Hi all...
I reorganized the RT Mission Kursk folder in my skydrive ...even I was confused and I built it..
You access the RTMK missions through BK_All/RT only/Major Mods/Mission Kursk. Only two folders now "Chapters and Campaigns" and "Missions"
The BKMK is accessed through BK_All/BK only/Major Mods/Mission Kursk. Only one folder "Missions".
I tested all the RTMK missions and realized that they all play with the 3.2 update thereby making the IFFP redundant..but you all knew that already...noob again. Hopefully the BKRT missions are the same. I know it is probably more difficult to find a particular mission this way with no name searching but I figured that most of this community knows which Mod their scenario belongs to.
Hope this is better for you and you have found something useful. Questions , errors, encouraged.
Cheers

'Allo, 'Allo..all In my naivety, for want of a better word, I assumed that when a scenario and/or chapter pak file said "HF"(RT or BK ) that was indeed the case...Hmmmm..not so. Tired of being kicked to desktop every 5-10mins, I've spent a little time making sure they work as they are supposed to. Starting with Heimatfront my plan is to go through the various mods making sure the scenarios supplied do indeed work as they should... 1drv.ms/1v3CK49 BKHF.... 1drv.ms/1v3DV3G RTHF.... If it states BKHF then the map has been tested in BK only....it may well run in RT I don't know. The same applies for RTHF If you have any trouble running these maps contact me here or PM and I will let you know the set up of my data file. I have one file I can't find a home for...[HF]Winter Retreat.pak...perhaps someone can assist. Terrific maps all of them and my grats to everyone concerned in the construction of them..you all know who you are.. Thanks again |

Added [RTHFCh]SSCombats_EN.pak.......compilation of SS battles originally in Spanish....some of the scenarios were already available as single missions but a couple were not. No files other than translated text files are changed.. and many thanks to the original people involved in the making and linking of these files. 1drv.ms/ZBj4sl |

Longfellow,
I think it maybe one of mine. Here is the description from the .pak file in my archive:
Map Name: Winter retreat
Author: Altheogre
contact: altheogre@mail.com
Game: Blitzkrieg Rolling Thunder
Mod Required: Heimatfront
Map Size: 18x18
Map type: Single player
Context: Non historical. Winter 1942/43
Parties: (Player) Germany vs (AI) Soviet Union
Date: 22/2/2009
Language: English
Description:
Winter retreat 1942 - by Altheogre - with thanks to Leon and Steelwedge for advice with the script.
You command the spearhead group of our latest offensive. The Soviets are retreating to their winter positions to the north and across the river - now is our chance to take the vital river crossings and the hill fort whilst they are still preparing their defenses.
The luftwaffe have cleared the way, but are now fighting on another part of the front. Air support will not be available for the first part of the mission.

Thanks for the quick response.
That's it to a tee.....no disrespect intended because of all the great work you have done will you help me find a home for this puppy?? Kicks me out to DT in both BK and RT with and without HF..I re-installed both BK and RT and HF and heck I even asked the pup for help....nada..something I'm missing.. All I could find inside (I never venture past the scenarios folder) was that .bzm and .lua file have different names...don't know if that matters. I put a silver star beside it about 4-5 years ago so it must be good.
Thanks again
Cheers

Thanks again Cheers I seem to recall that there was a bug with the original file, which I thought I'd fixed - maybe that's why the .bzm and .lua had differing names, but that shouldn't matter. Anyway I have uploaded a copy from my archive - where the file names are the same? to Mediafre. Here is the link. www.mediafire.com/download/wyxw0tn6g4r757v/winter_retreat.pak. I have downloaded a copy and run it OK on RT with Heimatfront, so you should be able to run the new .pak too. Please let me know if you still have problems. |

Hi Longfellow, this thread is great. Well, I'm not sure if this is your objective, but once it seems you have time and disposition to organize maps and mods, let me give a suggestion: there are a lot of maps around the internet, almost unknown, made by the Chinese and Russian community waiting for a translation (with the translator) and an English release. If you are interested I can send you the maps or the links.

If you are interested I can send you the maps or the links. Hi BB, I totally agree with you...it's like a goldmine for the BK player both old and new. Some of the ""older"" maps are classic say this Bukrin one for example and don't look outdated whatsoever and play great. Send them my way...I would prefer the maps from a time standpoint but maps/ links whichever is easier for you. Presently the program I have access to only recognizes roman and cyrillic characters and will translate only to English but there are additions (sort of Mods) that can be added but I will check where I used to work regarding Chinese. I would ask that someone check the English maps against the originals from time to time just to make sure that the translation is not to liberal...I have some input so let me know and I can adjust it. Glad you like it...I just don't want to interfere with anyone's livelihood (current websites etc.)...I know how hard it is to make it today. Long-winded way to say 'Thanks'...glad to be of help. Cheers |
