Hi all,
Rob and Panama Red have released a stand alone 'Consolidated mods' for BH&H II only.

In Summary, this new all in one mod, "WOFF 0 BH&HII - Consolidated Custom Facilities Airfields Mod" has new French airfields and allied airfields in it and the airfields now have their infrastructure change with the time periods to reflect a semblance of the historical.

The downloads are available in the 'User Mods Pages' (Airfields).

Airfields

The pages are dated 29th June 2021. If you don't see that date in the header block of those pages, clear your internet cache or refresh the page.

This new mod does three main things:
1. Populates all the existing airfields like the past WOFF Populated Airfields mods.
2. Automatically advances the airfields through the three main time frames, Early War (1914-1916), Middle War (1917) and Late War (1918) years without you having to activate or deactivate the three time frame portions of this mod in the past through JSGME.
3. Adds a completely new set of airfields to the game (French & American) that you can fly from and enjoy.

The Front Line airfields are now divided into three groups who's facilities progress over time representing how the combatants airforces historically evolved:
1. Allied (British & French) in Flanders as the British poured vast amounts of resources into the RFC/RAF during the war to create a modern air war machine second to none.
2. Germans in Flanders, Marne, Verdun and Alsace who could not grow as much as the Allies because of the Naval Blockade and their limited resources as the war dragged on.
3. French (French & American) in Marne, Verdun and Alsace that stayed pretty constant until the Americans arrived in 1918 with their huge amount of men and material that really grew their areas airfields.

Brilliant stuff, and IMO a must have mod. Thanks to all that worked on it.

This is just great!

Do I understand this correctly that the mod 'Automatically' changes the time periods embodied with the mods early, mid and late War representations? No more manual changing as your Campaign progresses?

You are correct!

@Sandbagger

Only two files I can find in your link points to custom facilities, not airfields. The airfields mod is dated 27th and is ver 1.0.

Am I being dumb ?

Best regards.

The old Custom Airfields Parts 0, 1, 2 and 4 are now combined into Part 0 in the new Consolidated Airfield mod. That is why you only see one download for all the airfields named: "WOFF 0 BH&HII - Consolidated Custom Facilities Airfields Mod"

The other two parts are addons for the Verdun Forts and Harvirincourt Wood that Lou made a while back. These two files are strictly optional and really have nothing to do with the airfield mod, just they will work with it causing no problems.

Thank you for the clarification. You all are really making it hard for me to hold out and enjoy PE for a while longer before I plunk more money down for BH&H II.

Many thanks Panama, installed and loving it !

WOW @Panama, that's a big step for this great mod!
I have updated it in the mod-list on CA.

Greetings!

Becker01:
Thank you.

Hallo @PR,

a short question:
I have also installed the "WOFF BH&H!! Tracers Effects Mod 1.1" from @JJJ65. And if I try to activate your mod via JSGME there is a conflict, because both mods use the effects.xml (JSGME: "effects.xml" has already been altered by the "Effectsnotracer" mod.). Is it a problem or is there a recommendation, which mod I should activate first?

Thanks for answer and Greetings

The effects.xml file in this mod is tied in with Lou's custom airfields, so you need to ask him what is particular about his effect.xml file versus using the standard effect.xml that is in BH&H2. I am guessing that it has to do with facilities fireplace smoke, but that is pure speculation.

But to answer your question in a general sense the last file activated overrides any previous file in JSGME. So if you want the Tracers Effect Mod, just overwrite the effects.xml file in the Consolidated Custom Facilities Airfields Mod.

Thanks!

"So if you want the Tracers Effect Mod, just overwrite the effects.xml file in the Consolidated Custom Facilities Airfields Mod." Exactly that I have done.

Greetings

Becker01;

The "effects.xml" file in the "Effects" folder of the "WOFF 0 BH&HII - Consolidated Custom Facilities Airfields Mod" contains a special Chimney Smoke entry for Lou's Boistrancourt airfield. That is the only change. If you want to look it up do a search for string "Chimney_Smoke02".

