Critical error

Slothrop · Jan 11, 2017

Hello all,

my current Italian game crashes because the file ' a\switch/german_air_reserve.ai ' isn't found after Germany annexes Poland. Is this a known problem?

Zsar1 · Jan 12, 2017

No, it is not. I searched the event base and there is no reference to that file. It also does not conform to the common CORE AI file name pattern.
... If you could search your directory "mod-CORE2\db\events" for the filename (via Windows Search if "Search file contents" is enabled or via Notepad++ or any other editor offering a "Search in Files" function) and report which file references that name, it would help.

Most probable seems to be that your CORE installation got mixed up with another fileset, mayhap from another mod.

How dare you to even insinuate that he did something wrong? He's playing a Paradox Interactive game, I repeat - a Paradox Interactive game - so it makes him a nerd and nerds are smart people who know what they are doing.

It's your and C.O.R.E. team's fault now and it's never the fault of the end user. How could you think that he didn't perform a thorough debugging procedure before coming to these here forums? Shame on you.

Mmh. To be fair, not cleanly separating mods into different directories is still necessary* in at least two cases, so mixing stuff and later forgetting about it is an excusable folly.
- I am perfectly happy that the report contained enough information for me to recognise it as a false-positive, so there is that.

It is my Problem: filename not available): (function-name not available)

where? why?

Czudak X · Mar 1, 2017

Hey, man. For your information, Iron Cross v1.04RC1 is NOT compatible with AoD of version 1.10 or 1.11. The last official compatibility is AoD v1.09. Read the changelog before installing stuff.

me987654 · Jun 18, 2017

I'm getting the same error with respect to "german_air_reserve.ai" during an Italian game (My last german game went fine - no errors). Note that I AM using the steam version of AoD... I also do have the non-steam version if for some reason the steam version is the problem (not sure why it would be... but you never know).

Edit: Found the reference... it's in cored_ai_ger.txt

action_a = {
command = { type = ai which = "switch/GER_Poland_After.ai" }
command = { type = ai which = "switch/GER_Air_Reserve.ai" }
command = { type = local_setflag which = GERAirAIReserve }

There's actually a few more references in there as well

Denniss · Jun 19, 2017

indeed the ai switch file is missing. no idea what happened to it nor the intention/setup of this file

me987654 · Jun 21, 2017

I happen to have the .70.7 installer (the last version before the current) and the file is in there (Ger_Air_Reserve.ai). It's just an empty file (other than comments) and IIRC (I'm not on my gaming laptop right now) it was in the base AI switch folder (not the one under the CORE mod folder). I put this file into my install and it fixed the issue and everything seems to be working fine. Maybe it was just a placeholder in the last version and needs to be put back in?

Denniss · Jun 21, 2017

that's the dummy file placed into the main AoD folder. That was required to properly load an ai file from moddir folder. The Core version of this file is missing.
We are currently checking our source files whether it was accidentally left out in the installer or missing completely.
If you place the dummy fiel in the Core switch ai folder you may be able to continue the game although the german AI may act strange with its air fleets.

Hagar · Jun 22, 2017

It is indeed missing in the installer script (though the file itself is present in the masters)... The quick fix is to add a txt file named ger_air_reserve.ai in the mod-CORE2\ai\switch\ directory, with the following content:

Thanks! That's an easy fix. Maybe no one noticed until now since everyone plays germany all the time

OK, so I got this critial error as well playing the Soviets and I'm running the 0.70.8 version on a Steam install - so this apparantly hasen't been fixed from version 0.70.7 which I think the OP was using?

But OK, so how to fix it then?

You write that one should "add a txt file named ger_air_reserve.ai in the mod-CORE2\ai\switch\ directory"

A couple of questions on that:

How can I add a .txt file that end in an .ai extension? Shouldn't the file be an .ai file?
But by "txt file" maybe you only mean it should be in text - the code you provided - or am I missing something?
Also - if I have to make it an .ai file - do I need a special program for that?

I tried installing a couple of program that should be .ai file viewers, just to see what those files where, but none of the programs I tried could open the .ai files in the game (I tried both my CORE mod folder and the untuched orginal game folder I have separetely stored).

So IF I need to make an .ai file and I need an .ai program for that - could anyone give me a tip on a working and license free option?

Or - if I still need to make this an .ai file - could I just simply paste this code into a .txt file and then change the file extension to .ai?
Maybe that's what you ment?

I have no experiance dealing with this - maybe that shows? ;-)

That´s it

Thanks Blecky - that worked a charm!

And thank's to Hagar for the code of course.

I just had the problem popping up while playing CHI on 1939, Sept. 28, thank you very much, Denniss and Hagar !

They are the occurrences found with Notepad++

About the file written by dec, I'm concerned with some words:

destructionriskthreashold = 0.2

logisticalstrikeefficency = 0.01
runwaycrateringefficency = 0.01
strategicstrikeefficency = 0.01
installationstrikeefficency = 0.01

airvulnurabilityweight = -1.000 surfacevulnurabilityweight = 0.000

and also, to some extent, strategic_bombardment = no

threshold ? efficiency ? bombing ? or is it WAD ?

There may be some place where I can consult a complete list of deprecated and current commands for AoD ?

All of those functions are older HoI2 ones. There were some additions to the AI and event strings for AoD but, not many.

Any chance the installer gets updated to address this? I can work around it.... but I often point people to this mod who want the ultimate Hearts of Iron Experience and ease of install always helps for new users.

(I still think AoD with Core is the best version of hearts of iron ever... period)
