Let's do the timewarp again

[unmerged(14855)]

Hello fellow Ironers.
Today is the day where I've a new question for the brave designers.
Is it possible to turn the clock back? Let the game start in 1920?
If yes:
How could I do that, is it very complicated?

Thanks again for your help.

Theres a utility at

http://www.roadtowar.com

That allows you to do this in conjunction with changing the info in your .eug file.

Instructions are supplied there on how to get it to work. I seem to remember that I tried it, though, and it never really worked for me...

Ah yes I found it. For me it doesn't work either. Hmm might be the problem that it's designed for vers 1.2
Is there a newer version out there? Somebody know?

What isn't working? Install it, use it on HoI.exe, then change the startdate in the .eug.file.

Yes I did exactly that but the game starts in 1936.

And you changed the:

    startdate = { 
        year = 1936
        month = january
        day = 0
        }

And not the:

    startyear = 1936

Right? The second one won't do anything, it is the "startdate" that changes it for real.

Oh that's it. Thank you. Now I know the problem. Didn't realize there is a second paragraph with startdates.
Thanks again

Hehe attention Captain Elisson The patron for confused scen designers.
Now I can let you into my secret I want to recreate the crises-packed era of the '20ies. So many coups and the strained French-German relations. The world slowly lumbers into war. I think this would be a good theatre for HoI.

Oh, nice.
