AACW {public beta} patch 1.16 RC4 December 10, 2010

[lodilefty]

Latest. Hope for final before Christmas!

http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/temp/patch_AACW_v1.16rc4.zip

Since RC3:

a) model detail window in new version, should fix the abi text/CTD issue
b) the name under brackets is the division name
c) stack merging message should be ok
*d) stacks can keep much better their initial setup name, but only if you regenerate the scenario for this feature to work (there is a kind of memory on the initial setup name, it adds flavor!)

[color="Blue"]*Note: for 1.16 RC4, item d) is only enabled for the 1861 April and 1861 April w/ KY Campaigns startups. It will only work in saved games for new groups arriving "by event"[/color]

Would it be excessive if I said I love you ?

(PS: about point d): do you mean that both April 1861 scenarios have already been regenerated ?)

Yes.

Thank you

Divisions are now as they should be, IMHO, and the CTD in the model detail window seems to be gone; thank you VERY much

Not wanting to be a pain , but how about the other minor related "issue" - eg, brigades merged with a leader being referred to by the leader's name repeated twice (see example in pic), instead of: "leader name (brigade name)" ?. Any chance that this will be corrected, if not here than maybe in RoP/RUS/PoN ? Or is this WAD ?

(reported in RUS in this thread http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=19573&page=2, see post #36).

Nevertheless, as regards AACW, things are GREAT, I never expected so many continued improvements !!

Lodilefty,

Can we can patch right over rc3 without putting previously saved rc3 games at risk? No need for clean install?

Not ready to commit to love, but I am quite favorably inclined towards you, Gray and Pocus

Though we are a fickle bunch should a bug rear its ugly head

[von Sachsen]

Thank you! Just one thing I can see: In the replacement screen, the symbol for light infantry has been replaced by the one for irregulars and the one for skirmishers by the one for light infantry.

Lodilefty,

I did install RC4 over RC3 and I am playing a saved RC3 game, without apparent problems. Should be considered a test, but everything is going smooth - and points a,b and c seem to work nicely even on a saved game.

Nevertheless, when 1.16 final gets out I will definitely make a clean reinstall

Yes, confirmed.

Though we are a fickle bunch

I wouldn't say fickle, but "full of love" ...

Fixed for next version

Still RC 3. I couldn't post this possible bug there as you have closed the topic so I will do it here.
Playing on hard activation rules. So when someone is inactive he can get a lock icon. What is strange is that messeges don't make any sense. Load my last turn and near the end it says that McCllelan's force (going brigade by brigade) are now active but they are not. This happened before but I didn't pay attention.

I'd like to see force levels returned.
Ie:1000 men for infantry, 600 for cav......

With hard activation there is a chance that a General will unlock (generating the messages), immediately fail his activation again and lock up again immediately.

um, where?

Edit:
Oh, If you are talking about the old, worn out, beat-to-death debate about "men per hit", then AFAIK, the answer is NO.

...fertile ground for a mod: have at it

Thanx for clearing it out. I went to 1862 and I am stll very satisfied with Athena.
If I change settings during my current game, will they apply for that game? For example I wish to up rebel agressivnes.

A minor graphic glitch happened in my current game, started as CSA in RC3, continued in RC4. For no apparent reason, forces that I did not move and that were not attacked changed their position in the map, almost appearing outside the region they are actually in.

In the pics, notice how the Corps of Polk appears outside Alexander, IL, and Price's command appears outside Rolla. I can manually change their position back to the center of the region, though

Save attached, but I am not sure when it happened.

This may not even be a new issue, and the main reason I am reporting it is because it may be an AGE engine issue, that could affect other newer games.

Regards

Weird. When I restored previous turn and re-ran it, Polk remains in the 'correct' position......

I guess we'll just have to watch for it to see if this recurs....
