Here is the promised Christmas 2011 version of NHCmod! Contains and a combiner for EF 1.510 Company of Heroes or Opposing Front or Tales of Valor patched to 2.602 required. A patch for the combiner that allows you to play with EF 1.6.0.1 is available.
Here is the promised Christmas 2011 version of NHCmod!
This version is a little bit different from what we have initially planned. We have included 2 mini modes in victory conditions.
a "Infantry Only Mode" where you have only infantry units available (not even the jeep is available!)
and an "Early War Mode" where you can also have light vehicles like halftracks and light tanks. (Scroll down with your mouse to select in which mode you want to play, Quick start mode and Annihilation are still there!)
All known bugs from the combiner and the previous version have been fixed.
----------------------------------- 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 chose what units you want to activate/deactivate in the reward menu
edit:
5) Download and install the patch for the combiner 1.5.2.0 from Moddb.com
New Units:
- M15A1 Halftrack available in US Motor Pool.
- Sturmpanzer IV available to PE Scorched Earth.
- Baker and Able squad added to Airborne Company.
Trenches are now repairable from inside only and we have receive the permission from blackbishop to make dead bodies stays. We have added a new map specially designed for infantry combat and another special map for airwarfare. (Unfortunately it is not the finished version because I have lost contact with our mapper.)
The combiner is an add-on that allows you to play with the Eastern Front mod in single player only.
The Eastern Front mod is available here:
Moddb.com
(It is a very big mod so it is highly recommended to defrag your disk after installation)
If you don't have both mod, the game will crash. Note that you must install and update your Eastern Front to 1.510
To start the combiner mod, click on the shortcut on your desktop or on "Combiner.bat" in your "Company of Heroes" folder. It will automatically load both mod and mix them.
NHCmod also supports the maps of Joint Ops mod which can be downloaded here:
Strategyinformer.com (with installer)
Gamefront.com (without installer)
BONUS: Another add-on is available for the NHCmod. You can have german voices for Whermacht and PE and English for US and Commonwealth.
How to do that?
===============
Simply download all the files from here:
Forums.relicnews.com(v2.601-compatible)
and put them in the "NHCToV" folder. The mod will automatically load them.
If the forum is down, here are the links for the needed files:
Gamefront.com (German voices for Wehrmacht)
Gamefront.com (German voices for PE and English voices for Brits part1)
Megaupload.com (German voices for PE and English voices for Brits part2)
Gamefront.com (English voices for US Skirmish)

(It is recommended to defrag your disk after installation)
Enjoy!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Nice Christmas present for us, Thanks a lot!
combiner for EF 1.501? the latest version is 1.510? right?
Thanks for noticing the typo. It is indeed for the latest version of EF.
thank you ab2531 for your quick update on this mod:)
I have a minor complaint: When playing in the infantry only mode my PE opponent was able to build scout cars and kettenkrads, thought they were easy to counter, it still bothered me and messed-up my strategy. Note: I was playing on the infantry map and my other opponent (a American) could not build light vehicles, both opponents were CPU's
I had let the scout car to PE because they cannot secure resources otherwise and the kettenkrad is unarmed. Playing PE in infantry only mode is much harder since they don't have mortars or MG or snipers by default.
Nevermind
My previous comment was before what you wrote registered in my head
Great Mod. But why are dead bodies still disapear? It doesn't stay. Is there any solution? Really like the dead corpses stay on the battlefield

Also, I have a few more questions/requests. Starting with: May you add the M46 Patton for the Armor Company in the next update? I think it would help balance out against the heavier German tanks. Also, why a Firefly Ace and not a Churchill Ace? The Firefly Ace may be more maneuverable, but is weak in armor, plus, a Churchill Ace could have a 17 lb or 75mm gun, flamethrowers, and AVRE capabilities. Finally, is it possible to modify the Panzerkrieg (as a second type of Panzerkrieg) into a type where you use light tanks and armored cars. With the heaviest vehicle being a Stuart or something like that.
1) I dont think there is a M36 Patton model for COH.
2) A Churchill with a 17pdr is called the Black Prince Military.wikia.com
3) Why would I build a Panzerkrieg for light vehicles? (if I had the option)
Thank you so much for this...but why did you take the normal way to play from the game...? i mean i cannot play without victory points with full units...only Ionly mode and Early War mode :( why did you take the other one :""(
Merry Christmas
It is downside! use the wheel of your mouse.
Merry Christmas, thank you for this present.
than you for adding the maus! love it! it is the first mod i see that has the maus in it! many thanks mate :P

