Fall Weiss II - WIE 14.0 - (Ready for Download)

[DarkHorse2]

Not really a fan of the Taranto Raid event.

As the Axis, means you run a risk of basing naval units at that port.

Seems to me like the AI already conducts air raids against naval ports on its own without the need for a specific event for this. The allied AI is very aggressive on sending its CV fleet to the Ionian Sea. As it is now, you can get hit both by Allied CV units AND the Taranto Raid event... potentially in the same turn.

Not sure if there are any other events like this in the game. Feels the same as having a 'Kiev Pocket' event at same time as Germany is conducting its Barbarossa offensive. The Kiev Pocket should come as a result of in-game military actions - not forced via an event.

FYI - also tweaked the 18+ units within 10 hexes of Warsaw event as follows:

I added a notification message for the Axis player. This was meant to address the need to properly alert the player when they have been 'caught' over garrisoning the border, resulting in an increase in USSR mobilization. (previously, you were not notified and this could easily be going on for several turns without becoming the wiser...)

I think I finally found how they are handling the Map Symbols to denote the Warsaw garrison requirements.
(this took me a good while to find... and not how I expected it to be implemented.)

I believe it is in popup.txt, in the 'ALLIED AI: German/Soviet Front Garrison Report 1940' & 'ALLIED AI: German/Soviet Front Garrison Report 1941' events.

They are using a previously unknown #DISPLAY_STYLE parameter value.

There are new comments for this command:

Code: Select all

; #DISPLAY_STYLE= What type of display style for the #POPUP banner text area?
;                 0 = default style, simple text with small national flags relative to #COUNTRY_ID on either side of text 
;                     (this default can be used with #MESSAGE body text and/or #IMAGE and #SOUND
;                 1 = major header, larger text with no national flags on either side of text 
;                     (only if #IMAGE used, otherwise will default to default style = 0)
;              2.xx = mouse hover popup style where xx refers to the sprite index of the symbol_sprites.png file that will be shown at #MAP_POSITION.  
;                     More than one #MAP_POSITION can be set for #DISPLAY_STYLE = 2.xx
;                     (e.g. 2.24 indicating the 24th sprite in the symbol_sprites.png file).
;                     #TRIGGER and #DISPLAY_ORDER will not be checked/applied when #DISPLAY_STYLE is 2.xx.
;                     Display of symbol sprite will follow the logic of the POPUP event, 
;                          e.g. if #DISPLAY_TURN and #AI = 0, then the map symbol will show on all turns.
;                     If #DISPLAY_TURN value > 0, 
;                          e.g. only show on Axis or Allied turns, 
;                     #PRIVATE= 1 can be used to hide the display of the symbol sprite when 'Hide/Show Map Info' is disabled in game.

I was wondering how they were able to change the Map Symbol Layer via the scripted events. I can see how to do it from within the editor, but I did not find any information on how to change it dynamically during the game. If it was documented, I never came across it.

FYI, Fall Weiss did not previously make use of using the '2.xx' value for #DISPLAY_STYLE either.

Anyways, I think I can merge this feature into Fall Weiss II... provided I don't miss anything needed.

I think I am on the right track, as the map symbols are appearing on the map from within the editor (after I merged the standard Popup.txt into the version in Fall Weiss II...)

I am a software engineer and feel like this is more of a post-release hack than anything else.

#DISPLAY_STYLE was specific to the popup message and had nothing to do with the map.

Code: Select all

; #DISPLAY_STYLE= What type of display style for the #POPUP banner text area?
;                 0 = default style, simple text with small national flags relative to #COUNTRY_ID on either side of text 
;                     (this default can be used with #MESSAGE body text and/or #IMAGE and #SOUND
;                 1 = major header, larger text with no national flags on either side of text 
;                     (only if #IMAGE used, otherwise will default to default style = 0)

that is... until it was expanded(?) to allow the 2.xx value

Code: Select all

;              2.xx = mouse hover popup style where xx refers to the sprite index of the symbol_sprites.png file that will be shown at #MAP_POSITION.
;                     More than one #MAP_POSITION can be set for #DISPLAY_STYLE = 2.xx
;                     (e.g. 2.24 indicating the 24th sprite in the symbol_sprites.png file).
;                     #TRIGGER and #DISPLAY_ORDER will not be checked/applied when #DISPLAY_STYLE is 2.xx.
;                     Display of symbol sprite will follow the logic of the POPUP event, 
;                          e.g. if #DISPLAY_TURN and #AI = 0, then the map symbol will show on all turns.
;                     If #DISPLAY_TURN value > 0, 
;                          e.g. only show on Axis or Allied turns, 
;                     #PRIVATE= 1 can be used to hide the display of the symbol sprite when 'Hide/Show Map Info' is disabled in game.

