Database support

Will ANW support, or include all the databases that are out?

[Dimitris]

The new version is going to support all the existing community databases. Only one database will be included with the "box" release; all other community databases will continue to be available for download at various sites.

In fact, the support for some database features will be even better! Previously, in H3 v3.6.3, you could not use pre-constructed bases/Installations because they would have an error whenever you tried to put them into a scenario.

However, it looks like this bug has finally been squashed! Now, for those databases that support pre-built Installations (like the PlayersDB), you can add an entire base at the click of a button. Very handy for scenario designers.

It's actually been gone for about a year or more so my memory is a bit faded on this one.

<< snip >>

The error that Herman is talking about was a bug that allowed the game engine to lose count of the number of aircraft that was in a scenario. However, there is a latitude and longitude differential setting in the DB editor that allows the user to stipulate a distance from the center point of the installation. This means that you can custom build a base to real life specifications if you want.

Just for clarification, this bug is still present in v3.6.3. You must be referring to a different bug. The existing bug displays:

"ios_base failure in clear"

whenever anyone tries to insert a pre-built installation. However, this is moot since it does not appear in ANW.

It's also worth noting that you can move around the facilities so that they are not located in the same location as the installation icon, thus spoofing another player as to it's actual location.

Sorry, there's a problem with this in 3.6.3. I'll be certain to check and see if it is around in ANW.

Thanks guys. I'll be waiting anxiously for word of its release.
