Open General Forums

Hello, thanks for answering so quickly! No, I don't speak Spanish, I speak Romanian :) Actually in PeG I am interested, I am more familiar with it. I am not sure I understood what is Open General. As you didn't mention PeG I thought you were interested in PG1 and PG2 :huh OpenGeneral (the reason fo...

Hello! Tidying in the attic I came across the PG1 and PG2 game CDs. Last century :lol I used to play them quite often and I really liked them. Now I searched the internet and to my surprise and joy, I came across this forum. Trying to load the games, I came across a list of files of various types I...

Note: I thought I would not be able to make more of these announcements because by the second half of March I lost my old machine / companion. Purchased and assembled the components myself back in April 2014. Served with distinction for nearly 11 years... The machine I'm using now is only working b...

Feliz Pascua de Resurrección ... for you all, from Sevilla

Thank you Kowdar, it seems to me that forum runs smoother now

I'm sorry if my previous post was something rough :bonk I do apologize. First a funny one: For some reason when I deploy composite submarines (submarine in a naval transport), the game asks if they should be put into (yet another) naval transport! :lol Doesn't matter besides the "WTF" mome...

:) because - luckily - there are no air-containers ... :huh I'm suspecting there is a misunderstanding about what I meant: I mean deploying non-airplane units into hangars , not composite units like the composite submarines! :lol I do not think that I am misunderstanding you, the point is that I ha...

I see no way to let OG knowing when you want to deploy a unit in a container or you want to un-deploy the container when you click on it. :notsure Why, how does it work for planes? It does put them into containers just fine. :huh :) because - luckily - there are no air-containers ... Well, I'm no d...

First a funny one: For some reason when I deploy composite submarines (submarine in a naval transport), the game asks if they should be put into (yet another) naval transport! :lol Doesn't matter besides the "WTF" moment, because you can still deploy them--if you don't decide to add yet a...

There is " 178 - Tarakan - Borneo ", and there is " 1570 - Tarakan 3k - Indonesia "... :huh This is a difficult one, Borneo actually being an island divided into 3 countries (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia), but whatever you choose the two Tarakans should be in the same category. I...

Of course I'll do ...

Tomorrow will be available an updated version (both within the full installer and as special EFILE_pzLIGA.zip) including an empty SAVE folder

Sorry for delay, real life sometimes is very demanding

Could you please (next time you edit Open Suite) add a little warning in the scenario selection menu of the campaign screen? I'm pretty proficient with Open Suite, but new users might be stumped why their new campaign doesn't work. Of course I'll do, but limiting to 20 chars the file names defined ...

Is this a bug or a feature? Anyway: Test scenario for the Upgrade Screen bug . Unzip in my old Efile's scenario fo...

Not a bug, rather a question. Was custom weather supposed to work? Apparently it does work (there is weather, although I can't say if it's my custom one or the one in the scenario file), but each time I quit OpenGen_0.93.5 RC6c (30 May 2024) , I find a Notepad telling me " Bad weather data poi...

Sorry for delay, but I was travelling last week. I've already see why what happens but I must check how fix it without affecting previous fixes :-? The reason of the bug is that this scenario doesn't include the map size but I have to check more deeply how to fix better. Be patient please :howdy

Open General Version 25.02.01.0 ( 1-Feb-2025 ) released

Game crashed after deployment in the scenario following a choice one,

OpenSuite Version 25.02.01.0 is also available with no changes (only updated version to be the same than OG)

But why did it not crash in previous versions of the game? It only happened with the newest version. The (map) pictures I use for the choice scenarios have the same size for a very long time (years). Good question :yes Yes, both latest RC6c and 21.11.8.0 work fine, it is ver 24.12.10.0 who started ...

Sounds promising! Because most of the aux units are not visible at deployment. They are nowhere to be seen. Fingers crossed :ihope :yes I was right, the choice's map size was responsible for the crash, when some unit deployed was out of the choice's map area. :banana That explains why it did not ha...

:idea Browsing the code I think that I've found which, probably, is the reason of the crashing, after a choice scenario. Maybe the choice's map size is kept when loading units, instead of updating the size to the proper one, and then some units are not properly configured as the loader assume they a...