i think that a model for the m36 patton is in blitzkrieg mod if im not wrong...
Yes and No, the M36 exists and it is the M36 Jackson. NHCmod use the M36B1. Patton tanks are M46, M47 and M60 which were made after WW2.
is the bug , soviet tanks can be destroyed by machine gun and flamethrowers fixed?
PLEASE, read the README.
I'm having a really frustrating bug. Whenever I move my camera in my territory, the game lags very badly. When I don't move it or am looking at an area I haven't explored yet everything runs smoothly. I've lowered all my video settings to the lowest possible option and I'm still having this problem.
Another bug I have is whenever I play as PE, the buildings are extremely low-res and the game crashes whenever I build their panzer command.
That's strange. The crash thing has never happened to me.
I don't know what's up with the bug, I defrag'd and verified my game cache twice. I might reinstall it later and try again.
my friend had graphic problems too(crashes in many mods)
he has a nvidia gtx 490
he had the game on mid graphic running -> setting his graphics to high was the solution for his crashes maybe try to set your graphic higher instead of lowering
I really don't know what could cause crash or the low-res PE buildings. I would like to help you but I really don't know what would be the cause of your troubles. Did you install some additional skins for PE?
Nope, haven't touched anything at all. I installed EF 1.51 and it ran just fine, no bugs like this. I'm reinstalling now.
Does the bug also appears when playing on the mod only and not the combiner?
Hey, I got it to work after building a new computer. I think it was some dated hardware in the old one that was messing things up. Great mod!
Sorry to ask this but when i play against easy AI (only tried against US) even if i uncheck the units they can still build them and it seems more like INSANE AI instead like in seconds they have tanks and wipeout all of my units...i remember something you said that they cheat...if i play against Normal AI this won´t happen?? or the american retards will be always cheaters (lol like in real life)...?
Thanks :P
They will always be cheaters. Easy AI cheats less that's all.
Great Mod. But why are dead bodies still disapear? It doesn't stay.
Only part of dead bodies can stays. Sniped soldiers don't stay wounded soldiers disappears.
eh..but none of the dead bodies stay when i m gaming..
Did you put the graphics on very low?
No, Very high I think.
Are you sure you are playing on my mod?
The battlefield should turn like this Moddb.com in the end.
Yes I m pretty sure i m playing ur mod.. It's NHCmod 2.602b..Should I low down the grapics?
I don't know it is the first time that someone reported me this kind of bug.
Will the stayed dead bodies increase by lowing down the graphics?
No idea. I can't play in high or ultra.
Im sure the cmd text that appears everytime you start the game cleary states that "DO NOT PLAY IN HIGH OR ULTRA SETTINGS"
Yo I just downloaded the updated version of the NHC mod and called in the German helicopter twice and on the second time the game just crashed on me. Any Ideas?
I need help regarding this mod.. NHCMod v2.602b.. Why isnt there any tanks? Fireflies, Shermans, nothing! Only light vehicles in both Infantry only and early war mode.. Is it really like this? Why dont I have tanks? Please reply back because im very desperate to play this properly. I have played several mods for COH. I created an account just to figure out the issue. Thanks!
Oh, and BTW.. This issue is in both the combiner and the NHCmod itself.
Stop playing in Infantry mode only. Choose the mode in the victory conditions!
Use the wheel of the mouse to choose for example Quick start mode.
Oh.. Thank you.. Sorry for my stupidity.. I never tried scrolling down.. :)
No problem, you are not the only one. I will put a note on the launcher for the next version.
can you upload link download in moddb ? i can't download form gamefront :(
Use the link above. Retry if necessary.
