglais.

Bonjour de Savigny,

Lis le fichier "Mise en garde" de notre mod qui te conseille de dézipper tous les dossiers dans une copie d'HistWar, comme te l'indique mon ami bibouba.
N'oublie pas de télécharger et d'installer le fichier "15Portugal" que tu trouveras sur le dépôt (voir la page précédente de ce fil de discussion).

Bon jeu.

With the origianl Portugues Docturine as #14, do you  still have to replace the #15 Saxon with another Portuguese as #15 ???
Titre: Re : Peninsular War Group Mod

yes because we use the saxon as portuguese in this mod.

This may sound like a dumb question, but if the Portugues Docturine already exists, why create another one and lose the Saxon slot ???
Titre: Re : Peninsular War Group Mod
Posté par: bibouba le 03 août 2010, 17:52:19 pm
because we use the saxon graphics to do the portuguese. nowadays nothing is attached with the portuguese.

Posté par: Panama Red le 03 août 2010, 18:14:17 pm

I assume that means that this mod is temporary because in the future when graphics are finally attached to the Portugues, the game will have the "official" Peninsular War included ???

Un grand merci pour vos compliments qui nous encouragent à poursuivre notre travail pour enrichir le mod !
La Corogne est un bon scénario pour commencer.

Une petite remarque :
Bien sûr, chacun peut jouer selon le mode qu'il préfère mais je précise que, pour l'instant, seul le mode "Commander les 2 camps" permet de débuter avec les positions initiales historiques.
Je vous recommande de lire les fichiers de présentation des batailles.

Bon jeu !

Thanks a lot for your congratulations which encourage us to carry on with our work to improve the mod.
La Corogne is a good scenario to start.

A little comment :
Of course, every one can play with the mode he prefers but I specify that, for the moment,  only the mode " Command both side" allows to start the battle with historical initial positions.
I recommend you to read the files of the battles' presentation.

Have a funny game !

Bonjour Theo,

What do you recommend for the invisible cursor problem? .... and the Doctrine Editor Problem (i.e. no British,  Portugese, Netherland, etc. doctrines)? .... of course, all problems reported to Redmine with spyboard, .sav file and sceenshots ....

Without visible cursor, mod is unplayable ....  :(

What do you mean by "invisible cursor" : which one ?

For the Doctrine, you should add the Portuguese and the British one in the Doctrine folder of your HistWar Mod copy .
Both are in the Doctrine folder of our "PeninsularWarGroupMod".zip.

Bonjour bibouba,

Yes, with Save games AND with New Games too. ....

However, I think I snap this bug ...

I EXTRACT all mod files from zip INTO copy of Histwar folder (which is inside copy of Histwar Games folder)... before, I had just copy and pasted mod files ....

There is something about 'Sons' file (and maybe 'Ambiance' file) that causes a problem with vanishing cursor .... how, I don't know?????

After I swap these files with corresponding HWLG files, cursor no longer vanishes and I do not hear pulsating hum noise when camera gets near cavalry or artillery units ....

As for Doctrines ... I still must experiment....

Maybe a dumb question... :roll:

When looking at the british doctrine file (.txt) provided with the mod, it looks like the "England" original file (the series of number in the text are the same...).
It's written in previous posts that the british doctrine was modified. Where are these modifications encoded and visible?

Sorry,  :oops:

Hello bibouba, thanks for the visit to NBC, you asked there if we had tried this mod out in MP, as far as I know NBC have not tried that yet.  I know AJ has it installed.

I don't have any mods installed, yet.  I have been so busy with other things I have avoided mods for now, I'm sure I will get around to it sometime in the future but my priorty right now is helping to get as many NBC members using the standard game in MP battles.

Bibouba and I fought the first Peninsula War mod MP today. Although a little one sided, 65 CEH against 37 CEH (it could have been better "Rear Guard Mode" instead of "Battle Mode"), what a superb creation his team had made. I would thoroughly recommend this Mod to all interested in the Brit participation, even the doctrine had been changed to take into account the different armies. To be a thoroughly accurate expansion, it is going to need some Ai work as well.

