Domination of the Draka Mod - Main Thread

[DarkSoul1984]

A couple of problems that really stand out.....

1) using the old HoI2 province.csv instead of the AoD one. Kiruna has only 30 metal and not 160 metal for example

2) The techs do not have appropriate comments. The synthetic techs now have unknown string wanted and still show the old HoI2 text in terms of energy->oil multiplier

3) The scenario file has lots of extraneous stuff like country setup files for countries that do not exist (the Chinese states for instance). Editing all this out should get rid of the "Scenario file had errors" message at start

4) Need to rework the starting AIs and events so that the "ahistorical" does not happen everytime, like the Domination declaring war on the Soviet Union in 1936 or France declaring war on Germany in '38 after the Sudeten War.

5) Should revise the tech tree so it is more similar to that in the books

6) The events really need some work as they have unintended consequences at this point in time, like pushing belligerence through the roof

Can someone make a full list of things that need to be accessed by priority?

 

[DarkSoul1984]

What do you mean?

A To-Do List?

Or a list of the files the game uses versus those it does not?

Or what exactly?

 

[gianlucad]

It's a to-do list by priority.

 

[DarkSoul1984]

1) Clean up mod so that only necessary files are included
2) Change files to match AoD and not HoI2
3) Modify province.csv to reflect changes in names, IC, and resources distribution
4) Clean up scenario file of extraneous files
5) Clean up events
6) work with tech tree
7) Modify the AI

Does this list work?

I should have some time in a few days to get on this, I'm good with pretty much anything but AI and graphics.

Supply updates:

Supply updates:

Isn't it likely that the infrastructure is better in those areas that were counquered early in Drakas history, for example in present day Nigeria and Gold Coast?

 

[gianlucad]

How much is the infra in china? It is still red...

Wait, what? Explanation please?

At the moment got the main trans-Asia transport route up to 70-80, the first series at 90 due in the next year.

Takes ages because of mountain terrain... if you want to add a transport route into the mod I think take that into account, Draka would have had West China for >20 years, the Infr couldn't be more than 80 I think.

As I said the problem is IC, because that is where supplies are created. ATM most supplies are transported from Africa or maybe Turkey. Central Asia is not terrible because it is closer.

===

Game:

BTW after Italy no more events triggered. August 22 1942 and I am going to trigger Barbarossa manually 'cos nothing is happening. Also Japan never did Pearl Harbour, USA has been totally out of the game.

Other note, Britain is crippled, 70 effective IC, so it looks about right according to the books.

wait, what? Explanation please?

april fools!!! but yeah, they are giving 50% dicount on gamersgate for paradox made/distribuited prior to HTTT go to the announcements page and see fou yourself...

More things that need to be fixed then...

I've begun tinkering with the mod now, and I've found that the solution to the startup bugs were averted by fixing the event folder with the one I made for DD-ARM nearly a year ago. However, I need an up to date copy of the map. Whoever has it, can you PM me?

That is not with me, I will be updating everything officially probablly by saturday next week.

Guess I'll have to get on this a bit myself. Darksoul and I have some ideas for what to implement here, but right now we;re going to focus on getting the map right and then begin some balance testing before writing new events.

 

[gianlucad]

What is currently being done? Are you guys working together or are you working on separate aspects?

Merry easter to all btw

I've totally reworked the map, primarily to give the Draka good infrastructure in the developed areas of africa, leaving a good rail line in central asia and the middle east, but leaving those areas less developed overall.

I've also made a lot of little changes, too many to list, but countries and provinces now have their proper names for the timeline. I'm presently stability testing the mod as it works right now, and I'm into a hands-off 1940 game that's going surprisingly well, about like the last hoi2 release did. Once I get to 1942, that's when new event chains are needed to make the Draka/German war work correctly. I still have most of my old notes, but those are going to be a pain to test into working properly.

Ok, after you finish testing it, can you send it to my e-mail (gianlucadebiasi@hotmail.com)?
