Modern Day Scenario 2 for Darkest Hour

[Wilksjohnson]

Hey guys. Just to let you all know, I'll finally be back on October 4. I haven't read all the news yet, and I'm sorry for my extended absence. All you guys that are still working on the mod are awesome.

Edit: When I say that I will be back, I mean that I will finally have a consistent internet connection and I will finally be able to help out with the mod again. I just wanted to clarify in case anyone thought I didn't want to be part of the team anymore, although with my extended absence, I certainly wouldn't blame anyone if I gave off that impression.

Does anyone know why the US ship out their forces before Bagdad falls? I had to save, reload as Iraq and disband their forces to get the US to annex them (in late 2004 finally). I think that trashed the event game because between 2008 and 12 there were no events at all and in the end I researched the forbidden nuclear weapons in Germany out of boredom.

Someone on this thread mentioned a possible European unifaction: When exactly does this happen? Waiting for it and clicking only through the macroeconomic reports is kind of boring.

Transnistria got annexed by Romania in 2006, Russia annexed Romania 2008. Now they sit on it and nothing happens.

So I need everyones opinion on what elections I should write after I finish US. Britian and France are two majors that lack elections, Russia needs the recent election they had in March and one for 2016, Germany needs only one election for some time in the 2010's, Japan needs elections in the 2010's as well. Iran also needs the Presidential election they had in 2009 and needs one for 2013 and 2018.

 

[Imperator1993]

Canidates for the 2016 Election done just need to work on the event it self.

OMG chris christie!

Wait..Romania got annexed by Russia? How the f*ck?!

 

[CocoBZ]

Wait..Romania got annexed by Russia? How the f*ck?!

See my post on page 9.

 

[Afaslizo]

But not as in your game. In my game Uzbekistan declared war on Romania two months after Romania declared on Transnistria. Since Uzbekistan is a dictatorship that seems viable. Afterwards Russia as Uzbekistan's ally moved in.

Edit: A picture for Wolfgang Schäuble:

Also is there a reason for Merkel's personality? I would not call her naive at all.

 

[CocoBZ]

Ok, here are the updated inc files (also, minister files for Papua and Congo-Br., which, by my mistake, were abducted by aliens between mod versions): http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/97644978/file.html

# Enforced starting cabinets
# Disabled puppet status of Transnistria
# Changed regular_id of Switzerland from U06 to U72
# Added relations between Moldova and Romania and between Moldova and Russia

@Imperator: You may want to make the pics have the normal aspect ratio, and saved as bmp.

 

[Barbaelectrica]

Are the minister files done?

I can help with spanish ministers, but im a noob and i dont have much time. I will try to do it for myself for now.

 

[novapaddy]

To all those who wish to help make this a better mod:

If you are playing the mod and you see something like Ministers missing, or something you think needs fixing, improving, then please do the necessary and contribute it. In this way people with local / national knowledge (better knowledge!) will more likely do it correctly.

This is a Communal Effort, and I'm delighted to read that Wilksjohnson is coming back very soon... AND CocoBZ of course!

It brings me back to having the mod managed by that "Admin" account "ModDayScenario2" instead of "Wilksjohnson" or "novapaddy".. the idea is that anyone can manage mod from time to time, just passing the password to the new "manager".

What I mean by a "manager" is it is better if one guy manages the mod, takes in all the contributions and puts them into the mod.
..Tells people what is needed etc.
.. and in this way, one guy keeps track and makes the changes.. else we'd have multiple versions of the mod, and that would get very messy.

I was intending to start a new Thread using the ModDayScenario2 logon, when we port this into DH1.03....?

.. So, this version as it is now, is the final version (imo) before DH 1.03.

.......................

IF YOU are doing minister pics, they are 36 x 50 pixels, with a 1 pixel, white border. YOU ALSO need to go to the minister file for that country and add in the new ministers. Then contribute both, the pics and the minister file.

EDIT: If you use IrfanView, you can batch process a lot of pics at one time, and in a few seconds.
They are 24-bit, bmp.

..................

As I'm sure you can imagine, it took a lot of effort to get the mod out yesterday, that's why I took a break.

I'll round up all the contributions you've all posted already, and keep them safe.

Cheers

........................

Thanks

[vanadio]

My contribution

 

[CocoBZ]

I'd like to propose two things:

1. Inevitable ahistorical events/event chains (e.g. Ukrainian Civil War) should be given a chance of not happening, in case anyone wants to follow a historical path, or to allow possible historical events that wouldn't otherwise happen to do so;
2. We should create a separate thread dedicated to minister file updating only, this would speed up the process IMO.

Also is there a reason for Merkel's personality? I would not call her naive at all.

If you were to ask me, I'd pick Flamboyant Tough Guy as personality.

 

[unmerged(434583)]

i just try working or not working in game(worked) and now need correct minister.
What this incorrect: 87095;Head of Government;David Cameron;2010;2050;SC;Silent Workhorse;High;David Cameron;x ?
