Mi pobre memoria :bonk Pues la mía no creas que está mejor! Desde que se congeló el código cada vez que tengo que mirar algo, me cuesta una barbaridad encontrar donde están las líneas del código relevantes.

Muy buenas, tras varios años ausente me ha entrado de nuevo el gusanillo del OG. Estaba actualizando el escenario de alguna antigua campaña pero no se como hacer que las condiciones de victoria sean acumulativas: retirar un número de unidades y al mismo tiempo mantener un VH. Es posible? Yo creo qu...

Thanks for the files allowing to replicate it.

Actually, it is a bug when a unit that is set to follow a unit which also is set to follow another unit.
I'll fix.

It is fixed, sorry

I think I never did so much research for one map. I almost read an entire book about Operation Wintergewitter

Done!
It's available at MapFinder and OG repo

Hi Martin :welcome to Open General forum First, thanks for your offer to add multiplayer support, but I'd like to know more about you, and how would you think this could be done. That is, I'd need to know a bit more precisely how do you think this could be developed; perhaps sharing a sample source ...

:huh I works for me, I've downloaded it myself, and extracted it... --Edited: Maybe your antivirus messes things up? What browser do you use? I use Firefox, with NoScipt running, the download still works. It works for me too, downloaded and extracted (using Chrome) One question: is this to replace ...

How do you suggest?

Another linguistic misunderstanding... it's good that you're making sure. I don't trust automatic translation even more now, when the AI tries to guess what I mean...

:howdy No one used the names for map 457 because nothing there matches... and it's been like this for a long time (maybe from the beginning?)

I fixed to point only to kharkov4 .mapx and .map (needed to use shp files). But when downloading from MapFinder both mapx/map fiels show up duplicated :huh and I don't know why nor how to fix that.

Bug: Open General (25.10.27.1) doesn't like some Leaders! :shock I made a test scenario, or rather a mini-campaign: In the first scenario just move to the VH to win. Now in the second scenario, go to Upgrade, and try changing both units' transports to anything else. On the infantry unit with the 01...

OpenGen 25.10.31.0 available fixing the issue related with skipping units not deployed at invalid positions Some news about the update screen regression : It apparently only happens when there are many core units (which is probably why nobody else spotted it). I'm working right now on a small and qu...

Suite 25.10.31.0 available

Added leaders to RangeEval for spot and range (but not attachments)

Open General 25.09.06.0 (and following?) does not like when there is 0/0 in "location". Even for units still in HQ. :doh Indeed, that was something I do not even remember to have done!, but yest I commented out a line avoiding that. Will be fixed in next update ... along the coming years :P

Suite also doesn't consider attachments when display unit range - movement (maybe Leaders as well). Indeed, that has always been so, Suite doesn't take account of attachments and Leaders. :dunno I'll check what I can do :huh I've checked this and the reason is that Suite doesn't load the effective ...

I don't know if its possible, AI ATY should shoots first, then the inf or tanks attack a target. It will be more realistic and sure more challenging. But it is done that way already :huh Artillery that can fire after move or with a phase movement moves and fire after infantry, tanks... Are you sure...

I'll check what I can do

Yes, I agree giving recon attachment phased movement, was a terrible idea :bonk so I've uploaded 25.10.27.1 version rolling it back, which will be available tomorrow. Also, I've finished updating all efiles using yet old SCN format to use the new XSCN which will be available in the Installer and all...

OpenSuite updated will be available tomorrow, fixing the glitch reported in the protos dialog

:howdy The time frame for prototypes has been raised to 50 months now. In fact, it works (you can enter) up to 60 months (as I requested). However, for everything to be "perfect" --> is what I marked in red consistent with expectations? True !!! ... Anyway, it should work as you wanted, a...

Where can I find that updated Open Suite? :huh It is not included in the Core files, and on Luis' "tools" page I only see the download for the previous (September) Open Suite. I won't download the whole full installer just to get Open Suite... Can get from Open General website (updated pa...

I don't know if it is Windows or there is something wrong with the latest Suite 25.10.27.0.

OpenGen 25.10.27.0 available with these changes. Recon attachment now makes any unit to move phased Recon attachment was not used for scouting phase. Now it is ised if AI 3.0 AI 3.0 now uses more pulses when scouting time frame for prototypes is raised to 50 months now I had no time yet to convert a...

