KNOWN BUG French Super General...

[unmerged(12685)]

French Super General...

I'm not sure if this one has been logged, but one of the French generals has something like 4 "specialties" listed with him... that seems a little unlikely to say the least, or that a few of the other General officer types have been sorely cheated...

Namely, this fellow:

leader = {
id = { type = 6 id = 24261 }
name = "Verdillac"
picture = "gfx\interface\pics\verdillac_fra.bmp"
category = general
rank = 1
loyalty = 5
skill = 1
trait = defensive_doctrine
trait = winter_specialist
trait = trickster
trait = engineer
}

Sorry if this is a repeat of someone else's post, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere just yet.

IT the leader file I have listes him as follows

Verdillac;24261;FRA;1;2;3;0;5;0;verdillac_fra;x

Were did you find this?

This was in a custom scenario, and it's not the first one I've seen it in with him... it seems to be in all of my custom scenarios from the beginning. I should point out now that I haven't messed with the French leader files at all, I just noticed it as I was looking for a Offensive Doctrine general for a unit and was flipping through the various French commanders. I have no idea why it would happen, but it seems to do it with every one I mess with. These are all from the 1936 scenario using the workaround to load it into the editor for 1.02NA.

Well I can;t help you here I am afraid. My copy of HoI doesn't work to be able to check this strange phenomon. However one my co-mods should stroll along sometime soon, to be able to double check it.

Looks like its from the save game file - which translates the traits listing into english...

I found the same in my save game file...

It's not really a problem, just something I noticed one dark and drizzly morning, so I thought I'd chime in with it. I suppose I'll just chalk it up to one of those strange little oddities that games occassionally throw at us.

If isn't saving traits properly then who knows what else it isn't saving properly. This could be very minor there again it might not be.

I have no idea what a save game file looks like for him, this is just from the initial pre-played scenario file... but you do have a good point there.

Nope, it's in the save-games too it would seem. As someone mentioned above as I just now recalled...

Wait a minute your edited the file (using the scenario editor?) and withotu touching the French Gerneals something changed? Now that is mighty strange.

That pretty much sums it up. No idea why it would do that, and he's the only one I've noticed, but it seems to work that way with both the saved games and with the scenarios themselves... the first one I noticed it with was just a simple deletion of Ireland and granting that territory to the UK... I never even touched France in that one.

From my latest save game:

HOI v1.2, Bolt v1.02, VH, no changes to any French files; playing as Turkey;

leader = {
id = { type = 6 id = 24261 }
name = "Verdillac"
picture = "gfx\interface\pics\verdillac_fra.bmp"
category = general
rank = 1
loyalty = 5
skill = 1
experience = 10
trait = defensive_doctrine
trait = winter_specialist
trait = trickster
trait = engineer
}

Ok so do we all agree here that problem is with the editor and not the saved game files? I know paradox have been working on the editor so I will enquire if theis problem has been sovled already?

Let's cool it Known bug... Beta files already are corrected, as King says... So be patient. It was like that in previous patches. Fixed...

Ahhh I never knew this. Thanks for the info.

LOL... Yes, THE infamous Verdillac, übersoldat par excellent

I believe is the French general who put up so much resistance to the 1941 British/commonwealth invasion. Perhaps he was that good. ?

France isn't the only nation with an uber soldier either. Switzerland's General U. Willie also posesses the same Defensive Doctrine, Winter Specialist, Trickster, & Engineer.

Not that it makes much a difference Switzerland is not that big of a nation ingame and will hardly ever have a big military
