CDCP-mod

[unmerged(84427)]

A search within the archiving topic on Sourceforge for "rar macos" yields 27 results.
However, I also prefer zip because just about every OS (even Windows) comes with a programme capable of handling the format; for plain text the extra compression efficiency available with some other formats is normally not necessary.

Woah, thanks Wobbler. I downloaded the Mac RAR Expander and seemed to work like a charm converting the CDCP file. I'm going to install it tonight, perhaps in combo with DAIM...I'll let you know if everything goes smoothly(or not).

Over at the VP Mac HOI2 forums folks are always seeking out .zipped mods so I assumed there was no workaround.

Well, Mac users have historically been even less encouraged to think for themselves than Microserfs

I compressed the files with winzip instead of winrar. The file size went from 3,7 mb to 4,2 mb with winzip. So as you mentioned that is not really any issue.

I use winrar because that is what i normailly use and Paradox also uses .rar format.

Would mac user be able to use a .zip format from winzip, or can i just use the .zip format included in winrar ?

A zip is a zip just like a rar is a rar and a gzip is a gzip

Why did i even ask

There's an error in event 4003.

		command = { type = add_corps which = "1e Corps d'Afrique" value = land when = 380008 where = 932 }

Province 932 is Tripoli so it should be something else, maybe Algiers 949.

You are correct as usual. Will place them in Algiers 949, there are no other troops placed there.

Edit: The strat Redployment Mission works as designed so you should remove the # in front of the command giving strat redeployement mission + 0.5 in db\tech\infantry_tech.txt its the Rear Area Supply Dumps tech ID 1310

Edit: Changed back the mission efficiency to 100% for Anti partisan duty since it works as designed. land_doctrines_tech tech id = 6010 & 6210

Rolled back the mission efficiency's setting for air supply as well.

They are all changed back in next version of CDCP.

I have uploaded Version 0.42 to Moddir and Modhoi.

Expect them to be ready for DL later today.​

This version is made as a .zip file. Winrar users should still be able to extract the files as usual.

Most of the stuff has todo with naming units correctly and some rolebacks for the missions where mission efficiency actually works as designed

A few other corrections aswell, as usual the changelog is included.

Mengkukuo's names are still unchanged in the CSV files and the '39 scenario.

Japan hasn't correct air, army, and navy names.
1. Hikoutai -> Dai 1 Hikoutai
1 Gundan -> Dai 1 Gun/Homengun
1. Kantai -> Dai 1 Kantai


EDIT:
Action B "Scandinavia is not important" in event 26 (Altmark) should sleep event 29 (Weserübung).

Mengkukuo names

I had a look on the different unit name files. It seems that two different persons has made the csv files and inc files. In the csv files all Mengkukuo units are named with some sort of variation of Mengkukuo.

In the Inc files however the Mengkukuo unitnames where setup with mongolian names like "1st Mongolian Corps" wich i translated to "Dai 1 Moukogo" I think that making the Mengkukuo unitnames consistent with the csv files would be better so i will redo all the Mengkukuo in files and use the syntax from there.

The same can be said of the Manchurian setup, but this is much more consistent with the inc files only small issues. Like missing armyname preffixes. The army names has a preffix for both manchuria and mengkukou but they are not used for the unit names i think i will keep it that way unless i find any info that contradicts that setup.

Iam tired of Asian unit names. :wacko:

EDIT:
Action B "Scandinavia is not important" in event 26 (Altmark) should sleep event 29 (Weserübung).

It makes sense if it did.

I think however i will have to check the AI events for Germany before i make this change. I fear risking to get the German AI in big trouble if the AI events for invading Norway is independent of the choices made in these events.

Unholy alliance in event 2600 can lead, if Finland joins the Allies as a result of the Winter War, to a peace between Axis and Allies after the Winter War (events 2628 and 3203).

So event 2627 needs an additional trigger entry NOT = { alliance = { country = SOV country = GER } }

I thought about changing it to 1 so Finland just make seperate peace with the unholy alliance. But then again incase of Unholy alliance who would make peace anyways. So i add the suggested trigger.

The cub_1936 AI file is set to build airbases (important because Cuba starts the game with none) but doesn't list any provinces to build them in.

Correct, not very good since Cuba actually is ordered to build some airunits which it cant deploy, so Cuba always end up with undeployed airunits.

That's not such a big deal, it causes them to want to build in any province available; what is far worse is that they are allowed to spend at most 0% of their effective IC on building convoys and province structures.

Correct. I actually already have made all these changes to my own private mod, never remembered to add it when the CDCP mod was started.

Since i did't want all the american minors spawn divisions until they used all IC on building supplies i set the construction to bewteen 0.75 and 0.95.

I will set cuba to 0.15 so they will use between 1 and 2 IC on construction.

They really dont need convoys, they will never expand, the cubans is a peacefull nation in this timeframe, that just want to sell cigars

I know this is the sort of thing that usually triggers debates, but I've noticed the paucity of British heavy cruiser class names in the models file. Also, I'm not sure about the never-ordered Surrey as CA model 1.

I suggest the Hawkins class should be added for model 23_0, and redub model 2 as the Norfolk class of which HMS Surrey was a part. Perhaps the York class should be added as model 3.

My British naval expertise doesn't go tremendously farther than Wikipedia, but I thought I'd toss these ideas out just in case they might prove useful.

You are probably right, i have however decided not to do any additional model name changes. It will only open a big can of worms, where i can spend literally hundreds of hours looking into the various claims/suggestions players make with regards to what the "correct" modelname should be. I simply do not have the time to do that.

There is also holes in the variuos modelnames files, that could be filled with a thourough investigation into the different design projects for the various country's, another huge timestealer project though.

I understand totally how you feel, and I do appreciate your taking the time to explain your reasoning.

Keep up the great work!
