ATOMIC Efile [see 1st post]

[randowe]

With the upcomming Hel map there will be 80 maps in the 3K collection. The English Channel from London till Amsterdam and Southern Ukraine are best covered by maps whereas other large areas have not a single map. North Afrika from Tunisia till Port Said is also well covered but it is not shown on the map. The map below gives an overview over most 3K maps (Most of the are in Europe). Of course it is not true to scale:

[randowe]

So here is the plan for the near future. The next efile & campaigns updated is scheduled for January. It will contain the fully revised Blitzkrieg campaign and updated Weltkrieg campaign (Moscow scenario updated to big map). I think Dimitris will also have some scenarios of his Kriegsmarine campaign ready, so we'll include this as well. Then there will be the usual efile tweaks and some new units as always.

I also updated the map showing the 3K maps in the previous post. Albania and Moscow are new on the map.

My plans for next year are to revise and update the Weltkrieg campaign. I am also thinking about my next campaign, which will be about an German Infanterie-Divison. around 25 or 30 scenarios, only predefined 30 core units, no purchase, no protos. Horse-drawn artillery at the start. Time frame from Poland to Stalingrad.

[hoza]

great plans eager for the new Blitzkrieg. Wonder who will be first me ending the Weltkrieg or you finishing the Blitzkrieg?

[randowe]

I have almost two months for two scenarios, so lets see I'll also start with the Hel map soon. Don't know what i will finish first...
And i now have two jobs in the Lego forum

Hi -- apologies if this is noted elsewhere, but I did not find the information. I can't seem to find the Atomic Blitzkrieg or Weltkrieg campaigns in my OpenGen game, despite downloading an extracting the files directly from the dropbox link on here. (They used to be simply *in* my OpenGen game, but they seem to have disappeared at some point in the last few weeks or months.)

Welcome to the forum

Once you downloaded the rar file from dropbox you just have to put the ATOMIC_EFILE folder from the rar into the game's main folder, where the other efiles are. Every efile has its own folder.
If there is already an old folder of the Atomic efile you can delete the old one (maybe keep savegames if you wish).
Then, in the game select the Atomic equipment file.

[andrewmswift]

Hi -- thanks for the response! I did just that, and the folder is in the right place. When I boot up OpenGen, I see all the Atomic campaigns *except* for the Blitzkrieg or Weltkrieg ones (so, I do have access to the Allied Italian campaign, D-Day to Deutschland, etc).

I just downloaded and checked the files from dropbox again and everything works as it should be

Do you see the correct folders and efile version at the start screen in the game? (Of course folder can vary in your setup.)

[andrewmswift]

I do, yes. This is the e-file information upon login:

That works! I probably should have tried that method! Sorry about that, but thanks for your help!

My pleasure! Have fun with the campaigns

[randowe]

Here you can see the path for my the next campaign. I was torn between the infantry division campaign and a general German eastern front campaign.
But eventually i decided for the eastern front campaign because this time i wanted something with protos. The path will be more in line with history, so no capturing of Moscow, Baku, Arkhangelsk or Leningrad.
Around 19 scenarios i'll pull from Weltkrieg and modify as needed. The other scenarios will be new and mostly on new maps. There will 30 scenarios in the first version of the campaign and next winter, once the Viazma map is finished, there will be two more scenarios, bringing the overall number of scenarios to 32. The campaign will end with the evacuation of the player's troops from the Kuban Bridgehead in 1943.

The path is as follows:

New version of the efile has been uploaded to dropbox. You'll find the link in the first post of this thread.

Efile Version: 28th January 2024

- Kriegsmarine Campaign part I playable with 15 scenarios, by Dimitris
- Atomic Weltkrieg campaign updated with a new Moscow map and scenario
- Atomic Blitzkrieg fully revised and tested
- Few new icons added to the efile
- New units added to the efile (i am most happy that i finaly found info about Portugal's transports (Now the only country missing with correct info is Norway)
- Shout-out to hoza for playtesting our campaigns

[Szperacz]

Very nice! Should I restart the atomic blitzkrieg or it doesn't matter too much?

I'm currently in the first scenario with ships, in Norway probably. Looked scary so I went back to try to finish PG2 blitzkrieg and gather some courage.

You can continue your run! The changes in Blitzkrieg are more of a technical nature and i think players won't notice them at all. All scenarios intros have also been updated.

[Szperacz]

I failed at Narvik. Makes an impression of a puzzle with one solution (or I'm just too dense).
I'll check out Weltkrieg instead.

Actually i try to avoid puzzle scenarios and every scenario should be winable with different core and tactics.
But, yeah, Weltkrieg is the much more modern and much better campaign

[randowe]

I put together a historic Soviet campaign path as counterpart of the German Eastern Front campaign.

Started to convert 3 PBEM scenarios, so there is at least something to offer in this department. Kessler kindly allowed my to convert some of the Panzerliga scenarios. Dimitris and me already startet playing/testing the first one. The 3 scenarios will be:

- 1941 Battle of Moscow
- 1942 Battle of Tunis
- 1945 Battle of Tokyo
- 1942 Battle of Stalingrad
- tbd

[randowe]

Added a 3K map pack download link to the first post. The rar file has 286mb and contains 84 3K maps, all but 3 are 8-bit png maps.
One smaller map is also added that is needed to play the Weltkrieg campaign.

[randowe]

Currently reworking and finalizing the Weltkrieg campaign. Here's a list of the changes:

- set AI to 3.0
- proper Battle of Hel scenario replaces Scapa Flow Bonus scenario
- proto choice after Hel between captured Polish equipment: tank/artillery/recon
- 6 new scenarios
-- Albania 1939
-- Dnipro 1941
-- Case Blue 1942
-- Iraq 1943
-- 2x East Africa 1943
- number of scenarios will now be 80. 79 + one bonus scenario
- player also gets free Arabian Legion paratroopers in Iraq
- proper scenario outro texts
- some scenarios of the German-Soviet War will get outro pictures (German HQ situation maps) and historic information
- small tweaks to all other scenarios and texts

It has been so long since I downloaded anything , I have forgotten how to.
Do I have to create an an account in dropbox to DL these files? Is this the only way to DL Atomic efile.
Do I have to place all the new maps in the Map folder.
I miss the one DL for all the new additions

No Dropbox account is needed to download the files.
Yes, this is the only way to get the latest version of the efile.
No, you don't need to download the map pack, it is just for people who want to play with the original png maps. Or want the png maps as resources for map making. But jpg maps will be downloaded automatically when playing, like it always has been.
Which DL do you miss? You only need the efile download.

[Puma]

The DL asks me to continue with Google, Apple or email and they all require creating or logging into an account.

My old computer is just not playing OG and I guess I used to dl files on my work laptop, but now I'm retired I can't do that.
I will keep playing the old campaigns at this stage.

Yes, it asks you to log in or register but you can continue without doing so and just download the file.

Since Csaba is not updating the OG site anymore things have become complicated and every man is on his own, so to speak. For example, i never planned to create a equipicons file but now there are more than 600 icons in that file!

If anybody knows a better site than Dropbox, where i can host the efile, please tell me.

[Puma]

My apologies Max, an add banner was hiding the continue with dl message.
Thanks for the assistance

Have you tried free Google drive (15 GB)?
I've put your efile on my Google drive and you can try to download it...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14fo_nf ... sp=sharing

The operation is simple - if you place a new version of the file under the same name - the link will remain the same
Of course, you need to have a Google account (also free)
