WITP version 1.40 Out Soon

[Platoonist]

Great news! Of course that means in a few weeks we'll be back to the ubiquitous flurry of 'Where is the new Patch?' posts. [:D]

13) Aircraft slots 8, 14 and 24 and 75 have been changed to carrier capable for the Japanese.

I wonder if this should be 76 and not 75. In V1.3 Scenario 15 and 16, aircraft 75 is the Ki-54 Hickory. Slot 76 is empty (as are 14 and 24).

[Tankerace]

So the Ki-54 is carrier capable now? That should prove interesting....

[bgibs]

What about the set all buttons in carrier groups? This has been broken since day one, is it still on the list?

[Tankerace]

Huh? What do you mean set all buttons are broken? Don't know about set all in this TF, but the set all on this carrier (or whatever) works for me...

[Mike Wood]

Hello...

You are correct. Should be slot 76. Here is the code:

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool CarrierAircraft(short int tac)
{
if(tac<25)
return(true);

if(tac>75 && tac<102)
return(true);

return(false);
}

My "C" is better than my English.

Data Base Changes and Modifications for WitP, patch 1.4

Corrected Japanese subs 1177 - 1200 Nationality from none to IJ Navy
Corrected upgrade path for Singapore 105 to correctly upgrade to PBY Catalina 103
Corrected upgrade path for 103 PBY Catalina to correctly upgrade some groups to PBM Mariner 112 and corrected remaining PBY Catalina groups to remain as PBY Catalina for duration of game.

PT-129 to PT-600 (#6600 - 6922) The class had been updated to #1506 (Elco 80ft PT) but the devices still showed as those for the older class #321 (Elco 80ft PT). Corrected.
PT-62 to PT-64 (#6555 - 6558) The class had been updated to #1504 (Elco 77ft PT) but the devices still showed as those for the older class #319 (Elco 77ft PT). Corrected.

Thanks for the update[:)], I didn't expect a patch until after the first of the year.

Can you confirm the following are bugs and not yet fixed.

1. NightFighter combat issue.
2. Ohka's availability still not working.
3. Japanese Aircraft production (computer overrides player changes if you try to build older aircraft types, recking aircraft production) This is the same issue you fixed in PacWar.

[Mike Wood]

Hello...

I prefer BAL (mainframe assembler) or on the PC, Macro-assembler to "C" or COBOL, but I don't pick the language.

Mike

I've not done "C" for over a decade but I think I see a small omission in the function above. I've marked it it red.

[Mike Wood]

Hello...

Yes, I can confirm they are not fixed. Number one and two and about a dozen others are on short bug list. Number three has yet to make my list. Never of heard of it, before.

Don't tell anyone, but the short list for features (they are free you know, I don't get paid to add them) are filters for the leader exhange screens with numerical values for characteristcs and some way to have limited aircraft upgrade/down grade choices for air groups (as I added in PacWar).

Hello...

Nope. Not in code. Not in design. But, since you seem to have my attention, I just added it.

Free? Holy crap, Mike. And here I am firing off all these feature requests... [X(]You must like beer? You take beer coupons redeemable in the States? I'll pay ya in beer for The Task Group formation and ability to group ships of same type into divisions for ease of handling. Might be a lot of beer coupons!!! One of my close friends is an import beer rep and he has lots of taps in my tavern. I suppose I could misuse some "beer support" for "WITP support".[:D]

[Admiral Scott]

Thanks Mike, for giving me my new feature request, for the AVG not to be affected by the early war zero advantage.

[MadmanRick]

Mike,
Thanks for the update AND the early Christmas present! I would like some clarification though, will 1.4 require a restart or is a restart strongly suggested? Please advise, as this will affect many of us. Thanks,

Rick

[Mike Wood]

Hello...

No. A restart is not needed.

[michaelm75au]

You need more Allied Carrier planes?

So slots 1-24 and 76-101 and 244-250 are carrier capable.
