Drum Regiment Mod: French Only Version Added 13/7/09

[victormc49]

Rusty, you've got to help me...

A while ago i had a problem with v2.2 but it's altight now. I've read from Gnr Graham's board and he said that it was someting to do with MM v1.5 so suggested using the MM v1.4 instead, finally it worked!

So now i have the v2.3 installed along with other relevant stuff, but i havn't worked on your manual instructions yet. hate to say but it's really confusing...

Would you mind simplifying it? or showing me some step by step of how to do it?

These are my relevant mods i have at the current in loading order:
Drummer V2.43 UK Only.pack
Drummer_UK.pack
Drummer_France.pack
Bugler_France.pack
Bugler_UK.pack
Drummer V2.3.pack
French_musicv1.1.pack
GB_musicv1.1.pack

i also have the AUM patch as well (i didn't even know what's it for but since it's on there so...)

at the moment the burglers just hang'in around with vanilla sound (lazy bluglers!!!), Brit dummers playing french songs....I need some help man, my empire is going chaos!!

Totally agree, the instructions are confusing. I get tired reading them, which is bad considering it beeing an excellent mod. So please, detailed step by step instructions so that we get to try this excellent mod. Thank you!

The order should be

Drummer_2.43UK
Bugler_France (If the french music is in bugler/cornet format)
Drummer 2.3
French mus.
Engl. Mus.

If you have any others activated then the system will cross reference wrongly.
You should only have one bugler patch and one drummer patch activated at one time. The drummer patch is currently the Drummer 2.43 UK only
and the Bugler_France is the bugler patch.

In this order you should ONLY have access to the drummers in the UK and ONLY have access to the Buglers in France.

This should fix it.


A drummer patch will counter the drummer part of 2.3
the bugler patch will counter the bugler part of 2.3
The UK 2.43 is a stand alone and should be only loaded last.
The order is inverted; top is last, bottom is first

Tell me how it goes.

Currently Working On Hornblower Modification for ETW. Will bring out next version of Drummer when I have access to picture tools.

[Rsty Bloodnok]

The Uk 2.43 dosen't work unless to be loaded first. i don't think the Frech music is in cornet/bigler format since the music only work with drummers,

It's kidda confusing that the music packs already contain dummer regiments so I don't need v2.3 to get a drummer regement. even with the v2.3, notting is really different, just the bigger number, that's all

So does it mean i have to edit the the music pack in order to get specific faction music?

[Rsty Bloodnok]

I do not know the pack itself, I would think so, but if the french pack is already in bugler form then it does not have to be converted. I remember I made a french pack for Graham that did not require the french bugler patch. I'll find it, so you do not have to modify it.

Hey Rustty,

I've got it working!!

After nights of confusion i finally figured it out based on your instructions. The French pack was in Snare format so i changed it (that was the problem). I also changed the "fire" command to "run" instead since they never fire but usually run most of the time. I have one question, is there any command specificly for the flurtists?

Overall i think there are too many mods to be download so that cause confusion. First i thought the later version mods were patches to get 2 music running at a time, but those were just newer regiments, that's where i misunderstood. Good mods but very bad instructions!! LOL Anyways thnk you for your help

[Rsty Bloodnok]

Hey Victor. I would not reccomend using run. but would reccomend using Guard. That way, they stand still, finish one piece, then you click the guard, andd they start playing again. Much more effective!

I understand. I have been trying to clarify it for ages without result. If only I could make complex instructions easy to understand. (maybe if I translate it into latin???)

Flutists never work. It is because they have them on ship. I tried to make it work so that the flutist would be able to play jigs whilst onboard a boat but it won't work.
the reason why I set the -no drummer- component to flutist was because it did not work hence removing the sound easily.

Anyway, Glad to hear it all works! best of luck.

Rusty.

A Message to state that Work is continuing.


A thought Has Passed through

Do members prefer the standard drummers for the french, or would they prefur to Use the Lancer model, due to the similarities that they have with the Napoleonic style of Uniform (all apart from the Square shako)

[Rsty Bloodnok]
