Export of games from Vic to HoI2DD

[Firenz]

Anyone experience problems while exporting from Vic Revs to HoI2DD? I have things like lost fleets, mucked up diplomacy Allies with -200 relations etc.

I transfer the files by saving to the export folder and then copying it across to the scenarios folder in HoI.

Its just annoying when I do 100yrs as the US readying having fun and looking forward to another 25 or so when suddenly it all goes Pete tong.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Unfortunately you just have to manually edit the worst mistakes like sliders. If there's some good exporting program, I'd also love to hear about it.

Yes, the editor makes some cruddy transformations, you have to know the trick to dealing with it. I thought about writing up a guide on how to fix certain things. If you like, I can help you further. Just ask.

I have had to edit myself many things, and do some debugging to get it all right; I've become a master at save editing as a result :rofl:

Well, not master, but close enough....

It would be great if you do it. Right now conversion is confusing and I'm too lazy to investigate it by myself.

On Ricky, as Italy I've satellized Austria and Egypt, but on DD they just grant me military access. Most countries also convert to be isolationists, so the game is a little boring.

It would be great if we have a tutorial about editing the save files.

Wow, well thats a challenge then....hmmm, send me a six pack of coke and I'll get right on it :rofl:

Joking, gimme some time; I love detail. I'll host it on my DD site.

Actually, if you could just tell me some more things you'd like answered, it'd make the process easier and more beneficial.

Satelliting problems, I can do that, among a dozen other things. The one thing I haven't figured out yet is how to alter the major alliances, to make things more practical (the player more often then not, is very powerful, but his country doesn't get a major alliance or isn't the head of his own alliance).

There are lines of text at the start of the exported game file that list what the major alliances are and who's in them.

If you search the text for "allies" or "axis" they should turn up.

And the exporter puts the members in alphabetical order, and the first country in the list is the leader of the alliance. What ou have to do is move the correct leader to the front of the list.

Well, I got a reason to go to Brazil then :rofl:

Not to say it isn't nice enough on its own, of course...

Here is the guide. For more specific questions, you can register and post. I think that form whats here, you should be able to get a good idea of how to edit saves; its not too difficult once you get past a couple things.

It just seems amazing, lol.

cheers for replies. Should be able to sort it out now.
