(Steel Fury) Hi everyone, a new mission!

[Kyth]

Hello!

I have produced something new with the Mission Editor, what I term as a Gentle Introduction to the Steel Fury game.
Of course, by "gentle", I mean, once in a while, you can survive to the end!

Kyth Mission 1
In this semi-historical scenario, the Red Army has pulled off a nasty surprise with their initial Spring Offensive in the Kharkov area.
Elements of the 3rd Panzer division (that's you) have to deal with the developing situation, which can only be described as 'a ghastly mess'.

You can download the mission here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/4lF8khES/KythMission01.html

As always, you will need to add a new line to the user_camp.engcfg file:
New_KY_01, txt_mc_mymission_1, 1, 0, Back_KY01.tga,
txt_cit_02, 20, txt_history_tky_1, hist_map_teach, levels\levels\cm_users\New_KY_01.level;

Have Fun!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now, here's another mission, following on from the first one.

Kyth Mission 2
Your kampfgruppe has to reopen the supply lines to your beleaguered front-line defenders. Dark and stormy night, rain falling in torrents, enemy strongpoint to be captured! Your quick thinking and skill could spell the difference between victory and defeat...

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Hbtk24rNEPw/TOaTqc_TUsI/AAAAAAAAAEM/cTxAPEql-44/s800/shot_2010_11_02_00_04_38_0001.jpg

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the 3rd mission, which follows on after the events in mission 2:

Kyth Mission 3

The encircled defenders have hung on grimly for the past 2 days, throwing back repeated assaults on their positions.
Now, can they hold on for much longer? ... Make sure that they do!

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Hbtk24rNEPw/TPpKEkOCzuI/AAAAAAAAAFI/N1EPjPjZ6So/s800/shot_2010_12_04_00_11_08_0001.jpg

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the 4th mission, which follows the events of mission 3:

Kyth Mission 4

The enemy is planning another of their pre-dawn attacks. Your kampfgruppe's task is to launch a pre-dawn attack on the pre-
dawn attackers!
Just don't let them pre-empt your pre-emptive strike...

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Hbtk24rNEPw/TQ18ALbxCWI/AAAAAAAAAFY/MkFdTWDiIpo/s800/shot_2010_11_27_22_39_51_0002.jpg

Be careful with this one, there's a lot of maneuvering!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's another one! Mission 5 follows on after the events of Mission 4.

Kyth Mission 5

Your kampfgruppe is to make a quick strike on the enemy positions, Over the River and Through the Woods. Drill them full of
Lead!

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Hbtk24rNEPw/TSc6cAtyQtI/AAAAAAAAAHc/FxsI8l5NCKg/s800/shot_2010_12_18_18_23_08_0000.jpg

A little tip! When ordering your platoon across the river, set the formation to 'none'. Unless you'd like some of them to end up in the river.

Have fun!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope everyone can keep it going, for the next mission:

Kyth Mission 6

As your Kampfgruppe maneuvers for its breakout, keep a close watch on the horizon... The Russians are not finished yet...

Some advice for this mission: Take care of your poor bloody infantry... that means 'taking care' of the enemy's infantry!

Good luck!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Mission 6, of course, comes Mission 7...

Kyth Mission 7

The enemy's retreat route rapidly becomes a 'Mud-way of Death'! Make sure it's not actually your own...

I hope you can handle this next mission!

Kyth Mission 8
Noisy battles break out all along the river! You are there to ensure that tactical skill and good shooting, keep the enemy well and truly clobbered.

Good afternoon / Good evening / Good night!

Speaking of which, here's the next mission (a night mission :rock:):

Kyth Mission 10
The recent counterattack has resulted in the encirclement of a Rather Large enemy force. However, they will require a lot of
"convincing" to actually stay captured... Elements of 3rd Panzer (you again) are on the scene!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_Hbtk24rNEPw/TaiFc_PO3OI/AAAAAAAAARw/dPF0TPuVLdo/s800/shot_2011_04_04_00_21_27_0003.jpg

[FIREWALL]

I will try SF out if theres a demo and buy it if I like it and, I'm easy if it's good. :DL I don't buy just on reviews and trailers anymore.

[frinik]

Good stuff Kyth looking forward to trying it!:up:


Are you the one who asked for my '' battles ' on the Graviteam forum???

Will let you know about your mission once I try it!

Cheeers:salute:

[frinik]

Firewall we ain't selling anything here! .There is a Steel Fury demo which you can find and download from most of of the gamers review sites.Just google it you'll find at least 20 such sites.It only features the first Soviet T34 mission.You can purchase the game for 10 euros or $ 15 so you're unlikely to be ripped off anyway.