All changes that will be made will only affect AI 3.0, right? So campaigns using AI 2.0 will be unaffected by any changes? Actually, I am thinking on gathering all core used by AI 3-0 to a new set of files as AI 3.1 While digging the code to find all instances of 'kamikaze', 'fearless' and moving a...

What about the remaining mp? 50% is used to allow the recon to move later to a safer position when it finishes in a danger position We are talking about AI 3.0 dev (development?). That means it can change in the future and designers should be aware if this. That's right, as far as nobody used (or i...

AI 3.0 - Efile GUS Recon by helicopter. Helicopter has a phase movement 13 and visibility = 5 plus recon attachment. Visibility good. It moves only 2 hexes. A ground recon at the same time moves 2 times by 3 hexes each instead. I would expect that hello will move 3,4 or 5 hexes and repeat it 2-3 ti...

I am working to analyze these issues, but debugging (even checking) air units used by the AI is very time-consuming as it can scan more than 3000 positions and evaluate many combats for a single plane in a turn, so be patient please. As you know, the AI ponders all possible locations to move and all...

:howdy I moved your post to this new topic to allow discussing AI questions. Do remember that it is a must for me to have files to test any AI behavior reported: the active .cfg file and a saved file. Edited: It is very important to enable the AI log to allow me to analyze all positions checked by A...

Hello Luis
I have a request.
Is it possible to change the maximum value entered in the prototype selection window from 12 to 60 months?

I would be very grateful.

Wow, 5 years for protos is a long time ahead

I'll check Suite and Game as soon as I get back next weekend

:howdy In fact, map number 1588 is not downloading from the OG server. http://www.open-general.com/MapJpg/1588.jpg --> error 404. It can be downloaded from the Polish server. http://www.opengeneral.pl/map/1588.jpg It is fixed! I don't know why but this map was not uploaded to OG server, my apologizes

I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. :doh I thought that you meant OpenSuite regardless you wrote PG2 Suite :bonk The link I posted is actually for OpenSuite, which is the tool to edit OG files (not PG2 files) regardless it can load PG2 files to convert to OG. To load, edit and save PG2 files you nee...

Yes, each keyboard allows different key combos ... but did that option solve your issue ?

to OG forums

Have you tried https://www.open-general.com/install/OpenSuite.zip
I've just checked and it works.

OK, Grzegorz, I trust you about the copyright!

Thus, I'll fix all .SCN as ,XSCN in all 4 efiles and will commit them to the server in order to make this issue over definitively.

:welcome Odium Side note: when I tried the release candidate .exe from the current installer package, it made the e-file work, even with old saves (OLGWW2).[/i][/b] The only thing not working was the AUTOSAVE.

farbion wrote: ↑2025-10-06 13:31, Monday JEven putting the lower possible resolution the icons are still to small for a comfortable play.

Any solution for this problem?

After doing what Sympatyk wrote, can zoom in the icons by pressing <Alt+> (pressing both 'Alt' and '+' keys) to scale up to 300%

:howdy generals The truth is that OLGWW2 and OLGCW efiles has been kind of a pimple in the ass, to say frankly. From the time the designer and owner got angry with me and Juankar for the use of the official OG icon (we disagreed to use OG icon for Latins General), he claimed his work was copyrighted...

:huh I am working out to fix an issue found out by Jaro. When a unit is set to follow another one with a higher global unit number, and you remove one or more units with lower global unit number than the leading (kind of dynamic objective) unit, the link is broken between the follower units and the ...

Thanks for the clarification. Should Kowdar or Csaba do something? (server malfunctioning) No server malfunctioning ... it was my fault :bonk Luckily, Kowdar saved my day !!!

Yes, servers are checked according to that list, but OG (and Suite in the next version) tries to access all the servers in the list first to set up the definitive list of...

I think the reason for these issues is that open-general.com server is checked before the .pl one and since the las break down it is never reached returning a 301 HTTP error code, which is surely due to the internal mapping of the folder where the maps are actually allocated.

What I use most is fast scrolling, by keeping [Ctrl] pressed and then move the mouse. It is actually very useful on bigger maps, 3K and above. Maybe this can be added to the list of hotkeys in the game? But this is unrelated to my find that [Ctrl] + [x] deletes a leader but also enables fast scroll...

But, next time someone want to set a custom avatar, please post the image (PNG file 32 bits, the best) and send me a PM (as Sympatyk suggested) otherwise I can easily miss the request.
