Hi Harry

Is there a RESOURCE script that is firing which gets them to start producing?

That's the only rational explanation for what you're describing with the Oil Resources.

thanks Bill,

I found the scripts and deleted them. Still with the crashes. Looked at the tiles for the oil resource. 57-60. Most of them are used about the same except for 57. There is only one tile 57 and that is near Baku. This is the area where the game caused the crash.

I replaced that tile and all others with 60. So far no crashes.

It would appear that the culprit is resource tile 57. I'll keep testing.

Thanks, glad you've found the cause and I'll run a test my side with 57 to see if there's anything up with it.

I assume that the image file itself hasn't been amended and it is as released?

It was happening before I used the "Boardgame Mod" and after. The mod does change the on map bitmap, But as I said for weeks before I was using everything stock and it was happening then.

Thanks Bill and I'm glad to hear Hubert is getting well.

Still no crashes with resource tile 57 gone. Keep fingers crossed.

I filled a map with resource 57 and didn't get any crashes, so it's odd that it's caused an issue in yours but not in mine.

I am just glad that we have more resources of that type so you can work round it for the moment.

Did you put one near Baku? I believe it was the one farthest east.

That was the only change I made and no crashed for a good 20 turns or so testing various scripts etc.

Maybe it's just the placebo effect but as long as it works. [;)]

I actually just covered a test map with that resource type, hoping it would trigger something but it didn't.

Fun with plane counters USSR. Spending much too much time on this. [X(]

Start of the US version.

Almost forgot. These are all based on SIPRES excellent counter mod.

Great work Hairog.

I know what you mean about spending too much time on the counters.

Looking good so far.

Cheers,

Angus.

Thank you to everyone, Hubert, Bill, Angus, Welk, SPIRES and anyone else's work I've used. Here are a few sceenshots with the Best of Graphics mod.

And Zoomed out.

Why the map has those soft colours

I used the beautiful map created by SPIRES but you can use the unmodded one or some other that I'm sure are on the way. This map just struck a cord with me. Back to the days of old school paper and cardboard games.

Just on a side note. I used to have a small computer business and some of my best customers were printing companies that just made restaurant menus. When the Mac and its laser printer showed up they all went out of business almost overnight. I assume Avalon Hill, SPI etc. experienced the same once computers got to a certain point.

Anyway this map reminds me of the old days. [;)]

When your mod will be ready?

Soon. I'm testing it now and will be looking for volunteers to help. Let me know if you are interested.

I'm interested. Anyway I prefer the original colour map, so that you have to teach me how to get that look. [:)]

Cleaning up the mod for distribution. I copy all the folders etc. and I keep getting his error in all the attempts.


I copy the scripts that work and same thing. What's up?



It only is happening in the editor. The game plays fine.

Are the scripts and cgn files all in the same place?

They should both be in your equivalent of this:
