Major Features

Crazy stuff can be deactivated in the reward menu.
(Ce Mod est aussi francophone)

----------------------------------- Installation ----------------------------------
1) Delete any previous version of the NHCmod
2) Execute and follow the instruction of the installer
3) Just Click on the shortcut created on your desktop to play the mod!
4) Do not forget to choose what units you want to activate/deactivate in the reward menu

Advice: It is recommended to defrag your Disk after installation for better performance.
From time to time, it would be useful to clear the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\My documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\LogFiles

For old CD/DVD users:
If the .bat does not work for unknown reason try to create your own shortcut:
- Create a shortcut of relicCOH.exe- Right-click on the shortcut and go to "Properies"
- In the Shortcut tab change the Target line by adding the following command after the brackets:
"-mod NHCTOV -dev" (without the brackets)
ex: "C:\program files\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCoH.exe" - mod NHCTOV -dev
- Use this shortcut to start the mod

uninstallation: just click on the uninstaller

If you have the error message "Game is not being run as a known company of heroes product. try again by launching from steam" :
It may be because you have an antivirus that prevent the bat files to run the command "RelicCOH.exe -mod NHCToV -dev".
To go around that, make sure the mod was installed in the right folder, on the launching options from steam,
In library > on the left menu of your game list, right-click on company of heroes > property > general > define launching option you can add the command
-mod NHCToV -dev
or
-mod Combiner_Beta -dev for the combiner
This would run the mod. You would have to remove that command for running other mods.

If the game crashes with a report to Relic before getting to the main menu. It means that there is a conflict with another mod.
The easiest way to solve it is to delete the other mods. The other is to find the .ucs in the folders:
CoH\Locale\English
CoH\Engine\Locale\English
RelicOnline\Locale\English
that is not made by Relic (i.e. by the bad mod) and move it apart.

DISCLAIMER about the combiner for EF 3.4 : Something is wrong with EF AI for the British faction. You can play with it but when playing against it, it is a sore loser and can crash when it is sure to lose. If that happens, just pause the game with "F10" or "PAUSE" and then come back to finish the game. I won't fix EF codes.

EF 3.4 Combiner
===============
- Now compatible with EF 3.4
- Had to rewrite ai_ext of EF abilities and sbps of problematic EF codes
- Something still seems fishy in EF AI codes, British AI can crash in the AI_Think_Purchases function in end games when you are sure to win. When the AI is sure to lose, it sometimes gives a "FATAL AI ERROR" like a sore loser. You can consider that as surrender proposal. You can still play despite that. Just pause the game with "F10" or "Pause" and then come back to continue the game.