Hi Frinik,

Yes, that's me! Check out your PM on the forum.:salute:

Thanks!

[Sledgehammer427]

Kyth, If you don't mind, I'll add this to the Steel Fury Mods and Resources thread :up:

[Kyth]

No problem, Sledgehammer! :sunny:

And to everyone trying out the mission, please let me know how it went!

[frinik]

Kyth my Man I have played your mission and it's terrific! An earth-jarring artillery barrage to start the game( just a little footnote players are advised not to open their gunsights at the beginning of the game until you leave the village otherwise you'll get lots of broken gun sights at the start of game.|This happened to me twice.|My tank was hit and by the time I got to the blocking position my gunsights looked like Tiffany stained glass lamp). Good use of the Bereka map and good , solidd action.|excellent first try |Kyth you really have the knack for it.

The only problem and this is why I don't favour those mission successful or failed triggers. I was unable to finish the mission successfully.The first try I know was my fault because I went a little bit off the blocking point to get a better shooting position.|I took out all the 9 Sov tanks and then when I arrived at the bridge to stop the main attack I got a mission failed message.

the second time I faithfully followed the messages and bagged 18 tanks and 84 infantry but still got the mission failed message????The 3rd time I destroyed 16 enemy tanks( despite having a shattered gun sight) but I was taken out by the last surviving T34.

Very good atmosphere, the weather gloomy and drizzly is wonderful and creates a very real difficult factor for the player as you have to spot the enemy before they spot you.

My suggestion would simply be to make the mission triggers a bit more loose as to give the player wider latitude and avoid mission failed despite virtually destroying the entire opposing force.

My advice Kyth! Make more because you really have the knack for it.:up:

|I haven't fogotten my own missions and will email you my best 1.4, unoff 1.5 and beta 1.5 ones with some basic briefing.

Thanks again Panzer :shucks:Kommandant

Cheers:salute:

[Kyth]

Hi Frinik,

Thanks for your comments!

Now, without giving too much away:

As you described, I attempted to simulate a 2-prong attack by the Russians. The supply centre in the village is their main target! Once they overrun the village, it's game over! This represents the HQ and rear supply units being destroyed or scattered.

I also built in some play-balance factors into the opposing forces ( 1= easiest, 10 = hardest / impossible ) and I've only ever tried playing it at level '5'.

Please keep trying! :)

[frinik]

I always play at max 10 .The tougher the better.Wair until you play my battles.You ll know what suffering is:D

Dont worry I ll plqy until I win I am competitive by nature..:salute:

[Kyth]

Hello!

Here's another mission, following on from the first one.

Kyth Mission 2
Your kampfgruppe has to reopen the supply lines to your beleaguered front-line defenders. Dark and stormy night, rain falling in torrents, enemy strongpoint to be captured! Your quick thinking and skill could spell the difference between victory and defeat...

Good hunting!

[frinik]

Mission downloaded and installed Kyth, CONGRATS.It's not an easy one:woot: Without markers at night and with rain or drizzle.....

Killed the uglies easily but the rest of the mission did not go down so well.Got lost somehow and ended up a victim of friendly fire as one of my wingmen shot me trying to get at a Sov tank.

I am no longer used to playing with the Panzer III so I am always surprised when the shots come out so weak:)

Good, solid mission but playing it without markers nor flares is a uphill struggle.Any mission with the Panzer IVF2 in the planning?

Keep making more and thanks!:up:

Cheers

[Kyth]

Hi Frinik,

Thanks for the comments! Yes I have some missions planned for the PzIVF2, but they are a long way to go.

So, there's still a need to put up with the PzIII. :D

Hope you don't mind!

[frinik]

Fair enough Kyth!Good mission , a worthy sequel to Kyth01 I enjoyed it and will play it again today - time and family permitting .

BTW speaking of Kyth01 did you ever think of putting a couple of PaK38 or 40 in the village where the German trucks are sitting to delay the main Sov attack and give the player and his fellow tanks a bit more time to move there and prevent the main Sov attack from crossing the bridge/river

Re Panzer III ;it's Ok I like it as a small brother to the Panzer IVF2:D

Just out of curiosity what other games/sims do you play?

Cheers:salute:

[Kyth]

Hi Frinik,

At the lower levels of difficulty, I have given the player an extra squad and / or a platoon of Pz II in the village, to delay the Soviets a little. At the higher levels of difficulty, I hope I built in some tactical decision-making, whether to finish dealing with the 'diversion' or to move out and head off the 'main force'.

