RHS vx.7612 micro updates posted at Send Space and avail at web site

NOTE you must install the full vx.761 scenario sets FIRST then the micro


Changes
his is a courtesy update. It includes:

a) Revisions to data for P-47N, P-51B and P-51D - all singnificantly more maneuverable than perviously rated.

b) Revisions to about ten major CD sites (only 3 Japanese - all at Tsushima Straits) - to help big CD guns survive longer (at Singapore and Manila in particular).

c) A few trivial eratta.

This corrects a single hex side preventing ships from entering Konan, Chosen (that is, Hungnam, North Korea in modern usage).

RHS v5.77 posted at send space and avail at web site - others will follow durring course od day

Changes
This comprehensive update - for all scenarios at all levels - is mainly error punching.

Playing the game on both sides, I could recognize issues that might not be understood by error-checking software. Others also detected problems - including a task force creation problem in non EOS related scenarios. All these matters have been addressed.

I added 5 USN LSTs, some .50 cal machine guns to USAAF EABs, and one Japanese curved gun (mortar) battalion. Japanese mortar units were renamed - so that all Very Heavy units are "regiments".

Cam files were recreated. Some pilot pools and replacement rates were changed. Mainly this was adding to Allied values - but cutting JNAF to 108 in strictly historical scenarios (which they should always have been).

All the things added/corrected for 7.762 microupdate are included here.

Levels 5 and 6 will both upgrade to this standard - as I am unwilling to leave any scenario without these fixes. I took some time to give problems a chance to be reported - and to do more testing - in the hope we can now freeze at this point for a while.

RHS v7.97 PWHEX set posted at Send Space and avail at web site

Changes
The reason for this update is that two locations moved - and they need trails connecting them to island communications systems: Kendari moved to its true location (for the first time in WITP): ships now must approach from the East as IRL; and Sabang (now a dual location Sabang/Banda) has moved to the very NE tip of Sumatra. At the same time, the top 3 hexes of the LOC on Northern Sumatra is now trail - the RR ends where it should. Other places where art mismatched pwhex are corrected - both in Australia - one RR - one trail - both interior.

Otherwise this is a massive review of hexes, mainly hex sides, to help art line up with the file the computer uses (that is, pwhex). Sometimes these are not errors as much as refinements and enhancements. I took the time to review this extensively so there should be few issues remaining and we can use these files for some time.

These files are version 7.797 - and correspond to all RHS Level 7 scenarios 7.771 and later (right now that means 7.7711 as well). They can and should be installed into ongoing games of those levels. It is possible to install them in still older games - no ships will be trapped - but land units at Kendari (or Sabang if there are any) will then be in the wrong hex: your call.

Theoretically Level 5 and 6 files will follow shortly. It requires a complete art uninstall - reinstall - multiple times - so shortly is a relative term. I also am on jury duty - and it isn't clear how much time I have?

Note for the past fortnight I have been having problems in getting 4 drives to hook up
and let windows run - of course all my art work and programs are on one of these drives
and until fixed b- no art - and some art changes have to take place for this PWHEX change
will do it as as possible Cobra Aus

RHS v6.78 scenarios posted at Send Space and avail at web site

Changes
This is a comprehensive collection of eratta and enhancements, corresponding to 7.78, and including a fix for Regina (CANADA) as a supply source, adding Bethel (Alaska) and converting the J7W1 to a single engine aircraft. It works with already issued pwhex set 6.797 and it corresponds to a new economic utility set 6.78 which will follow.

RHS v5.78 and v7.78 scenarios posted at send space and avail at web site

Changes
This is a fairly comprehensive package of minor eratta of all sorts and a few enhancements. Regina (CANADA) is fixed so it functions as a supply/resource source at all times - and grows as intended. Bethel Alaska is added. The J7W1 is changed to only require one engine. It uses already issued pwhex set 7.797 and there is a new economic utility package which will follow reflecting a few changes (like adding Bethel). Other Levels have more significant changes at the x.78 level - but anything that applies to Level 7 is here.

