ShadowNinja 25 Jan, 2022 @ 12:36am 
this mod has white map font and non reflective water mods integrated right?

Tank varriants such as Elefant and sturmtiger (goes for all tank varriants for all countries) are extremely small compared to the larger size main tank model

When zoomed in on a russian frontline that uses tanks (i think its Light tanks specifically) there is a random crash when a certain action happens, but i was never able to figure out which action that was. It MAY be an incompatibility issue with

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1862018480

but i don't see why that would be, since i am fairly certain i have experienced the crash before that mod was added to my modlist. It only became a big issue once one of my group of friends decided to play Russia with Mobile Doctrine. Again, our friend who was using the cadet version was unaffected.

The crashes were only beginning to happen once a war was ongoing, so i think it may be one of the animations not agreeing fully with the mod.

@Splinter i never encountered that, can you give me a few more details (either here or in dms)?
Splinter 21 Aug, 2021 @ 11:43am 
Addendum: the Cadet version doesn't have this issue.
Splinter 21 Aug, 2021 @ 11:42am 
So there is an issue with this mod and Russian tanks that crashes the game without warning. Normally, any game played in europe isn't much affected, but it makes a Russia or Manchukou game crash-prone, as the AI tends to send the armored divisions to the far east.

Yes, please. I want to use my favorite font mod but it just makes all the names dissapear off the map.
SalzStange 6 Jun, 2021 @ 8:51am 
hi could you do a version without the ugly font. The mod is good cause it replaces other mods with one single mod. But the font stuff is extremly ugly. The Nationnames are way to big. Vanilla looks betther. The rest is amazing
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 26 May, 2021 @ 1:58pm 
@The_Spartan nah man, dont worry. Actually i havent worked on the mod for a couple weeks/month even tho i said i would, so getting notified that people are still "generally interested" may lead to me getting back to work here. If there is something you for example are looking for in this mod, just let me know.
The_Spartan 26 May, 2021 @ 1:11pm 
Thanks for the answers man, much appreciated. And forgive me for taking your time.
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 26 May, 2021 @ 11:43am 
@The_Spartan ive adjusted the size of all models individually, but of course with a lot of attention to the size relations between the models. On the one hand a tanks size should reflect its class (light=small and heavy=big) and on the other hand i tried to reflect the relative sizes of lets say the Panzer 3, Panzer 4 and Panther.
The_Spartan 23 May, 2021 @ 11:35pm 
Yeah you are right. I compared them at the start of the game. I generally use heavy tanks or level 2-level 3 models which are slightly bigger than the level 1 (light tank) models so that is why I thought something strange was going on. Did you increase tank size for all tanks by a certain % or are some actually proportionally bigger than others?
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 23 May, 2021 @ 12:42pm 
@The_Spartan the screenshots were definitly made with a "pure" Vanilla-Version (just saying)
The_Spartan 22 May, 2021 @ 8:23pm 
I don't understand how the tank models in the screenshots you provided are so small for vanilla... Mine are definetely bigger when compared with infantry models.
The Silliest Goose 23 Apr, 2021 @ 1:35pm 
great mod the only problem is that when i play road to 56 German empire i don't get the infantry skins that i get in vannilla
Kryndude 9 Apr, 2021 @ 5:12pm 
Would love a larger tanks only mod.
ecnahc 5 Apr, 2021 @ 7:51pm 
I would personally love subbranch's of this mod that are meant to be used with some of the popular overhaul mods on the workshop. The alt-reality mods that have different models would not benefit, but some of the historical mods would. I'd like to see up-scaled tanks in BlackICE, especially.
Charlemagne 5 Apr, 2021 @ 12:04pm 
If you want to remove the font, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\2396067847\gfx and delete the fonts folder
خروس چاق من را بمک 21 Mar, 2021 @ 8:20am 
This mod is amazing i always hated how small the tanks were. Maybe make it so tanks have priority over infantry when stacked on the same tile.
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 15 Mar, 2021 @ 6:35am 
@SCP-1689 when i find the time i will release a upscaled models only version. The amount of maintenance time just increases with every version of the mod i make public, thats one of the reasons it takes soo long
Domstack 14 Mar, 2021 @ 9:05pm 