About my games!
I've played 'IL-2 Sturmovik' and its many sequels for a couple of years. All off-line. Before that was 'Red Baron 3D'
I also recall playing 2 tank sims, 'Panzer Elite' and 'Panzer Commander', which in some ways, esp. their campaigns, have not yet been surpassed by newer sims. :-?

Wargaming: Spent a lot of time on the "Combat Mission" and "Close Combat" series, and before that was 'Steel Panthers'.

Other games still residing on my hard drive are 'Civilization III' and 'Commandos 2'. (Yes, these are not the latest 'versions')

Things I look forward to trying, when time permits, are 'Panzer Command Kharkov' and 'Achtung Panzer Kharkov 1943'
Do you see a pattern there?? :D

Regards,

[frinik]

Do I see a pattern:hmmm:

Yes ! You like computers!!!:D

I also play Panzer Elite with PE 3( I agree its the mother of all modern tank sims and unequalled in many respects) Gamesand TvsT with ZeeWolf's mods.

Never played Panzer Commander although I have the demo of the game.

I have Blitzkrieg II , Soldiers Heroes of WWII and Codename Panzers Phase I, II, II and Cold War.I have IL2 but it's my 2 young sons who love that game and play it( 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 years old if you can believe it)

Do you see a pattern in my tastes??? Well not so fast cause I love Need for Speed in its various incarnations just to relax after wrecking so much armour.

Cheers

PS I have a mission to email you a real blast so-to-speak

[Kyth]

Hi Frinik,

Did you finally manage to ace the mission? Don't know whether it's possible or not, it is called 'impossible' for a reason,

Anyway, that would be the signal to unleash the 3rd one on the world :D

[frinik]

Hi Kyth! NO lack of time, social and family obligations prevented me frorm having that pleasure.However, rest assured that impossible does not exist in my dictionary.I shall tackle and succeed and take a snapshot to prove it!:shucks:

Please release the next mission.

Cheers

Frinik

[Kyth]

Hi!

Here's the 3rd mission, which follows on after the events in mission 2:

Kyth Mission 3

The encircled defenders have hung on grimly for the past 2 days, throwing back repeated assaults on their positions.
Now, can they hold on for much longer? ... Make sure that they do!

Thanks, and have fun!

[frinik]

Great n ews Kyth and thanks! Still haven´t won your second mission....Either victim of friendly fire or just too many damned KVs .It goives a good idea of the quandary that faced the Panzerwaffe in summer and autumn 1941.

Just downloaded your 3rd will try it out asap and report.

Cheers:salute:

[Kyth]

Hi Frinik,

You may want to try a tactic which may be historical, that is to shoot out the enemy's guns if they are close enough,

The darkness and cover work in favour of the little Panzer III's, so sneak in close and blast away!

[Kyth]

Hello again!

Here's the 4th mission, which follows the events of mission 3:

Kyth Mission 4

The enemy is planning another of their pre-dawn attacks. Your kampfgruppe's task is to launch a pre-dawn attack on the pre-
dawn attackers!
Just don't let them pre-empt your pre-emptive strike...

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Hbtk24rNEPw/TQ18ALbxCWI/AAAAAAAAAFY/MkFdTWDiIpo/s800/shot_2010_11_27_22_39_51_0002.jpg

Be careful with this one, there's a lot of maneuvering!

[Kyth]

Hi,

Time to take stock of the situation. :woot:

I hope I have addressed some of the shortfall in Steel Fury, that is, lack of missions / campaigns for the overlooked and underrated Panzer III, and the tactical possibilities of unfavourable lighting and weather.

Is it a good idea to continue in this vein? Comments are welcome! :shucks:

[frinik]

Hi Kyth!As I said in my post to you on the Graviteam forum you're doing a very good job.You're good at making them don't waste your talent by not making more! I say go ahead and give us A LOT MORE MY MAN:yeah:.

Just add a little variety on the German side re tanks and apcs.

We want bread and games!

Cheers

[Kyth]

Hi,

Thanks for the vote of confidence :D

And don't worry, we will find a way to get you the Panzer IV in this campaign, as soon as it can fit into the 'storyline'. As you can see, there is a sequence of events here in the little Panzer III before the bigger stuff shows up... :gulp:

No way I will put anyone in a Panzer II in these missions, they would be very short indeed...

