Quoteis this a new 'nature walk' patch?

Screen shots from the map Shilovo.

Not patch,a new DLC for GTOS that is suppose to be released sometime this week.
It's about a battle that took place south of Voronezh in the Summer of 1942 involving the 24th Pz division.
A few Russian fans of the game made the new map and researched the order of battle and submitted it to Graviteam.

I think they did a very good job on map and I'm looking forward to adding it to my game.

Mius Front 43 will be a new game with a new engine,not a DLC for GTOS.

Here's a reason I regularly put off firing up APOS/Graviteam lately:



See that absolute mess in the Patches section? 

It's not the patching process.. I've done that before.  I'm familiar with that oddness.  It's the clutter that are the patches themselves.  I'm sure I need at least two of these updates, for the base APOS game, a third one being optional.. and maybe more?  Do I need all of them?!  Dubya Tee Eff?  There's also likely a certain order they have to be implemented, not to mention the four extra friggin' DLC packs not even listed here. 

What a cluster!  :(

It's a great game that could use more organization.  ;)

All you need is the gtos_cu_581c1_eng(That is the main engine)
and the gtos_patch_aug13_rc2_eng(latest Patch)

Install the engine 1st,then the aug13 patch.
This will bring your whole game up to date.

Once You've done this add the DLCs they all will work with latest aug patch.

The rest of the stuff up there is optional or older patches,the older patches aren't necessary.

Thanks. 

Wish they'd remove the older ones when new ones are uploaded.  Would make it less daunting to figure out.

Unfortunately Night postmans uniform mod does not work with the new Shilovo DLC.
If you have it enabled you will need to disable it when playing/using the new DLC.

Hopefully in the near future Night Postman will update his mod for this DLC also.

Initially I disable all mods when installing and updating then enbable them later to see what effects they may trigger.
This one causes a crash to desk top.
Bummer,I really like the uniform mod and wish Graviteam would incorporate all his work into their DLCs and not have them as a separate mod.

Dolan, don't you also have to update the individual modules, like "Volokonovka" etc.?  Or no?  And how can you tell which modules have been updated and which haven't, from the Gamersgate site that is?

Also, can you point me to the *definitive* info. on how the modules should be ordered, top to bottom, in the game updater?  I've seen so many different answers on this I no longer know what's correct.

Wasn't there a sticky on the Graviteam forums at some point about this stuff, i.e. what the latest versions were and how to install?  Seems like its no longer there.

Volokonovka was recently updated so you may want to re-download it.
Kraab has recently started a Wikki for this series and I think He has a picture of the correct order.I haven't looked,but I remember him saying that was his intention.
Almost all the DLCs have been updated at one point or another with a few exceptions so you may want to update them if you haven't lately.

My game runs fine but I never added the Hi res or Zhalonashkol DLCs to my game.These 2 DLCs are what are screwing everything.

Generally your order was game update at bottom district update above that then DLCs no particular order and then if you added a mod that would go above everything.

The hi res DLC is called a DLC but acts like a mod and has to be on top,and since Zhalanashkol it seems whenever a new DLC is released it has to go above the prior one released before that.

I know confusing,and stupid.Have to wonder what GT is smoking sometimes.

I used to keep the sticky updated on Graviteams forum but one of the admins un- stickied it so I don't do it anymore.

GTOS is almost done and won't see much more in the way of DLCs and Mius Front will be a new game and hopefully Graviteam will get its shit together and come up with a more user friendly way of updating the game.
I mentioned to Andrey that the read me should be more specific when adding new content to the game and He agreed and said it was something they plan to address with Mius Front.

Krabb chimed in on this same topic recently on the Graviteam forum.

"Well, the one on the wiki is recommended by Andrey. Smiley Generally, the patch should be above DLCs. Or in other words: everything should be ordered by its release date. Exceptions are mods and the Hi-Res Textures pack, they go above everything else. Strictly speaking, updates and DLCs are designed to mostly not require strict ordering. But there is a bug in the Prophet/Hooper DLCs, they share some configs with Zhalanashkol and should be placed under it. But release date criteria fixes this by itself.

As of district update, it really doesn't matter. It updates only Taranovka and Rakitnoe maps. Nothing else touches them, even the patch."

Many thanks Dolan -- I figured you must be "Dane49" over at the Graviteam forum -- which is to say, the person doing the most work to make this game accessible to the English speaking world.  Appreciate it a lot. 

Why they would remove the update sticky you posted is completely beyond me -- although that's in keeping with a lot of the way Graviteam operates... which is to say, mystifying...

I figured I could hold off on Shilovo, but as usual the flesh is weak... will purchase it today...
