BOA2 : Patch 1.05 (Public Beta)

[lodilefty]

Lodi, just to be clear - I should eliminate Ranger_Pathfinding but keep Pontooner and Ranger_Survival in my model?

Thanks, Chris

Yes, that's what we did with Battoemen. It's simply a choice of which ability we want to emphasize

[ham]

Where is the patch ?

[arsan]

In the oven
It had some problems and was removed. The problems are being fixed and the new beta patch is being tested so hopefully it will be posted soon

Oh,thank you for your reply

[GlobalExplorer]

Any news on the patch? I'm desperately waiting for the improved attrition.

[arsan]

Hi!
Unfortunately, the patch is delayed as the game coordinator, Lodilefty, has some temporal real life difficulties that don't let him time to "coordinate" the beta patch.
Hopefully he will be back around here in a couple of weeks or so and things will get moving again

I hate real life sometimes!

I hope everything is all right. Nothing bad?

My wife broke her ankle, and some complications set in, requiring hospitlization. Keeps me busy visiting and managing the household [or at least my version of caring for the household ]

As Arnold would say "I'll be back"

[TiFlo]

Oh, ok. Let's wish her a quick recovery then

[tagwyn]

Where does one locate this wonderful patch so as to be able to use it? t

[arsan]

Well, reading the thread should give you a good answer Tag

Hi all

Just a quick question

I installed patch 1.05 with CTD bug , will I need to completely install game again once definitive 1.05 will be posted or new patch will fix everything ?

Thanks

[arsan]

Most probably the next patch will solve the issue without the need of a reinstall.
But i'm not so sure if you can go back to 1.04c by installing this older patch over a 1.05 installation if you are having CTD

[GlobalExplorer]

Anything new? It seems it's not patching season at Ageod ...

[Rafiki]

There are still some issues that need to be addressed, but the work is progressing

[GlobalExplorer]

Thanks, I was beginning to think you'd completely forgotten.

[TiFlo]

Do you guys need additional beta testers to speed up the process?

Right now it's me slowing the process

Just got a pre-beta executable and some bug fixes. I have to recompile all scenarios to accomodate the fixes, then submit data package to Hok to prep the patch. Not much anyone can do to help, as extra hands just cause confusion during this part of the process. Thanks for the offer!

[SIZE="1"]I'm squeezing this in while caring for my wife [broken ankle], so please be patient. [/size]

[TiFlo]

No problem, there's no hurry.

Speedy recovery to your wife first, the lack of a patch is not life threatening anyway

Broken ankle? She's got two of them doesn't she and we've only got one BoA2 that needs patching! Okay, kidding aside, take care of the family first!

dum-di-dum

[Rafiki]

I know that it can be frustrating to wait for a patch that never seems to arrive, but it is my honest opinion that it would be fair to cut Lodilefty and Hok some slack on this

Well, perhaps it's "make new, shiny games with features that perhaps may be backported to existings games"-season?

I just finished playing the 1775 scenario to its conclusion and noticed the Spanish player receives a huge number of line and militia replacements. Also they receive a large number of "goods" replacements. I am wondering if those should have been supply units instead.

Anyway, just an observation.

Looking forward to 1.05

Thanks

Hmmm. I see nothing in the DB to explain "goods" replacements..

Could you zip and upload the saved game?
Please include at least two previous turns [Backup1, Backup2]

Thanks!

[joe]

Hi Lodilefty, I checked my saved folder and nothing is there. I don't think I deleted anything but I just got Vista so I'm not sure where things are.

My test of the 1775 scenario went very far beyond the normal end of the game. On average I received 6 Spanish line replacements, 2 militia, 2 arty and 2 unknown replacements ( that used the "goods" icon) per turn.

I tested the 1778 grand scenario and it looked ok. I received 4 Spanish Line and 4 militia for the entire scenario, although the French only received one line replacement. The only odd thing was I was getting 1 USA Art per month.

I do have a question concerning the frequency of replacements. If it has Turn 0, does that mean they are supposed to receive it each month or only once?

Thanks

Joe

If you mean TurnIndex 0, that is January [silly computer: months are 0-11 ]

[joe]

Thanks Lodilefty, I couldn't remember the exact phrase but that's it.

Lodilefty, I thought I would follow-up on my previous post regarding Spanish replacements.

I think I found what caused the two "goods" icon replacements. If you look at the 1776 Campaign events under SpainatWar, go to the SelectRegion = $Yatachez and you will see Replacement = SPA;$Militia;2.

I deleted "Replacement = SPA:$Militia:2" and that eliminated those 2 replacements showing up as "Unknown" on the replacement screen using the "goods" icon.

And just for my own use, to avoid the monthly influx of Spanish replacements,
I added a once a year turn index for the Galvez, Trazabal, SanRamon81 and Caribbean events in the 1776 Campaign events. There is still plenty of replacements doing that.

This is minor stuff but I thought I would just follow-up.

Thanks

Thanks! These wil be fixed in upcoming patch

note: the 'leader replacements' were generated because
$Militia" is not a defined family, and the engine theus defaults to family type = 0, which is Leader !!!
