Need Help with EFILE making

Aries No Mu · Post by **Aries No Mu** » 2021-02-15 22:09, Monday

I'm making a modified AK EFILE to test a BS movement table.
(btw... BS stands for BetterSimulation and not for BlitzStoper)

But I must have done something stupid...

@ Aries
...although Wheeled movement clearly says that it can use roads - in reality Wheeled units refuse to enter a bridge ( a inf can only enter a bridge with the transport left behind)...

These are the problematic files

* Terrain type, base-entrenchment, initiative-cap, supply-factor, allow-bridge
* supply factor is a ratio (2 mean half): can be empty or 0 for full supply
* allow-bridge can be empty or zero to be default (no bridge); set to 1 to allow bridge 
* avoid_mech-landing restrict units using Mech Movement from landing
* - Mech Movement is any of: TRACK,HALF_TRACK, WHEEL, ALL_TERRAIN or AMPHIBIOUS
* First 3 parameters (type/entrench/inititiative) must be defined,
* while supply-factor and allow-bridge take default values if omitted (4 for SAND, zero for rest).

I think if terrain is set to 255=not allowed, then you have to activate the scenario option “Allow roads on any terrain”, but not sure. Try it out!

Not sure, but I think the red numbers need to be changed to 254.
255 is impassable - 254 can be passed, but only in several individual steps.
Leg (INF) has 254 - Wheeled has 255 -> it is logical that the INF and the vehicle must separate before entering the river.
Towed will have the same problem.
Try the combination of INF and Hafttracked -> do you have a problem when crossing rivers?

It is okay to use the setting 255. It just means you have to use bridges or bridging units to cross rivers.
Depends on the level of realism you want to use.
My guess would be “Allow roads on any terrain” at scenario settings, what Golothin mentioned

It worked like a charm
