Expanding the Demo

[Spocky]

The reason of you crashing in the EUG is because you had the world map on. Turn it black again and you would not have that problem.

Right now I am making an even stronger German force and making the battlefiled larger. I got pushed to Paris already.

You have only the files of the country of the Demo. So you can only use them or make completely new ones

All,

I don't imagine Paradox's liberal policy toward modifications of their games extends to the demo they generously released in advance. For which you paid upwards of zero dollars...

Enjoy the tease, but keep your hands to yourselves.

Excuse me , but you can't tell me that when paradox release a demo to one off the most modable games in the world , that they are not think that someone try to mod("hack") the demo.
Maybe they have even bets running how much the fans will mod the demo.
It may also useful to find some more bugs, as G'Kar and I found one with our naval stuff

@thorpemark
Change your mod this way


navalunit = {
id = { type = 10602 id = 162 }
name = "Seeaufklärungsgruppe 125"
leader = 278 #von Bismarck
location = 2472 #off amsterdam

division = {

Agh, I can't make a Nuclear attack!

I gave Germany a strategic bomber, and I used the cheat "nuke" (yes, the old cheats work, including "event 1 -> 30") and I loaded the bomb on, and I clicked on a province... and it came up in the selection box thing "None"

I wanted to nuke Paris!!

You have to add tech no. 7170 in your techapps to be able to drop nukes.

 

[Mr.G 24]

Search around in one of the files (I believe GFX) and there will or not be a nuke animation, that should tell you if Paradox kept nukes in the game.

 

[unmerged(36003)]

You evil, evil man. Perhaps the option isn't present in the demo, simply because you shouldn't be using nukes in the Ardennes offensive.

Good luck modding it though, kick the allies out of the now-irradiated continent.

It works, and the animation is there. Just add the tech...

 

[Mr.G 24]

That's just what we need, nukes... cause we couldn't do enough destruction.

Since you have used them, how do they work? same as HoI?

How they work? *BOOOOOMMM*

I didn't check extensively, but all divisions and province installations (including AA, IIRC) were gone.

Am I understanding things correctly if I have to "reset" the map again if I wan't to try the ships and nukes?

Btw, it was very nice to see the whole map, and no way would I have been able to do it without you guys, thanks

 

[Wolf52]

Heh, finally a nuke which can destroy those pesky aa guns. :rofl:

 

[Hardstuff]

OH YEA! That was fun...

I thought techs would have been the problem after my third failure... but I was too lazy to find out...

hehe... fun...

Also, I've added a full Germany, eh... what seems to be Poland... although a bit messed up, since the province names aren't in the "province" file anymore, only eg. 34 Latvia, Poland, lots of numbers etc... so I just searched "Poland" and I got... well, not a full Poland. I'm trying to create two fronts, give Part of Russia to Germany, the other part to America, give them forces there... but it'll be a bit of work, and when I unlock the camera position, it crashes. Is there anyway to fix that?

I also allowed Ireland to be seen... hehehe 7 provinces? great!. I will be adding the Danish provinces to Germany soon, then I will add the rest of France... then I will add Italy, the North as German and the South as American of course!. Then I will add Austria and Czechslovakia and Hungary, Latvia etc.. as Germany. Then Finland and Norway. Give them some troops, and see how it turnes out. Oh and not to forget adding in England as America too, giving them planes and ships.


Although, this all depends on if I can unlock the camera position without it crashing (or atleast make it bigger so I can fit in W. Russia!). It'll take some time though... and I'm a lazy guy (well I am Irish - we are very very lazy... hehehe - By the way Mr. G 24, I liked that Irish AAR lol)


I have a long time until Feb 17th!

 

[Wolf52]

What do you mean about the camera position? In the scenario .eug file you just comment out the coordinates.

 

[Zuckergußgebäck]

I wonder what we are to do about the neutrals?

Sweden can be considered 'German' at the time as it was a german puppet in all but name.

I know that, but it crashes for me for some reason!

 

[GrimReaper]

Tactical Bombers can target AA installations among other things now; sweet

 

[Hardstuff]

Ok... so I have gotten rid of those pesky co-ordinates now, thank God it didn't crash this time. My next problem will be, Russia. How do I know which provinces should be American and which should be German?
As I have said above, the province names aren't in the province file. They are sorted by area and country. So... Well, maybe if Belorussia and (I know) Ukraine are there, I can give those two to Germany, but then the rest... I am clueless...

Meh, I will figure this out when I get to it...
For now I am on a break for the next while.

You can find the relation between names and numbers in /config/province_names.csv or you can use the "showid" cheat ingame.

I would hardly go that far