[frinik]

Kyth I meant the Panzer II C in a support role not necessarily as the player´s tank. Also it depends you can always make missions with light SOv tanks the T60s, BT5 and 10 , infantry, mgs and ligh AT guns against Panzer IIs, IIIs, APCs etc....

The Panzer II is quite good against infantry, MG nests and light tanks.

Anyway whatever you make :salute:I take!

[Kyth]

Okay, point taken :D

The thing about variety is, it's not always visible, being somewhere else on the battlefield.

Too bad there's no playback feature ;like there is in IL-2. Then I could post a compilation video of 'My Greatest Battles' or something :rock:

[frinik]

We 're thinking along the same lines.I really lament the fact that you cannot make a video of one's favorite missions....Some real intense moments that you'd love to share with others on Youtube!

Unless you put videocam next to you or get a volunteer to stand behind you and shoot it while you shoot tanks...:D

Speaking of cam do you have the free cam mod installed Kyth? I have it and despite follozing the instructions I have never been able to make it work!!Any tip?

[Kyth]

Hmm about the free cam I remember Rends had a question about it too. There's some useful information here:

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3071390/Stel_fury_Free_cam_mod_doesn_t.html#Post3071390

I'm not sure if he got it working after that,

:lurk:

[frinik]

Got it working and even tried to ma ke a video as that option is included with the mod but didn´t work.I´ll try again and if it wokrs will let you know.

[Kyth]

Hi Frinik,

Glad you got it working
Don't think the 'video recording' feature works, I've tried it myself.

I think I read the same thing confirmed by Andrey on the Sukhoi.ru forum, so I guess that's it. :down:

You could try using FRAPS, it will record whatever's displayed on the screen, nothing fancy, :dead:

[frinik]

Thanks Kyth thought of FRAPS but I have no idea on how to proceed.How do I go about doing it?:hmmm:

[Kyth]

From what I remember:

You first have to set FRAPS to run in the background. It's started up like any other program or utility.

There's a hot-key setting to start / stop video recording, for instance, using the 'Scroll' or 'Pause' key.

You can use this hot-key while you're playing any game, there's a number displaying the frame-rate in the corner, which changes from yellow to red, to indicate recording.

A word of caution, the filesizes of those recorded videos are huge, because they are in an uncompressed video format.

[Kyth]

By the way, is everyone in favour of some more missions? :D

[frinik]

Kyth I'll answer your question with 3 of my own:

1) Is the pope catholic?

2) Would I turn down a pay raise?

3)Would I refuse the lottery jackpot?

:yeah:

Count me in for some more....

[Kyth]

Here's another one! Mission 5 follows on after the events of Mission 4.

[Kyth]

By the way, if the latest mission's too easy, please let me know.

I consistently sailed through (at difficulty level 5). That's a bit worrying :hmmm:

What do you guys think?

[ontos]

Sorry if I sound totally ignorant reference adding user made missions. I haven't played SF for sometime, I have only played the installed missions , well I did add the Steel Panzer mod. I want to get back into the game :yeah:

Anyway could you tell me what "user_camp.engcfg file:" is and where I go to install :oops: I've tried to install missions before and it was really confusing, I think it was the "Afrika" mission. Thanx

[frinik]

Ontos there's no mystery; in your game's main folder you'll see a sub folder called data.Open it and then you''ll get another one called loc_42 , open it and then you''get another one called loc_rus, then you''l see levels whic you open leading to yet another one called LEVELS which in turn s leads to many subfolders the one on top of the list is called camp click on it and you 'll see several ENCFG folders.Open the camp_user file one with either notepad or microsoft word( I prefer notepad).\you'll see all the text lines used for the various missions in the game.Just paste Kyth's - or whoever 's - lines that need to be addedat the end of that list and save them.Of course you still have to instal and extract into your mods folder his mission zip file and you're in business.Pretty much all user-made missions follow that pattern.

Hope my explanations are crystal clear?

Cheers:salute:

[Kyth]

Hi Ontos!

I think I'll include this guide in my next 'edition' :D :

The quickest way to install my missions is using 'JSGME' (Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler), same as the installation of the Steel Panzer mod.

For example, Mission 1 is contained in the downloaded file, 'Kythmission01.rar'.

