Hi, Just wondering what's happened to the excellent HPS Napoleonic Campaign Echmuhl graphic mod (which I saw here late last year) which reduced the size of the icons but increased the number of people displayed per icon, making it much more realistic and visually accurate (ie cavalry units increased to 8 troopers, infantry increased to 22 men) ?

Thanks for your efforts Lee, all you give to us is wellcome, i rarelly use 3D before but now i use it more, my eyes dont cry blood now when i use it hehehe, i think napoleonic need a better 3D work (battalions as battalions not as companies) and your Waterloo mod if i dont know the original game i think is professional work.

RM??? what mod is it??? sorry but abbreviations and siglas lost me a lot.

Glad you guys brought this to the top of the page again, as l'm usually playing other games and working, so must have missed this terrific mod first time round.

These fellow wargamers, are the unsung heroes who pass on all their labours to the rank and file like me, but don't get the full recognition they deserve.

I SALUTE YOU ALL ,and many thanks for sharing your work with us.

Anyhow l have bought most of the HPS games over the years. but enjoy pbem the big campaigns, playing PZC and WitP but sofar have no got to the Napoleonic titles.

Downloaded one or two of the large add on's but there was a conflict with some of the scenarios.

So l restarted and installed all of Alte Jenssons and others 3D map art, with the smaller figures wherever possible, what a joy, this is a marvelous enhancesment, so much better as l always play in 3D.

Now as l don't want to mess up all this good work, could someone please recommend which UNIT art to upgrade to ( the unit art which goes into the info folder, and shows up on the info bar ) so that the basic game scenarios are not messed up.

Thanks in advance.

Well the basic update to this MOD is done. The full complete MOD wont be done till I finish the Unit.bmp, so I’ll put this part out and maybe it will help those who play in 3D. Later I will add more realistic buildings and Minor Nation flags.

This MOD was set up to work with the Borodino.OOB and I’m telling you that because some of other OOB’s change 3D numbers around so you will see incorrect unit graphics for some of the other OOB’s.
Also you will see Russian 3D Units in your French OOB. For example the infantry tile sheet 3DUnits100c.bmp has 42 possible Unit assignments of which numbers 0 thur 6 are used for the Russian Units and the number 0 is used for all Jager non-guard Units. This same number 0 is also assigned for the Leibgarde(Hess) Units. The numbers 27, 28, 29, I could not find used at all. So when you see Russian Units running around in your French OOB its not me that’s doing it but the OOB.
This is why I don’t really care to MOD this game system anymore 2 many problems.

Anyway you can find the basic MOD HERE (http://ezjax.bravehost.com/Downloads/NRC2.0.zip).

Thanks for the mod Lee!!! well, a unfinished mod is the most usual, i know mods who are in the 4.4 version and lots of submods. Your Rusian mod is great, i love your 2D terrain art!!!

Well, take your time and work in your favourite mods, we allways wait for your work hehehe.

Lee, superb mod, again many thanks for those great 3d units, l'm gonna have a lotta time on my hands later on this year, maybe it's time to start a Campaign game.

l don't have a clue about modding, but can understand your point of view, as all the different units are tied up together, pity the art files are not seperate like the PZC ones.

Have you considered posting your work elsewhere, such as the Blitz.

Sorry but since I had a hard disk crash and lost a lot of my work I’m out of the MOD business for awhile. Try this MOD (http://www.gamesquad.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62969&page=2). People seem to like this, good luck.

If I ever put up anything again it will show up at this location HERE (http://ezjax.bravehost.com/MOD/). Right now its a dead link but hopefully it will have something one day.
