Re: Big World Map

I thus see that it is the TRP map, sheesh.

After being a victim of this brand of thievery myself 6 months ago, I just want to express my zero tolerance for such dysfunctional and dishonest shenanigans. :evil:

Re: Global Copy (Apply Data) bug for 2 right-hand techs

I still am having a difficult time following welk' s explanations, but I think he grasps the issue.

This seems to me to be a major issue, and I'm not sure you grasp the large can of worms it opens up, as unsuspecting modders will go in and try to make their own changes in the right-hand techs, only ...

Re: Global Copy (Apply Data) bug for 2 right-hand techs

I just want to make this explicit (I appreciate Welk doing some testing of his own, but there may be a language issue here as I find it hard to follow his trains of thought-for example not sure what exactly he means by "techn types"): the issue isn't that the Apply Data function in question applies ...

Re: Pb with display of "units details" in game

My testing has indicated that the values do NOT round down (i.e. if it is 1.5 in the editor it doesn't revert to 1 in the game exe calculations, as 1.5 is used in the algorithms). Maybe I missed something, but we tested this extensively with shore bombardment among many other things, and s.b. of 0 ...

Global Copy (Apply Data) bug for 2 right-hand techs

I've strongly suspected this for months, after weird errors kept sneaking in the 2nd tech, just caught it in the act:

Tech menu, Automatic Increments
Tech Slot 15 (actually 16th as slot 1 is numbered 0 internally), Infantry Warfare in the base game
Make a change in say movement points or morale or ...

Re: Crusade in Europe 20km Pre-Release Thread

To be exact, no AI scriptwork has been initiated yet. I will likely outsource it to someone else, as because of all the extra locations the resulting scripts will be mammoth in size.

Re: Crusade in Europe 20km Pre-Release Thread

You have to understand that, unlike other mods which use the vanilla maps, this is pretty much a total revamp of the entire game system, as far as I have been able to push it, to the edge of the hardcode, so in a lot of cases we are in uncharted territory (= Here be monsters). The following factors ...

Re: New player contemplating game balance

A lot of the Russian reserves are in Unit scripts (i.e. NOT the build queue), usually triggered by Axis units getting close to specific objectives (tho other triggers exist), so you won't see them anywhere in the game exe interface until they suddenly show up.

Hello,

I'm French. I'm very impressed by your mod. If you're interested, I'd like to help you translate all the text into French.


Thank you for the offer. The issue is that right now, thanks to how a previous modder crafted his scripts, the English texts are NOT in the matching text file, but ...

Re: Incredible powerfull editor + Question for Bill or Hubert

The unit classifications are for the benefit of the AI, tl;dr.

I'd prefer finer gradations for many of the parameters in the game, but the devs have changed a few for me over the years.

Re: Incredible powerfull editor

You have to do a workaround with sounds: make the relevant sound file, then rename it the exact name for that unit's default file slot, and drop the file into the scenario's /Sound folder.

Unit from Unit scripts NOT counting against build limits/showing up in queue?

Could have put into the Tech subforum, but as it is of broader gameplay implications I'll put it here:

Unit scripts are a vital tool for helping to shape a given country's combat lineup. But I've always been a bit bugged that units that are spawned in this way do NOT count against the country's ...

Again I cannot overstate how much OCB has helped to publicize my scenario, he is the man. 8-)

I posted quite a few clarifications over there. We already have one new recruit today note. So take a look and if you are game, hop on board!

Gaming laptop suggestions

I already have a pretty beefy desktop rig, but need a PC for the road for my frequent travels, where my old tablet can't run a lot of things (such as PC games). Budget is $1000, can be stretched to $1500; want to avoid bloatware if at all possible.

Re: Modern Scenario Concept — MOD for Russia–Ukraine War (2022–20XX)

I'm going to tell you right now, that the amount of work involved will be many times what you may naively think it will be at the start. And you likely won't be making a custom map for it-if you do, that will quadruple your workload. Not to discourage you, just speaking from experience.
