Matrix Games Forums

I have three questions/issues. When i play vanilla 1939 campaign everything is fine. I used the editor and modified 1939 game. Worked okay on first play till I stopped in 1941. I deleted all saves and modified .cgn file. Next I created a new edited 1939. Here is what i am encountering:

1) Convoy lines do not appear on map - any color. I went into edit campaign data and convoy box is checked. I unchecked and saved. then checked the box again. Still no convoy lanes. Updated scripts till i got no "*". still no convoy lanes appear, even in editor.

2) I changed research on Mobility (Germany) = 3 for max level. I researched to level 3, and research shows 3. However, all units show 1(1) for mobility. Is the (1) level hard coded? Can it be changed? Other values I change work fine, just mobility.

3) Conquered Poland on Turn 2. Event triggers asking about Poland partition and I say "Yes". Event triggers Russia advancing, but none do and Poland border remains all Axis. On MMP calculation, I get +25 from USSR. This happened 4 games in a row.

Any assistance on these issues would be appreciated.

Are you saving changes in Documents [required] or Program Files [improper]?

I am saving in the docs. Have not changed any settings. My first edited game worked fine with many saves through 1941.

I was playing around again. opened default 1939 game and editor showed convoy routes as normal. I made some map changes - added a port and some resources to a couple countries. Then went to save. Got the scripts message and said update all. Scripts went through verify process. Only one came back with "*" - (amphibious). However, the convoy lanes disappeared. Thinking maybe i should uninstall everything and reinstall game. Last resort. Still curious on question 2...

'*' means there is a script error, are you finding and correcting any of those [you have to click the highlighted button to find errors].

Still curious on question 2...

I've changed those settings but have not had that issue. All I can suggest is to eyeball it all again to make sure it is the way you want it. I might remember that the highlighted area seen below can cause some grumpiness, so maybe pay attention to that stuff.

If the convoy scripts don't have an asterisk next to them, then once you've saved they should reappear on the map.

Thanks, sPzAbt653 for solving issue 2. I did not dive deep enough into the Research editor. Mobility seems to be set on (1) for all countries and setting on (5) on main research page will not override. Once I changed it on the Research advanced tab, it allowed me to increase in game.

Thanks to all as well on convoy issue. I made a map change and lost convoys even after saving and updating scripts. Then I clicked on another hex and went to save again and a new list of Scripts popped up with another "convoy" script. when i updated those my convoy lanes reappeared!! YEAH!!
So now I have more hope. just maybe need to save and update a couple times.
