[Pocus]

UPDATED TO 1.11g, see below.

Yay!
looks like I got home just in time.


Thank you Pocus

[arsan]

Pocus, is the one turn sentry not working with inactive leader problem fix also included here?
Or is it too difficult for a "quickie"
Thanks and regards!

[Pocus]

Should be fixed too.

[Inside686]

Great, I was hoping for this fix.

[ohms_law]

I finished my other game, and started a new one using 1.11e. No problems so far.
Great patch! Thanks Pocus.

[berto]

As you try out 1.11e, please pay special attention to battle casualties.

Are you seeing a good mix of single-day and multi-day battles?

Apply the Goldilocks test to battle losses: Too Little? Too Much? Just Right?

[Pocus]

1.11f is out, with another fix on bombardment procedure, and more.

1.) Completed Ohio Railnet Rework.

2.) Graphically renamed the following Ohio small town names
a.) Franconia to Ottawa
b.) Wooster to Orrville

3.) Corrected Medical Services units to provide +15 cohesion recovery rate (as per the manual). It was incorrectly set to only +5.

4.) $Skirmisher and $Armored abilities added (Thanks to several modders work). Associated models were also reworked to use these new abilities. Summary: the cavalry models now have the $Skirmisher ability and the appropriate naval models now have the $Armored ability. The Skirmisher ability for Cavalry units increases the chance of them withdrawing from battle during the first 4 rounds. Slightly decreased the Evasion ratings to compensate for this new ability.

5.) Camp Dick Robinson units (in Kentucky) moved to their correct starting region (Lincoln, KY).

6.) Corrected a string variable in LocalStrings_ACW associated with "Tutorial: Command Chain Rules"

Since Installing 1.11f Its Not Taking Off The Cost For Replacements

[Pocus]

Will check where these numbers went!

[Inside686]

The unit prices are not shown but not only, they are really free actually.

[Zebedee]

This may be related to cost of replacements, but mentioning it just in case, but the game also seems to be using up every single chit 'bought' (well, acquired as a freebie hehe) as a replacement every turn.

Also, rail and river transportation (bought on economic map) are free.

(1.11f on clean install).

[Pocus]

The bug is fixed. I'm really sorry here, the bug was introduced because I had to change how the costs of things are done in the engine, and although I kept the old ACW format, it seems it was overwritten by the new, whereas it was supposed to be read instead of the new, for AACW.

That is for the lengthy explanation. The short one is that things now work as before in the upcoming AACW patch.

[Pocus]

Here is the fix:

I`ve at turn 2, in the message box the point: "Null" (means in english the number: Zero)...without this everything looks good

[Zebedee]

Looking very nice so far (CSA, April 1861 campaign, late June, 1.11g clean install). Lots of changes to get to grips with - will feed back any combat reports once campaigning proper starts, as Berto requested. Thanks Pocus.

edit: just a little thing I've noticed since the functionality of 'resume game' was fixed (1.11d?). When you exit game, reload and click on resume when playing as CSA, the game loads you up as the Union player. Not sure if this is bug or not, is it to facilitate hot-seat play?

[Caradoc]

Playing a nice new fresh full campaign with the new patch as the Union. Created three corps in the Northern Virginian Army and two were numbered/named as Seventh Corps. Not spoilt the game play just a cosmetic problem.

Yes, the resume function is (again ) broken. But broken in a kind of funny way :
If during play we go back to the main screen, it works fine (and the "R" shortcut also does). If however we close AACW and afterwards load it again, it loads the AI side. AND afterwards, neither the button nor the "R" shortcut do nothing... Definitely a bug, and a rather serious one

Good morning!

Have every general a portrait after this patch?

[ohms_law]

Some of the British generals still don't.

We will check the crash you get Ohms Law.
For the NULL string appearing, I think I know where it comes from.

For the resume bug, I don't get it yet. Played Bull Run, US side, one turn. AI moves (nice flanking btw!). Then I exit. I launch again the game, hit R in the Main Menu and I'm back with the US, as expected.

=> Do you have a way to reproduce the problem.

[ohms_law]

Ohm's_law's game appears to be a game started under a previous version.

True.

By the way, keep up the great work. You post 'em, I'll find the problems and report 'em.

Strange. I will try to get back to you later at night. In the mean time the only thing that comes to mind was that I played just one turn July grand campaign, me playing AS CSA...I did not try it as USA. And it only comes manifest when I closed the game (and the PC) and later fired it all on again...
