Just a little nitpick (you are correcting periods anyway ) -
it was labeled "T-34-85", not "T-34/85".
Same for its little brother: it is "T-34 model 1943", not "T-34/76".
The difference is that first are Soviet labels, while second are German.
I will keep the T-34 names as they are in the game for consistency and easy recognition. I don't want to completely change names but rather expand the existing ones, if you know what I mean.
Like curiosity when was released Coh2(SOV/WER) did not mention much of the weapons carried by the squads, and years later this continued the same until the launch later in WFA(US/OKW) names and descriptions of the weapons were added to factions WFA.
Per instance; Penals, name the weapon carried by the squads no appears in toolips.
I don't completly understand what you mean, is it the "Can be upgraded with a flamethrower" sort of thing in the yellow text of certain units?
I wan't to add to this list Maxim and DShK (All other HMG Team named "#Name of MG# Heavy Mashine Gun Team")
And not T-34 model 1943, but T-34 model 1942. IIRC Model 1943 also has commander's cupola.
The Maxim is called 'M1910 Maxim Heavy Machine Gun' and the DShK 'DShK 38 Heavy Machine Gun'. All other HMGs are named in the same manner, what are you referring to? I probably misunderstood you.
would it be possible to add costs to commander preview? i.e. the cost of PPSh would be shown, cost of AssEngi would be shown.
It is possible. Thanks to Planet Smasher for showing how I would have done it. As of now, I won't include it as I'm not completely satisfied with the looks of it.
you should definitely do this for abilities with modifiers, like auras, active abilities, etc. (I see you did repairs already.) if you can/are allowed to change the texts for them.
I wouldnt mind, infact I would be quite happy if you copy pasted the text from the ability guide here if you needed to. I'm sure it would make your job 100x easier if you have to type this data in yourself in any way.
nicely done!
Adding modifiers to ability strings and all that stuff is one thing I'm doing as an ongoing process. My main goal was to utilize the yellow extra text for that. Issue is: Relic reused the Zeroing Artillery "Click to activate." yellow text string for multiple other abilities which doesn't allow me to put more details into it and using the white description part would make descriptions messy.
Thanks for letting me use your guide, it will come in handy.
Wouldn't it be possible to write a script that reads game files/database/whatever it has, to produce such file after every update without having to download new file?
Good question. An automatic updater would be quite handy. I'm not a programmer though, someone else would need to do that.
Since Relic probably won't release any big updates anymore, like British Forces, keeping the file manually up to date is not a big problem as I sorted all the strings I modified in a seperate text file.
OKW Panther name from 'Panther PzKpfw V 'Medium' Tank' to 'Panther PzKpfw V Medium Tank'.
Wehrmacht Panzer IV name from 'Panzer IV Medium Tank' to 'Panzer IV Ausf. H Medium Tank'.
I delayed other name changes for now as changing the names would also require a change of their descriptions and commander dispatch ability strings.
Updated the 10,5cm leFH 18 Artillery veterancy strings. Now includes +40 damage for veterancy rank 3 and OKW variant bonuses. Due to the fact that Relic reused the veterancy rank 2 and 3 strings for 4 and 5, it ended up a bit messy.
Yes, exactly! If the Panther is called "Panther PzKpfw V Medium Tank", then the P4 should probably be called "PzKpfw IV Medium Tank". Also, some tanks have the exact model in their name (OKW: "Panzer IV Ausf. J Medium Tank"), while most others don't (Ostheer: "Panzer IV Medium Tank", actually Ausf. H).
But that's only the history nerd in me talking Updating everything by hand after every patch is already enough work!
Anyway, as I said: Great mod idea, and thanks for releasing it. I'll use it for sure.
I will keep your suggestion in my mind and perhaps implement it in one of the next updates, as consistency is always a good thing.
Great idea! The often inaccurate or just plainly wrong help texts have always annoyed me. Have you considered modifying vehicle names to make them more consistent? They often seem somewhat arbitrary, especially for Axis tanks.
Yeah, I did consider doing such thing as well. Didn't want to overload the mod though right off the bat.
Just to clarify, you are refering to things like the Ostheer Panther being named "Panther PzKpfw V Medium Tank" while the OKW version is named "Panther PzKpfw V 'Medium Tank'" and multiple vehicles missing their type, like Heavy Assault Gun for the Sturmtiger?
sounds interesting, i will give it a try
and what about cultist kun writing about some virus in the file?
He is a friend of mine, it was just a troll comment of him. There is no virus or any other questionable stuff bundled in the archive - only the localization file.
This modification adds numeral veterancy descriptions to all multiplayer units, replacing the original, inaccurate descriptions. That's not all - it also improves other English localization strings such as outdated or plainly broken ones. I tried to keep the changes subtle and in Company of Heroes 2 fashion so they don't look out of place. You can use this modification in automatch without any risks or bugs associated with it.
Note:
You need to reinstall the mod after almost every Company of Heroes 2 update, since Relic often adds new strings with each update. The mod itself needs a update after every bigger Company of Heroes 2 update that adds new content. Using an outdated version after bigger updates may cause string errors.
Installation:
The file inside the archive belongs to "Steam\SteamApps\common\Company of Heroes 2\CoH2\Locale\English". Installing it over other languages works as well. For example: You play the game in German. Rename the file from "RelicCoH2.English.ucs" to "RelicCoH2.German.ucs" and copy-paste it into the "German" folder. You should backup your original localization file.
