Modern Day Scenario for HoI 2

[unmerged(47399)]

Could be a mismatch in your registry since you already have DD installed. The way I understand it is that you simply renamed the old folder and made a new setup. Did the preinstaller copy the rest of your needed files to the 'Modern Day Scenario' folder except the .exe?

If you follow the steps in the readme.txt that comes with the zipped file you shouldn't have any problems. The preinstaller reads the following registry value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Paradox Interactive\Doomsday\path and then assume that's where you keep your DD installation. It copies needed files from that directory, including the .exe.

I hope this helps.

All the preinstaller does is create the new folder, nothing else
I also checked the registry and the path value leads to the newly installed game, not the modded one

The first thing the preinstaller do is look in your windows register for a certain key. Since I don't have the downloaded version I can only guess they don't place the registry keys in the same place as in the boxed version.

Could you do me a favour and I'll try to guide you trough this.

1. Start -> Run

2. Type: regedit and press ok

3. Regedit starts...

4. Browse your way to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\
Do you have a folder called Paradox Interactive or Paradox something here?
If so, rightclick on it and select export

5. Save the .reg file and e-mail it to me (my e-mail is in my contact information).

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I do not see that registry key. Ive looked everywhere and I cant find it. So I guess that it doesnt place a key at all. Anyone know where I can find the registry key for the digital download version of DD?

I had a successfull test of a manual install I did, but with the same problems others have listed(i.e. crash to desktop after a month or so.) I did find a key for DD in my registry and it was patched to 1.2(manual install as well). So maybe thats just what I have to do. Unless someone else has an idea or a solution to my problem. Thanks for the help though.

Okay
I just completly uninstalled DD
Removed the registry entrys
Reinstalled DD
Patched it to 1.2
Unzipped the MDS2 files
Launched the preinstaller
Installed the mod
The only files in the Modern Day Scenario 2 folder are the mod files
Nothing else
Help?

yes. It's because we have no AI files (read back a few pages).

Oh! OK, just thought it was me!

Excelent mod btw!

Im not sure what that has to do with anything. There doesnt need to be a specific country ai file for each individual country in order for them to produce units. I know I remember that in previous versions of this mod ai countries produced units. Did there use to be a default ai build scheme that all countries would use unless a specific one was specified and it got deleted or something? I clearly remember playing previous versions of this mod and seeing unit number increase over time. Currently, since the ai doesnt replace its losses, you can defeat any nation as a minor if you have patience and time.

I love this mod and the modern day theme. Now that the lag problem has been cleared up with the DD version I was looking forward to playing it again. However, after getting through a few years and seeing that my enemies armies crumble away without being replaced it takes almost all the fun away from an otherwise great mod.

I do not agree with u too. These are stupid american words. Yes, the Su-27 is the 4.5 generation fighter but this is not all what Russia has. U have forgotten Su-37 which is in many ways better than F-22. The only thing in which is Raptor better is fully stealth technollogy which is in Super Flanker used only partially. But its sometimes for nothing to have stalth because the Su-37 has powerfull radar which can datect Raptor in some situations.Moreover there are many other Russian projects such as MiG-39/MiG 1.42/MiG 1.44 , S-32/37 Berkut.


Btw, i dont have enought time to read all 151 pages so why have some countries so low ic (Russia).

To continue with a can help you with Czech and Slovak republic. Generals,tech teams...

I havent solved my problem with forum on mdshome yet. When i log in and click on members list it shows that i am logged in but no forum below top list. I am using Opera and i tried also IE. Pretty anoying

You don't know what you're talking about, at all. The F-22 is operational, and is combat ready, stationed in Alaska. The Su-37 can't be anywhere near as stealthy as the F-22, which is the practically invisible, and the Su-37 simply isn't the same kind of combat horse; it is a test bed, and there isn't a combat ready Berkut in existence, nor will there ever be one. They are a decade away from having a functional 5th generation aircraft, if they had unlimited money, and they are poor. Comparing an aircraft that doesn't exist in a combat form yet, to an aircraft that is universally regarded as the greatest fighter in the world? :rofl:

The MiG 1.42 was canned. It will never exist. It was also still being tested, and was decades away from a prototype, much less a functional aircraft. It's stealth is based on plasma, which isn't anything like the F-22's stealth.

