sleep-event for Germany's old guard for 1.3

[Hallsten]

Just like the title says I've updated the sleep-event to match the new German generals in the 1.3 patch...

EDIT: This event works with both HOI2 and HOI2 Doomsday.

Will new generals appear?

[Fatality_]

Nice, using..

[Twotribes]

How does one copy this to the file? I mean without typing it all again?

[Hallsten]

Will new generals appear?

New generals will appear as usual. This event makes sure that useless old guard-generals won't clutter your leader-list.

How does one copy this to the file? I mean without typing it all again?

Use your mouse and click-and-drag to select all the text, rightclick on the selection and choose "copy". Then it's just to open your event-file of choice (or make a new one) and paste in the event.

[Hallsten]

Nice, using..

thanks, nice to see that people actually use it...

[Twotribes]

Several of the old guard had other abilities, but I dont think I will figure out which ones )

[Twotribes]

Ok, I am only sort of computer literate, how do I get the copied file from my explore program to my files area?

[Hallsten]

Yes, but the old guard-trait slows down the accumulation of exp. significantly for both themselves and the units they control.

Ok, I am only sort of computer literate, how do I get the copied file from my explore program to my files area?

• Select the entire event-text by clicking and dragging
• Rightclick on the selection and click "copy".
• Open e.g. germany.txt in the db\events-directory, go to the end of the file, press enter a few times and the rightclick and click "paste".
• Save the file and start a new game, the event should trigger at midnight the first day.

[Twotribes]

I made my son do the transfer, his solution was to save the file to word pad and then open the database and transfer to the right file with copy paste.

By the way, I am using the sleep event. Thanks.

How about a sleep event for Hungary, Romania and Austria ).

That would work as well, yes...

I could make events for them as well if there's a need for them. The problem I can see with it is that there are relatively few replacements for the old guard-generals in those countries.

[ImpLicht]

Here is the event for the german HOI2-version.

There is no command for action a, so the AI will always take action_a!
And if YOU don´t want to cheat (it´s a little bit of cheating), you are free to take action_a, too.

Hallsten: could you please add this to Wiki in the Utilties page ?

Or I will do it if you want.

Then it's just to open your event-file of choice (or make a new one) and paste in the event.

Thx Hallsten, nice!

FYI: First I had made a new file, just to keep things clean, and it did not fire. Then I moved it to the Germany event-file and it fired up fine.

You can put it in a file of its own if you add that filename to db\events.txt...

[King Tiger]

i like this event

i even added a personal touch....it requires blitzkreig tech....i figured that best represent the coming of a new "age" of warfare

[Sera]

I shamelessly stole the idea and made a similar event for Japan.

Hallsten, just want to send you my thanx for your event. No more having to waste my time searching through dead weight old guard generals to get to the ones that I want.

Hallsten, just want to send you my thanx for your event. No more having to waste my time searching through dead weight old guard generals to get to the ones that I want.

I still think ImpLicht has the right idea with an action_a and an action_b.

The player can get rid of the dead weight as you say, but an AI Germany can keep them or not. Also a player can decide for an AAR or for impulsive reasons to keep them too.
