Unit Pack Compatibility Project (UPC) 5.4 English - 1.8 German (13.1.10)

Hello all

I put forward a thread sometime ago but had no response so I've decided that a rebranding might do the trick

Overview

Different mods are not compatible with each other if they require their own loc file. To make them compatible you must first combine the added loc entries within each mod. Therefore this mod aims to create a universal loc file that can be used to make as many mods as possible compatible with each other.

Installation

When you download any of the mods listed below do not use the loc file that comes with them. Instead use the UCP file attached in this thread and paste it into the data folder. That way you no longer have to chose between mods as you can now enjoy them all running at the same time


New in UPC 5.4 English
Darthmod 5.0 Garrison units
European Wars 0.6
POM's British Unit Pack 1.4 + 1.5
TAR 2.0 (upcoming)
fixed and removed some double entries

New in UPC 1.8 German
Darthmod 5.0 Garrison units
European Wars 0.6
POM's British Unit Pack 1.4 + 1.5


This means that you can play now all included "Unit Pack Mods" together. But there is a limit how many units are shown in the recruitment queue. Please read this: *** UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE ***

Here is the new thread. Please go to this thread below if you have any comments.

Unit Pack Compatibility Project (UPC) 5.7 English - 2.1 German


Thanks a lot and cheers
Swiss Halberdier

I just released my AUM 2.3 with a combinated language file for the mods that are posted in the first post by applelover:

> patch_aum_en_loc_all.zip = the English "localisation.loc" of all unit names from AUM and the "UPC Project" together.

This means that you can play now all "Unit Pack Mods" together. But there is a limit how many units are shown in the recruitment queue. Please read this "*** UNIT LIMIT IN THE UI RECRUITMENT QUEUE ***"

Great stuff Swiss

Sharpe 1.4 is on the way, if we get all the unit modders involved and get it stickied it will be a great help for everyone.

applelover

This sounds like an interesting project. Would there be a central location for the loc file and all modders just d/l the most up to date file and place their entries?

Hello Officerpuppy, after I release my AUM 2.0 I will upload my new "patch_aum_en_loc_all.pack" on this site again on my post nr.3.

After we are some more unit-modders who upload their file we can discuss who will do the "general" file.

Like a Fellowship of the Loc?

I've been working with ToonTotalWar on some projects lately and I've been trying to keep my loc up to date with his, but with this project, both our work would be compatible with other peoples work. Very convienent!

One Loc to rule them all!;)

Just released Sharpe 1.4 and have updated the loc file. I have attached it to the top of the thread

Until CA changes the way how we can update the "localization.loc" we can keep this very useful project up.

updated to sharpe 1.41

appleover -you may want to download my British units mod today as New loc file in there for new units etc..

AUM 2.0 has been released and I have attached the new "loc" file to the third post in this thread.

@ToonTotalWar
I will include your new "loc" file in my next update.

Updated to sharpe 1.5 and aum 2.0

I'll be sending you my loc during the week, or you could d/l them from my two mods. Although I might be adding one or two units to one of them so you'll need an updated copy.

attached v2 which integrates the fabulous Great spirit mod by Irmo.

enjoy

applelover
