Not very Polish update, but I created a new country called "Kingdom of Romania", with a new roundel, etc., because the "normal" Romania has a bunch of Panzers and StuG's in its inventory, which would not really fit the alternative history. Once I add the hypothetical units they'd...

Note that I do have the matching weight filter on, but it does nothing...

RoyalBengalTiger

I tried a different efile and found the same thing... https://i.ibb.co/27YNMf63/og1.png What I found is that the tank cannot have a transport defined when I add it as a unit to a scenario, but then when I right click click on it after it's deployed on the map, I can assign any transport to it. It ha...

RoyalBengalTiger

I'm building the campaign as I'm going, so I don't have the before/after save.
The EFile itself is under construction too at this point....

And yes, it's a prototype that is as a reward for a BV.

P.S. How does one attach files on the forum anyways?

RoyalBengalTiger

I have the same config...

RoyalBengalTiger

Don't want to start a new topic over this, but I have prototypes with 0 transport weight getting a transport attached. My last one that popped up was a tracked tank destroyer proto which got a half-track transport assigned. How to guarantee that this won't happen? I thought having zero set will mean...

In total there are 181 users online :: 2 registered, 0 hidden and 179 guests Looks like they got bored. If AI does progress based on what we write here, then it'll be cool for people to learn that Poland developed a tank destroyer with a naval gun in late 1944. Also, didn't giant ants invade the Wes...

How are these guests identified?
Is there like an IP address tied to them or something?

Building a mission.
I'd like to spoil more, but this will have to do.

Buduję misję.
Bym chciał więcej zdradzić, ale tyle musi wystarczyć.

Gaaaah, of course they have an alpha channel.

I'll be back when I remove it...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all.
How to fix this up?

This is probably the last thing I can't figure out to get everything working.

RoyalBengalTiger

Small little update. Got the transport weights pretty much revamped. I'm also adding high speed towed options for the 155 mm wz 40 and the 220 mm wz 32. This is because the 25 ton tractor (C25P, the hypothetical artillery tractor made from the 25TP tank) will have a strengthened version with a rathe...

RoyalBengalTiger

Small little update to show signs of life. I'm reworking the transport score system a bit. It was just a bit wonky, and I'd see very heavy guns use the same light weight high speed trucks as the 37 mm Bofors AT. I'm scoring it so there is a category for light artillery, slow, light artillery, fast (...

RoyalBengalTiger

Is there a way to edit this stuff in a text editor?
I guess I can manually fix it...

Tried re-saving as a different file and it did not correct the issues.

EDIT: Now the incorrect names did show in the editor, after loading from the re-saved file. I changed it and this time it saved correctly.

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all, When I have a name set up in the editor, it does not work in the mission: https://i.ibb.co/FLcQPhSK/name-bug.png How to fix this? It seems several units have it wrong. Brygada Poscigowa should be the name of the fighter plane, not the artillery. The fighter has it wrong, it has the na...

The geopolitics and strategies of WW 2 in the alternate reality. The first mission is getting ready to be tested, I'm about going to have correct unit names - only down to the division size, no companies or platoons. So there will be a 28DP (28 Dywizja Piechoty) in the first mission, and several mor...

RoyalBengalTiger

A bit stuck again. How does a mission where the campaign branches out work? I see there is an xsch thingy, how to make it so that if mission A is a tactical victory, then it goes to B and then to C, while if mission A is better than tac vic, then it goes directly to C. I'm setting the stage for wher...

I'm happy on Mint on the laptop.
Disclaimer - still did not get around to swapping systems on the big PC yet.

Wooooow Fajne rzeczy. Jak szukam map to próbuję w tej samej stylistyce co oryginalne w Panzer General 2. No i drugie główne kryterium to żeby było w miastach na tyle miejsca że mogą się stworzyć obszary o różnych właścicielach w czasie bitwy. No i miasta są wielokrotnie większe od wsi. No i z ikonka...

RoyalBengalTiger

I will fix the naming on the old map. Warsaw is about 15-20 km across in 1935 (plus another couple km of suburban villages), so the new map does not give it justice if we use the rule of thumb that hexes are 2 km across (it fits in just 5 hexes on the new map and in 12 on the old one). https://uploa...

Since I do not want to spoil the story of the campaign, I'll tell a different story. I was talking with my dad and showing him what I'm up to here, and he found that the rivers in the Warsaw map are wrong. http://mapfinder.gilestiel.eu/images/real/349.jpg (again the image embedding thing is drunk or...

Good to know.

Small little update. I kicked out the 10TP before, because it was to be cancelled anyways. I'm bringing it back because the prototype was actually built. It'll be not for purchase, but existing as 1 unit in the core. I also added this little guy: http://derela.pl/7TP_TKS.jpg (for some reason the ima...

RoyalBengalTiger

Thanks, I will fix that.

RoyalBengalTiger

Just to have something to show for now...

RoyalBengalTiger

Found it thanks.

I guess it will soooon be time to post some in game screenshots.

RoyalBengalTiger

Update: I just finished creating units for the new icons I made. There is a total of 57 units that use the new icons. There will be multiple more which use existing icons too, but I have no easy way to count. Now I just need to clean up the dates, transport weights and prices a bit (all other stats ...

Looks like the unit roster is close to being complete. I did the air transports recently, there will be the Fokker F.VII and the PZL.44 Wicher. The 44 looked like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/PZL_Wicher_1.jpg/1024px-PZL_Wicher_1.jpg Only the prototype was built, it...

RoyalBengalTiger

These are actually cool effects. I'll need to do a couple campaigns with plentiful level bombers.

What does the dispersing look like, does the unit just retreat to the next hex?

RoyalBengalTiger

New question:

What does bomb size do?
I see that level bombers have weak attack stats, but a non-zero bomb size listed...

RoyalBengalTiger

I might be making new icons maybe... There was a plane project called RWD-24, and this one exists in the efile as a scout plane. It was the land based version of the RWD-22, which was a float plane scout/torpedo bomber. The -22 exist in 3 editions as an icon - bomber, recon and torpedo. Here's the -...

RoyalBengalTiger

Update. Poland had quite a few self propelled armored artillery vehicles in 1939. I'm not talking about tank based SPG's, but trains. There were 2 squadrons of armored trains, and I found at least 5 improvised trains (with everything from 47 mm saluting guns, 75 mm artillery guns on lightly armored ...

If damage is done, i edit it in suite, because it is not a mistake, just some bad luck with too fast klicks. Isn't it overkill to edit the game in the suite? :shock Never even thought of that solution for this problem (I ran into blowing the wrong field instead of moving to it as well of course).

It was 10 000 views so recently, now it's over 11 000. Quite a few people visit here. I did kick out a few recon vehicles, those made by CWS that in the efile are available in the early 1940's. The PZInz 303 exists, and the CWS had no scout car projects that I can find. I'm doing the dual purpose un...
