Ok DAK. I have finished the installer. No action required from user. Installer graphics changed to GTC as well. All working and uploading tonite. If you have any fixes just send me the files and I will redo the installer.

Thanks for the mode. But u.s. uniforms do not seem right. Brown helmet, soft green shirt, dark green pants. So, is that due to uniform.txt? I hope it gets fixed. Anyway, it is nice to have pitf as bonus to gtc...

I found the problem with uniforms.txt. In the original uniforms.txt of GTC there is an additional "sprite shadow color" value at the beginning. GTC Engine looks for it first, therefore colors are shifted and "funny uniforms". If you add it to the beginning of uniforms.txt for PITF mod, everything alright.

Was there a fix for this to use it with the Steam version of GtC?

*EDIT*
I replaced the Steam.api in Gateway to Caen's folder with the compatibility fix version that enables the Road to Crimea mod. I can get to the main menu but if I then try to open scenarios I get a crash and a wrong version error. It was worth a try though right? Wink

Is this even legal?; is there modifications to the game, or is this an exact duplicate?.

What is the point of this mod? I dont get it.

This mod installs Panthers in the Fog onto your Gateway to Caen installation...why would you do that?

The mod effectively converts GtC into PITF. So you can play with US units in the Battles/OPS/Campaings from PITF. You need to start the mod from a shortcut in the mod folder though.

Has anyone also noticed the Germans have US voices, regardless of language setting?

What do you mean by "patched"? - except the voices you mention.

The German voice file you can copy-paste from the GtC files if it is missing in the mod.

Hi thanks for the reply.

There is a more recent patch available for PITF for you need a series code to install it. Given the mod isnt a purchase, I have no serial code and therefore cant upgrade to the most recent patch.

Could you advise which German voice file Id be looking for, location and where to move it to?

Thanks again.

There is no practical way to apply the Matrix patches to this mod - except purchasing PITF game, thus the patch, apply the patch and then transfer the updated files from the PITF install to the GTC Pitf-mod.

The German voices is located here> C:\Matrix Games\Close Combat Gateway to Caen\LOCALFX

The file you are looking for is named > GEVox.sfx

It needs to be moved to the Pitf mod folder within the > Matrix Games\Close Combat Gateway to Caen\Pitf-modfolder\LOCALFX

Thanks, I think this will still be a good game without the update, much appreciated.

Original close combat panthers in the fog work on close combat gateway to caen

Sorry but in my case nothing seems to be working.
I've got the STEAM version of GTC, so the game files are under the Steam subfolders.
So I unpacked the package there but ...

Please explain better what you are seeing in order for us to help. Is the game starting at all? Is it crashing when trying to play a battle?

It says "CCResourcedll.dat" not found .. ? normally it should be "CCResourcedll.dll", that's why it doesn't find the file .. so what? Obviously there's something I'm not doing right but I have placed the mod files under Steam\Steamapps\Common\Close combat - Gateway to Caen, directory where GTC is installed.
So I don't know.
Pity because PITF maps are so interestingly rich.

The CCResourcedll.dat is found within the PITF Steam version, but its not a part of GtC. Anyway I have found that the Steam edition of GtC will not use modfolders so I had to use JGSME mod-installer to install the PIFT mod on Steam: https://www.moddb.com/downloads/5-jsgme-modenabler. I used the CCResourcedll.dat from my original PITF Steam edition.

Oh, ok, very useful reply.
I'll try then, thanks.

Link is dead.
I downloaded the JSGME.whatever mod installer from another source anyway.
But, how to use it?
Ok, I activated the mod but using CCResourcedll.dat from PITF it says that there's a problem with the serial number entered and it doesn't work.
Could perhaps somebody owning the STEAM version of the game produce a detailed and TESTED procedure on how to properly install this otherwise interesting mod?
Thanks.

Good so you have JSGME downloaded.
This will be detailed - just make sure you follow everything precisely and the mod will work.

1. Follow the instructions in JSGME readme file and copy "JGSME.exe" and "JGSME.ini" files into your main game folder of Gateway to Caen in Steam.
2. Double click on the JGSME.exe file located in your main game folder of Gateway to Caen in Steam. Then close the JGSME program if neccessary. - Make sure that this operation results in a folder being created in the GtC mainfolder called "MODS".
3. Place the PIFT-mod folder into the "MODS" folder - should look like in the picture.
4. Run JSGME.exe and install the mod by using the arrow at the top of the interface.
5. Start GtC using you normal procedure and play the mod. - Just watch it so you dont attemt to start a battle that is made for GtC as these will still be in the list of available scenarios. It will crash the game.

Un-installing the mod is done by opening JGSME and using the arrow pointing in the oposite direction to the install arrow.

Hi.
I don't have the launchpanthersinthefog link but, since you stated to launch GTC instead, this should not be an issue.
I launch GTC and it states that it doesn't find the Resourcedll.dat file.
I'll try to import it from PITF but I'm not confident it will work.
In fact, with respect to the above description, the mod .exe file will create the PITF folder inside GTC main folder, with its own MODS folder in which it already saves its mod parameters.
Putting PITF inside the MODS folder will tell JSGME that there is another mod, which I have activated following the above suggestions with the results I have described (without the above .dat file your mod should also not be working ..).

"I don't have the launchpanthersinthefog link but, since you stated to launch GTC instead, this should not be an issue." - Its no issue - its just a shortcut that will not be used.

I dont have Resourcedll.dat from PITF anywhere in the GtC install now and the mod works for me.

Please post a screenshot of your file structure of the GtC install - Similar to the picture I posted.

I have attached a screenshot.
It's now the GoG version as I thought it would not yield the same issues as the STEAM one.
Instead, after messing with the windowed mode, the STEAM one ceased to work properly and I had to only rely on the GoG one.

To fix your Steam install of GtC - try to verify files with Steam.
Its harder to help you when you have changed platform to GOG after describing the problem existing in the Steam edition. I dont have the GOG version of the game, but the steps I gave should work.

You need to look at my post describing the procedure again because you have not followed the first steps correctly:

1. Follow the instructions in JSGME readme file and copy "JGSME.exe" and "JGSME.ini" files into your main game folder of Gateway to Caen in Steam.
2. Double click on the JGSME.exe file located in your main game folder of Gateway to Caen in Steam. Then close the JGSME program if neccessary. - Make sure that this operation results in a folder being created in the GtC mainfolder called "MODS".

You have not done this because there is no MODS folder and no JGSME.exe or JGSME.ini in your main GtC game folder.

Uff, it's difficult.
I have done all that you stated but it didn't work.
Then I installed the GoG version to see if I could make it work; you don't see the MODS folder since you asked me to show you the directory after the installation of the program, which I did; the installation of the GoG version resulted in messing up the game as the icons now are slightly smaller than they were when I was using the Steam's version and now I can't go back to Steam as there's something messed up in the windowed/full-screen mode since the game cycles through windows closing and opening but it always comes back to the initial screen without actually starting.
As it is, the mod is not working, the steps you told me for the Steam's version of the game seem not to work and, unfortunately for me, we're running in circles.
I'll try to fix it by myself when I'll find the time for doing so.
Thanks and regards.