I believe from Bibouba that a 100 days Belgium campaign with Quatre Bras, Ligny and Waterloo on the way.

So as not to confuse the main Histwar game, simply make a copy of the main directory and install the mod into the copy, I named mine Histwargames\Histwar\Spain.

Every picture tells a story and I have included good screens to illustrate the battle.

Once again, any HLG General is missing out when not including this superb piece of work.

I must be doing something wrong, but I can't get the Peninsular War mod to install properly.
I DLed the mod, then copied my existing Histwargames/Histwar folder, renamed the copy to Spain, then extracted all the folders from the mod into the Spain folder. Each time the computer asked me if I wanted to overwrite or merge files, I said yes. Then I boot up Spain. I saw that if I selected the Doctrine section, I was able to select "anglais" as the doctrine for the Russians. But in the maps and scenarios menus, I didn't see any of the Spanish battles.

Bonjour Mel,

Il faut ouvrir le fichier Doctrine.exe contenu dans Histwar.
Pour modifier la doctrine russe en doctrine anglaise, il faut appuyer sur le nom Russie et à droite appliquer la doctrine 01Anglais.


Hello Mel,

 You must open the file Doctrine.exe contained in Histwar.
 To change the doctrine Russian to English doctrine, you should press the Russian name and right to apply the doctrine 01Anglais.

I do not understand what you mean by " Press the Russian name and right apply to the doctrine 01 Anglais"
I also need to know where I extract the scenario files to?
Thanks Mel

Dossier HistWar (in C:\HisWarGames\HistWar\ ...)
                                 ----->Map, Scenari, Army

Bonjour Mel,

Pour voir les extensions des fichiers tu dois configurer ton système d'exploitation.
J'utilise XP aussi je ne peux que te décrire cette procédure mais je pense qu'elle peut s'appliquer aux autres systèmes. Sinon, précises ton système et tu trouveras probablement quelqu'un sur le site qui pourra t'aider.
Voici une des manières de procéder :

Démarrer
Poste de travail
Sélectionner le disque dur C:\
Outils
Options des dossiers
Affichage
Décocher "Masquer les extensions des fichiers dont le type est connu"
Maintenant tu devrais voir Doctrine.exe dans HistWarGames\Histwar\
Pour intégrer les scénarios, il faut après dézippage des fichiers dans un répertoire temporaire (c'est plus prudent)
Copier les fichiers :
*.oob dans le répertoire Army.
Répertoire x* contenant les fichiers pour la confection de la carte dans le répertoire Map.
*Ce répertoire contient BaseV4.dat, GroundV4.txt, High4.hgh, NameV4.hgh et ObjetV4.dat.
Le fichier nom de la bataille.txt dans le répertoire scenari.
J'espère que cela t'aidera

Hello Mel,

To see the file extensions you must configure your operating system.
I use XP so I can only describe to you the procedure but I think it can apply to other systems. Otherwise, clear your system and you probably find someone on site who can help.
Here's one way to proceed:

Start
Workstation
Select the hard disk C: \
Tools
Folder Options
Display
Uncheck "Hide extensions for files whose type is known"
Now you would see in Doctrine.exe HistWarGames \ Histwar \
To integrate the scenarios, we must after unzipping the files into a temporary directory (it's safer)
Copy the files:
 *. oob  in the directory Army
 x * Directory containing the files for making the map in the Map directory.
* This directory contains BaseV4.dat, GroundV4.txt, High4.hgh, and NameV4.hgh ObjetV4.dat.
 The battle's file name.txt  in the directory scenari.
I hope this help

I have just installed the peninsular war mod and like it a lot. I have some installation questions:

I found that if I installed it on the ‘vanilla’ Histwar patched to ver 2e  and then installed patches 2F and 2g(R1) on top then the coalition forces flags in the 2D (F2) were all Russian but they did display the nice coloured dot unit status indicators and were associated with the correct british units. However if I installed the mod on the ‘vanilla’ histwar patched to 2F and after modding patched to 2g that the coalition flags were correct (british etc) but the coloured dot indicators no longer appear. Is there a way to get the correct flags and the coloured dot system?

