1914 Fixes - v1.05 - Australia - 1914

[PAW]

Hello,

I just installed the v1.05 patch. Now need to fix what I have done before.

Melbourne is not right. The Port of Melbourne was established around 1850's and the Port Philip Bay that surrounds it can hold 1000's of ships. Therefore I am changing the Port to a 10.
Looks like that the Fort Nepean was catered for and is a 2 in 1914.
However, Point Cook RAAF base that was the only airbase till 1925, is not. I think in 1914 it shoud at least be a 2.

Fix Bases.inc:

province = { id = 1708 # Melbourne - VIC - Australia
naval_base = { size = 10 current_size = 10 } #PAW - Added
coastalfort = 2
air_base = { size = 2 current_size = 1 } #PAW - Added
}

On another note, can the Port Location be changed? The Port of Melbourne is way off, and in Tasmania, Port of Hobart is on wrong side of the island completeley. Should be in the south, not on the north side.

Yes.
Port coordinates on the map are defined by Port XPos and Port YPos properties in Darkest Hour\map\Map_1\Province.csv file

Thx! Will give it a try for fixing Melbourne & Hobart.

Ok - found the file. How do you determine the x y coordinates on the screen?

You could use the showid cheat code while in game to find the exact coordinates of the spot you want to move the port to.

Awesome - will give it a go - I will report back on the final locations for Port Melbourne (VIC) & Port Hobart (TAS) once I have them.
Thx for your help.

OKay - the cheats worked, here is correct info for Southern Australia where I live:

Type	Location	Provice ID	New X	New Y
Port	Melbourne	1708​	26945​	10861​
Port	Hobart	1710​	27084​	11360​
Port	Adelaide	1712​	26432​	10601​

I have had a look at Province.csv - and I am a bit leary on which actual ones to change...

Port XPos and Port YPos are the names of the columns containing port icon coordinates.

Okay - changed one and relaoded game - nothing happened.
I kept the original Province.csv, then edited it for just Melbourne, AUS.
Restarted game. Nothing.
I cannot remember, but do I need to removed a cached map or something?

Which file did you edit exactly?

Which file did you edit exactly?

After copying original Province.csv to safe location, I edited Province.csv.

In which location exactly? There are multiple version of that file, that's why I'm asking.

Will give that a go - and screenshot when I get a good result.
