Unfortunately it didn't work. but Skirmish works fine.

Glad to see you still working on this. But I can't even start the first Omaha Beach mission. I'll leave my log file here. Happy new year, Halftrack.

I wouldn't say that Luftwaffe units DID NOT use brown belts/straps nor blue gaitors or canteen covers, just not as much common as early 42 doesn't means they don't use those things. Even after war there's tons of stockpiled M36 field blouse in the storage.

More often they use what is available at the period. Which depends current logistik at the time. This is why you'll see West front soldiers use what's left over from Afrika Korps like those canvas straps or canteen covers.

But, yes most of Luftwaffe units use black belts and Y straps as Heers are.

Is it possbile to change the belt buckle of WH officers?

All of them wrongly use the SS one. It's common that SS officers like to use the WH 目 type buckle, but it's very rare that WH officers use those SS round-shape buckle far as I know.

I can't find Logfiles anywhere in my Company of Heroes Relaunch folde, any help?

Edit:No worry, I found it. I'll sent you later.

I think at the moment you just push too much content at once. I have "Fatal AI Error" on many custom mission or skirmish. I haven't finish American campaign yet . But I think maybe you could focus on update the original CoH content and skirmish first, than go for the custom campaign after all of us could run the SP campaign and skirmish.

Backing the day, your Skin pack is a must have mod for me while I play CoH. As a Reenactor myself this mod is what I always hope for and I was shock that you still working on the project! Even I haven't play CoH for many years, you're the reason I re-install the good-ole CoH1 with appreciation and respect.

Is there any debug console in CoH that we could find in our Local files?

It appears a line on bottom of screen says "fatal AI error, game paused" or someting then the game just paused.

Would you mind tell us your perspctive of mod in future or draw a roadmap for us? What would we gonna have in phase 2?

American ToV Mission "Battle over Cauquigny" will always CTD no matter what.

Could you include German version of those file into the mod? plz

Many mission seems buged... Like Tiger Ace. and some even crash when I try to lunch the mission.

The Type 38 model you used is actually Type 99, and we don't call it Meiji Type 38 although it was the year that adopted by the IJA. 三八式歩兵銃 should just name as Type 38 rifle or another more common name as Arisaka Type 38 since it's belongs to a family of bolt action rifle "有坂銃".

4.MP38
There is too much SMG for Germans in the mod. I love to see MP38 remain in the early campaign, but they're too hard to find in game and you can find both MP40 during the campaign before 1940. Since MP38 is too similar with MP40 and phase out quickly in the middle of war. Replace MP38 with other worth thing to add might be a good idea, although I would be sad to cut off this one.

5.MP41
A unique SMG combine parts of MP38/40 and wooden stock from MP 28. Unlike MP38/40, the MP41 has a selector can switch between semi and full auto. But for some reason they're just like MP38/40 with different look in both B2F and HCTM. I suggest cut this off and add PPSH-41 and PPS-42 for Germans, since MP41 is very rare used in frontline and only issued by some SS units and police after 1944.

6.Erma EMP
I didn't remember there is Erma EMP in the B2F. Always good to see rare guns in the game, although model is not as good as other new weapons in the mod. This weapon is mainly use by French Army in HCTM. The Vichy France did acquired small amount of Erma EMP after German occupation. But just like MAS-38, SMG didn't got any major role during the WWII in the French Army. So the MAS-38 should be enough for French.

Here are some of the weapons I think need to be add or being cut off:

1.All portable Maxim MGs(MG08, Vickers, Browning M1917 etc.)
I know there are many Maxim type MGs and Browning MG still used during the WWII. And some German did use MG08 like portable back in WWI. But they really looks like Übersoldaten from other video game, since HCTM already have guns like MG34/42 or .30cal. Those portable MG08 are redundant and unlikely to use that way.

2.M2 Carbine
It's cool to see M2 Carbine in the game. But M2 carbine and other selective-fire M1 Carbine are not introduce before Apr. 1945. They're much more common in Pacific war, so basically M2 carbine is anachronistic in this mod.

3.De Lisle
Yet another cool gun from B2F mod. They're very limit used by British Commandos and SOE since late 1943. Only 129 are made back in WWII. If there is no special rescue mission or black ops campaign, you might want cut this cool gun off instead adding some better things in.

That's just more focus on the weapon system here. I kind like the hand to hand combat system in HCTM, it add more possible than just gun shooting. However there is too much automatic weapons on the field should reduce the mount to make player use this feature more often.

And I don't think we should have so much different guns add in mod. I know many of guns are from B2F mod, and it always fun to have new toy to play with. But this also break the core concept of HCTM in my opinion, it's always a trade-off between pros and cons.

I believe cutting off unnecessary weapons could make more space to enhance combat system or add new texture for NPCs, or even just upgrade the original weapons with more high poly model.

It's not Just Polish Army even same problem goes to every early war campaign. I'm not going to talk about character skins too much here, because I know that COD2 has its own limit. Like you can't remove the ammo pouch on offices belt. Back in 1939, German even don't have Y strip...those detail are too difficult to made for such mod like this.

But still, some little things might be done. For example: Some ammo pouch can be edit for different shape on Polish and French soldiers. The colour of Zeltbahn can also be change to different pattern instead using current Splittertarn. Because the current Polish and French Army are hard to recognize without helmet...

This is not SS M32 service uniform. Not means to be black, should be grey instead.

I don't know how those dying NPC's sidearms generate all randomly or can be set with. The only pistol that Polish Army ever used in this mod was "Wz.30/32" the Nagant 1895 revolver. Although there is another more commonly used Vis Wz.35 base on Browning's design which very similar to Soviet TT-33. And Poland did reproduced a licence copy of TT-33 called "PW Wz.33", but that was after the end of war.

Here are some of the historic opinion of mine about this mod. If there is anything you want to know, you're free to ask. Thanks again for make this mod come true.
--------------
Polish Army seems like too "Russian" to me. I don't expect them to speak Polish, or having accurate uniforms. But Kbk wz.29 is much similar to Kar.98k in original game, since its a copy base on German Kar.98AZ, and they even share the same cartridge with other German rifle. So replace the Kar.98k with current Mosin-Nagant for Polish Army might be a better idea.

During the early years of WWII, many battle still fight like the great war without too many SMG. There is too many automatic weapons in those campaign which feels unrealistic to me. The only SMG that Polish Army developing was the Mors wz.39, yet another design adopt from the German Erma EMP, which you have add as a new weapons in the mod. However, there is only very few of them been produced before the German invasion. So you could just remove the PPSH for Polish, since they didn't have any standard issue SMG by the time.

Rkm wz.28 was the standard equipment of Polish Army, this is the European vision of BAR, remove the DP-28 and replace them with BAR would be much suitable in this case.

I can't believe I'll have reinstall COD2 for this mod after so many years. I've tried B2F before as well as many other mods, but I have to say this is the mod that I been waiting for long time.

I didn't finish all the campaign. Just tried some of stock maps and fan made campaign, I don't know will this be the finale vision of the HCTM? Sometimes I still feel buggy on some of those campaign, and don't have any clue to move on.

And another thing is, as a reenactor I still feel the same problem with many anachronistic gears and weapons that break the immersion experience from the game itself. I'm not trying to nitpicking, and I understand the limit of game engine. But still, I think the core concept of HCTM is focus on recapture the experience of real WWII combat if I understand correctly.

So recreating the correct time period equipment for the game character would be a nice way to try in my opinion, if you still want to working on this mod in future update.

Since modern warfare tactical has evolve so fast during the WWII, player can feel the difference by the battle they occur in early stage of war to the ende of WWII.