Personally, I would have introduced a new script command for this... something like:

Code: Select all

#SET_POSITION_SYMBOL= x, y [nnn]
    Format: x-coord, y-coord [sprite_symbol index]

... but whatever...

[DarkHorse2]

I have the garrison symbols integrated in Fall Weiss II. All modifications have been checked into the repo.

Testing it now. So far so good.

I have also imported the map terrain modifications made to default '39 scenario (per the change log).

I will be looking into what bugs have been fixed in the base game that still need to be carried over to Fall Weiss.

For example...

All Campaigns
• Change the river at Kherson (211,90) to use Major River tile 316 and 561 for the river mouth (Radar8717).
• Yugoslavia and Turkey’s unit facings changed (Hydra).
• Russian Armored Trains are now limited to Infantry Weapons level 2 (Taxman66).
• The cost of Anti-Aircraft Defense research reduced from 125 to 110 MPPs.
• AA units can now be upgraded to level 3 in Anti-Aircraft Defense.
• Soviet Garrisons, Special forces, Mechanized and Cavalry units corrected so they can only upgrade to level 2 Infantry Weapons rather than 3 (Duedman).
• Increased Attack increments for Amphibious Warfare research to 1 against Artillery, Rockets, Light Armour, Tanks, Aircraft and Anti-Aircraft units (Beriand; Chernobyl).
• Increased the base combat attack values for both types of Amphibious Transports from 0 to 1 against Artillery, Rockets, Light Armour, Aircraft and Anti-Aircraft units (Beriand; Chernobyl).
• Increased the chance of the Soviet AI investing in Anti-Aircraft Defense research (Michael Kollmann).
• Saudi Arabian convoy scripts corrected so an active Saudi Arabia will send MPPs to the once it is 10% pro-Allied or more, and also when the USA is still neutral (kischult).
1939 Campaign
• National Morale script triggered by the Allied capture of Oslo should Germany invade Norway via DE 644 added (Duedman).
• Set Lithuania to be 15% pro-Allied and also changed the ALIGNMENT_POSITION checks for DE 457 and DE 458 from Polotsk to Kaunas being in Allied hands, so as to avoid the connected MOBILIZATION_3 scripts from firing when the USSR annexes the Baltic States, but Germany has already annexed the country.
• Added a Strength script penalising Polish unit morale against the Axis AI at Intermediate and above (Mithrilotter).
• DE 601 will now trigger the deployment of a German Garrison unit in Copenhagen (OxfordGuy3).
• Amended the Strategy Guide to reflect that it is territory near Petsamo that transfers to the USSR if they win the Winter War, rather than Petsamo itself (OxfordGuy3).
1939 & 1940 Campaigns
• Changed DE 151 to just check for Paris being in Axis hands, rather than requiring an Axis unit being in Paris (Gilber).
• Duplicated DE 604 with DE 678 so that the same DE fires whether or not the UK supports the Free French (jkap).
• The USSR now receives an AA unit via the Production Queue in July 1940.
• France’s MPP boost on liberation increased from 75 MPPs for 3 turns to 200 MPPs for 3 turns (Mithrilotter).
• 6 and 10 hexes of Warsaw will now show on the map when relevant. Note that this does not take into account other political actions, e.g. the entrance of Axis Minors into the war, the independence or otherwise of the Baltic States, or whether or not Poland has been divided between Germany and the USSR (taffjones).
• The presence of an Italian naval unit within 10-12 hexes of the port of Southampton while Italy is neutral can now trigger the US mobilizing by 2-5% per turn (HarrySmith).
1939, 1940 & 1941 Campaigns
• Added alternative deployment locations for the Anti-Tank units that deploy at Gorky and also for the German Anti-Tank units that deploy at Warsaw (Duedman).
• Soviet Winter can now lead to the loss of Axis units if they are at low strength.
1941 Campaign
• Added #795= Annapolis to the non-English unit.txt files (canuckgamer).
• The USSR now has an AA unit at Kharkov.
1942, 1943 & 1944 Campaigns
• - Sortavala (207,45) now starts as under Axis control (artak1998).
1944 Campaign
• Reduced the maximum Mobility upgrade on AA units from level 2 to 1.

FYI

Something is terribly broken when you try to export/import data from one scenario to another. For example, when you try to do that with the 'Hex' data, it ends up corrupting the country data for some of the countries. (spent hours trying to repair / work around to no avail.) I had to give up entirely on that.


It like, shifts some of the country data where Germany<->Italy data, Canada->Burma data, Finland->Estonia data. Other places the minor country data gets pretty hosed (like Egypt). I think it gets their data swapped with another country as well. It ended up being a colossal mess, with the Hex data export/import feature being unusable.

However, terrain data, symbol data, river data all seemed safe to export/import.

