Development of AoD 1.12

[Pang Bingxun]

1 event per province seems extreme. Also a seperate admin country seems like a bad idea. The approach i tend to favour is that all countries would be liberated as one complete country. Whoever controls the capital gets the entire country as a puppet. Germany would be an exception as it is designed to be seperated into FRG with Bonn near Cologne as its capital and with the stalinistic DDR with Berlin as its capital.

This would reduce the amount of events to 12 per country if SOV, USA, ENG and FRA are to be considered as masters and for returning the provinces. That is still a lot of events, but it should work well enough.

I have a working prototype.

What i did not calculate in is that Italy may switch sides and snatch a part of Austria. Also soviet union keeping the territory of the Netherlands and France was not intended. But at least the later two can easily be fixed.

Set 19 is considered stable and has been uploaded to steam including a new exe(Beta 6).

Set 20 is online. It is to be considered experimental. There are 267 new event for german surrender and at least 3 more are to be added soon. This is just a working prototype.

The "Won't Attack" bug is back:

Day after day. No attack from the neighboring units.

 

[Pang Bingxun]

Wow. Do you have a savegame, that can reproduce the bug?

I encountered the bug once in 2012, but never since.

 

[Pang Bingxun]

The "Won't Attack" bug is back:

Did you accidentally set the start date for the attack to somewhen(say a month) in the future? That would explain the yellow arrows that indicate a planned attack, that has not started yet. In other words your generals are actually following orders.

I have done that, but then I catch. I don't think so. When I reload, it "fixes" itself automatically, so probably not the wrong attack time. It's a bug.

 

[Pang Bingxun]

I have done that, but then I catch. I don't think so. When I reload, it "fixes" itself automatically, so probably not the wrong attack time. It's a bug.

Not quite, because there is another bug related to savegame usage.

If you have a preplanned movement, then an ETA is set. This ETA is saved in the savegame. Now, if you load the savegame, then the ETA is kept and the movement does in fact occur.

If you need 6 hours to move from province A to the adjacent province B and order to start moving there in 6 weeks, than loading such a savegame will mean that your unit is going to move 6 weeks and 6 hours. During that time it will use supply as units do use supply during movement.


Never order delayed movement before saving the game.

I added 22 dummy entries to the revolt file. This had educational purposes. This made me find out in which exact order nations appear under "Liberate Nation". That is also the same order they appear in any savegame, so that is useful to know for savegamme editing. Now both \config\doomsdaytext.csv and \db\revolt.txt match this order. In \db\revolt.txt i outcommented the dummy entries. In the next set i will delete them completely.

I doubt that this is related to set 24.

This thread here is mostly for softcoded changes. A Crash to Desktop is usually not related to softcoding(unless it is badly broken softcoding, in which case i should not have put it in this thread). Most likely a Crash to Desktop is somehow related to hardcoding. It is best to report such instances in Bug Reports.
