UK armor

Post by generalfdog »

In the notes for the patch it says that the UK can't build mech/arm until March of 40 but in my first game it seems they can still build them whenever?

Apparently I didn't upload the right events file and .scn for the three 1939 scenarios. I must have accidentally overridden them. I will have to catch it next patch. It was the only change in the scenario files.

Is it something that can be altered in the editor? And of course the events file. If so, I can fix it in my own game.

I fixed it in my own game. I wrote 2 new events in the events.txt file and loaded them in the scenario file:

//PanzerMike: The UK can now build Mech
$ChangeUnitAttributes
if_Date=3/1/1940
lifespan=tillTrigger
targetCountry=1
unitID=9
stats=30,4,3,2,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,6,9,1,130,300,3,1
text=The UK develops a new doctrine and can now build Mechanized Corps
addReportTo=Allies
$End

//PanzerMike: The UK can now build Armor
$ChangeUnitAttributes
if_Date=3/1/1940
lifespan=tillTrigger
targetCountry=1
unitID=10
stats=30,3,1,4,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,7,9,1,200,360,3,1
text=The UK develops a new doctrine and can now build Armor Corps
addReportTo=Allies
$End

I also disabled the Armor and Mech build option for the UK in the editor.

I tested my solution and it worked fine.
Don't try this if you don't know how to mod/edit the game though.

Can't we have directly the corrected scenario on Google drive without waiting the new patch coming in two months?

Yeah that would be better indeed. It is not hard to fix yourself, but you do need to know what your doing. So not for everybody. Waddayasay Alvaro?

Let me get something up later today. I have had a family emergency this week and have been short on time.

Go to this link and do the hotfix patch repatch.

It will generate the scenarios correctly once you run the game.