In the document files for Baylen scenario there are only  .otd files , the word files are missing. Is there some way to read the otd files? What is their purpose?

Playing the scenario for Baylen, in solo mode, I notice that the initial troop deployments are very different depending on whether you choose to play as the grande armee, as the coalition or as both sides. (The latter looks more like the historical disposition). If one starts off choosing play both sides but only controls say the French , does the AI implement as strong a defence for the coalition as it would if you choose to play the French in the options panel, or is it more passive just controlling individual local unit conflicts?

Thanks for all your good work on this! Cheers nix

Bonjour Mel,

Il faut ouvrir le fichier Doctrine.exe contenu dans Histwar.
Pour modifier la doctrine russe en doctrine anglaise, il faut appuyer sur le nom Russie et à droite appliquer la doctrine 01Anglais.

bonjour,

j'ai ouvert l fichier doctrine.exe (cf 1e photo du fichier joint)
en cliquant dans la colonne de droite sur Russia, j'obtient la 2e photo et selectionne Anglais (je n'ai pas de fichier 01Anglais)
je quitte l'éditeu et relance le jeu

en vue 2D, j'ai toujours des drapeaux russe (photo 3)
,en vue 3D, j'ai des uniformes anglais avec des drapeaux russes.

ou est l'erreur dans mes manipulations ,

Merci

Bonjour Baurya,
Merci pour tes captures d'écran, elles aident à mieux comprendre les problèmes que tu rencontres.
A l'évidence tu ne possèdes pas les bons fichiers.
Pour simplifier la procédure d'installation du mod Péninsule,  je vais tout prochainement confectionner un package qui sera à dézipper directement dans le répertoire Histwar.
Les derniers correctifs nécessités par l'amélioration du programme Histwar seront intégrés.
Ce mod Péninsule sera incorporé au sous répertoire Mods et permettra ainsi une installation aisée grâce à l'outil JSGME.
Dans l'état actuel, le mod Péninsule n'est pas compatible avec les scénarios originaux (Il le sera lors d'une prochaine étape mais il faut être patient car cela représente beaucoup d'heures de travail.)
Le mod Péninsule doit être activé sur une installation originale sans aucun autre mod sauf la série  MadRussianTerrain.
Il est préférable de ne pas activer le mod MadRussian3DUnits2 car les graphismes du mod Péninsule ont été réalisés à l'unisson des graphismes originaux. Si vous activez le mod MadRussian3DUnits2 vous obtiendrez un mélange de style.
En outre le mod Péninsule doit être activé en dernier.
Avec JSGME, vous pouvez  installer tous les mods dans le même jeu. Il faut juste faire attention à l'ordre d'activation des mods, le dernier modifiant l'avant dernier.
J'espère avoir répondu à tes questions,
Glaude1955

Thank you for your screenshots, they help to better understand the problems you meet.
Obviously you do not have the correct files.
To simplify the installation of the mod Peninsula, I will soon make a package that will unzip directly in the directory Histwar.
The latest patches required by program improvement Histwar will be integrated.
This Peninsula mod will be incorporated into the subdirectory Mods and thus allow easy installation with the tool JSGME.
In the present state, the Peninsula mod is not compatible with the original scenari (He will be at a later stage but we must be patient because it represents many hours of work.)
The Peninsula mod must be enabled on an original installation without any other mod except Series MadRussianTerrain.
It is best not to activate the mod MadRussian3DUnits2 because the graphics of the  mod Peninsula has been made in unison with the original graphics. If you activate the mod MadRussian3DUnits2 you get a mix of styles.
Furthermore the mod Peninsula must be enabled last.
With JSGME, you can install all the mods in the same game just need to pay attention to the activation order of mods, the latest changes to the front last.

I just copied and pasted your file otan.dds (see thread: re peninsular war mod in generales discussion in Fr thread for download on pg3) into \graphics\textures of my mod installation ( vanilla patched to 2F then mod then patch2g) and now it all works well:

the british flags are correct in the F2 2Dview and the coloured dot indicators for unit status are back and working well.