Hope that helps some.

Regards

@Robert _Wiggins,

and Thanks!

Greetings

Replacing the effectsfile breaks lot of bhah2 stuff incorporated. so you should use the bhah2 effect files not some old ones from some mods, unless they have been updated with the latest bhah2 file. Also new patches means more stuff is added to the effect files so if tinkering with them, then always with the latest one.

@Creaghorn,

your words in consequence:
The tracer-mod is okay, because the base is the BH&HII-effectsfile.
And from the CCFA-mod (consolidated ... -mod) I should delete the older effectsfile, because it's from previous WOFF-Versions.

Is it right?

Greetings

In response to the issue Creaghorn so aprly identified, I can attest that the one in the Consolidated Airfields Mod is identical to BH&H II but with one added feature for Smoke-Stack.

Yeah cool. Also every new patch might have new effect files so watch out to adapt the mod ones always to the latest effect file before installing the mod again.

cheers

Yep, the tracer mod is based on the latest BH&HII effects file. No changes to effects.xml file in latest patch(es).

Mike --

Check the link for the WOFF 0 - Consolidated Custom Facilities Airfields Mod Ver 2.2 (7th September 2021). I'm getting a file not found error when I click the download link.

MA

Oops - character in link shouldn't have been there - fixed now,

Mike

I have made the update in BH&H2-mod-list on CA.

Greetings!

Hello
I have the BH&H II version.

I wanted to install BH & HII - Consolidated Custom Facilities Airfields Mod, but during the installation I got the message: JSGME not found in i: \ OBDSoftware \ WOFF. Install that first !.

The problem was that I had JSGME installed in the game's main directory: \ BDSoftware \ WOFF \ OBDWW1 Over Flander Fields.
The program worked with other mods.

However, since the PC wants to have it in the directory: \ OBDSoftware \ WOFF, I cut and pasted the program as requested. I retired other mods just in case. Done.
I click, - failure again. The old message came back.
I deleted JSGME, pasted it again. Effect - see above ...

Am I doing something wrong?

regards

not sure if it matters, but do you also have 'mods' folder in the \WOFF folder where you have the jsgme program?

Hello

Yes, I also have this folder.
As I wrote, JSGME previously worked with other mods.
When I reinstalled it, I only changed its location: \ OBDSoftware \ WOFF


regards

Is there JSGME.ini file in the same folder? If so, open it with Notepad and check the correct path:

Taal;

Please give us a screen shot of your WOFF install using windows explorer. That will help. It should look something like this:

Look Here first

Look here second

Look here last

Robert:
I think you meant to say that the JSGME mods are installed in the "MODS" folder, not "JSGME" in the second picture.

Yes you are correct and I fixed the picture to show that. Thanks

Hello

Robert, thank you for such a quick answer. Everything worked out as it should be.
There are several conclusions from this.

1. I don't have much experience with PC. That's why - I read the instructions - I follow - it works.
When I was installing JSGM, I read ReadMeFirst Instaling. There it was recommended: "2. Copy and paste the JSGME.exe, and JSGME.ini files into your game's m a i n folder ..." So I did and the program worked, I used other mods.
When there was a conflict with the mod, I pasted JSGME into the WOFF file but didn't fix the .ini path.

2. Your graphic hint is simple, and pictorial. Instructions for PC users like me. Step by step, I quickly corrected everything. I'm just a better pilot than a programmer.

3. Maybe pin this thread to technical topics (?), because it may turn out that other pilots after reading "ReadMeFirst Instaling" ... see point 1.

regards

Taal I will reviw the ReadMe file and correct things there.

Best regards

Taal;

Your statement in red text above is not in the ReadMe file. See this link which to the ReadMe file which I just extracted from Sandbaggers web site: HERE

Note that under the heading "Installation and Usage" in the second paragraph it states "The “jsgme_setup.exe” file should be placed into the “WOFF” directory before running it.".

Hope that helps