Finally, to utterly crush your suggestion, the F-22 has the AESA, which, on it's own, makes it devastatingly effective. An F-15 with an AESA could stop anything in the world that isn't a Eurofighter or an F-22, and the F-15 is OLD.

The Su-27 is 4th generation. The Sukhoi you're thinking of is the Su-30MKI, which is 4.5th gen.

The Russians are perhaps 20 year behind the United States in aerial radars. They don't have a radar that could detect an F-22 without the F-22 being within visual range, by which point it's long dead thanks to the AMRAAM.

"(and it is not as much stealth as the B2's - its a fighter plane). And India had problems with the radars of their Suhojs (which is the same as in Su-37) : it does not have the capabilities that the Russians told, and these radars are very unreliable."

The B-2 isn't as stealthy as an F-22. The F-22's RCS is said to be that of a steel marble, or a flying insect. One that flies mach 1.8 without turning on it's afterburners... The B-2 is older technology, and I believe even the F-35 is stealthier.

The Indians put American radars into their Sukhoi's for the reasons you stated.

"Some airplanes are close in one capability with the Raptor"
Only the JSF and the Eurofighter compare. The Eurofighter is like the F-22 lite, it isn't nearly as stealthy as the F-22, it's radar is inferior, and it isn't the powerhouse the F-22 is. It's incredibly advanced, but it is several notches below the F-22. It must be understood, that the F-22 was a program that began in the 80's, and we've spent so much money on it, more than many nations GDP in the same time period, that, along with our technological infrastructure, we've created an incredible aircraft. Nothing can even compete with it, and that is not even close to hyperbole.

some GDP 2005 numbers(- we used 2003 in MDS but there is no big difference (World Bank list)
Rssia : 1,559,934
USA : 12,409,465
Germany : 2,417,537

You shouldnt just use the GDP. First some countries have good GDP just because of the price of oil. Since you can trade oil for supplies in game that's like counting two times the same thing.

Now countries that just make raw materials, insignificant industrial products or that are totally service based economy shouldnt have the same IC as sophisticated manufacturing powerhouse country if they have the same GDP.

Also, if you use the GDP, you have to consider that the assets might be own by foreigners and that not all government would be strong enough to retain those industrial assets in the kind of dangerous times MDS try to portray.

there is nothing else to use....

Most of our debt is owned by foreign nations (China is like $250b?) GDP therefore is the main measure in my opinion apart from perhaps GDP per capita, but even then if that were the case Luxembourg would have more IC than the US. I think IC is good apart from the events taking away IC 4 US, China, and maybe some future war events for "mobilization" if WW3 starts to increase Russian/Chinese IC perhaps

Is there any way of making new countries, beyond the 20 that Paradox allow you. (i.e have Eithiopia, Jamaica, cental American states.etc).

Yes, but the reason for so much of the amalgamation of states in this mod is to lighten the load on your computer. It is not an ideal solution, but it atleast helps.

I heard our debt to China just tipped 1 trillion dollars.

 

[jose1357]

I saw this on CSPAN where certain nations took up so many states representing our debt to them (China had most of west coast/largest), was pretty cool in a macabre sort of way...

It doesn't matter how much we owe them. Our standard of living is far greater and we are decades ahead of them in technology. Mass producing trinkets and shipping them overseas doesn't make you an economic power. Anything important that we need or use is manufactured here. Maybe if China and some other countries lifted their trade barriers and followed the same rules we do our products would outsell theirs.

Hey, I just played the mod and after 3 days my game ctd'ed. I restarted it and 7 days later it ctd'ed. Didn't happen to vanilla MDS2, could it be an incompatibility with DD?

It happens to everyone. It's just pretty unstable- lots going on.

trinkets = cars, computers, electronics?

EDIT: And may I remind you that mass-producing trinkets and beads and shipping them overseas built empires.
