i suggest changing EU to United Nations, columbia shuttle to Kim Jong Un, and Rose Revolution to Arab Spring

UN is already in the picture (See the Iran Disarmament one), Jong Un isn't from 2003, and neither is the Arab Spring. I thought the mod focused on 2003? Or maybe I'm wrong. Otherwise, I would've used a picture of the swine flu epidemic since I couldn't find a picture of SARS using creative commons search that I wanted.

If you have suggestions for events in 2003 to put in the splash/loading/campaign select screens (I made that sample using the list from wiki), please feel free to give. Wiki's list seems to focus primarily on western nations so not a good example of world events.

The mod takes place from 2003-2019, so ya.

JOB DONE:
The event pics errors have all been temporarily fixed with the missing pic link replaced with "news_paper" link as in DH.
This link includes all the earlier fixes I did today as well.
So, lots of loading errors (which you probably never see, but they are there) have been fixed today.

No worries Arcangelus
Just in case: I had some files switched off (slider xxx etc) and these of course didn't turn up in the log, and they were not done. But I think we will be getting rid, and if not, I will go back over and complete these also. ta

@Wilksjohnson, you say the link to gamefront : the file doesn't exist???

I just clicked on the link I gave:



The file exists and can be downloaded. I have fixed all the text errors since that post, so it is ALL done. Although I haven't uploaded the new fixes yet.

You gave a list of outstanding errors yesterday and I either fixed them or told you how and where to go to fix them. Except the lag issue and the crash issue, which seems to have been introduced since I first uploaded the ported mod. I mean for England, which is now totally unplayable, but was playable?

I mean this list:

### Known Issues ###


1. The manpower gain is still incorrect. SHOWED you where to go to fix it.

2. Cuban troops inside Gitmo at scenario start. SHOWED you how to fix this.

3. Missing many tech pictures

4. Need to remove the old Soviet forts in eastern europe. SHOWED you how to fix this.

5. Obvious typos in the events. FIXED ALL the typo errors, which took hours to do. I mean the errors in savedebug.

6. Need to change infrastructure values.

7. Several bug fixes haven't been implemented yet.

8. Still need to implement some of Rumpnissen89's flags.

9. The United Kingdom is unplayable. Crashes very often near beginning of scenario.

Gamefront cannot be accessed from here, and I later checked out that it has blocked access from Taiwan due to unspecified reasons.
Not sure if it has blocked access from other nations

Well I used to use Megaupload but that was illegally shut down by the American FBI?
... so it was suggested I use gamefront, which is ok, but some guys seem to have problems with...

Can you suggest another site, as I'm not bothered which site I use, just as long as it is accessible world-wide, Cheers.

EDIT:

I'm not too fond of gamefront, because sometimes it tells me that I have no account or no files in my account.. causing panic.. but later on it seems to work ok?

 

[unmerged(425784)]

I KNOW WAHT IS CAUSING THE CRASH!!!!!!!!

IS AUTOSAVE! Even if I put a mounth, or five, or three...everytime when is supossed to run, my game crash!!!!!!

Mediafire is ok for me, although it has a maximum 200mb upload limit.

 

[Tankist/45]

Loadscreen from page 41 looks way too nato-ish. How about adding opposition to nato?

I switched off the Autosave, but it still crashes...

@Depositfiles: I recommend using 4shared as a free file sharer. With a free acount, size limitation per file is 2 GB, and no files will be deleted if you log in to your account at least every six months.

I don't think so. I save monthly and my game (playing with germany) does not crash on save-time^^. Autosave is the save harbor!

With 0.6 i had less crashes, but they are still a pain in the ass. In November 2008 sometimes Argentina declared war on the UK and the game crashed instantly. Yesterday i couldn't get over to december but today it worked the third try But i guess this is not the way it should work.

edit: independence of taiwan --> world war 3 --> unplayable

This file includes fixes I made after I uploaded the last upload...

@K W: I get 50GB with these guys...n free!

 

[unmerged(425784)]

Yeah..you're right.

 

[Payspro]

@Payspro: I get 50GB with these guys...n free!

I don't get it :/

 

[novapaddy]

I don't get it :/

Amended, apologies.

So how far along is this? I'd love to play this on DH, as I was never able to get it to work with HoI.

It works pretty well, but tends to crash pretty often early on in the game. To stave off the crashes, I used monthly autosave, which allowed me to get to February of 2008 (as Germany) until I reached a point where it seemed I kept crashing no matter how much I restarted.

 

[korodikrisz]

Vov, I've never reached 2004...

 

[Zhetone]

Monthly auto-saves are the key.
It got pretty interesting, I'd love to be able to continue it. Russia annexed the southern half of Ukraine after a civil war, Romania annexed Transnistria and Moldova, and Argentina declared war on the UK to get the Falklands. Also, I broke the military agreements made after German reunification and made Europe+the U.S. upset. China annexed Laos alongside some allies, too. Fun stuff.

 

[Zhetone]

Oh, and one minor complaint - there are too few techs, or they're too quickly researched. I can't figure out which it is off the top of my head, but yeah, research isn't as important as it should be.