Extract the 'Kythmission01.rar' file to the 'MODS' folder. (I use WinRAR to do this)
The new 'mod' should show up in the 'available mods', and can be activated:

Just add in an extra line at the bottom:

It's possible you don't have any user_camp.engcfg file! In that case, please rename my 2 backup files, 'user_camp_list.txt' and 'user_camp.txt', to 'user_camp_list.engcfg' and 'user_camp.engcfg'.
If you are comfortable with moving folders and files, the following 'tree' should give you an idea where all the files for each mission should be:

Hope this helps! :zzz:

Thanks guys, that helps me allot. I will download your missions tomorrow, you learn something new every day :DL I'm still learning the different position in the vehicles, lot to learn :oops:

[frinik]

Hi Kyth I finally managed to play your mission number 5! For some reasons I couldn't get it to work on my pc but it went fine on my laptop!

Another tough nut to crack.Too tough for a couple of reasons:

I ran out of bullets, my wingmen either drowned in the river or got themselves killed.

I managed to kill the AT guns all by myself destroy the wave or counterattcking tanks and infantry but I was unable to complete the last leg and take the village because I was out of bullets, no wingmen left and no infantry support to deal with the infantry in the village.I played it 5 times and definitelyGerman infantry is needed.

I would suggest adding German infantry ( pz grenadier) to thta mission because frankly having to deal with AT guns and infantry attacks for a few panzer III without infantry support is a bit too much.Not to mention that it goes against standard military doctrine .

I will do that and see how it goes. I may add a couple of stugs as they provide artillery support to the infantry and can deal effectively with the AT guns.I'll reprort to you

Good mission and thanks again.My comments are meant to be positive criticism not destructive.I knoe th amount of work and time that goes into making a mission.

Kyth where are the fog/mist/rain and clouds?:D

[Kyth]

Hi Frinik,

There's one Panzergrenadier platoon in the mission to help out with the village, or rather, you should help them, :DL

Set the 'formation' of your platoon to 'none' when crossing the river, I'm sad to say the AI isn't very smart regarding this.

As for the weather, let's just say, it took a turn for the worse... and you can expect more such 'bad weather' for the next couple of missions :D

[ontos]

Hey Kyth, thanks for the info on how to load your missions. I downloaded mission 1, and it worked great, but sometimes my main gun seems to have a mind of it's own, it rotates on it's own when I try to pick a target. I found this problem even with the missions in the original down load. Something I must have done wrong somewhere :oops: Great mission, going to download 2 tonight :yeah:

[Kyth]

Greetings!

I hope everyone can keep it going, for the next mission:

Kyth Mission 6

As your Kampfgruppe maneuvers for its breakout, keep a close watch on the horizon... The Russians are not finished yet...

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Hbtk24rNEPw/TTvTMcKiIgI/AAAAAAAAAIU/JF-ODQ9bqbY/s800/Back_KY06.jpg

Please download the mission here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/a-NMMvxs/KythMission06.html

And add in this line to the 'user_camp.engcfg' file:
New_KY_06, txt_mc_mymission_6, 1, 0, Back_KY06.tga, txt_cit_02, 20, txt_history_tky_1, hist_map_teach, levels\levels\cm_users\New_KY_06.level;

Some advice for this mission: Take care of your poor bloody infantry... that means 'taking care' of the enemy's infantry!

Good luck!

[Kyth]

Hi everyone,

I wonder if you find the latest mission too easy? What do you think? :ping:

[frinik]

Kyth to my shame I must admit I haven't played it yet! I'll do it this weekend and report.Promised or you can repossess my Panzer III:D

Cheers:salute:

[Kyth]

:DL

Frinik,

No worries! It's not an occupation :D

Regards,

[Kyth]

Hello everyone,

After Mission 6, of course, comes Mission 7...

Kyth Mission 7

The enemy's retreat route rapidly becomes a 'Mud-way of Death'! Make sure it's not actually your own...

If you're interested, please download the mission here:

Hi everyone,

I've discovered a rather bad bug relating to Mission 6 ("Battle of the Flea-bitten Village"). No, they're not fleas, it's regarding the Panzergrenadiers. Those guys may not budge from their starting positions! Since one of the mission objectives is to keep them alive, this makes the mission unexpectedly easy!! :(

I discovered this when trying out a fresh install of SF - it turns out I've fixed this bug before, then forgot all about it, it's to do with the 'apcg_places.engcfg' file, and the fix can be downloaded here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/_w2YamU4/Sk250c10fix.html

I've also updated the 'KythMission06' file to include this fix. So you all can now enjoy a more difficult time! :rock:

Good afternoon / Good evening / Good night!

Speaking of which, here's the next mission (a night mission :rock:):

The recent counterattack has resulted in the encirclement of a Rather Large enemy force. However, they will require a lot of
