Comrades,

The Iron Cross mod now replaces the Knights Cross mod as both games use most of the same files.

Download the mod here

Latest changes:

V.4.7

- Corrrected size of unit counter flag sprite.

So funny, as I went through all the great mods and finally started a campaign, and then this comes along.

IronX, are you the same person who created the Red Star Over Europe 1.2 mod for HPS Squad Battles Vietnam? IMO, that has to be the biggest and best mod ever made for a Tiller game.

Best graphic Mod. Thanks!
But I started a campaign with the 653Hi Mod and there are some issues with a few counters.
Especially for the Germans in 1939 whose silhouettes of tanks are Tigers! And there is no silhouette for PB class ships.

Finally some quality time - great mod!
Seems fine on vanilla, but indeed there seem to be some missing counters when playing mods.

For example 1938 Calm for the Storm, there are no Dreadnaughts (DN) for the Kriegsmarine.
Also SS Cavalry still uses motorized sound.

That said - again - these are details, this is a real ueber mod.
Going to start a new vanilla campaign this weekend using your mod!!

Hi and thanks for trying out the mod.

The counter issues likely lay with the other mod you have installed. I just loaded my 1939 campaign up and I have Pz II/IIIs with Tigers not being available until the end of 1941. Further, all the ships in my game have silhouettes - although I'm not quite sure what you mean by PB class.

I would suggest uninstalling the other mod and see if the issues persist.

Edit: @Simulacra53 - Same applies. I can't guarantee compatibility with other mods. The cavalry sound is replaced because few armies actually used horse cavalry in WWII. Most were replaced with mechanized units before or during the war (as is reflected in the counters). The original files are included in the mod and are easy to change.

Thanks, I can understand mods not being compatible.
SC has an interesting file structure and in addition having embedded game mods muddles the picture.
As for the sounds, looks like I mixed up your comments on the new files - that�s one for not reading the manual (your clear read me files).
Thanks for your patience.

PB Class means Pocket Battleship (ships Deutschland and Admiral Scheer).
Uninstall and reinstall the Mod 653Hi.
No change: the silhouettes of Tigers are still there in 1939 and no silhouette for PB.
You could not do an adaptation to the Mod 653Hi?!

Unfortunately Panzerfaust has broken your mod.
Looks like there was a country switch.

Major_07 seems to have been swapped with Major_08 - based on a quick glance, did not do any further checking.
Don't know why they change such fundamental items.

Your mod is too good to be broken!

Hmm, looks like they are consolidating their two games, there are now two additional Major directories - Major_09 and Major_10
I tried your World at War bitmap files and at least Germany was working again.

That seems to be it on first glance, more or less.

Hi Simulacra53, yes this was changed as we adopted the major changes from World at War back to War in Europe and this just kept the two engines and structures more consistent. Apologies for the inconvenience but yes, for now if you change Major_07 to Major_08 in the mod, as well as Major_08 to Major_09 that should do the trick for now.

Hubert

Congrats on an amazing mod

Fresh installation, only Iron Cross mod enabled, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau no icon, is it WAD?

lecrop - I'm getting the same, I assume it is because of the Panzerfaust update as mentioned above.

I did try copying bitmaps from the WaW Iron Cross mod to WiE but that didn't work (probably because I didn't really know what I was doing).

I'm hoping IronX will update the mod as soon as possible.

P.S. IronX thanks for the brilliant pair of mods, my favourite of all the graphic mods for the games.

Hi all

I'm in the process of updating the mod for WAW to include images for every unit, which is almost done, and will convert these to WIE. The update should be released very soon.

Hi,
Since the last update, the Knights Cross Mod doesn't work anymore.
It has been installed in Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - War in Europe\Mods\<modfoldername>\Campaigns.
Actived in "Settings" but when I start the 1939 Storm over Europe campaign, it's vanilla not the mod.

The mod has been updated to v.1.1 and is now compatible with the game's Panzerfaust update. See first post for details and download link.

Remember to install the mod in the new Mods folder and activate it within the game's Settings menu.

Please let me know of any issues and I will address them asap.

Thank you for all your efforts to do such timely updates! Do you have just the update files for 1.1?

Unfortunately, no. The latest game update required some significant changes so it was easier to just update the whole mod.

When WAW is next updated to include the mod manager, I will probably merge the two mods so there will only be one mod to download for both games and one update for both games.

Speaking of updates, I am making changes to the German fighters to reflect better the model and year it was available.

Installed both 01 Knights Cross and 02 Historic Flags into the Mods folder, activated both in the Settings menu but neither are taking effect when I start a campaign. Tried restarting the game from desktop after installing mods and activating in Settings but still nothing.

P.S. all of the above was on a fresh download of the Matrix (not Steam) version of the game updated to 1.16

P.P.S. when using the mod previously I just overwrote the main game files with the mod rather than putting in a My Games folder (thus effectively the base game was the Knights Cross mod)

Weird. It works fine for me. I was using the Steam version, however. Overriding the existing files will work too.

Figured out where I was going wrong. When I extracted the zip file that was downloaded in to the mods folder it created a folder containing a folder containing the mod files.

Now I've got it working fine.

Thanks again.
