Bug? - Does the Naval Mod use outdated scripts ?

Post by epower »

Playing the excellent 1939 World at War Naval Mod with some personal tweaks. To my knowledge no scripts have been updated as a result of my editor saves. Also, am I correct in remembering that the Naval War Mod does not alter scripts from the Default WaW campaign?

While investigating why my Medium and Tactical Bombers failed to materialize in response to DE 302: The US Receives a Bomber from French Orders, I discovered significant file size differences in the Event Scripts between the Community Pack '1939 World at War Naval Mod' and the Stock '1939 World at War.'

Some highlights from the Scripts\Events Folder (Naval War / Stock WaW):

Decisions 10818/11414 - lines
National Morale 7159/9016
Popup 2506/8566
Unit 14743/15650

Further examination revealed some larger file sizes in the Stock WaW AI Scripts folder. My thinking is that the Naval War Mod got left behind in the 1.14.00 Update.

Is the simple solution to replace the Community Pack Naval War Scripts folder with the (apparently) later version from the World at War Campaign?

Thanks,

If I've understood correctly, this should work, though I would save it all as a new modded campaign, so that if there any issues you're keeping the originals ready to refer/revert to.

Thanks Bill. I did exactly that and replaced the entire Scripts Folder with a clean one from the Stock 1939 Campaign. Only glitch was with Rangoon Port being in a diff hex. Easily corrected.

I've saved all my changes into a new Campaign - Spicy Naval Mod - tailored for a Human US/UK/India vs AI Axis at Expert Level. (China and USSR AI) That's a separate thread but the previous runthru using buffed Convoy raiding looked promising. Uboatwaffe doing serious MPP damage in 1941. Worst turn was a 150 hit for the UK. I'll report back in a fresh thread.

Cheers
