New Scenario: War Of The Tiny Islands 02 - Tanker Terminator, 1960

Post by Temple »

Developing this second scenario took more time than the first one I think. And it's a bit rough around the edges due to some limitations of the game engine. Still, it should be fun... or at least it was for me[:D]

Like my first scenario, this is different than what some folks have been posting. It's a fairly simple scenario from the gameplay point of view, but has lots and lots of documentation, messages, background and a few other bells and whistles. It's got a lot more story telling to it. Some folks might like it, for others, it might not be their cup of tea. Here's part of the Scenario Description:
During October of 1960 the on again, off again war between the Peoples Republic of Palmyra Atoll (PRPA) and the Kingdom of Jarvis Island (KJI) was on again, but a stalemate of sorts had been reached. The United Nations had stepped in to quell the violence of the air strikes that each nation had been periodically launching against the other. To achieve this they established no fly zones around each island for the other nation; breaching the zone would bring the full weight of many ships and planes down upon the perpetrator.

For the government of the PRPA this could not have come at a worse time. The armed forces of the KJI are desperately short of petroleum products and this would give the government of the PRPA an enormous bargaining chip in negotiations. However, the KJI has contracted for the delivery of a large amount of various oil products which will be arriving by tanker. The ship, the SS Big Oil, was seen leaving Brisbane, Australia several days ago. It was being escorted by several warships of the KJI, ships transferred from friendly nations on long term loans. It is up to you as the commander of the PRPA armed forces to stop the arrival of this tanker.

The download includes several files, as explained in the Read Me First file, which you should of course read first [:)].

This scenario requires CWDB_399 which came with Build 460, which you should also use.

Also available are two custom overlays for the two tiny islands in question. The overlays are in a zip here. The download is from Dropbox and is about 30 MB. The custom overlays are NOT required to play the scenario.

As I said, this scenario might not be for everyone, but I like it [;)]. Please post any problems you might have with it in this thread. Since this scenario doesn't "run on rails" it's possible to approach it a number of ways; let me know if you came across an interesting one.

Did you check the "Unlimited aircraft weapons at bases" box on the Realism settings? It's in the Read Me First.doc

I am on build 460 with unlimited weapons checked and I still cannot load the Migs with anything. I have unlimited "internal guns" loadouts, but if I try launching the Migs with that loadout they immediately RTB Winchester after launching.

I love the scenarios with a solid background and detailed briefings. If you add some good special events and surprises, then definitely it's my cup of tea [:D][:D]

I'll give it a try later on and revert with some feedback [:)]

Sure, although you will need to include all files in the zip for best effect.

I'm working on and off on WOTTI-03, but I'm being frustrated by some game engine issues. The new 1.02 candidate build that enables the ROE option for using SAMs in a surface mode might just be what the doctor ordered.

This crashes on me under B481 after some minutes of game and real time. Even with no action from player side apart from setting time acceleration.
Save attached.

Any ideas? Does it have to be rebuild after the latest patch?

Thanks,

Martin

Anyone else is having that issue under 480? Not sure if I should send it to tech support or a version mismatch scenario/build.

Ideas?

Thank you!

Regrettably I have the same problem on B481.

Command bombs out with a Windows 7 (x64 system) error message that 'Command has stopped working' which I suspect arises from the first plane taking off.

It can then be restarted from the autosave but as soon as the first plane takes off the same problem recurs.
Scenario 1 seems OK in that a plane takes off without problem and the game continues OK but, unfortunately Scenario 3
'freezes' on the 'select a side' box. It pops up OK but contains no data and you have to 'force' COMMAND to exit through Windows.

I have been on B481 since its release and these are the first scenarios to cause problems (not meant as a criticism). I have previously played all the scenarios on B479 without problem.

I was using the overlays but I doubt that this was the cause of the failure: it seemed more related to a plane in 'take off mode'. It seemed to move to the taxiway OK in Scenario 1.

I would be quite happy to provide documentation but the nature of the failure means that there is no COMMAND data
available. However the problem is so immediate that, unless it is a quirk of my and MartinB's setup. it should be able to be easily recreated.

I hope it can be fixed as I ws awaiting the next instalment with interest.

Unfortunately BUILD 483 didn't address the issue, if there is one, so Scenarios 2 and 3 remain 'broken'.

True, but it might be adressed (devs? scenario designer? I cannot say) if we bump it from time to time.

Cheers,
