Operation Sealion...Scenario question :P

[Sir Kenny]

How many planes does an air division have?

 

[unmerged(35344)]

5 planes in each wing
3 wings in each squadron
3-5 squadrons per division

5*3*3 = 45
or
5*3*5 = 75

So between 45 and 75 aircraft in a division.

I´ve tried to make a Sealion scenario, but it failed when the RAF stayed on the ground.

 

[Sir Kenny]

Thanks...

 

[Sir Kenny]

Heres a part of the scenario eug file, And a couple of questions to...

name = "Operation Sealion"
panel = "[scenario pic]

header = {
name = "[What in the hell should i write here?]"
startyear = 1940
endyear = 1940
free = no <-------What does that mean?
combat = yes

 

[Lt Hilsdorf]

name = "[What in the hell should i write here?]" Just put the scenario name there again
free = no <-------What does that mean? Not sure but it needs to be NO for battlescenarios

 

[HMS Enterprize]

I believe 'free' is to do with battlescenarios and the amount of free IC that is generated to get new units...this contradicts what Lt Hilsdorf says and I could easily be wrong...

 

[Sir Kenny]

I been trying to at least get it work, i cloned this from the Fall weiss.

name = "Battle Of Britain"
panel = "scenarios/data/scenario_fallweiss.bmp"

I have remade the INC files.
When i load the scenario, the game freezes...
Im trying to get this to at least work, then i will add troops and other stuff.

What im doing wrong?

 

[Sir Kenny]

Btw..Found this on wikipedia:

free = no means the players cannot select countries other then the ones allowed below. If this is removed, players can select freely.

 

[Lt Hilsdorf]

Oh wow, that's actually helpful! Thanks, I didn't knowthat.

BTW send me all the files and I'll see what I can do (I've got some free time today). I'm guessing you're probably missing some "}" somewhere since there are no troops in it yet.

Whats wrong...

 

[JRShield]

I'm not an expert but maybe

enddate = {
year = 1940
month = july
day = 3
} hour = 1

 

[Sir Kenny]

That wont work...

 

[Sir Kenny]

There`s something wrong with the "globaldata" field..

Can someone tell me what?

 

[unmerged(34884)]

There`s something wrong with the "globaldata" field..

Can someone tell me what?

you have got
global date = {
rules= {
..
...
}

maybe take that one in rules out? or someone else should be there?

 

[Sir Kenny]

Im pretty sure that wont work...But i give it a try...

 

[Sir Kenny]

BOOM!

*HOI2 Crashes*

Nope...Wont work... :wacko:

 

[Zuckergußgebäck]

At the enddate of the war entry, the } should be after hour =, not before it.

 

[Lt Hilsdorf]

If you send them to me I'll be able to fix it I bet. It's much easier to find the problem when I can see all the files.
