I know you've been busy with the patch. Was just wondering if you'd had a chance to look at my issue or if not this is a reminder for when you get time. I noticed I was slipping down the page.

Well I'm designing my mod around what I want as a player within the limits of the engine. It'll be nice if the AI is able to put up a good game, but I'm not limiting myself because I'd rather have what I want and find a human opponent than to worry about the AI.

2 cents being laid on the table. In my mod that I'm working on the brigades are set with a slot for artillery in the family section of the unit file. Artillery batteries are recruited seperate. If the player wants arty attached, then he just has to merge it with the brigade since it's short an eleme...

I never open anything in edit mode. I just save it and get out. When I was saying it was erroring out on the ledger that's through the normal game engine. My mod worked up to recently when i added some units, added some events and made some additions to the forcepool.

Here is my mod for anyone wanting to see it. It's pretty big as I've created new models, units and using copy and paste made some different combinations of the graphic files. Since I was redefining everything anyway I changed some naming conventions so there's quite a few files here. Copying the reg...

I have all the files I've modified seperate. That's not an issue. I just didn't want to assume and send the changed files expecting you to put together a scenario directory with everything else that needs to go with them. I'll work on getting them zipped and posted after class tonight.

Thanks

wiltaz

Hmmm how do you want me to do the mod for ease of download and install? I am using the only format I know which is to have a seperate mod directory and point to it with the modpath.ini file. Which means I made a copy of the original game data folders and deleted those files that don't apply because ...

Yes I put this in the modding forum because I don't get this in a standard scenario. Something I've added has caused this error but I don't know what to fix. In the past Pocus has steered me in the right direction. Now that my thread has everyone drunk though not sure if I'll find an answer.

wiltaz

I get this error in my mod when I am in the ledger and click on the reinforcements button. Any idea where in general I should be looking? I know it probably has to do with my forcepool include but not sure what's the issue. I know from prior issues that if you put too many units than a screen can ho...

wiltaz

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. With me having a mod directory so I don't mess up the original scenarios I had to copy the front end files over manually to overwrite the ones I had copied over a few versions back when I created the mod.

wiltaz

I made sure my scenario compiler correctly before installing 1.06d. Now my scenario doesn't compile just like under b. I get this several time at the end of the main log. Is it looking for something that didn't have to be there under 1.06? I noticed new variables for control & retreat were made avai...

All the states that aren't drawn on the map don't have troops. In the mod I'm creating I have included troops from those states and they arrive in nearby cities that are on the map. I just don't include Militia from those states since there are no state regions for them really to protect. But I didn...

Currently to get that kind of detail you have to use flavor brigades which are basically defined as units and arrive through events. The unit files have flavor names and they are used when recruiting units. The models file (where the rgts are coming from) has flavor names but aren't used currently. ...

wiltaz

A unit as defined has a command cost associated with it. It contains x number of models which each have ratings. When models suffer casualities per Pocus in an earlier discussion their ratings take a hit since they aren't full strength. What I'd like to see is the same for command cost. If a Bde is ...

wiltaz

I see Pocus is back so I'm bumping this to the top.

In summary, scenarios that compile in 1.06 fail in 1.06B. I had no luck compiling a scenario no matter what I did under 1.06B. Had to go back to 1.06 just to work on my scenario.

wiltaz

I`m not quite sure what your asking for ? Could you run that past us again please? What I`d like to see in the realism department is the actual unit structure of the period. Here, it's running past you again. :niark: In basic terms I'm looking for the same thing as you I am just trying to make it a...

wiltaz

If I'm understanding your question it has to do with the number of elements a brigade is designed to hold. You can merge two units of the same type when combined they equal the max allowed. Some Militia units are defined that they can have 2 militia units and they are recruited with one so they are ...

wiltaz

While working on a mod for the game I've determined the one thing besides the ability to rename units is we need a brigade level we raise in game similar to a division. I know the basic unit is a brigade with regiments as elements, but hear me out. A brigade command level in game could be raised by ...

wiltaz

Thanks. I don't know much about graphics and being a simpleton was using paint. I saw the white background and thought that was replaced in the program as the transparency. I got a copy of the wife's adobe photoshop and have seen the error of my ways. I have figured out enough to make my symbols.

wiltaz

I've taken the standard Infantry Nato Symbol and saved it under a different name and copied the state abbr. box from the militia symbol. It looks the same as before with the white background color which I assume is defined as the transparency color. But when it's assigned and loaded into the game it...

1.06 works. So something in 1.06B kills the editor.

wiltaz

I plan on trying today after I reinstall to 1.05. I think I found a link to 1.06.

wiltaz

This is really getting crazy. I uninstalled the game completely. Reinstalled with 1.05 and copied in my mod and ran the editor. Got the script report, fixed my errors and the editor then loaded my scenario. I was able to play the scenario. Reran the patch. I got errors loading the save from 1.05. Co...

Has anyone compiled a scenario in the new version? I had a working scenario and I worked on some changes this weekend. I compiled it following the normal steps I've done before but it fails. It just goes to the menu screen with no errors. When I exit out the MainLog in the Logs directory has no erro...

wiltaz

Thanks for clearing that up.

Enjoy your vacation

I'm wondering if some data in the spreadsheets is out to date as it would effect how I make my changes in my mod. The notes attached to the various columns in the models file has some data in them about what should be used in the fields. For OffFire and DefFire it says it should be a value between 0...

I found the events that control the TechUpg so that I understand.

Does the code handle TrainUpg when an element reaches a certain experience? Or should that be handled with an event too?

wiltaz

Anyone?

wiltaz

I've done some further tests on this and I don't see it working. I set it to a value but it's always the generated value that supports the amount of that family on the map. I don't get any errors, so it either does nothing or maybe it sets it and then the code overrides it.

wiltaz

Currituck, VA should really be a region in NC. It's basically drawn right although a small portion of it crosses the NC/VA border, but it should be assigned to NC.
