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.

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.

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!

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.

OK, SHOWTIME FOLKS!

I have sent PMs to the last 15 posters in this thread + whoever may have volunteered via PM. I want to keep the group relatively small, so I'll likely only take the first dozen or so volunteers. If you weren't one of the 15 just drop me a line via PM if still interested and I ...

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.

The latter. That comes up so much there probably should be a sticky thread for that.

Note the modmaker has been much less active on the forum for the last couple of years.

Alas, no: sure wish it did, esp. Mud...

You mentioned custom countries and counters, but for working with the actual editor:

Note I haven't added anything about scripting; you'll have to rely on the manual for the bare bones there.

After ending the playtest in fall of '42, having been satisfied with the broader issues (i.e. I foresee no radical rebalancings necessary in terms of force pools or income, and have found no game-breaking issues requiring lengthy revisions like I have in past tests), I am now on the latest set of ...

Thanks Elessar for actually turning my crappy map mod into something usable! I still can't believe I just sat there with a WITP:AE map open and painstakingly copied it across 1:1 onto a blank map. :roll:


You're welcome sam , but Nginear deserves a lot of the credit for taking our work and ...

Mid August 1942:

More or less historical, tho Moscow is about to fall and Lenigrad won't be far behind (a mass of forts in front of Stalingrad has dissuaded the Axis from taking it, for now). I just got Ground Warfare 1 for the Russians tho which means double ...

Still in '42, June:

I've focused almost all time and effort on the Russian Front while leaving everything else in stasis, and to check how it works with a high unit ...

It's going. As usual real-world stuff has taken precedence for the moment, including the usual beatific September weather.

In the latter half of 1941 right now, Barbarossa is a bit behind the historical pace, and this is mainly due to how supply is modeled by the game engine, tl;dr. Good news is ...

No surprise given my huge orders of battle, but I'll outline the figures in question here:

Russians have 127 base builds for unit slot [03] (the 4th one since they start with [00] for HQs), the maximum allowed in the editor. This is amenable to increases from the Army Mobilization tech slot 17, 10 ...

The workaround map size kludge is possible (PM me if you really want to know how), but the devs indicated doing so may break things in the game engine.

At my current pace (no gamebreakers so far), expect the test group to finally be called by Labor Day. I was on a trip for the 1st third of August ...

I PMed him a couple of months ago, but his presence on the forum has been very spotty over the last year or so, thanks to some major health issues. You can try PMing him yourself and see if he is willing to help you out.

This town always reminds me of this album:

Question No.1:

Some units in China start the game entrenched. I have found no entrenchment option in this game like in the WWI version.
How did the units that start the game entrenched become entrenched? How do I entrench other units.

Question No. 2:

What is the significance of the blue and red ...

I'm not as dense as you seem to believe.

I understand that as designed it's a legal move.
My problem is with the "as designed" aspect.

It simply shouldn't be a legal move.

Unfortunately, I found no ability to create a block to land movement or attack in the editor, so this is something only ...
