New beta C.O.R.E. v0.8 ***Discussion Thread***

[unmerged(25898)]

I believe it's based on the expansion of Germany's naval industry to actually go through in building these ships and without building these ships some companies might go bankrupt without large government naval expansions.

But this is just me guessing

I don't think any people would have stayed unemployed even, if naval industry would have been small. More industry and workforce would have been available for tank factories when ship yards had less work.

Thanks for the Yogoslavia event info

I checked the event info. Is it intentional, that Germany can annex Yogoslavia without this event firing? It says that event fires when 50% national provinces have been lost, but when I play with Germany, I got straight to key points and annex.

1. How "Partition of Yugoslavia" works? I am playing single player game with Germany, captured all key points and annexed Yugoslavia. I didn't get the "Partition of Yugoslavia" and when I checked event-folder, there were no triggers. When does this event launch?

2. Why is Germany "forced" to build fleet with "Z-Plan" -events. Those events give more IC, so even if player doesn't want fleet, it makes sense to choose those events and then just cancel all the ships. IMHO it would make more sense, if something good would come from every choise and player could choose which ever choice would suit him best. Like:
- Choose Z-plan = naval techs + keep Raeder
- Choose Y-plan = Get Dönits + sub techs
- Forget the navy = Get more IC

thou shalt not annex Yugoslavia :rofl:

I think the annexing conditions are hardcoded and can not be changed. So you can annex before the event fires.

But it's more fun to conquer it all and gain experience for your leaders then go straight for the kill.

I thnik they only ever use the ones they start off with. I'm not even sure they upgrade them

But does the AI ever build CAGs, or does it ignore them completely?

The ai builds CAGs and treats them as if they were torpedo bombers which is the unit that CORE replaced with CAGs.

Are you sure that the reason behind some of the leader files being overwritten is because the 0.8 series holds the 0411 /leaders/picture pack as well?

Ghost_dk

If all the leader files were the ones in the 0411 pack they shouldn't need to be included since 1.06 already has them. In fact, several of the CORE leader files are apparently different from the pic pack and 1.06. Bolivia, Columbia, Communist_China, English, etc. USA has changed only to fix the Lt. Gen. William Lee traits bug. Are the others only bugfixes as well possibly? If so, I would say it's probably OK to overwrite. (If you are fixing bugs in those files you should probably also fix the duplicate ID for the Chief of Air Force in the Hungarian minister file.)

Well, it still doesn't explain why those files have to overwrite the original ones. If they are really necessary for CORE they could go in the mod-CORE directory, but they don't.

There hasn't been much attention paid to leader files in the last few versions, so appreciate the detail feedback. We did take the decision to include the 0411 files to streamline the install and this wasn't updated for 1.06. Probably only the UK file and maybe a few others should be in, along with files for new nations of course. I'll try to set aside some time to check which files we should be using, the main problem is that leader/minister files have dependencies (INC files and events) which can cause problems and of course there's no comments in the leader files to document this.

For anybody wondering exactly what files are added outside of /mod-dir just make a C.O.R.E. install to a temp directory. If I remember correctly you'll find that files are installed to /mod-dir, /db, /ai, /config and /gfx plus a few files are dropped in the install directory.

Are there any Paratroopers in CORE

Ok sorry to bother you guys but i am about 1944 and high techs, and no paratroopers, does core allow infantry on transport planes, ????

 

[Crazyhorse]

There are paratroopers in CORE.

Then you probally researched not all of the right techs.

 

[Semi-Lobster]

it's actually pretty easy to get Paratroopers in CORE, getting good paratroopers takes longer. Also if you didn't already know, all Paratrooper tech is in the heavy aircraft tech tree

 

[Ghost_dk]

it is not possible to move anything but paratroopers in air transports.

Please do not start new threads, if in doubt which of the CORE threads to post in use the discussion sticky on the top of the page.

thanx

EDIT: could a moderator please merge this thread with the 0.8 discussion thread. Thx.

Removed most of the leader/minister files that were outside /mod-core.

 

[unmerged(2377)]

I just reinstalled HoI with 1.06, since I wanted to try CORE. After install, should it automatically make a CORE desktop Icon?

Yes, if you installed it properly...

Be sure to follow this order:
-install HOI
-apply last patch
-install CORE 0.8
-install CORE 0.83