Is there a mod that only modified skin without changing the font? The country name is not displayed properly. I guess it's not applied because the language used is different.
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 8 Mar, 2021 @ 7:34am 
you can try to figure it out yourself: download both mods. Then create a new mod in the Hoi4 Launcher (jsut on your harddrive, not the workshop). After that you just copy the parts of both mods you want to use into your own mod folder.
Vaulty ♥ 8 Mar, 2021 @ 6:23am 
Nah it's alright. Don't wanna take up too much of your time. Thanks for the offer to help though ^^
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 7 Mar, 2021 @ 3:57am 
Thanks for letting me know about that not working - i have another idea which could make it work, even tho the way there being less convenient. But due to me not being great at english and the method itself being kinda complicated id prefer to not post a super long message here. Could we figure that out in DMs?
Vaulty ♥ 5 Mar, 2021 @ 2:19pm 
Sorry to be a pain, but I just tried that method, loading your mod before and after the other font mod and with both load types it gets the same result of there being no text on the map at all.
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 5 Mar, 2021 @ 4:50am 
@Vaulty ♥ you need to open the "launcher-settings.json" in your Hearts of Iron IV folder. In there you change the Line: "modLoadOrderDisabled": true into "modLoadOrderDisabled": false. After that you can open the HoI4 Launcher and make sure that your font mod is below this mod. That way (or the other way around) it should work ^^
Vaulty ♥ 4 Mar, 2021 @ 5:41pm 
Is there any way to override the font of this mod with another mod? I love the rest of the mod, but have another font I prefer. Any info on how I can use both at once? Thanks in advance.
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 24 Feb, 2021 @ 2:23am 
@Emir a loss in performance would not be plausible to me: the graphical/textural edits all use the same or lower resolutions than vanilla and the upscaled tank models also shouldnt hurt the performance, since the game has to render lots of infantry models anyway so that the few bigger tanks shouldnt make a difference.
emir 23 Feb, 2021 @ 11:36pm 
Does this reduce performance in any way?
stjern 23 Feb, 2021 @ 12:14am 
Great work!
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 21 Feb, 2021 @ 1:47pm 
@Andonioilpro i have just answered that question in the comment below yours.
Currently you will have to resort to the Cadet-Version, but i will try to make also just parts of the mod available,
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 21 Feb, 2021 @ 1:45pm 
@USMapper123 in itself the mod is compatible. BUT if the other mod you want to play edits the same files, your mod-load-order will decide which edit gets shown in the game.
Andonioilpro 21 Feb, 2021 @ 11:47am 
to use this mod do i have to have allies armor dlc too? bc i have only axis armor pack
USMapper123 21 Feb, 2021 @ 10:27am 
Is this Mod Compatible with other mods like The Great War Mod or Endsieg?
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 21 Feb, 2021 @ 8:26am 
If you “just“ have the Cadet Edition, you will have to use that for now - in the future i will try to make more “parts“ of the mod available (aka Axis Armor Pack, Allied Armor Pack, etc)
NGx_D 21 Feb, 2021 @ 8:18am 
So what mod (Cadet and the Colonel) do you get if you have the Allied Armored Pack but not the Axis Armored Pack?
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 21 Feb, 2021 @ 5:31am 
@Gear196 if you look through the collection of screenshots provided, you will see that the colonel/DLC edition provides way more upscaled Models. BUT as the name says, you will need to own either the colonel edition of the Game or the “Armor Pack DLCs“. I hoped the hyperlink-picture at the beginning of the mods description would clarify which version to choose.

If you use the wrong version, you either see variety than you should OR will have to deal with invisible/non-existing models.
Gear 21 Feb, 2021 @ 5:00am 
can anyone explain me what is the difference between two versions of mods?
jbgaringan 20 Feb, 2021 @ 9:46pm 
A hero for cheap people like me!
Xzoi 20 Feb, 2021 @ 7:45pm 
looks the same as original graphics
SieboDerGeologe  [author] 20 Feb, 2021 @ 5:44pm 
@Hitler's Dress Shoe thats a farir point, and i thought about that aswell, BUT due to how the models of the tanks were made available (via both armor packs and/or the colonel edition) this is kind of difficult
The Guy in Your Closet 20 Feb, 2021 @ 5:42pm 
You should add the requirement that DLCs are needed if they are. People complain and go right to the comments without using common sense
hawkWind 20 Feb, 2021 @ 6:09am

LordDeathPie 19 Feb, 2021 @ 9:02pm 
this is a really nice mod
