New Faction that works with EF

[sirenian]

I don't know if this is something ya'll can help me with or not:

I'm building an Italian faction that I would like to work with the Eastern Front mod. I'm to the point where I want to start play testing to make sure it's balanced, the only problem being that I can't get anybody else into a multiplayer game.

I can play skirmish games by myself, but whenever somebody else (with copies of all my Italian files) tries to join a game of mine or I theirs, it gives a message that the version is incompatible. I can't find anything anywhere after hours of scrounging the addresses how to fix compatibility errors with mods.

Do I need to make a stand alone mod that does not work with EF or is there some bit of code somewhere I need to change?

Thanks for your time

Send me the files , ill see what i can do

[MajorWintersEasyCO]

pretty sure you need to have a certain shortcut made for it or you need to run it using the vcoh icon, usually that works for most mods, regardless of having to have the "-dev mode" crap in the target/start line in the shortcuts properties...

I'm building an Italian faction that I would like to work with the Eastern Front mod.

I would like to see the Italian faction that you created.

Change ItalyMod to your folder name.
This will load your folder, over the top of the EF one.

Once I get the command trees all put together I'm going to try and farm it out to have some people play test for balance issues while I work on *attempting* to re-skin the units. And I have to say, getting some of the command tree abilities to work properly is probably the most difficult stuff I've had to do to date.

[Seeme]

I can help in testing and such if if you need it a UI artist, but no modeling things.
