No problem. Download the file from here: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BxJHVrUn6TWSc3RNUHFUQmdRVDA&export=download

Open the zip file and locate the mymenu.exe contained therein. Drop it into your main Panzer Elite folder, over-writing the one already there from Ostpak.

Mymenu.exe crash explained:

With build 18_1_2d I corrected an error in PE where the player and wingman units did not have any ammo available if the main gun has MG ammo type only. I neglected to consider if the unit did not have a main gun. The Ostpak 251/1 can be selected as a wingman. The unit has no main gun and uses the old work around of making the MG the bow gun. No ammo loaded after the original code and no main gun equaled crash while trying to load the ammo pool with MG ammo for a non existing gun.

I also neglected to enter this bug fix in the change log

Please check this version: brit44.com/pex/files/mymenu18_2a.zip

Thank you Aldo - you are a Legend! For the interim period this can be applied as a hotifx - all you need to do is to replace the mymenu.exe with this. I will be re-uploading the entire mod shortly & updating the links.

The mod in the first post has been updated witht he fixed mymenu executable, so there wont be anymore crashes upon Campaign starts. There is a stil a particular texture memory issue (one of the Pz4 variants in Desert setting) - Aldo is looking into this and hopefully can fix it. Once that is done I'm re-uploading the mod. In the meantime you can grab the version here (as I said campaign is already fixed) or wait till the patched one comes out - probably next week.

No offence Daskal, but you are trying to update PE3, not add 3D wheels to Ostpak. Had you told me that to begin with, I would have to told you the amount of man hours is not hobby time. Not only do you have to update Ostpak, but you have to fix all the bugs BobR created by merging 3 mods into one while the game engine mod was in it's infancy.

Maybe in a week we can talk through the ghost tank, but to make that mod fit the game engine still needs HOURS of modding time. I will contine to help, but I am BITTER that this that #%&*$# (s_h_I_t) mod PE3.

A legend, no. I am just that prick al. Always have been, always will be. We would be luck if this POS is in compliance this year. And, I am sick of spending my Brit44-x time on PEPuke (3). But, I respect the man hours you have put into the mod so in for a penny, in for a pound.

I wish that floating truck guy would just mail me a rope and a stool.

Take it easy & take a break Aldo. I'm glad for whatever support you can provide. If we are making progress in 2 months I don't mind. If we are not making any - the same.
The Update to Ostpak is at a stage that's pretty stable/playable/has the improvements of the new engine. So I'm happy as it is. this ghost tank issue seems to be confided to a particular Panzer IV model and in desert setting only - so its not a big deal.

Btw. the reason I'm trying to cleanup some of the older mess is to be able to keep sticking to the most recent game engine.

Yeah, the German campaign works now. Speaking of which, were the Campaign files also changed with the included mods? I don't recall meeting a squad of M4A1's in the first mission at the first objective (they were M3's or M5's IIRC?) smile

Edit: Perhaps I remember it wrong as the backup scn file has them too in Platoon Alpha (and I suppose the definitions there are not influenced by the unit csv files like the Zug Falke).

But, the first German AK campaign mission seems broken. I'm pretty sure the US infantry used to move around and start retreating at some point. Now, they just stay put inside the buildings so some are impossible to locate, especially since the artillery seems rather weak now and does barely any damage to the Toum Station houses.

I've compared the scenario scn files and apart from some unit types, it seems the same. So, perhaps some general AI changes?

If the game engine can not find the correct unit, a default is used. The one used is dependent on the mod. Checking that the scripted units are within the unit csv and there 3D model is present should show where the bug is .

The infantry file table can be adjusted to affect the AI reactions and kills. The AI scripts should be checked for withdraw conditions. The map should also be checked for strong points that the infantry will withdraw tword (scenario/scapes/*.dat), but that is impossible without writing a tool as the Ostpak project maps were lost by the creator. HE effect for blast radius was changed when blast radius was added to armor penetration of indirect impact. If you up the value in the guns.csv, then the round becomes more deadly to the entire 3D world.

Ok, installed, everything runs fine, just trying the first russian scenario in June 1941, but cannot remember how can I enter the gunsight view. I select the gunner with 1 on the numpad, but I get only the inside cuppola view. How can I enter the periscopes to aim and fire?

A quick refresher of the default key commands can be found here: http://pedg.yuku.com/topic/1710/Feeling-a-little-rusty

Within a given 3D cockpit, you can have up to four camera tracks. To access these, move the mouse in the direction of the track or use the F1-F4 keys.

F8 is the default shortcut to the gunners optics.

That's odd - you say it's not available in the options menu? Can you post a screenshot? I have to check at my end as well - I did make some changes to the actual menu - removing the soldier sprites etc. Maybe it has to do with that.

That made the options entry back and useable. Thanks guys!

I noticed the "default" scenarios are not useable now, is there any way to solve that?

The original scenarios and campaigns should be there and playable. What trouble are you having?