As reported before, I have the same problem, but only in a scenario directly after a choice scenario. After deployment the game immediately crashes to the desktop. This started to happen after the update to the newest version of OG. Since nobody seems to play other campaigns with choice scenario I ...

So far I have restarted the campaign and reinstalled twice but on the Battle of Hel it crashes to desktop after deployment is complete. I can upload a save file if that would help.

Yes, thanks for the reply. I know where the resolution is changing, and I've changed it. The default was Full HD and it's too small for me. I have set a different resolution. Now when I start the game, it is displayed in the center of the screen and there are black fields around it. At the same tim...

Do I understand correctly? A player can only have 15 leaders at most First thing to understand clearly is that we speak about leaders somehow ambiguously. Each player has 15 leaders slots, but that player can have more than 15 units having a leader, if several units share the same slot. When do uni...

Merry Christmas PeG generals !

Merry Christmas guys

Hello Luis :howdy Choice scenarios (xsch) do not work anymore. They appear in the game like normal, I choose one of the options, but then the next scenario is not working, (most) aux units are not shown in the game and the game crashes after deployment. Since I already played the first choice scena...

[*]Scenario title failing to show up in AAR should be fixed. This does not work for me. At least not with the current run of the campaign. Yes, it is a mystery to me why I get the title in my AAR and you cannot get it. The scenario title is only retrieved with a function which is called every time ...

Sorry Szperacz, that I didn't read this before :bonk Are there any chances of making OG open source (on a license which keeps it in your hands)? No pressure, I'm just wondering about it. :nyet in the short time, I prefer to keep everything under control. And if you would loose the interest in the pr...

:howdy Thanks for the answer oh again misunderstanding, sorry ... I'm not talking about gaining leaders ... We play a campaign --> we have 12 core leaders after x scenario We enter the next scenario (x+1) Support units were assigned 5 leaders by the creator of the campaign 12 + 5 = 17 Will these 2 ...

Actually I was not aware that assigning a leader to a class not allowed was possible, as it is/was really a kind of bug. Allowing fortification class to get leaders would solve this issue, but that certainly would make other side effects as normally efiles do not assign "No leader" efile ...

I know that the fortification class cannot earn a leader but in previous versions of the exe/suite a leader could be assigned to a fortification unit. Now, that leader disappears when the game is opened. Why can't forts earn leaders? This can be set at an efile level if a designer wants to prevent ...

Done!
CC Packs subfolder and CC Pack Special packages include now both the PG2 compatible format campaigns and also those campaigns converted to OG format.

If anyone finds any issue, please post or send me a PM in order to fix.

:bullhorn I've converted all CC campaigns to OG format (.xcam and .xscn) and thus CC Packs subfolder and CC Pack Special packages include now both the PG2 compatible format campaigns and also those campaigns converted to OG format. If anyone finds any issue, please post here in order to fix. :howdy

Luis, if you are already reminiscing about the old days - please - tell me --> How did it happen that you started making a new game engine, an alternative to PG2? Wow, this is long story, starting after summer 2008. Those days the PG2 community wanted more and more features and a better AI and only...

:howdy Oh, these language barriers The question was --> whether using .map and .scen files (included in CC) you can download them and play in a "clean" PG2 (of course, having the files in the right directories - including - .shp files) I also understand that you intend to delete files tha...

:howdy For those who have been playing CC "forever" this is probably irrelevant, but for those who haven't played yet --> it's a big help :clap :clap :clap Is the current CC playable with PG2, with .shp files? --> is it prepared to play with "early" OG? (.jpg, .png files) :nyet ...

Just a question, no request to change something :lol Because it just happend in the curret scenario again: When in the AI turn an enemy plane flies over my air defence and gets surprised and destroyed, it is not counted in the kills right? This irks me for many years now and i just want to ask if t...

Still stumped ... cannot find any reason and cannot replicate either :thud As a side effect of testing different efiles, I am thinking on updating CC Pack subfolder to replace all files: .cam .scn and .map by their converted: .xcam/-xscn files, avoiding any problem related to missing .map files. I'l...
