WW2W_Intermediate_Mod is now available for download.
I didn't find the free time to do all I wanted. So rather than hold onto what I have already done, I just decided to release as is.
No Winter terrain, and less missions than I would have liked to provided.
Here is the download link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Fmisc7krpbziMXBEFqhoAt8jiMXRQ5n9
WW2 Intermediate Mod Unit data base is completed.
Didn't get to spend as much time on this project as I would have liked as real life got in the way at times. Take it as an: it is what it is Mod.
I will be moving onto an Advanced Mod. A lot of preparation required before release, so no time frame for release.
If you like the WW2 Intermediate Mod then try the Advanced Mod.
Eventually 2 more Advanced Mods and an all inclusive grognard Mod is planned. But nothing is promised.

Once the 7zip file is extracted, please be sure to back up the WW2 Intermediate Mod folder.
Please be sure to have an existing backup of your EDCE files before you begin any Mod implementation.
"By the way as of 04-08-18 The current build mod of EDCE is build 12. Please do make sure you're up to date."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can only use Windows as an example on where to place/implement the mod folders.
I don't have the other operating systems on hand to check out where you would put the mod folder.
If you have created your own load point, it's up to you to figure out where the \udb loadpoint, etc... is.

Notes from the Developer:
For
placement:
The "technical" term is <Game Data Directory>, followed by the sub directory, so like <Game Data Directory>/udb.
The Game Data Directory can be located in the Administration Screen ->
Directories button (it does vary from platform to platform).
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
udb = unit data base
Place the udb Mod folder and udb file here:
C:\Users\<Game Data Directory>\AppData\LocalLow\KBSW\EmpireDeluxe\udb
\7731WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Enhanced_Set_assets
C:\Users\<Game Data Directory>\AppData\LocalLow\KBSW\EmpireDeluxe\udb
\7731WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Enhanced_Set

For the config files.
These configs were made for you, to help setup the map and scenario settings when you want to play a WW2. Ultimately you will decide on the settings you like best. My configs are meant as a quick starting point.
Intermediate mission that I have created.
The config loadpoint goes into the admin folder. Copy out folder and paste into the Admin config folder.
Example:
C:\Users\<Game Data Directory>\AppData\LocalLow\KBSW\EmpireDeluxe\admin\config\
Then in game select new game and load config.
The following: <WW2W_Intermediate_WW2 folder>, should have the following configs:
WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Anzio_Coast
WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Bronze_Beach
WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Highway_to_Bastogne
WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Island_Hopping
WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Narrow_Channel_Challenge
WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Winter_War
Select the appropriate config for the scenario you would like to play.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Map and Scenarios:
Might just want to copy out files and paste into the map and scn folders, respectively.
C:\Users\<Game Data Directory>\AppData\LocalLow\KBSW\EmpireDeluxe\scns
C:\Users\<Game Data Directory>\AppData\LocalLow\KBSW\EmpireDeluxe\maps
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Where are your AI scripts located?
A. In the Mod folders "7731WW2W_Intermediate_WW2_Enhanced_Set_assets" to find the AIScripts, look to the "unknown" folder for them.
If you would like to exam them in order to figure out how to edit or perhaps help you create your own scripts for your own mod.
12 different WW2 Intermediate AI scripts to choose from.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the unitnames folder are 3 files, adding further names for units, Destroyer, Cruiser and General.
This will help aid in keeping unit names uniques and less prone to redundancy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should you happen to make your own maps and mission please upload to the steam community forum on the
EDCE steam page.
-or if you like send me a notification and email or upload link to:-
ww2_weasel@yahoo.com
I will then compile all new missions and maps and make them available on steam.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep in mind when playing scenario's you may need to tweak them in order to find a desired result, drain, no drain, etc...
Enjoy!
