Problem with three-way war

Post by Damien Thorn »

Hello,

I've made a mod which puts Japan and China on one team, Germany and Italy on one team, and the wallies on a thrid team. It works well, except for one problem: when Japan and the wallies fight they are both on the right side of the battlefield.

Does anyone know how to get two opposing forces to be on seperate sides of the battlefield? I'm worried that somewhere it is hard-coded that "Axis is left-side and everything else is right-side".

I think this is moddable. Experiment with values in gamedata.txt file, especially with "facing" value. I think it is "facing" that determines where the icons will be during animation (though I didn't experiment with it myself).

Japan and China are on the same team? Intersting. Is this like a Risk, take over the world type game?

Yeah, you could think of it that way. Another way would be if Japan had actually been the altruistic "protect our fellow Asians from the eveil colonial Whites" people that their propaganda claimed them to be.

Oleg, I will look in to the facing but I think you are wrong because my Japanese units now face to the left (from the right side of the screen). In the un-modded game they face right (from the left side of the screen). Since I haven't touched any facing setting, I doubt that is it. I hope I'm wrong though.
