I will give you, guys my personal oppinion about "why" I mod coh2.
Basically I am a WW2 fanboy (in the first place) and the second one is I am a fanboy of Xalibur blitzkrieg mod. About 2 years ago blitzkrieg mod team refused to move on Coh2. I tried a few mods like Spearhead but in my point of view they were not good enough for me. Then I started my own modification trying to move the Blitzkrieg mod spirit to Coh2.
My idea is to have a community of people who enjoy my work, share his opinions using our forum and in this way make a "mod" all together.

What Wikinger mod expect in a future:

I am realistic, Relic is a business. There is nobody working for free (only the "modders" like us ). But, I would like to have some support from relic. For example the possibility to add skins for infantry, a few new models or allow us the add 3D models by ouerselves.

At the end:

I love to "mod" because give you the oportunity to have a game who react in the way you want. I love the realism and I hate the "ping, pong" battles in vanilla Coh2.
Then for me the modding of Coh2 will continue for a long time.

Tutorial to open the game console:

First thing you need to set the game up so you can use console

. Step 1 go to the game
. Step 2 right click on the game select game properties
. Step 3 click on launch options
. Step 4 type this exactly as i do -dev and then hit enter



and thats it now when you start a match thats not online hit ctrl shift and ` you can also use ctrl-shift and ` or ¬ and for some ctrl-shift and ' or @



ok now you can use console here are a few commands


1.make the popcap larger] Player_SetPopCapOverride(Game_GetLocalPlayer(), 1000)

2.change resources] Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Fuel, 9999)

3.change resources] Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Manpower, 9999)

4.change resources] Player_SetResource(Game_GetLocalPlayer(),RT_Munition, 9999)

5.reveal the map] FOW_RevealAll

6.take good screen shots]taskbar_hide

7. to make taskbar appear]taskbar_show


In order for this to work you need to type it in exactly like i did use uppercase letter where there's uppercase letters.



Thank you in advance
Olhausen.

Yes is ok, I also added MP-40 to my mod too. If you want to put icons for this particular upgrade you need to mod those icons correctly.
Is better if you take a look in the Eliwood videos, are really good and will help you a lot.

Here the icon video:

Dont forget to say thank you to Eliwood.

Hi IA3:


Pay attention on what eliwood is saying here:

"Make sure that the .abp file is in the exact same folder structure as the original.
If all else fails, use the included Archive Viewer in the Mod Builder to make sure your .sga file has the .abp files in it."

You need to maintain the same structure if you want a working model.
For example in my mod the structure is:

WIKINGER Mod\data\art\armies\west_german\soldiers\volksgrenadier

In your mod you should have something similar. Check it again.
Do as Eliwood said about .abp file values. These values working fine to me and should work fine to you too.

Wait What ?