RHS v5.757 PWHEX set posted at send space and avail at web site

Changes
These pwhex files only needed about 1/3 of the changes done to others for this level.
They probably are the very last issue for Level 5 for all time.

The trail on the NE tip of Sumatra was added - but the trail to Kendari was not added (because art does not permit Kendari to move). Instead, hex side coding now requires approaching Kendari from the East.

Exmouth is moved from its CHS position - to show it is really on the tip of the penninsula and not at the bottom of the bay at NW Australia. This - and other - factors probably mean Level 5 is not truly compatible with CHS map art - but it is still probably possible to mix and match pwhex files and/or map art between Level 5 and CHS. There is no chance of that with Level 6 or 7 RHS.

Using these files with games of an earlier version is possible - ships won't be trapped - but it isn't recommended. These files line up with the 5.78 location file - and not earlier ones - in a few respects.


The data files for 5.78 follow.

Hi,

Keen to start playing RHS. I got CHS extended map. What are the files & steps to install?

Thanks
Pat

Cobra - having not distributed the x.781 microupdate files - seems to be out of the loop. Sometimes he loses communications - other times he actually has a real life!

You should go to the RHS site for basic guidence and files. This thread can give you links to updated files - because the site cannot be updated very often. The site has an install guide, and it has the RHS Manual - a useful thing - particularly in the beginning. http://www.rhs.akdreemer.com/RHS_home.html

There are essentially three things you need:

a) Data files. A set of files about scenarios that go in the SCEN folder which are uploaded from time to time. The current level for these files is 5.78, 6.78 and 7.78. All these have links posted in this thread. There has been a microupdate - just two files - which is not yet linked here. There is about to be another microupdate - x.782 - but it won't post here until Cobra returns. You can get these updates from Mifune, WITPQs, m10Bob, and no doubt others. These are the files I do.
I will put you on direct distribution of these files on request.

b) Art files. A set of files that go into folders - or in some cases sub folders - in the art directory. These include 4 ship files and 4 plane files (I think). Acceptable sets should be found on the RHS site. Ship art files are being updated to a new Matrix / CHS / RHS "standard" format - and will post soon - in this thread. I don't do these files and cannot control when they release. There are three different sets of these files - one for Level 5, 6 and 7. You may only have ONE of them installed at one time.

c) Map files and pwhex.dat files. The former go in the art folder - the latter in the top level folder of WITP. I do the latter. The current version of it is EITHER 5.797, 6.797 or 7.797. You may only use ONE of these - and you must decide which? The first digit corresponds to the "level" of RHS - that is the map type. A slightly updated form of these files - with two trails extended in Levels 6 and 7 (only 1 in 5) - should post soon, but the current sets are pretty good. Start with the maps from the site and download later updates from this thread - ONLY for your chosen level.

Hi el cid again.

Thanks for the prompt post. Excellent service![&o][&o] This weekend I will set up the second installation & hopefully whoppee!!

Thanks
Pat

el cid, the linik you gave (http://www.rhs.akdreemer.com/RHS_home.html) doesn't seem to work. Is it a temporarily outage or a wrong link?

RHS v7.782 micro update posted at send space and avail at web site

Note ( this is a combination of 3 updates v7.78 781 and 782 rolled into 1

Changes
It features a reworked device file - and additional ROC/maneuverability ratings - mainly for the Allies. Many other Allied planes not listed are already using this scheme - but will be checked for 7.783. This update will make CD more deadly, and heavy AAA more deadly - but may only have a marginal effect on ground combat. What changes is that devices will be more consistent.

Level 7 is the ONLY level getting plane data rework EXCEPT that eratta are worked in. But the device reform goes to all levels and is being treated as eratta.

There will be a 7.783 microupdate when we complete aircraft updates. There only probably will be a 5 or 6 .783 - depending on if we find eratta.

At that point we will again attempt to freeze development - unless there is a new air maneuverability rating scheme adopted by CONSENSUS - which would require a 7.784 after much work.

Changes
This is similar to 7.782 WITHOUT aircraft ROC changes - except to the extent that true errors for aircraft are corrected. MAINLY this involves the device changes for gun accuracy - for consistency.