I wouldn’t dive into these. I appreciate the formatting of the decisions events and spelling error checks as well as some of the missing hex notifications but there are a number of fixes by the vanilla game that are not applicable to my mod. I have a totally different unit structure for example, and have 1000+ changes. Some of the vanilla changes I ignore because it would mess with the balance achieved already.

[DarkHorse2]

I completely understand.

Your mod is based on a (very dated?) snapshot of the original '39 scenario and carried over many of those events, unchanged... along with their "issues", that have subsequently been addressed. (those are the ones I suspect would be of particular importance)

Some of those base-line events have subsequently been fixed. As well, they have expanded(?) the game engine to take advantage of newer script command value ranges, such as #AI=.

Code: Select all

; #AI= Values range [0, 6]
;      0 = Event fires whenever all fields are satisfied for any game type
;      1 = Event fires whenever all fields are satisfied, for Single Player games only, and only when the AI is Axis
;      2 = Event fires whenever all fields are satisfied, for Single Player games only, and only when the AI is Allied
;      3 = Event fires whenever all fields are satisfied, for any game type, and only when the AI is Axis in Single Player, or on Allied Multiplayer turns
;      4 = Event fires whenever all fields are satisfied, for any game type, and only when the AI is Allied in Single Player or on Axis Multiplayer turns
;      5 = Event fires whenever all fields are satisfied, for Single Player games only, and only when the AI is Axis in Single Player, 
;          or for AI controlled Axis majors on Axis human player turns
;      6 = Event fires whenever all fields are satisfied, for Single Player games only, and only when the AI is Allied in Single Player,
;          or for AI controlled Allied majors on Allied human player turns

---

You may want to look at those.

---

The Country ID list has changed since your baseline. Those changes have not been accounted for in the "localization.txt" file, so I don't think you are aware.

---

Additionally, some events have been added since the original base-line snap-shot of the '39 scenario.

I expect that some of the newer events will need to be "disabled" for your mod. Without really knowing which ones those are, I carried them over for you to eventually decide. There are others, you may want. Regardless, they are there for you.

I leave the play-balance decisions to you and am OK if some stuff needs to be rolled back out or disabled.

Yes this is intended. This is a variable event that is only meant to trigger in the ALT history scenario that Spain joins the Axis, In a small variable window of opportunity prior to USA joining the war.

Germany has a 6% chit for diplomacy vs UK 5% and their are events to aid the Germans in diplomacy. It’s far from certain but Spain can sometimes join with heavy investment, and this decision event is meant to continue to add replay value/variability in the game.

Ok these I suppose are legitimate any you flag please make a note, I will review. appreciate the audit.

I believe the following script is wrong. (in base base game as well)
(from diplomacy.txt)

#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 111 [2] [0] [0]
; Set tactical conditions:

; unit can occupy tile 0,0 so event will not be cancelled due to
#CANCEL_POSITION= 0,0 [0,0] [1,1] [0]
}

specifically:
; 1st Line - UK(112) politically aligned with Allies and not surrendered
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 112 [2] [100] [0]

Believe it should be:
; 1st Line - USSR(116) politically aligned with Allies and not surrendered
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 116 [2] [100] [0]

That would correspond with following as well:
#COUNTRY_ID= 116

[DarkHorse2]

Suspect the following is incorrect as well, same as above.
(only exists in Fall Weiss II)

I believe the following script is wrong. (in base base game as well)
(from diplomacy.txt)

I've made a note to look into this for the base game.

[DarkHorse2]

FYI

I wrote a parser to parse the decisions.txt file and output the decision links into a GraphViz formatted file (see decision_gv.txt)

You have to zoom in on the png file to see the details.... sorry about that.

But here is some of the zoomed output that is easily to read.

Zoomed_Decision_Tree_Graph.PNG (617.09 KiB) Viewed 840 times

Anyways, the decision.txt file is so large and complex, it helps make sense of the decision tree dependencies.

I can already spot some errors....

[crispy131313]

The decision tree can be misleading such as the Blue Division leading into a Turkish decision, but some of these are not errors are are by design.

Which errors are you referring to specifically?

It’s definitely interesting to see some of these mapped out. I’ve not made it easy for anyone to decipher, focusing more on functionality in game than easy to read notes in the editor.

[DarkHorse2]

I can tell from the decision_gv.txt that the DECISION numbers are not aligning with some of the event names.

Also, there is also something wrong with 981.

Code: Select all

    981 [label=""]

From my algorithm, the label is missing for some reason. It would only be missing if #DECISION= 981 does not exist.

Yet it is being referenced from a #LINK= statement.

It is being referenced here:

Code: Select all

}

This may be the one using the wrong #DECISION=

I also have access to my debug output, which I have attached.

Something peculiar about these:

---------------------

FYI - the unreferenced node list at the bottom of the log means the node was not referenced from decisions.txt file, but could be referenced from one of the other script files... which I am not currently checking... yet.

Without looking into it too much I know that decision fires as intended in 100% of matches
