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...

RoyalBengalTiger

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...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN-In8SURsI That's how I have my laptop set up (WIN 10 & Mint). I'll be swapping my desktop to this dual boot thing too (WIN 11 & soon Mint as well). I'm swapping because my WIN 11 has a 70 GB system folder, and Linux Mint Cinnamon (the version of Mint with th...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all, I'm building this little campaign and I have map #147 Bzura River. There is a .map file, and a .txt file with descriptions of names for special hexes on http://mapfinder.gilestiel.eu/. How do I either make a mapx file or at least insert the descriptions into the scenario in the OpenEd...

Dobrze wiedzieć.
Good to know.

RoyalBengalTiger

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 ...

RoyalBengalTiger

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 -...

And another update... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/US_Army_Artillery_Museum_-_121.jpg/800px-US_Army_Artillery_Museum_-_121.jpg?20190112195544 It just happens to be that the artillery train from the last episode had the same guns as the above SPG. While the SPG was never ...

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 ...

RoyalBengalTiger

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).

RoyalBengalTiger

Double post, but it is what it is. Found another gem...

RoyalBengalTiger

I have a plan for the campaign, it's not detailed down to every scenario. I'm still browsing maps and working out a detailed story that will fit what's available. I saw there is a map of Lodz, Krakow, Vilnius, Warsaw of course, and many others. It will be a semi-realistic story starting with general...

RoyalBengalTiger

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...

RoyalBengalTiger

I know, I'm only doing big edits to Poland. And even then I try to limit the scope to a couple days per unit type, a lot of which is replacing icons for vehicles. I have infantry, AT, AA, DP, tanks all done in the first iteration, then I'll revisit and check for mistakes, but that should be quicker....

RoyalBengalTiger

UPDATE: I'm mostly done with infantry. No more marine special forces. There was a regular marine infantry battalion though, so regular marines exist. The marine infantry battalion had sapper unit. This unit was added to the efile. National guard renamed (gwardia narodowa -> obrona narodowa). This is...

RoyalBengalTiger

Update: Finding bugs such as the 100 mm Canet having the same range as the 100 mm wz 14/19, even though it had 4 km more range in reality... Then the Ur had an HA of 7, while the PIAT had 6, even though the PIAT can drill through much thicker armor. These are important, because Poland got PIATs deli...

RoyalBengalTiger

I found a missing a gun in Gustlik's efile that existed in reality. This is very, very rare. I'm working on the 25TP's stats, and it was to use the 75 mm wz. 22 originally. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Dzialo_75_mm_Bateria_plot._Hel.jpg So, I looked over at the AT guns to see ...

RoyalBengalTiger

I never thought this would make such a big topic with so many answers, all of which are different, and all of which are correct.... Even if I set the keyboard to Polish, Gustlik's campaign still has the wonky symbols. I'll have the unitpedia and the campaign briefings/debriefings in both languages. ...

Follow up sort of... Polish letters, such as ąęśćż do not seem to work. Use closest one in the normal alphabet, or is there a way to fix it?

RoyalBengalTiger

I'm working on EquipIcons. I found Gustlik's file already has a bunch of icons not listed on the OG icon search. I guess it'll just have to be a whole package of the equipment file to go with the campaign. Then all y'all can add the ones I made to the official database, and/or modify them to make th...

RoyalBengalTiger

Found it! Thanks.

Time to add a bunch of things to the EquipIcons.

RoyalBengalTiger

New question...

The icons have descriptions when viewing in the modding tools.

How do I add these descriptions to icons in the icon tool?

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all, update. I put about 50 new icons into the EFile. Now I'm getting the unit stats to work. Gustlik's file will get chopped up a bit, as there are some vehicles that did not have an existing chassis, so that's my cutoff in terms of realism. The best that would remain is for example the 2...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all, Sorry for not posting much recently, was out traveling and then had to go back to work while sleeping 4 hrs a day due to time zone differences. Anyways... Not much of an icons or anything update, but rather some research that I did. I'm revising the 14TP a bit, Poland used the 37 mm B...

RoyalBengalTiger

Alright, so what are the special traits? Is there a list somewhere? And yes, this is how it was done in Gustlik's efile. I'm already done doing some changes, but I'd like to know the reasons why some things are done a certain way before doing more changes... I'll read the Polish forums too when I ge...

Greetings all! Just a small update to show this project is progressing. I'm busy working through the efile - basing off Gustlik's. There is a lot of equipment that seems to be missing, the 202 and 222 half tracks - along with their variants - do not feature much. There is also a lot of fictional veh...

RoyalBengalTiger

Sort of an update... Before the forums crashed, I made a post about PZInz 303. The car had a 45 HP engine, up from the 25 HP on the most modern version of the Wz 34 armored car. There was a project to make the 303 into an armored scout: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvcd...

RoyalBengalTiger

Yeah, I'm looking through it and there will be Vilnius and a couple of others that used to be in Poland but are currently not.

This will take a while to write a storyline in detail and put all the maps in sequence, and then set the battles up.

I'll write something if I'm stuck.

RoyalBengalTiger

Small little update... The 25TP had a commander's cupola in some renderings. The cast turret version with the 90 and the 105 have been updated to match this. The welded turret and the cast turret with the 75 mm will stay as they were, with periscopes only (although those are less than a pixel, so th...

RoyalBengalTiger

OK, thanks.
90 maps for Poland, that is an amazing collection.

I have info to get going without getting stuck probably.
This will be fun.

Can anyone check what's going on?

I got to the point where I need to load a map, but I got stuck because I can't make my map collection for the campaign.

RoyalBengalTiger

I also don't have enemy spotted territory marked. I do look how far they can see (especially radar or observation posts) and I try to guesstimate how far to stay away. Having too many icons over the map just takes away from immersion. Contrary to the original game, the various long sight range units...

RoyalBengalTiger

Greetings all,

Is there any tutorials out there how to use the editor to make a campaign?
I'm starting from scratch here, so something that shows which buttons to press to load a map, to place units on the map, turns, prestige, events (new units showing up on map, etc).... would be very helpful.

RoyalBengalTiger

Feature request - Submarines should be able to go below surface ships, using the same logic as airplanes go above ground units. Currently I can prevent a sub from getting away by surrounding it with landing craft. Bonus points if this capability cannot be used in shallow ocean (shallow sea?) terrain.

RoyalBengalTiger

Testing, testing.... Seems like the last few posts are missing, or is it just me? I thought it was 2 pages. Anyways, while the forum was down, I was working a bit. I found out that there were a couple 105 mm guns used to defend Hel (one 'L', not two). This was the Dutch battery, the guns were called...