Many thanks for your help with this ...

I need help too!

After installing patch 03a, i can't get the complete new GUI using the peninsular war mod (new features in the unit panel are missing).
I have installed the patch after "closing" the PWM in JSGME. After that, if i use JSGME to "open" and play the PWM, i only get an incomplete version of the new GUI like in patch 2g.
No problem with the other scenarios.
No probem when the PNM is "closed" in JSGME (disabled)
Should i install the patch 03a with the PWM "open" in JSGME?

The new GUI does not work with PWM. The old one does, though.

JMM did not done the integration for Waterloo. He helped us to understand how to do it but he didn't had the time to do it himself. Normaly the Peninsular war team have all the information to make the integration of the mod.

For the last news that I had they were working on it.

I proposed to help them but no news for several months ...

Bonjour Mssrs.

Baylen Scenario from Depot Peninsular War 1.1 Full Mod install  .... Solo Mode .... Depot Full Patch  o3b LGDN .... 1/2 3D Scale (very nice) .... Full Screen (1o24 x 768) mode .... ALL French & Spainish units frozen on 2D & 3D map (probably F4 view too, but no check) ....

Old GUI  (and F7 Manual) shows Corps/Unit Orders being executed/received .... map units will not respond to ANY Orders .... Dupont already declared Tactical Winner - Overwhelming Victory .... no Strategic winner .... season and weather changed to 'Historical' .... all French units preset to Neutral Initiative and Offensive Posture  in F7 manual ....

No such problems with Salamanca/Talavera scenarios from Depot Peninsular 1.1  install (and scenarios in Depot Waterloo install too)  .... poor child needs some help .... very frustating ....  :(

Have not tried Baylen OOB setup yet ....  :?

Don't try baylen with the full mod integrated. There is somthing wrong somewhere and I couldn't fixe it.

Yes I know there is a bug but it's normaly the only one.

I think that because spain is the commander in chief in this battle.

Bonjour Msr. bibouba,

A bad scenario bug indeed ....  :evil:

I have tried other Spain generals (i.e. Cuesta) as C-in-C  from Spain OOB list (I use OOB Editor, very fast) .... just  for solo Baylen fight (no Scenario) .... no luck also  :( ....  same results as before .... all France units chained to East road  near bridge .... Spain units in good deployment  to West (but not in France deployment zone) .... all units frozen on map  when game started .... careful MAP analysis in F8 mode .... very clear status of everything ....  ;)

But, I have another idea  :idea: .... maybe the MAP is not good .... the set-up (deployment) zones may not have good definitions (except for IA v IA mode) .... so, I investigate and notice there are special files created for MAP .... but, I cannot see into these files (or understand the data)  :( .... so, maybe this is a MAP problem and MAP needs to be changed a little (with better definition for deployment zones)? ....  :?

Bonjour Msr. bibouba,

I suspect you are most correct!!  :o .... My poor Map Editor was completely broken after I did OOB Editor changes to Spain C-in-C  :oops: .... so, I reinstall 03b, PWGM, now all is fine again (status quo)  :) .... With re-installed Map Editor, I examine Baylen 3D MAP, both big flags are Spain (or Britain) color  :shock:  :? .... I examine 2D MAP, deployment zones are good, Spain on East, France on West .... suspicion: must be LGDN bug  :x .... coding refuses to allow function of new Spain entity ( a very complicated data creation to satisfy LGDN code)   :roll: .... how to fix, I don't know since MAP appears good  :( ....  how did Waterloo team do it, I wonder (i.e. no apparent Britain problems in Spain scenarios or Britain problems in Waterloo/Wavre/Quatre Bras scenarios)?   :? ....

Also, minor Spain problem in Doctrine Editor (very tricky to select 'Spain' with cursor on Index Page, no sensitivity except on far left of word Spain) .... another minor bug appears ....  :x

Hello,

I've seen your report.
Bailen was know to be heavily bugged since the release of the new intergrated PWM.
But maybe other scenarios like Vimeiro have minor problems. Not sure all the scenarios were tested since the integrated mod...
